Deleting a Solidity Mod when there is only one left. Open a clean ROM and go to Level Map 100 and try removing the Solidity Mod from the toolbar the left.
After the exception is thrown, and you choose to continue, you can create new Solidity Mods, but there is no "SOLIDITY MOD #x" text, and the buttons ungray themselves to edit the supposedly nonexistant Solidity Mods. System.DivideByZeroException: Attempted to divide by zero. at LAZYSHELL.LevelSolidMods.Mod.CopyToTilemap() at LAZYSHELL.LevelSolidMods.set_Width(Int32 value) at LAZYSHELL.Levels.solidModsWidth_ValueChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.NumericUpDown.set_Value(Decimal value) at LAZYSHELL.Levels.RefreshSolidModProperties() at LAZYSHELL.Levels.solidModsDelete_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This edit should weave out the thrown exceptions that don't make sense. |

Super Mario RPG Rom Hack "Reserve_22//".
Approx. hack length: >30 minutes. Detailed information. Nothing extravagant here, just a small ROM hack. Mario finds himself falling from the sky into a mansion owned by some Lakitu named "Laki-Laki." whom has let her mansion be infested with ghosts and ghouls of several kinds. Creepy stuff happens in nowhere. See for yourself what happens. Screenshots. 
Download. Board 2 Uploaded Link to hack. (IPS.) ---------------------------------------------------- You're welcome to pick apart this hack, and learn from what it has to offer, despite not being a whole lot. This hack was lots of trial and error, and I wanted to make Gian a little more hopeful that people CAN make some cool stuff with his editor, since there aren't as many hacks as in Super Mario World. You can't just pick up the editor and make some stupid, glitchy level and call it a hack. ...well, no, that's not true. You can do it, it just takes more effort to create something in LS than LM. Point is, I want feedback on this hack, and hope that some people can use some tricks that I used here to create your own hacks, or improve on them. |

I know about most of those bugs, I believe...
And it took me about six days and about 36-38 hours from first modification total. Glad you liked it so much. ____________________ Introduction to The Lazy Shell Editor (youtube) Super Modify RPG's Youtube Channel. |

@Hanto
Spoiler:
-Yup, I did. I was planning on having the game go into Game Over if you didn't fight him. I didn't know how that would plan out. -You're talking about the invisible floor? That was supposed to be a Tilemap Mod, but I made the excuse of "It's a ghost house. Invisible floors." -Yeah, I noticed that as soon as I made it, but if I made the tile one too narrow, it doesn't reach the edge. @Yakibomb For the Final Boss Sequence: Spoiler:
-Warp to level, -Fade to white slowly -Once completely white, tint all options to 252, 252, 252, everything but 1/2 sub and whatever the one under that one is. -Fade in from White -Dlg -Warp to Culex level. -Penumbra slowmotion sequence. -Fade to white -Fade in from Black, Fade back to black, warp back to level. -Sequence. You're welcome to go to the script itself. Check the level's auto-ran script. As for the bugs, I know most of them, and I'll fix them as soon as I have time. Thanks for the feedback, you two. I'm glad this is going over so far. EDIT: There is a formation set with Shy Ghoul in it, other than the final battle. Formations are set at random in a cluster of formations, and I noticed through some playtesting that Shy Ghoul and Banshee Soul were two enemies that were rarely encountered, due to formation clustering, since they randomly pick from those three formations. I'll try to fix these when I get the chance next. ____________________ Introduction to The Lazy Shell Editor (youtube) Super Modify RPG's Youtube Channel. |

