Posted by StifuPosted by dirtbag Hmm I see the problem. How about if the import can't find an exact colour value match, it asks/ prompts the user to select the colour to use? A small request from me next time you look at the code in this area, could you set so when you tab in to a colour RGB values number input box the values are selected so you can type in a new value without having to press backspace/ delete? It's the only minor frustration I have. |

Posted by dirtbag I'd have to do that for every pixel in the tileset ("what's the color id for tile=1, x=1, y=1? what about tile=1, x=2, y=3?" and so on). That can't work. And remember, in this specific case, it *can* find an exact match. It's just that there's more than one exact match. Posted by dirtbag I'll have a look. |

Posted by gridatttack Yeah, there was such a patch. I still have the ROM on my computer. I could upload that patch if you can't find it online. I searched and couldnt find it :< It would be awesome if you could upload it But I wonder, say, if I want to add it to my hack, I would need to import/export everything right? Since im sure I cant use my modded rom because the tracks and everything will be switched back to the original right? Is there a way to export a RAW file of the road tiles along with its properties? As in, modding every tile to use the new palette and changing the behaviour its a bit tedious (and time consuming) ____________________ |

Posted by gridatttack Here you go. Posted by gridatttack No. You would check the differences between the original SMK ROM before and after patch, then apply the same changes on your modified ROM. This should work easily as long as this patch doesn't alter values that EE modified in your ROM. Posted by gridatttack No. I actually wanted to add import / export for tile properties, but didn't do it as I could find an elegant way to sneak that into the UI. I'm open to ideas. Maybe a modal pop-up window that opens as you click the import / export button below the tileset, that asks what you want to import / export (graphics, properties or palette associations, or something like that). |

Anyone have a clue on how to change what head is used on DKJR's body during his jump on the credits "Thank You" screen? I need to use the head that's used for victory if he wins a race. |

Posted by BLaBrake I'm confused. It's already using the head from his driver sprite (both frames). Or do you mean you only want to use the victory frame and not the normal one? |

I replaced him with a person. His slot seems to be reversed from the others in the order that he animated. Starts in victory, then goes into regular standing. It's using his regular standing head on the jumping body. Here's a link to a pic to show what I'm talking about. http://imgur.com/o6S43nu |

Posted by BLaBrake Oh I see. Yes, I remember this. If it's not in my notes, then I don't know. |

Posted by Stifu Thanks I wonder if I can locate where the display is located, since IMO it would be better if it was on the bottom left. Posted by StifuOh, I see. I was under the impression this is an ASM/complex hack. Posted by StifuYeah, an option window after clicking the arrow sounds like a good idea. Perhaps have the default selected option to be only graphics, so it doesn't get in the way. ____________________ |

I resolved my DKJR head issue by swapping the standing frame values at 5a4ba with the victory frame values at 5a4cc. Now he has the same pattern as the other characters and has the correct head while jumping. Just wanted to post how in case anyone else ran into the same thing. |

Indeed it was. It just took me a bit to realize that doing it would be the solution. I'm just tweaking and cleaning up now for the rest of my hack, so no more questions from me. |

So I discovered something peculiar. The fish behavior in an object seems to reset its position if one crosses the finish line. It doesnt need to be a full lap, just cross it and the fish will reset, so I recommend in not having fish right in front of the finish line, otherwise they will appear to teleport.
Also I wonder, it is possible to flip the track file somehow(Just the tiles, overlays and objects can be reassigned)? Using external means. I think I might flip my beach 1 track horizontally, but you know, tiling beach courses is soooooo painful.... Posted by BLaBrakeAny updates or screenshots? Would love to see your work as SMK hacks who changes other things just than tracks are always interesting ____________________ |

Thanks for the interest. I PM'd you a link so that you can check it out. |

Posted by gridatttack It's possible to code something like that, and it's been requested before, but it hasn't been done. Also, if not all tiles have a horizontal equivalent, then that'd require tileset graphics changes too (or you could just not bother thinking about it and just flip all tile graphics). If you know programming, it's pretty straight forward to change the map. Create 2 bidimensional arrays, source and target, and fill the target array from the source one. You can do that from a map-only track export done with EE (keeping in mind the last byte is the theme used). |

Alright thanks. Ill look into it. I think I will end up flipping it by hand.
Anyway, I discovered that the wave animation isnt implemented on battle mode, so one cant make a nice beach battle course... It seems battle mode its really different. So far the missing wave animation and grass acting like out of bounds... ____________________ |

Posted by gridatttack Can you code at all? I could help you. Posted by gridatttack Also, different starting position logic, and no objects (pipes, etc). There are probably more differences (haven't checked the Bowser lava animation, for example). |

Posted by Stifu Im in the process Learning Java, and I think the editor is in c++ or something else. So maybe I wont be able to until much later :< Posted by StifuAnd also the regenerative overlay ? item box. Also I can confirm the lava animation works. Since its animation is the same type as the used shallow water of battle course 2. I wonder what other things we will come across. ____________________ |

Posted by gridatttack When you say "the editor", do you mean EE? It's in C#, which is pretty close to Java. But that's not the point: since you can export track map as files, it doesn't matter which language you use in the end, as long as you can read and write files. You don't need to understand the EE source code or anything. |
