Fixed it for ya. This is right at the same level as the rest of your works, judging from these screenshots.

Hey, somebody has to say it, right?

A'ight, just to reiterate, what's the current plan regarding in-ROM level editing, again?

Whereby "in-ROM" means "changing the game itself", as opposed to editing saveram, ofcourse. Just in case you misunderstand it as a built-in level editor.

"Or"? That doesn't sound too promising on accuracy.

Treeki's tilemap hack makes a level editor piss-easy to make. If you ignore converting the original object-based levels, the only hurdle would be graphic sets.

way to be a terrible coder
Sarcasm aside, even ABXD could do it. This is me being surprised.

Two words that go for a lot of things: test more.

Do correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the trouble start because of sharing the code?

I like the running joke in that one, if only because of the punchline.

Supporting e-Levels stored in the ROM itself would go against the whole point of Treeki's tilemap hack:

From one fairly complex level format, things were reduced to one of the simplest, easiest to use formats imaginable -- a simple tilemap. In effect, Treeki's hack removed several processing steps from the level loader. Instead of taking this complicated format and processing it into a tilemap in RAM, you just expand the very same tilemap data directly into that same area. This is when loading is finished, and quite possibly it loads even faster.

To take that step and make it load from another level format would defeat the purpose, no matter what exactly the e-Level format is.

The way it is now, with the game loading raw, LZ77-compressed tilemaps, is the simplest you can get while supporting anything in the level's tileset (plains, underground, castle, etc). Object sets are no longer an issue.

The only problem, if you want to call it that, is that no matter the source format, you'd have to remake every level yourself, for lack of a converter (be it from native or e-Level). I for one would not call it a problem, as this pretty much forces some degree of originality.

(edit: that's why I stopped working on that native-to-raw converter, incidentally.)

Seriously, the only part that hasn't been touched is the sprite data, for which an object list is, perhaps ironically, one of the best methods available.
tl;dr: forget about elevels

Now there's something completely unexpected. I wonder what effect this'll have on the scene.

System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'Lunar Compress.dll': Nie można odnaleźć określonego modułu. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
Apparently, it can't load the Lunar Compress DLL. If only the rest of the error was in English, we'd know why it can't.

Perhaps you can translate that bit yourself and post it here?

<AB-Guest> How do I make my own Super Mario bros. 3 levels and mapps
<Kawa> 1) Get the right ROM
<Kawa> 2) Get a copy of a good SMB3 level editor. Take your pick.
<Kawa> 3) Use it
<AB-Guest> What is a SMB3
<Kawa> Super Mario Bros 3, ofcourse!
<paul> did he just ask what I think he just asked?
<KP9000> he sure did
Some parts left out for clarity.

Copy: More likely, they'd be complete garbage as the game tries to use SMB3 object data as if it were LZ77-compressed raw tilemaps. It's the same basic effect as when you open a jpeg image in Notepad or something silly like that.

14159: What Treeki did was very simple and fairly easy to reproduce. You can hardly even call it a "custom level loader". If he doesn't come back, I got his notes and the skill to do it.