Yeah, you can use a springboard.
You'll need to do a little modifying of script 65 on your side, which makes a springboard and Mario jump up (or down if you have a certain bit set.) onto or off the springboard. Open up Event Script 65 for me. 
Should look a little something like this, right? Click on "Obj Mem 70A8, etc" Then click the "EDIT COMMAND" button at the bottom of the window, should be a little toolbar with a bunch of icons, should be the single sheet of paper with dots on it. 
Should look a little something like that. Now, go to the right side of the window, where it says "Mem 70A8," and click that drop down menu. A few selections below it should be the list of NPCs you can use. You may want to set it to NPC #0, for simplicity's sake. 
Now, that this has happened, there should be another action queue with the same thing as above, and you should change that to NPC #0. (Or whichever you prefer.) This should mean, that any NPC #0 in any level that has it's event set to "65" should run that event. Be sure to set the trigger to "Jump on" in the LEVELS section of the editor. If you need clarification on any of the steps above, please tell me. I'll assist you the best that I can. You also need to have an exit floating above the NPC (Preferably pretty high up there.) for Mario to exit to it. I would think, anyway. You should expirement around. Also be sure to keep most Script 65 unedited, because this game is rather fragile, and simple command in the wrong script could make the game go haywire. I would know from expirence. ____________________ Introduction to The Lazy Shell Editor (youtube) Super Modify RPG's Youtube Channel. |

Posted by digikid195 All I'm going to say on that part is: "Good luck to you." If you can pull it off, you'll be known well for it. The only real "Full" hacks so far are the ones made by Gian, being Bob-Omb Mafia and OFFEREZEPS, but those are only an hour long if you do it right. ____________________ Introduction to The Lazy Shell Editor (youtube) Super Modify RPG's Youtube Channel. |

When you warp, you need to have a "Fade in from black (Async) (or (sync))" somewhere in a script. Usually, event 65 should be ran as a "Sub-routine" script, which should be in the events part.
And yeah, if you want any direct help, I'm always on MSN and Skype, and I've been helping out Hanto with his hack over MSN, so I can try to help you there if you would like. ____________________ Introduction to The Lazy Shell Editor (youtube) Super Modify RPG's Youtube Channel. |

Do you think Super Mario RPG Hacking is a lost art? |

Posted by KP9000 These statements are true, it really isn't an "art" per-se, and the reason Super Mario World pulls in so many people is how simple it can be to make a few levels, just some determination and playtesting. And I think the same way: We won't see a "Full" hack for a while, until someone buckles down and pulls off something like Pixel did. It also depends on what can be defined as a "Full" hack. What does it mean to you, when you hear "Full hack?" |

Starting today, I'm going to try my very best to help anyone with Super Mario RPG hacking questions on Board2's IRC server, and the corresponding and currently unused channel, "#smrpg".
How to join IRC Channel #smrpg is explained here by KP9000. However, due to being a living, breathing person, I need sleep, like the rest of the world, and my time zone is the Eastern Standard Time zone. If you are not sure of what time it is where I am, then you are welcome to check This real time clock, which should display the current time in my location. I am normally on between 12:00 pm (12:00) and 11:00 PM or later (23:00+). If I am not on at that time, or if I don't respond within a few minutes of your question, then I am sorry. I will get it to you as soon as physically possible. If I'm not on there, feel free to contact me on MSN (clustercarter@hotmail) or Skype (Nin10dowii) for any questions regarding it. If I decide that I am not helping anymore, please remind me to delete this topic. Thanks. Edit, August 15, 2011. My apologies, but I don't plan on coming onto the IRC and helping. Sorry. |

giangurgolo released version 3.6 FINAL on his site some time ago, but never bothered to post it.
At the suggestion of KP9000 on the IRC Chat, I have decided to post it here for him, but let him, if he decides to come back, post the offical topic on it. Lazy Shell Version 3.6 as hosted by giangurgolo on his comcast website. He has also made documentation of the changes in this version, as well as other versions. They can be read here, just in case he did not want it to be released yet. Changes.txt On a more personal note to giangurgolo: I'm sorry if you planned on releasing this later, or were making modifications in the future, but what you said sounded sort of final, and you released this already on some other places. If you are going to release version 3.6 in a new thread, you are welcome to delete this post. |

Earlier in Lazy Shell's releases, before version 2.3, giangurgolo included a file in the releases called "Hacking Guide.doc" which outlined what he believes is the best possible way to create a hack, and what he most likely did when creating The Bob-Omb Mafia and/or OFFEREZEPS, the flagship and demonstration hacks resepectively.
However, in the most current versions of Lazy Shell, he did not include Hacking Guide.doc, and I believe it contains wonderful tips and a streamlined basic outline for any hack wanting to make a hack, as well as pointing out that some people don't want to make full hacks and just want to mess around with some stuff (being most of the hacks on here.) Below is the entire document excerpted from the file itself. However, if you want the document itself on your computer for use whenever you would like, you can download it in his website or Extract it from this .zip of Lazy Shell version 3.2b. Below is the document. Be reminded that this document is slightly out of date on features, but most of it retains to what is correct. -------------------------------------------------------------- LS complete hacking guide This guide was made with the intention of creating a complete hack. If you just want to edit monster stats, dialogues, and palettes, go ahead. Just remember to do them in the order that they appear in this guide, or it will become confusing. If you plan to create a full hack, use this ordered sequence guide to do it otherwise I guarantee it will get very very confusing and time consuming. Do not waste precious hours getting headaches and neck aches because of a poorly thought out hacking strategy. I wrote this because I hope anyone else who has an unquenchable desire to hack this game to pieces will not have wasted hours and hours trying to figure out what went where, getting frustrated, etc. Of course, you can avoid all of this by remembering that there’s always the option of not doing any of this at all. Most individuals simply want to play around with the editor for a little while, and not invest countless hours into something which offers little in return other than being an outlet for creativity. Unlike other mediums, though, remember that ROM hacking probably won’t yield any revenue. Unless there’s the rare occasion that someone might become involved with an electronic gaming studio as a result of gained experience from using this editor. It is highly recommended to use existing elements and modify those instead of creating something entirely from scratch. Base the hack off of sprites, items, and monsters that already exist in the game with the intention of modifying those items. If you want a poison-protection item for example, use Antidote Pin and rename it later after everything else is done. Use existing sprites and change their palette using the “COLOR MATH” feature as an easy suggestion. Use existing level maps, or even use one of the several dummied ones that are already drawn. Also, before all of this, take notes using the notes database feature or use a word processor to catalogue all of the levels, events, monsters and dialogues you want to create. If this seems is a waste of time you have no idea how much time you will waste trying to keep everything organized without notes, eventually being forced to either give up or start taking notes. Also consider the event memory addresses you will need, and assign each bit an event completion (example: Terrapin guards in level #4 are defeated). Even if you don’t think you will need to check it, do it anyways. There’s plenty of memory addresses available. Here’s the editing sequence I recommend you follow (there might be a better one, but this one should make the task much simpler and quicker): 1. Levels (drawing or modifying the actual level)
2. Levels (drawing the physical field)
3. Levels (exits)
4. World Maps
5. Levels (NPCs)
6. Levels (overlaps)
7. Sprites (dialogues)
8. Event Scripts
(It may not be buggy anymore.) 9. Levels (NPCs)
10. Levels (events)
11. World Maps
12. Sprites (sprites)
13. Stats (formations)
14. Event Scripts
15. Stats (monsters)
16. Stats (items, shops)
17. Battle Scripts
18. Animation Scripts
19. Sprites (spell effects)
Anything else (like the other stuff in the stats editor such as starting stats, shops, or items) you should edit after everything else. —giangurgolo --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anything written in this guide is all giangurgolo's work, and I hold no rights, credit, or claim to his work. He and Omega did a wonderful job with the editor and this guide is no exception. Last edit: Made it with lists, and more HTML thingies. Should look goodlike now. ____________________ Introduction to The Lazy Shell Editor (youtube) Super Modify RPG's Youtube Channel. |

Open Map 208, "Seaside Town, Outside, During Yardiovich"
Goto the MODS section of the level editor Click the SET MOD branch off of Tilemap Mod 2 Should produce that bug. System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: image at System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawImage(Image image, Int32 x, Int32 y) at System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawImage(Image image, Point point) at LAZYSHELL.Overlay.DrawLevelTileMods(LevelTileMods tileMods, Graphics g) at LAZYSHELL.LevelsTilemap.pictureBoxLevel_Paint(Object sender, PaintEventArgs e) --------------------------------------------------------------- As for the rest of my bugs I posted, I will be sure to look back and see if they can be found. I'm very sorry to hear that you don't have any interest, but I understand. I am, however, very happy that you will include me in the special thanks section. ____________________ Introduction to The Lazy Shell Editor (youtube) Super Modify RPG's Youtube Channel. |

