| I like where this is going. Almost every character is poorly resized, and "League of Completely Unrelated Characters" is so very telling of sprite comicry.
I bet if you left completely unrelated sprites alone for a while they'd eventually start a vast civilization with complex governmental systems. No reason. Just sayin'. |

| The thing is, even when standing still that address is wildly changing.
If I leave the code alone nothing particularily bad seems to happen, so I guess I don't need to know what it is to keep working on my hack anyway. |

| I've got a suggestion: More cliches and quicker cliches.
#4 is good. The clone army is win, especially with the hidden mistake Luigi and the shadowy figure is a common entity in bad sprite comics. #3 is bad. Chaos Emeralds are pretty funny additions, but the meandering after that isn't funny bad, just bad bad. I think if you fit more hilariously stupid things in and more quickly the comic would be better. Keep it moving, and don't leave a panel or two without a blatantly cliched happening if you can. |

| A moving block like that would be muchly impossible. Sprites can move around separately from the others; blocks can't. Changing the graphics of Thwimp is as close as you're going to get. | |||

| I'd really love to be able to stop the screen from scrolling mid-level (and start it again) but I don't know what I could write to in order to make that happen. Does anyone know?
I would simply like the game to temporarily think the level is a "No vertical or horizontal scroll" level, if possible. I am aware that the graphics glitch if Mario moves while scrolling is temporarily disabled. I can work around this. (edited by Glyph Phoenix on 06-03-06 09:45 PM) |

Originally posted by HyperMackerel It obviously does when it comes to Kyouji's hack, because events only glitch when the speedup key is used. It's not like that makes much sense, it's just what happens. |

| What do LevelASM, HDMA, custom blocks, or backgrounds have to do with anything? I just wanted somewhere in RAM to write.
SnifflySquirrel, thanks. I'll use that. (edited by Glyph Phoenix on 06-04-06 08:14 PM) |

| So, I came up with this hack where Mario would switch between two forms, Super Mario and Shadow Mario. I did a bit of coding on it, but I'm still not sure how to change Fire Mario's palette to a shadowy palette and I still don't have a Special Jump for Shadow Mario.
Well, actually, I do, and that's why I made this thread. I call it the Shadow Jump, and it activates when the former Spin Jump button is pressed when Mario has the secondary palette. When used, scrolling is disabled. Mario can move around in the unscrollable level, and when he presses select, he snaps back to where he was when he used the Shadow Jump. It's designed to allow Mario to avoid danger on the snap back, like if he were falling or some such. I wanted to show this interesting jump to you guys because I'm going to get rid of it. It's not as useful as I'd like, it breaks up the action a bit, and you shouldn't have to press select to use it. It's neat, but not final version neat. If anybody has any better ideas for this secondary paletted Mario, I'd like to hear them. There are a couple of other things the patch does like make regular Mario's jump into a high jump that makes him invincible on the way up, a jump designed to reach high places and avoid danger. The patch should be attached. I've done some other mucking around so only an unmodified SMW will do. For any wondering about the only level's name, it's a pun-- I'm going to put a key in the level. |

Originally posted by Koneko Yeah, Shadow Jump's got quite a few problems, really. I don't plan on fixing it because I just don't want the jump around anyway. Why bother? Originally posted by Koneko That would be unbalanced. If Shadow Mario were invincible to enemies, who'd want too play as anything else? Besides, enemies are too avoidable anyway. Mario should get something for fighting them. In fact, I've been thinking about switching the timed charge meter for one that only goes up when Mario beats an enemy. Waiting may be a gameplay element in certain situations but when there aren't enemies around, it's just an inconvinience. Games and inconvinience don't mix. Anyway, I opted for the Metal Cap's falling through water like air instead... Originally posted by Bio ...which brings us to this comment. I think this could be a very good gameplay element. Water levels could have a new level of depth if one type of Mario can walk along the bottom of watery trenches and the other can swim through it. Shadow Mario moves faster than regular Mario in water and would be able to use all his abilities like normal while Mario has obvious advantage of being buoyant. Originally posted by Bio Sometimes you can see Mario's outline when he's behind the scenery and an enemy rolls past him. Also, I can't imagine it looking good when Mario pops out of the scenery out of nowhere, or when you have to navigate parts of the level without being able to see Mario. Also, I think I might end up making parts of the level Mario's supposed to always be in front of that would fall behind him when he used his powerup. Finally, I have a classic example of overthinking: for all the effort I have put into this hack, it never occured to me that Lunar Magic could edit Fire Mario's palette until Kyouji pointed it out to me. |

| I think I might make a super special available once Mario or Shadow Mario has charged up a lot, and for Shadow Mario temporary blinking status will probably be it. It's not a terribly interesting ability and I wouldn't want it widely availiable alongside Mario's high jump. I also don't plan on using Blocktool at all, so no blocks only vanished Shadow Mario can cross.
Don't worry about replacing powerups; shadow can work alongside existing powerups. Mushrooms do indeed do something, as they change small Mario to Big Mario. I might even leave Fire and Cape Mario in, but I don't like either of those because flying across levels or tearing through enemies you could easily have jumped on is no fun. The system doesn't quite work right yet because I replaced the item box flag with the shadow/not shadow flag, and sometimes that byte is still written to when Mario gets a powerup. Some more time with the debugger should easily fix that, though. Kyouji, yes, Super Mario Illiad's cape replacement sucked. That hack wasn't good all around, and if I were to do more work on this hack it would turn out better than SMI. I agree that reusing the cape is no good. It'd still just be the cape spin, and giving players an ability they've already seen but without the more useful but unbalanced flight along with it is no good. I sure don't want to make flight available in normal levels. Also, I've been thinking of just disassociating this secondary Mario with Shadow Mario altogether. I was going to tie that into the story somehow with that paintbrush or something but it'd really just be confusing. Maybe I'll break down and do Boo Mario like Chaos Force suggested way back in the nbase thread.  |

I think it's hilarious that two radically, radically different things have the same internet slang abbreviation. I mean, I know it was bound to happen given the wide variety of things people don't like to spell out, but it's hilarious.

| I really should play hacks before I post in their threads like before. I went off on some tangent on incongrous hack elements which is still true but I really should have played the damn demo first.
SNN, Blackhole was referring to all of the decent things mentioned that the guy never went through with. Where's the Player House? Why can't we buy things? Those were the cool, decent things that supposedly were already added but yet are nowhere to be found. And the things that do exist suck. Fog of War is just a fancy name for the already existing overworld event system. The friendlies are just Koopas with the interact with Mario bit changed. This is bullshit. |

Originally posted by Bio No, the forces of justice will defeat it so in the next storyline there gets to be an even more ultimate n00b to fight. It'll take a couple dozen episodes, though. |

It marks the gates of hell, you rube. 
Xkeeper had the hilarious idea to put it on the SMW sign. |
