FUCK

I broke rustworks tiletable

[Black Falcon]

Thanks so much GF_Kennon!
I'll definitly use it in my hack! :huzzah: :portal:

Yay for coll little tricks. I'd say wait for this to be uploaded to the documents section untill you read it though. It's rather messy atm.

That enemy thing is a good idea, but you completely missed a VERY good thing you can do. You can actually make enemies invisible by changing their special, thus removing any evidence of the shaking.
I'd do it slightly different though, with some ASM, instead of using more enemies. Just change the Wall Jump code, chuck in a few checks, and you could use a BTS that prevents wall jumping. So say if you made a wall with Solid blocks BTS 01, you wouldn't be able to wall jump off those blocks, but could off any others.

EDIT: Because I was bored, I went and did that ASM. I DIDN'T test it cause I couldn't be bothered, but I'm pretty sure it should work. Any walls with a solid block of BTS $10 will prevent you wall jumping, hopefully...

EDIT AGAIN: Ok this code doesn't work =O. I know one reason is that the method I've used only works on blocks underneath you. But as for the crash when entering walljump pose, I don't know why that is. Might be easier to just have code run when touching a solid block  with BTS set a bit, and clear upon not touching it, then just have the wall jump code check that bit.

I *could* also make it only work after picking up an item (wall jump boots, anyone?), but that would be a blatant rip-off SMR, so I won't do that at all.

I decided to make a patch that repoints tileset 1-17. Read the README file included.

This patch is for [JU] roms only

This patch repoints tileset 1-17 (GFX, Palette, and table tiles) making each a unique tileset; meaning you can edit tileset 1, without tileset 2 being changed. It also allows you to make much larger tilesets than you could normally (without overwriting data).

This patch uses $E6:0000-$F5:C000. so if you have anything stored there, it will more than likely be re-written.

Seriously, read the readme file.

Red Brinstar "HD"



I modified the graphics for use in Project Base because the palettes I was trying for red Brinstar just weren't looking the way I wanted them to. The attached .GFX file is from tilesets 8/9, but I blanked out every tile except the ones I edited (so you don't gotta hunt them down). Just open this, and the GFX file for your hack in TLP at the same time and drag/drop whichever graphics you want over the existing ones. No palette file needed; they work for the default palette, and most likely for any new palettes you might have given the tileset already. Have fun or soemthing.

That ASM immediately closed my emulator when I pushed away from the wall (when samus entered the "about the wall jump" pose). So yea... and I don't think I used xkas wrong this time cause my ROM was working fine.

Flamestar666: I attempted your patch, but all I got was an error.  I used an unedited, unheadered ROM.  After patching, all I got was the PAL ROM error, and couldn't open it in SMILE.

Last I checked, SMILE couldn't open any rom other than [JU] rom. This patch is for [JU] only

[Quietus]

Yes, I know that.  I'm using the (JU) version.  It's unedited, unheadered, and hasn't been touched in any way.  I apply your patch, and when I try to open it in SMILE, I get the PAL error, and it doesn't open.

[GF_Kennon]

Pic says all, Your patch destroyed part of the SNES header.

[Cadarot]

EDIT: All fixed now.

I apologize for any inconvenience my patch has caused

[Hacker347]

What about  clear water, no map, or box edited thingy?

Edit: Well I do have a few things, Thank Grime for one and some one else too.

>_< Red light warning: ya might want to take those down if they aren't yours. There's strict rule around here for that kind of stuff (and isn't the new beam gfx already up in the archives?).

[Hacker347]

.....Why?..... :pwuh:...and no i didnt see it up there..

I haven't tried it yet, but this is going to come in so very handy.   :grin:  Thanks!

DSO already did this, for all the tilesets, and he only expands the rom 5 banks, but uses space in bank $B8 (most of it actually). Link is here

[Quietus]

I'd like to be clear on this before I use.

DSO's repoints 15 sets, and Flamestar666's repoints 17.
Banks are irrelevant to me, as I'm very unlikely to use any others.

When we say 'expanding tilesets', does this mean that I can replace a load of the xxxx blocks in the tileset now without risking overwriting stuff?

Yup.

EDIT: Quietus gives me too many opportunities to make single word posts.

I'm aware DSO already made one like that, mine is different though.
other than leaving all of the normal banks (by normal, i mean banks not added by the user), everything is a linear point, meaning that starting at bank $E6, you'll see the Tile Tables, the Palettes, and the Scenery GFX in that order, repeating 17 times.
This also makes tilesets that share tiletable data and GFX data no longer shared (meaning you change graphic set 1 without affecting graphic set 2 at all).
Also, DSO did not include the Ceres sets in his repoint.

I double checked that, and turns out I was mistaken =O Sorry for any confusion peoples.

It's all good.
I actually updates the readme file and the patch you can look for it a few posts back

[personitis]

I probably should've asked for this like, 20 posts ago but does anyone have the raw ASM file for the MP2 blocks BlackFlacon posted? I'm seeing health drop like a rock and I wanna modify it (and yes, I know how the BTS work).

[Hacker347]

Why? The energy dropping like a rock is more fun and more of a challenge.

Who's to say I don't want to make it drop faster? :heheh:

No, seriously.
