BBHack - Earthbound Zero Hacking Tool



I know Earthbound Zero isn't nearly as popular as the other two games in this series (especially Earthbound), but I've always wanted to see more than simple graphic/text hacks of this game. So, I made this editor, and I intend to continue working on it for quite some time. Annoyed with how laggy map/tile editing was in the past with JHack, I made sure to make this editor better in that regard. Of course, it has _some_ lag, but there are huge improvements.

If anyone has ever wanted to make a full hack of EB0, this editor will soon allow you to do just that without messing around with a hex editor. For now, it's just a simple map & tile editor, but hey, map editing is one of the most important parts of a full length hack.

Features:

  • Map Editor - Change sector properties like palette and tilesets, as well as the map itself

  • 64x64 Tile Editor - A.K.A. chunk editor. Use this to edit the composition of 16x16 tiles that map chunks are made from, including their palettes, the tiles' sub-palettes, etc.


If anyone finds any bugs, has requests for features, or has discovered more data in the EB0 ROM, please let me know!

@Googie: Fixed. Use the new download link.

Sorry about that, it was my fault - I didn't compile it to be compatible with earlier versions of Java.

Also, glad to see someone who's interested

Heh, I meant just to re-download it. I simply updated the old download link. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

And yes, as a matter of fact, this editor does work with every single playable area in the game (even including the room with the blue light aura when you die, AKA the death scene). The maps are actually stored as one giant map rather than being separate, and while in-game, you can only view map areas which have the same palette as the one you're in (it sounds hard to work with, but it's actually not).

Fixed the image embed to actually use the image url rather then an url to their page. :/

Also, the game is called Mother, I don't get why people call it Earthbound 0. :V

Er, thanks? I changed the image back... it was working fine until you made it link to their page, which made it not show up.

We call it Earthbound 0 because Earthbound was the name for the official localized version. So if you want to be that stupid and nit-picky you'd be calling Mother 1 and 2 Earthbound and Earthbound. Mother is the Japanese version - this tool will not work with the Japanese version in the future.

Your comment seems pretty worthless off-topic and to be honest...

Well I only posted to notify about the image url change. I only thought I'd add my view to the thread.

To be honest, I don't care that you edited it back, but the reason I edited it was that the embed does not load for me as is. If the change made it not show up for you then I think that would be a good sign to find an image hosting service that is more compatible.

Alright then, that's odd, but I just went ahead and used another host

Yeah works fine now! Also, if you have not done so, you may want to submit this tool to ROMhacking.net.

Do you know if it's easy to update your submission and edit the description after you've submitted it? Just wondering if it's one of those one-time submission deals.
