Ship landing site [Super Metroid]

[VDubs]

How would one go about changing where Samus' ship lands on Zebes? I've edited the landing site, and the room is smaller than the original, so it doesn't work correctly.

A common trick people use is to use a patch to skip the Intro and Ceres Station entirely, including the initial descent into Zebes' atmosphere. That way, you can move the ship wherever you want. Just make sure you also change the position of Crateria save station 00 to match wherever you put the ship.

Actually changing the ship's movement means edits to it's ASM, albeit probably small hex tweaks.

The landing site landing sequence is actually a save station setup with special coding, though it can be changed quite easily.

Assuming you're using SMILE RF:
  go to Tools > Special Editors > Save Station editor.

 

  1. Select Save $12
  2. Edit this value to match the number of the horizontal scroll box where you placed your ship.
      (start counting from left, first box is 0000, second is 0100. Normally, the ship's in 5th scroll box, so 0400, etc...)
If you don't have scroll boxes enabled, go to Preferences > View > Layers > Scrolls

Other values are better left unchanged unless you know what you're doing (for editing save stations, see this reference)

That did the trick!  Thanks for your help!
