[SM][ASM/GFX] Custom Enemy Tile Map Issues

[xisdense]

Attempting to make a custom metroid egg enemy. Having problems trying to draw its tilemap, it's a 3x3-tile graphic.

Code Select Expand

EggFrame1:
DW $0009
DB $F8,$01,$F8,$00,$31
DB $00,$00,$F8,$01,$31
DB $08,$00,$F8,$02,$31
DB $F8,$01,$00,$10,$31
DB $00,$00,$00,$11,$31
DB $08,$00,$00,$12,$31
DB $F8,$01,$08,$20,$31
DB $00,$00,$08,$21,$31
DB $08,$00,$08,$22,$31


This is how the tiles are arranged viewed in TLP.


This is the result, the bottom row isn't being drawn. I can't get those 3 tiles to draw no matter how/where I place them, even if I only draw them in place of the top or middle row.

I also don't completely understand the last (5th) byte of the tile setup or what a name table is. The only thing I can find to really go off is the "Enemy Tilemaps Rundown by Sadiztyk Fish with much help from Kejardon."

Any help would be tremendously appreciated, this is super frustrating. Thanks!

I would guess you have too small gfx size specfied in enemy headers so not all of it gets loaded to vram.
Use emulator with a debugger(or at least tile/oam viewer) to check what's actually happening ingame.

Description of spritemap format can be found here https://patrickjohnston.org/bank/81#f879F

edit: i think name table rtf refers to is just highest bit of the tile number

[EDIT]
Guessing enemy graphics can only be certain banks. I moved the graphics to a different bank and it works fine now.
