Cross post from SMWC
Technically it functions as it is, but it only inserts .asm blocks. Blocktool .bin functionality is promised and will be the next feature. It doesn't suffer from slowdown with a jump table instead of an elseif style of searching blocktool uses. Two methods are / will be made avaliable for insertion blocks. It's a .NET 2.0 app, you'll need the framework if you want to run this. -xkas .asm files -blocktool .bin files Upon first time opening, you'll be told where it installed a hack. This is the same address you'd place in a hex editor (points to RATS tag). Then, you're free to add blocks and insert them. Save your changes and see how it works. It generates two files at the moment. A "blocks.db" file which is the database for blocks avaliable for insertion and a " The pictures below should explain themselves. The block data editor 
The legacy tab 
Choose a block 
Currently inserted blocks 
I mentioned an .asm block for xkas, which an example of is shown here.
The JMPs MUST be there for it to function since that's what my code jumps to in the block (to replace the function of offsets). Basically what you have here is something that makes the screen partially black when mario is on top. The code always ends in RTL. Don't place header / lorom or orgs because the program does that automatically. There is no way for me to tell whether xkas has produced an error since it outputs a file uncondtionally, although testing a block in command line shouldn't be that much of a hassle at all. Desptie that minor issue I chose xkas over TRASM because since TRASM is pretty much a fossil from the demoscene (1994) and as such has a few issues that really bugged me during sprite programming. -Math system is busted. I remember trying to get some simple math going and had no success, then I gave up trying when not even the examples including in it's .doc were failing. -Missing opcodes (ouch) -Loopholes need to be taken when writing certain data to the output -Errors which aren't caught at all (anyone here ever met the "wtf mate" error from sprite tool when TRASM outputs a different sized file between passes?). Really got on my nerves. Let me know what you think. http://smkdan.eludevisibility.org/other/btsd02.zip |

Sounds nice, but logging on from school photobucket is blocked 
At this rate nobody is even going to want me to finish my version of blocktool  |

HELL YES.
I've been waiting for an alternate block inserter without slowdown for so long, and here it is. I hope this is completed to the end.  ____________________ "There are 3 types of people in this world: Those who can count and those who can't."  |

Sukasa: I assume you were authoring the version of blocktool I heard about before. I remember reading a SMWC thread about it a while ago.
From SMWC: I tried adding .bin support and updated the link with it. What it does is provide a 'wrapper' for the blocks (they use RTS and BT defined offsets) and apply everthing else accordingly. These blocks will not slowdown for being .bin for anything. I tested the sensitive brick (see in the pic in the edit, just copy everything over (yes offsets are in decimal adn relocs are in hex). It seems to work fine. Whole page isn't there, but apart from that it should run .bin blocks fine. |

Blocktool omega? Yes, that's the one. |
