No. One of the CV hacks done by Thaddeus allows you to fight dracula on level 4 although you do end up fighting Drac's ghost right after beating Drac's human form per usual and the game will continue after that level is completed.

So, that's a yes to the part of my quote that you addressed then. (Because in no way did I say you couldn't move bosses)

However, for an editor, I wouldn't use either Java or C#. In my experience, the higher level the language, the harder it is to work with binary files. I honestly wouldn't even know where to begin with either C# or Java. I do remember when I was messing with stuff in VB4, binary files gave me many headaches. In contrast, with the zamn editor (written in C), I could make structs and arrays of structs and copy the data from the game almost directly in to them. And writing the data back was about as simple.


Old VB's file access sucked. C#/VB .NET's file access isn't anything like old VB (although I do believe you can still use the old-style file access in VB .NET), it's a lot more powerful, and easier to understand.

Personally, I think you should write the editor in whatever language you know. But in my opinion, using C/C++ for something as simple as a level editor is a bit overkill. Most high-level languages (well Java/.NET/Delphi at least) come with class libraries that eclipse C and C++ standard libraries.

Even if you are using an IPSed version of the hack, then you are still using custom blocks. You just can't be bothered fiddling with it.

Put the ROM in the same directory, rename the ROM to 'smb3.nes' and enter that in the path/filename dialog that appears when you first run the program.

Some Famicom Wars stuff:

The level data for the first level is at 0x10056. The (what I presume to be) header's for each level are at 0x10012. The header is made up of 4 bytes. The first two bytes I don't know what they are, but the last two bytes are the pointers to the actual level. The header data runs all the way to 0x10055. The pointer table for the TSA data is located at 0x1B2E9. The TSA data's format are the four bytes that make each 16x16 block, followed by the byte that controls which palette to use.

The title screen is located around 0x493C, and it looks to be slightly compressed. (RLE, quite possibly)

Here. It's also the first result if you type "SMB3 Workshop" into Google.

Lunar Compress might have some kind of free space finder. Look at Blocktool's source, because I'm pretty sure it looks for free space using Lunar Compress.

There are other patching formats about. NINJA patches is at least one.

Why can't you just change the graphics yourself?

A better patch format would be nice, though, especially since IPS provides no way to ensure you have the correct byte order.


NINJA.

Yep, it is indeed. (As evidenced by the window's icon, and the fact he's mentioned VB several times in this thread)

Sounds more like a problem with your computer than SMB3 workshop itself.

Try using SMB3 workshop instead.

For you maybe. But lots of other people have used it without a problem. Don't bad mouth a program and spread false facts just because you can't get it to work.

That would be jumping the gun to say the least. One of the prerequisites for a new forum is lot of threads about the subject in question. There is like one thread about Mario 64 at the moment.

Did you find out how to control where your base is? I noticed that even by changing your base to another place, you can still only create units in the old position.
