thanks but I figured that out about 5 minutes after I posted I just couldn't get back on the internet for some strange reason or I would have edited my post but thanks anyway

dark_samus

ok I edited missile graphics but now I need HUD icons or the missile/super/power bomb counters I found them in 2bpp GB I edited them and saved the rom but it doesn't change the graphics in the game anyone know where they are I would appreciate some help thanks

dark_samus

sorry I haven't posted in a while but I have a life and when I'm not out doing something with friends I'm working on my hack I've gotten a lot done I have recently had an idea to make a snowy area I'm starting work on a tile set today for the area if any one already has a set please contact me so that I can put that in asap thanks

Parabox

And you sort of triple posted and half-begged for/insinuated you'd rather not make a tileset.
Sort of.

The sort of is to make it seem like I'm not minimoddig. Sort of.

well I wasn't begging I was just saying that it would be faster if anyone already had a tile set but I've already got most of it done but I had a question how do I expand my graphics so that I have more space to work with because I had some good ideas but not enough room to do anything with them if anyone could help I would appreciate it greatly I'll search for an already made tutorial also

Have you checked the Docs section on the Main Site?  Squishy has a guide that may interest you (repointing graphics).

If not, you could use an existing patch, such as the one from DSO.  Check the patches page, again on the main site.

Corruptor

Nice title edit, Dark Samus, by the way, how are you supposed to edit that...Tile layer pro?

Quietus

Yes.  squishy has a guide in the Docs section on the Main Site.

It doesn't include the Mode 7 part, but I believe Red is working on a guide for that at the moment.

dark_samus

sorry I haven't posted in awhile busy with school and things still working on the hack. I've checked out squishy's guide and tried the patch, but I'm not sure what it did. The CRE gfx (what I want to expand) hasn't changed, please help!! Btw corruptor in the graphics editor in SMILE it says extract special and you can edit them

I assume the guide/patch you're talking about is expanded the CRE.

Well, it's not going to immediately do, well, anything from the perspective of somebody like you. What it does is changed where the GFX is saved in the rom, which allows you to freely edit tiles without (much) fear of overwriting important data.

Alternatively, dicks!

dark_samus

so is there any way I could expand the CRE so I can add more tiles with out erasing the originals? thanks in advance :)

MetroidMst

You didn't just...

If you just applied the patch in question you just did exactly what you wanted to do. It expanded the CRE without erasing the original tiles. The actual CRE sheet doesn't get bigger, but you can now edit the few tiles that are "unused" relatively safely.

dark_samus

what I'm saying is I want a bigger CRE sheet so I can add more tiles I've already exausted all unused tiles and still need more

Qactis

what you ask is impossible, try to rely more on the scenery than the CRE

Quietus

When you say you've exhausted the entire sheet, do you mean that you've used every available tile space, without duplicates (or tiles that can be flipped), and have still run out of space?  If so, then it's very rare, and you should

dark_samus

I don't think we're talking about the same thing

Quietus

That's why we're asking you to clarify what you mean.  We can't help you if you don't provide us with clear, accurate information.  Pictures would probably help too.

dark_samus

I'm talking about the gfx file that you edit is it possible to expand this?
