And then refuse to let anybody else play with it. :grin:

Scyzer: "Ooh, you want some candy!"
MetConst: "Gimme, gimme, gimme!"
Scyzer: "Mine!  All mine!  Mwahahaha!"

Just slopping this up here.
[spoiler]
It's only a crude and crappy mockup right now, but maybe someday it'll be a thing...[/spoiler]

[Quietus]

We can dream.  Then we can enjoy a bucket-load of crappy edits, followed by a handful of astounding ones that everybody'll want to use. :^_^:

Every once in a while I like to show my friends how Samus's tiles are arranged in the rom just to prove some point about how lucky we are we aren't doing rom hacking as complicated as redrawing Samus's tiles.  With that in mind, godspeed to you if you decide to go through with it.

[snarfblam]

Ah, nice to see this finally happening.

[SirAileron]

Holy shit. That mess was half the reason I swerved away from completing that Dark Suit tile hack. The other half being that there's only one set of gfx for all of Samus's other poses, so it'd be all Dark Suit or none at all. :neutral:

[spoiler="This is all I ended up doing."]

[Zhs2]

That actually looks fairly awesome. Why not base a hack around it after you've put that much effort into it? (Unless that's just a mock-up, in which case mostly my mistake because you could totally import those.)

[SirAileron]

The camera-facing pose actually made it in, but that's because those tiles were actually neatly arranged. The side pose is a mock-up. But I still have all the reference sceenshots I scoured the net for to make some more poses for it.

That sexy Dark Suit :O

[Crashtour99]

Ya know, I may know of a way to have the animation routine for Samus use different gfx depending on which suit you have equipped.  The only problem is that it would eat up substantial amounts of space for the extra gfx, even if you optimized it by using the same bottom half gfx for Samus between all suits (with creative palleting).  Between 4 to 8 hijacks to small snippets of code, and making a bunch of new DMA tables, then directing the DMA pointers to all the new gfx (gfx would be the hardest part  :heheh: ).

but why would that be a problem when we can create new banks in the rom as needed? :pwuh:
unless you're talking about existing hacks using it?

[SirAileron]

Adding a whole secondary profile gfx set would be a dream come true, especially since the power/varia suits technically have different armoring. Granted, I have no idea how the game calls up Samus's tiles, and that endeavor sounds like almost as much work as creating a clone engine with cleaner graphics calls.

I'm really liking having an extra line of blocks visible

[Quietus]

Have you tried a full run through of the game, just to see if there are any adverse effects?  If you don't find any, then there's no reason not to use the extra lines if you want to create a custom HUD.  Since I rarely, if ever, look at the minimap, it's all good to me. :^_^:

[Lunaria]

Great, now all we need is someone to add in fusion suit and we can go make super fusion troid!

[Quietus]

A sudden infusion
of graphics transfusion
from people 'pro' Fusion
can create a profusion
of total confusion
while seeking Diffusion.

Go to it, MetConst. :cool:

[Digital_Mantra]

That's awesome, a whole extra row of tiles to be seen. It's a game changer (more level design!).

[Quietus]

It would be quite strange to play some of the older hacks too, since a lot of rooms would have just been left with flat ceilings, or misaligned tiles, because they wouldn't normally be visible. :^_^:

[Black Falcon]

Did someone say Fusion?
[spoiler]
A B.O.X. gone mad!

[spoiler=FAQ]
Q: Will you release it?
A: Yes, but later

Q: This isn't at all like the original! Why?
A: Because there are no ceiling grips in Super Metroid, which requires a lot of work to implement. Had to find a workaround to make the fight still interesting and somewhat fair (it is not really that balanced right now still)

Q: Why is its bomb only going into one direction and why can you shoot it?
A: I haven't coded a projectile for it yet, the bomb it is shooting right now is just a placeholder, taken from the Torizo.

Q: So it will have that awesome bomb that creates two fire blast running across the room?
A: Probably not, due to SNES hardware limitations they would probably not displayed correctly. I will think of something else for it instead.

Q: Will there be a second form that shoots missiles?
A: No.

Q: Will you make custom music for it?
A: Probably not.

Q: But you said you suck at making new enemies and bosses?
A: I owe a lot to Scyzer for explaining the special enemy format to me.
    Without her help this wouldn't have been possible at all!

Q: When will you release it?
A: Not sure, we'll see.

IT'S HAPPENING!

Idea for Kraid's room.

[spoiler]

[/spoiler]

The Hi-Jump is behind the real one, and an E-Tank is at the door.

You enter the lower area by running through the left gap, and you'll end up on the right side like in Super Mario 2.

Yes, but even just normal super metroid has some weird things. For example I never knew that for some reason Crocs room has shot blocks in that line. Like, just randomly a shotblock every now and again. The weird thing though, is that in smile they don't appear as shotblocks at all. They're normal solid tiles, but in game you can see them get shot.

I often hear it when you shoot diagonally in his room when going out the top door. Do you think that made them find the wrap around glitch in his room?

[Quietus]

No.  As far as I know the wraparound glitch was solely used in the landing site until its mechanics were figured out.  You need a room that's at least two scroll areas wide, and it only works opening a door on the left-hand side by shooting off the right-hand side.  I was one of the ones who trawled through all of the rooms testing its usefulness.  Crocomire's room was one of the more useful ones, but there were quite a few. I made a vid of one as well:
