I was wondering, does anyone know if there is a tool for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga? I have always wnated to hack it, but never found a tool. I there is not, I would really hope someone could make one, because I have a whole script ready for Wario & Waluigi: Superstrange Saga.

there's a stickied thread for questions like this, but as far as I know, no.

Did you try seeing if the text is uncompressed yourself? You don't need a full-fledged editor for a script hack. Any graphic editor can do graphics :/

Really? Well, I am a mapper, and can not script or sprite to save my life. But I will be using Wario, Waluigi, and Wart sprites from the Spriters Resource, with credit of course.

Well there's your scripting.

If you're going to be in ROM Hacking, you need to be more than a "mapper." Which any bloke can do. Learn to do more than what a program can for you. First step: find that text.

No, by 'script' I meant a movie kind of script. As in I have a basic outline of the game.

What is with this "i'm only a mapper" crap? The "i can't do that kind of thing" attitude doesn't help you get any better at ROM hacking.

Listen, I usually only hack Pokemon games, and in that I am skilled at mapping, but I can use tools to edit text and switch around events, though poorly. I know that I would be skilled at mapping in ML with any mapping tool, but for me to edit sprites and maps, it would have to be a good tool. So I really CAN script and sprite, but only to a small extent. The best spriting I can do is recolors and the best scripting I can do is changing a peson/whatever into an already existing person/whatever.

AFAIK, there are little to no tools for Superstar Saga. Hone your skills in Pokémon and another game like... I don't know, pick one that has editors.

Yeah, um, you need to stop relying on editors. They're there to simplify a tedious process, not do everything for you. You've got your script, which is arguably the hardest part of a text hack. Now all you have to do is figure out how the text is stored. Take a single day to learn the basics of text editing (not typing). You can run a basic search after that. Chances are, you'll know where the text is in a matter of minutes.

In other words, try doing work. It really feels better when you've done something, not a program.
