-Welcome to the board!

-Read the FAQ.

-Have fun and enjoy your stay.

If this is how you were going to greet me, let me just say:

YOU FAIL!

These phrases are so cliché and predictable. You need to be original and creative just like my post (except the thread title, since I 'borrow' it). Yeah, that was a bit mean, but it's the truth.

Were was I? Oh, yeah! Here's some info of my browsing before joining.

----About my browsing on Acmlm's Board----

I have been browsing this board for about 2 years, I have seen users get promoted and some falling to disgrace. And some being banned too many times that I lost count. I have seen recently the return of old members that have been members at the old board.

I know about the crash of March 2004, it changed the board forever but managed to return back online. And also about the 'crash' of November 2005 (or is it Octuber?) that happened because of various bugs on the board (and probably drama).

Since Acmlm' Board is now stable (for now), I'm going to join after 2 years of browsing. You may at first think that I'm just showing off, but this is what happens when you're browsing for more than 2 years.

How did I found out about this board? Lunar Magic.

----About my browsing on the Internet----

I mostly see Photoshop pictures and sites related to the theme. And I also like to browse at Uncyclopedia, since that site is quite funny and a parody of Wikipedia.

----About my abilities as a SMW hacker----

I have knowledge that some of you haven't found just yet, but thanks to my determination to improve myself, I have found it (mostly by curiosity).

From November 2003 to November 2005, I mostly used level design and ExGFX in my test hacks and I wanted to know how to create my own custom blocks (so I can have the SMB3 cannons!), until I found Glyph Phoenix's ASM tutorial that featured some examples of custom blocks.

I have become quite good at making custom blocks and also fixing and improving some existing custom blocks. One of the first blocks that I remember making was a block that puts a 1-UP in your item box (that was way before I knew how custom blocks worked!). But now that I know how to create my custom blocks using RAM addresess, the SMB3 cannons are now a reality. However, I must give credit to KT and Ghettoyouth for the inspiration they have given to me.

Also, I have STR (Sprite Tile Remapping) abilities that allow me to change the tile mappings of the sprites. All I did was fix the frame of the sliding Blue Koopa and I got quite good on STR. So using STR, I can create a Thunder Lakitu by just remapping the tiles of Lakitu and using Palenemy (but I won't tell you how I did that just yet).

That reminds me, I have found ROM addresses that you will find useful. I may well post them on the board, since I don't want data just sitting around in my computer.

Whoa! Too much information? Well, at least I'm not a n00b, which is why I put that thread title. Until then, I will see you some other time because I'm tired.

what should I do?

1)Don't say a word or else...

2)Erase any evidence of me being in here

3)Trick a n00b into getting banned

4)Delete me from the Matrix

5)Prove that I'm worthy of being in here

6)Contribute something in the rom hacking forums

7)Convince Xkeeper to insert a code that prevents legoman from posting in the rom hacking forums

8)Join the Dark Side

9)All of the above

10)Meh, I don't care

I'm not an old member, I just joined after browsing for more than 2 years as a guest. So I'm familiar with some of the users (old members, new members) and some of the forums.

Lunar Magic is the utility that started it all, I have evolved from level design to minor ASM hacks. I still have a lot to learn so I can have those vertical scrolling levels, but for now I will just wait.

As for the SMB3 cannons, I will only give them to people who are truly worthy of having them in their hacks.

I think I will evolve than just posting at the rom hacking forums, sooner or later, I will begin posting at the other forums.

Thank you for your replies!

A war? I only have two words to say:

SNIPER KITTY!!!!!!

I know is overrated, but it is the ultimate weapon to have. I will cause the enemy to be fooled with their cute looks and then BAM!

Many of you probably can't be fooled, but what about the cat owners? Do you really think they will ever kill such ''cute kitty''?

*laughs evilly*

I have a hate/love relationship with the Fox Network. On one side I watch some of their successful shows, but on the other I critisize some their failing shows.

But this isn't about me, I can also be about some of your opinions you have of the Fox Network. And it can also be about some of their methods they have done along the years (either good or controversial).

So, what's your opinion on this?

I agree on this method. I may not be part of the staff, but some of my opinions can probably be useful.

We need to set an example on certain users who refuse to obey the rules. I think giving them a link to the list of banned users or angry PM's should give them a scare.

If that doesn't work, maybe an IP ban should be the most effective way.

I know this is harsh, but I have been browsing this forum many times and at least there must be some 2 year experience with SMW hacking before entering this forum.

Last year, I predicted that shows like "Head Cases", "Arrested Development" and "Kitchen Confidential" would get cancelled.

I was right.

I guess if you are familiar with certain TV networks for some time you can predict their next move.

As long as they don't cancel returning shows (like Family Guy), I'm ok. But if that happens, I'm going to end my relationship with the Fox Network and will switch to CBS.

I hope the Fox Network is not the jealous type.

EDIT:

Based on recent news, I removed Futurama since it won't return. What a shame.