I have created a YouTube Channel for Super Mario RPG tutorials and showcasing of other hacks people have floated around YouTube itself.
Due to the unfortunate killing off of Youtube Groups, we could not allow everyone in the world to post their own video of their own hack where they wanted. However, if you wish, you may send me a link to your video, or the video itself, and I can upload it to the channel, as-is. Even with just a link, I can download the video and re-upload it. (I think.) Channel can be viewed here. Do whatever you feel is necessary, since I don't believe in asking people to subscribe. It's not professional. Thanks. NPCs: Making NPCs Walk (Action Scripts) NPCs: Treasure Boxes (most of them) Event Scripts: "Hey Mario, look what you're standin' in!" MISC: Adding / Removing Party Members and OW Menu Commands. MISC: Debug Menu MINIGAMES: Minecart Minigame Overview ------------------------------------------ For the Demo mentioned in the video, MINIGAMES: Minecart Minigame Overview, click this below. http://www.mediafire.com/?4u8114hcgmvykz5 I completely forgot to mention that the Minecart maps are a bit more puzzle-based than a ride through a number of rails. The Sidescrolling level is meant to be sped through. The main idea is to give a sense of what could go wrong and what could be done in the game, as well as some errors that could be shown in game if certain conditions are met. ____________________ Introduction to The Lazy Shell Editor (youtube) Super Modify RPG's Youtube Channel. |

Posted by giangurgolo 1: Yeah, I couldn't get into it, but it was fine the next screen refresh. 2: I wanted it to be excessive so it could make boss fights easier, which was greatly rewarding, as they were tough. 3: Two-door house puzzle: It took me a while to figure out how I had to get to the shells, and I maybe recorded about 40 times overall. Invisible Bridge: Nothing too hard, but anyone without savestates would have given up, I'm sure. Secret Area: I never would have thought to look there, so it was pretty good. Around the time I beat the Megasmilax clone, I went around looking for it. 4: It was more tedious than annoying. If I could just donate coins throughout the game instead of after some bit was set. Ohterwise, going back wasn't too much of a chore, expected for an RPG. 5: I'm not too sure on most of them, but it seemed they had a lot of attack, even with my overleveled state, I ended opting for a tool-assisted Super Jump to get it as fast as possible. They probably wouldn't have been too much trouble. 6: Not really, no. The item to unclog the drain to the sewers is one I completely forgot about, until I found it in the forest, most of the time, I had ended up picking up things that I didn't know were story-important. I had a general idea of where to go, and what to do, though. 7: The "ant's" special attack animations, the rain / thundering area of Kaputsa Plains, the secret area (which for some reason, felt very serene, despite being a sixteen bit game.). Dislikes: Very little, bosses were probably a touch too hard, but managable, and you can get stuck on an infinite battle loop by fighting the Megasmilax clone, by jumping onto it. Other than that, great hack. ____________________ Introduction to The Lazy Shell Editor (youtube) Super Modify RPG's Youtube Channel. |

MONSTERS Editor
Open the Hacking Tools in MONSTERS (The wrench and hammer.) Close the Hacking Tools (X or Cancel, either works.) Try to open Hacking Tools again.
Edit, Aug 06: LEVELS editor: Mask's "Right Edge" not consistant while zoomed in. (This hasn't happened yet, so don't look too hard into it, I'll remove this part if it does happen again.) Copying and pasting any tile in the tileset editor to any location auto-pastes the tile to Tile Index 17 $11, for any layer. Can still modify tileset (Copy, paste, cut, set P1, clear P1.) while tileset editing is locked, maybe gray out Update and Auto Update checks if Lock Tileset Editing checked? Can also still update and it does auto update when locked anyway. Strange glitches happen in the LEVELS editor when zoomed in, looks something like this .GIF, and only happens when zoomed in, scrolling, editing the solidity maps, or restoring the window when it had been previously minimized. When trying to save a template of something, this error comes up.
