| I'm new to ROM hacking and would like to create a custom SMB3 adventure, and perhaps even write my own editor someday.
Here's what I have: - Familarity with basic computer science. - Some knowledge of C++. - Nestopia emulator. - Super Mario Bros. 3 (JU) [!].nes ROM - SMB3 Workshop - SMB3 Discombobulator - SMB3 Map Editor (smb3map.exe with P-Wing icon) - SMB3 Text Editor (smb3txt.exe by Dcahrakos) - Plenty of time, patience, and willingness to learn. - A user name that accurately reflects my existing level of knowledge and skill. : p I've already created a fully-functional from-scratch level in place of World 1-1. Although it's nothing really worth showing, it's a start (I hope). Here's what I need: Links to beginners-level information. For example, although I was able to get a level to work, I have little if any knowledge about HOW it works, so I wouldn't know how to, for example, change the first level from the grassy/plains style to a dungeon/fortress level, for example. (It seems that the best I can do so far is makes the colors messed up.) Also, although I could work my way around a hex editor (and probably make some basic code in C++ to do the same thing if I wanted to), I have no idea how that data comes together to make a working game except for the most abacadarian elements, like changing the types of certain objects and enemies. Links to existing beginners-level information about the format of the data in the ROM, how to use the SMB3 Workshop, and about SMB3 hacking and level editing in general would be greatly appreciated. Second, are there any other Windows-based programs or tools for SMB3 hacking that would be useful? I've tried to be modest by asking for useful links to existing information, instead of posting a "teach me how to do this" kind of thread. Any useful thoughts, feedback, comments would be appreciated. |