Thanks to Glyph Phoenix's ASM Tutorial, I know how custom blocks and Palenemy work.

So you can consider me adding me in the Basic ASM/Custom Block requests through PM. However, I must admit that sometimes I'm not perfect and that some blocks are way too complex for me to handle and make. Also, I may not be here at all times, I have a life outside of this board. So you must have patience with me.

If I'm not on the list, then I understand your decision. No hard feelings.

Posted on 03-23-06 07:31 PM, in PalEnemy and Bullet Bill Shooter Link
I have figured out how to use Glyph Phoenix's PalEnemy.ips with the Bullet Bill Shooter.

Here's a link to the thread for more info:

http://board.acmlm.org/archive/thread.php?id=19032

Here's a link to the patch:

http://www.freewebtown.com/illegalmove/palenemy.ips

If you have applied the patch successfully and also make a backup of your hack, then follow these steps:

1.-Open the hack in a hex editor.

2.-Go to address x136B1 and replace A9 1C 99 9E 00 with 22 08 FE 13 EA.

3.-Save the changes and play the hack in the emulator.

4.-If the Bullet Bill Shooter begins to generate Shelless Green Koopas, you're ready to go.

5.-If you want the Bullet Bill Shooter to generate a certain enemy, go into Lunar Magic, select "Edit Extended Animation Frames". Select "Normal" or any other entrie, leave the "Palette" entrie intact, put in the "Destination" FF and in the frames put "xx00".

xx is the sprite you want to put in (00-C8). See the "Add Sprites Window" in Lunar Magic for their value.

NOTE: Values 12, 36 and 69 should not be used, unless they have been edited and replaced. Value 53 must not be used and replaced at all. Also, values C9 and above will freeze/crash your hack, so don't use them!!!

I can't take all the credit for this info, so here's a list of people I would like to thank:

BMF54123
Creator of PalAsm on which the code was based.

Glyph Phoenix
Creator of PalEnemy and author of the ASM Tutorial.

Atma X
Info on the sprite Lakitu throws.
Info on the sprite Lakitu throws when the silver P-switch is active.

Mattrizzle
Info on the sprite Puntin' Chuck kicks.

Bio
Info on the sprite that the Bullet Bill Shooter uses.

I also would like to thank people who have given me inspiration:

Ghettoyouth
For showing screens with goomba generators.

KT
For SMWR2 that showed his ASM skills.

I'm not familiar with the Lunar Magic extra info since I only know basic ASM. I don't think the Bullet Bill Shooters have support for sprite 53 since it doesn't appear even after I changed offset x1232E 08 to 0B. Maybe it's just me.

But if you know how it can be done, I will appreciate it.

Posted on 03-23-06 10:39 PM, in PalEnemy and Bullet Bill Shooter Link
In order to disable the sound of the Bullet Bill Shooters in certain levels but are also enabled in other levels, I have created:

PALSOUND.

I would like to give credit to Glyph Phoenix for the code of PalEnemy. All I did was simply change a RAM Address in the PalEnemy code in order to create PalSound.

RAT tag:

53 54 41 52 0F 00 F0 FF

The RAT tag will prevent the data from being erased or overwritten. Be sure to put this first!

PalSound code:

A9 xx 8D 21 21 AD 3B 21 AD 3B 21 8D FC 1D 6B

It’s similar to PalEnemy, but uses 8D FC 1D for the sound. The xx is the value in the palette it will read (00-FF). For example, if you put FE in there, every time it reads that value it will play a sound depending on the first two digits of the SNES RGB value.

Go to offset x136A7 and replace the data with 22 xx xx xx EA. Where xx xx xx is the address in LoRom where you put the PalSound data. If you have Lunar Address, then use it to convert the PC address (were you put the Palsound data) into a LoRom address. For example, if the code is at xA0022 the address in LoRom should be $13:FE22. Since LoRom addresses are little endian (backwards), this should be as 22 FE 13. Make sure there’s free space in the ROM. Be sure to save the changes in the hex editor.

In Lunar Magic, open the "Edit Extended Animation Frames" dialog. Where it says “Not Used” change it to Normal or any other entries, leave the Palette entrie as it is, in the "Destination" put FE (or any other value the PalSound code uses in there) and in the frames put the sound values as SNES RGB values. Here’s an example:

09 (cannon being shot) as SNES RGB value: 900

If you use 0000 it won’t play a sound, but if you use 900 it will play the sound of a cannon being shot. This useful in case you want to create those enemy generators without any sound in a certain level but with sound in the next.

DO NOT USE values 62 to FF because they will freeze/crash your ROM and also may crash the SPC700!!!

I did this so I can disable and enable the sound of the Bullet Bill Shooters in certain levels, but it can also be used for other sprite generators that also use sounds when generating a sprite.

EDIT:

Added info about LoRom Addresses being little endian (backwards). Sorry about the ealier confusion and any problems caused.
