Last view: 2702 days 		I'm up for a Finnish localization. I translated SNES9X Completely back a few months ago, and by that I mean every single text string in it

So yeah, I'm up for it.

Incredible job..! Can't wait to see someone hack the game.

So yeah, you could modify the graphics but keep it in the 2bpp limit.

Can't wait, though. My birthday is 24th of December so it'll make a great birthday gift %D

And exactly why couldn't you have just stuck with VB?

VB sucks.

Damn straight. You need a million runtimes to run a single simple app.

Last view: 2702 days 		Here's the deal, I open Yoshi's Island with Eggvine, start editing level 1-1 and attempt to change the first flower row to object 18, a Stone block.
I save and run the ROM, but nothing happens after the level name is displayed. Yoshi just stands there with the black background.
What's going on.

Last view: 2702 days 		Well, I remember asking for YI data once. This is what I got:
Posted by Cellar Dweller +
At one time there was a bunch of activity around YI hacking, so there is a bunch of stuff in the archive.

YI data thread
A failed editor attempt
A slightly less failed (but still failed) editor attempt
The only YI editor to make it to release
Some stuff that Chickenlump saved back in the overclocked days (MSWord format, but I'm sure there is a Mac program to view them.)


Some of the links are broken but easily fixable.

Last view: 2702 days 		Yeah. Thought I'd make my contribution to the hacking community, so here's the SML2 Overworld format, oven-fresh. Have a great time hacking.

The main overworld is built from Chunks. One Chunk is 1024 bytes, and is composed from 32 rows, each containing 32 bytes. One byte is one tile.
0x37000 - 0x373FF | Chunk 1
0x37400 - 0x377FF | Chunk 2
0x37800 - 0x37BFF | Chunk 3
0x37C00 - 0x37FFF | Chunk 4
For extra reference, please see this.

Besides the main overworld, there are the submaps. Submaps are stored like chunks, but there are only 20 rows, each one having 32 tiles but only 20 shown onscreen, since the submaps never involve scrolling. (Again, for extra reference, please see this.)
The submaps are stored in locations listed below.
0x3B000 - 0x3B23F | Pumpkin Zone
0x3B240 - 0x2B47F | Tree Zone
0x3B480 - 0x3B6BF | Space Zone
0x3B6C0 - 0x3B8FF | Macro Zone
0x3B900 - 0x3BB3F | Turtle Zone
0x3BB40 - 0x3BD7F | Mario Zone
0x3BD80 - 0x3BFBF | Wario's Castle
0x43000 - 0x4323F | Minigame Hill

The minigames are also stored like submaps.
0x43240 - 0x4347F | The 30 Coin Game
0x43480 - 0x436BF | The 50 Coin Game
0x436C0 - 0x438FF | The 200 Coin Game
0x43900 - 0x43B3F | The 999 Coin Game
0x47800 - 0x47A3F | Conveyor Game
0x47A40 - 0x47C7F | Rat Game


"But how do I know what tile is what?"
All the tiles are inside tilesets. To view tilesets, you need a tile viewing program like Tile Molester or Tile Layer PRO. The tilesets are located in the locations listed below. Be sure to have canvas set to 16 x 16 tiles!
0x34800 - 0x357FF | Overworld Tileset
0x36000 - 0x36FFF | Macro Zone Tilest
0x38500 - 0x387FF | Pumpkin Zone Tileset (only used after completion)
0x38800 - 0x397FF | Pumpkin Zone Tileset (includes also the Minigame Hill Tileset)
0x3A000 - 0x3AFFF | Tree Zone Tileset
0x40800 - 0x417FF | Space Zone Tileset
0x42000 - 0x42FFF | Mario's Castle Tileset
0x44800 - 0x457FF | Mario Zone Tileset
0x46000 - 0x46FFF | Wario's Castle Tileset
0x64000 - 0x64FFF | Coin Games Tileset
0x65000 - 0x65FFF | End-of-level Bonus Game Tileset

However, there's a catch. When you've chosen the tile you want to have in the overworld, you'd normally get its coordinate from the tileset (FA Being tile 11 from row 16). The thing is, rows don't start from 0, but 8. Columns are normally from 0 to F, but rows go 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. It isn't all that complicated. For extra reference, please see this.

EDIT: Looks like I found something else, too. The Title screen is stored in 0x159E0 - 0x15C1F.
EDIT 2: And the "Choose a File" level is stored in 0x30A52 - 0x30C91.
EDIT 3: The HUD at the bottom of the screen is located in 0x7EA - 0x7FD.
EDIT 4: And the Coin Wall is located at 0x32492 - 0x326D1.

EDIT 5: Gathered some notes:

Graphics locations
0x141E5 - 0x159E4 | Title Graphics
0x18000 - 0x197FF | Mario
0x19800 - 0x1AD7F | Tree Zone enemies and Boss
0x1C000 - 0x1F84F | Level tiles
0x30C92 - 0x31491 | Coin Wall sprites
0x31492 - 0x32491 | Coin Wall tiles

0x34000 - 0x347FF | Overworld sprites

0x74000 - 0x757FF | Turtle Zone level tiles
0x75800 - 0x7667F | Turtle Zone enemies and Boss
0x76680 - 0x77E7F | Animated tiles
0x78000 - 0x78BFF | Space Zone level tiles
0x78C00 - 0x799FF | Wario's Castle level tiles
0x79A00 - 0x7A36F | Hippo Zone enemies and some Space Zone enemies
0x7A370 - 0x7A87F | Space Zone Boss

0x7C000 - 0x7DDFF | Pumpkin Zone level tiles
0x7DE00 - 0x6EFFF | Pumpking Zone enemies and Boss


So how about some new MarCas now?

EDIT: There are some flaws in my notes. Please contact me if you are up to hacking SML2.

3. There's a tool called SNESSOR95 that is known from its ability to tinker around with SNES Samples. Check it out.


As for the other questions, sorry. I'm all out :X

With that data (YI data thread), even though it's EXTREMELY unorganized, I think I could make something out of it.

Hooray \o/
I really like where this is going, seriously, but uh, can anyone help me with my actual problem :>

sorry for jacking your thread, but the idea of a new YI editor, or even updated, would corrupt YI hacking. more and more noobs are gonna jump on it, and fuck it up. its gonna end up just like SMW hacking did. but it would still be cool.

and for your problem, its prolly a bad rom.

Well, it is 1.0, (U) and has the [!] seal in it.
Does it depend on the header?

I moved the flower grounds around a bit and it works fine, but when I CHANGE anything it goes nuts...

Great job, Treeki. I'ma search for the road/path data now :>

EDIT: You can't multiselect tiles from the Map view D:
This makes water editing very awkward.
DOUBLE EDIT: Whether you choose Yes or No in the "This may not be a SML2 ROM", it always loads it.
