Posted by Quick CurlyThat's what I have to go through. When I add/clone and objects, it appears at the top of the level, and before I found this out, I was saving crash objects. I then figured it out and had to drag all those objects down to where I needed them. I was making good progress until the I posted that screenshot. I loaded the shot in Paint and erased everything on the left side so that nobody could see my level. (Silly me.  ) I might have accidentally add a "Gray Platform" and can't seem to find it.
Posted by Quick CurlyI'm afraid only a professional like you could do that.

I don't know if some one already figured out what I am going to post it anyway:
About the pipe which "ignores pointers". It looks like they doesn't ignore the pointers, but the part of level header which is set to send you to the next area you supposse to go. But you will need use the pointers ( I mean that green 3 bytes object) to make it work because they will set in which place of Bonus area of the current world you will be sent. It would open more possibilities of gameplay and secrets. |

Posted by KP9000I just looked at my old hack, the only ROM I patched. I looked at some levels which were pointed from others and I didn't see anything. 
And are there Munchers that increase by length, because it would take up too much room if someone has to add a mucher a piece. ____________________ No quotes found; we apologize for the inconvenience. Commas, question marks, and semicolons are available, though. |

Posted by KP9000I don't get it. Ironic. Today at school I managed to open a ROM with the TSA Editor, but I still can't find a way to do something with it. How do I draw on there? ____________________ No quotes found; we apologize for the inconvenience. Commas, question marks, and semicolons are available, though. |

Posted by zbyteDid you read the readme? Basically everything is explained in there... Just keep in mind that the TSA Editor doesn't let you edit graphics like the graphics editors do; it's used to edit which tiles are drawn to make up the blocks in each object set. Anyway, I've been doing my own TSA editing directly in FCEUXD like I do with pretty much everything else, so I no longer care that the TSA Editor doesn't work on my home computer. The real question you have to ask yourself is WHY do you need to do TSA editing? Are there certain blocks that don't look right when combined with some of your graphic edits? There's always a possibility that TSA editing won't be necessary, but it's something that you convince yourself is necessary just because there's a program out there that will supposedly make doing it more convenient. An example of a case that you would have to edit TSA is seen below. When the coloured block platforms overlap each other, there are blank tiles that are drawn for the colour of the platform in the back and the shadow of the platform in the front. Since the coloured block platforms are originally mostly blank, you won't necessarily notice that this is the case. However, if you change the graphics for the platforms and place overlapping coloured block platforms in your levels like KP and I did, you'll notice that the platform in the back won't look right because the blank tiles will not go with the design that you added. For this reason, you have to figure out the proper IDs of the blocks so that you can edit which tiles are used accordingly. Hopefully that gives you an idea of how and why TSA editing could be an issue. Now give Luigi a hug!  Second image borrowed from KP as a second example and to put him over as he edits graphics easier and better than I do. |

Quick Curly! You are the Man with the Plan! 
And and hour ago, thanks to you, I replaced the World 1 music successfully! 
Also, I'm getting better at graphics. Hopefully your hack will be released this week.  No, it probably won't.____________________ No quotes found; we apologize for the inconvenience. Commas, question marks, and semicolons are available, though. |

Posted by zbyteIt's funny because I used to use that catch phrase to describe myself all the time.
Sounds good. I literally haven't had time to eat every regular meal since school started up again. I've been spending more time at school than at home. I know no one really cares, but I had to get this off my chest. That should give you an idea of how busy I've actually been and I apologize if my posts seem to have been a little edgy as of late. It's simply the lack of sleep and feeling that I've been robbed of my freedom. In short, I haven't had time to work on the hack regularly and I don't have any updates for it yet. I can tell you right now that you probably won't be seeing a release for quite a while because I have no choice but to put school first; it's my third and final year, and there's more work involved than the first two years combined. The only real free time I have is used to eat breakfast in the morning, supper at night, and for a four-or-so-hour nap. On top of that, since Luigi's Chronicles 2 was put before Quick Bros. 2, you can definitely not expect Quick Bros. 2 to be released for even longer, if I even end up releasing it at all. |

I hope to have details/screens up by the end of the week. I'm doing this while I'm getting married and working, lol.
I can say that this hack will be aim for completion, not complete over haul. With my previous projects, I spent way too much time on doing ASM hacks and not enough time on level design. Plus, I kind of want to prove to the world you can make a great hack without extensive ASM hacking. |

WHOA! You returned too! Nice man! Glad to see that you're back!!!!! Do you think you'll release the "Ultimate SMB3 Editor"? Anyways, I've got some good ideas for those old hacks such as "Luigi's Coin Quest" and others. Do you think you could release a Mario and Luigi patch so that they're actually two different characters? ____________________ No quotes found; we apologize for the inconvenience.

Posted by "DahrkDaiz" NO! How dare you steal my idea! 
I kid, I kid. 
On a more serious note, it's nice to see one of the foremost authorities in SMB3 hacking jump back into the scene. It's uplifting and encouraging, seeing as yours is one of the very few Mario 3 hacks I've actually been able to play to completion without becoming disgusted by the second or third level. I have faith that, in time, you will deliver another masterpiece unto our humble little community. Good luck to you, Dahrk! ____________________ Back from the beyond. |

Posted by DahrkDaiz I have 0% ASM projects with SMB3 in it's name. Good to see you again. Don't know if I'm going to hack SMB3 this or next year. |

KP, I'm not sure what's going on, but those graphics look tight! Keep 'em coming!
Posted by Quick CurlyHeh he...Posted by zbyteThe SMB3 TSA Editor does work; it depends on the computer though. I cannot use it on my home computer either, but it works on the computers at school. Since Z brought this up though, is there anyone who knows why this might be the case? I tried contacting DahrkDaiz ages ago about it, but of course I got no reply. Could it be a missing DLL?

How about hacking SMB3 to use a completely different level format so a level can be created absolutely anyway that you want. There would be an editor to go along with it so you can literally do 1 to 1 tile placement and basically "paint" a level. Also, every level would have it's own palette that you can create and up to 15 pointers that can go to different levels. How does that sound?
Btw, as for the TSA editor, I apologize, I'm not sure what the problem could be. It's written in vanilla C++, so no .DLL's are needed to run it. |

Posted by KP9000On SMA4, the space issue is fixed by using LZ77 compression. You could do the same thing in SMB3, but you'll have to provide your own decompression routine. ____________________ Wife make lunch - Shampoo Opera - give it a spin Spare some of your free time? <GreyMaria> I walked around the Lake so many goddamn times that my sex drive was brutally murdered Kawa rocks — byuu |
