Yes, and its already been done...  :=x:

[Hacker347]

ASM? How do I do it? I want to make that thing off MP2 before you fight the Alpha Blogg.

[Parabox]

thanks for that color, Hacker ¬.¬

Are you really that ignorant. -_-;
The words ASM and Alpha Blogg are in different colors then the rest of the text, thus DK said...

thanks for that color, Hacker ¬.¬

Not to mention this ENTIRE conversation is a complete derail. :P

Now for your question.  We were talking about ASM guides earlier in this topic.  Heck its on THIS page.  Try reading one of those and if you can't make sense of it, you can ask questions about it.

see i was trying to do this because i wanted to free up the space jump so i could make like a gravity boost item like in prime 2

:lol: I want to make the same thing as rolando.  :lol:

Yes, and its already been done...  :=x:

and im also guessing that i would need to make custom PLM for each of these door bubbles am i right?

[Hacker347]

Does anyone know how to recreate the beams?

[RealRed]

Assembly.

[Hacker347]

what? :pwuh: anyways rolando pm'd me and told me how.

I'm making a hack and  i just want to know how do you make it so the wrecked ship BG won't screw up or scroll on the landing site

[Cpearl015]

Hello, nice to be on this page and forum, my English is not very good I hope I understand perfectly, well I'm doing my hack: Super Metroid Phazar, but I paused for a few reasons that are my concerns with your smile. My idea is to unite  Crateria with Wrecked Ship, I managed to change the graphics of Wrecked equal to those of Crateria, but the background becomes a "x" or pieces of doors, how do I make the background like the other rooms of Crateria? I not understand and I hope I can help ...

[begrimed]

Cpearl015: There are 2 ways I can think of right away that can fix your problem, and both are easy.

Method 1

1.) Make a back-up copy of your ROM.

2.) Go to a Crateria room with a working background (start off with a cave background for now).

3.) Go to "Edit > Pointers" in SMILE. Look at the #### for "BG_Data" - write it down or memorize it. Close the pointers window.

4.) Go to a Crateria room with an "x or pieces of doors" background.

5.) Go to "Edit > Pointers" again, and replace the BG_Data with the one you got from a working background. Click "NO" when SMILE asks if you want to copy the data or leave it! If you click "Yes", your pretty much asking for a broken ROM.

Method 2.

1.) Change the BG_Data pointer to "0000" in one of your "x or door pieces" rooms.

2.) Go to "Tools > Background Editor > BG/Layer 2 SCROLLING" and change "Use BG_Data pointer" into "Layer 2 background (custom)"

3.) Go to "Tools > Background Editor > ADD Layer 2 background" - this will cover the background with power bomb door pieces. This is normal.

4.) Right-click your mouse and drag it to select a big chunk of air tiles, then press the "F1" key. Erase all of the power bomb door tiles by replacing them with air tiles. The background should be solid black.

5.) Now make your own background by using whatever tiles you want on layer 2. Just make sure your tile data doesn't end up higher than what's allowed. You can see your level data usage by saving your room. It tells you the number at the top-left of the window. "###/###"

That's the general gist of it. Play around with it on a back-up copy of your ROM and you'll figure it out eventually. Hope that helps.

Is it possible to copy a tile within the tileset.  For example, I have some tiles, and I want a number of copies within the tileset, but using different palettes, so can I copy the tile from the existing one, or do I just build the new one, changing the plaette it uses?

[GF_Kennon]

You mean the Copy paste tile in the graphics editor, just erm, look where you drag the tiles to make a normal tile, its just under it, click copy, then click a free spot, then click paste then save ROM

Thanks.  And :facepalm-smilie-here:

1 quick question: what is the pointer for the landing room to have the cave BG?

i want it for my hack:[spoiler] SUPER METROID: FREEZER [/spoiler]

[personitis]

You have to cancel the landing site BG first I believe. Change the FX2 pointer to "0000" and change the background to custom (Tools - Background Editor - Layer2/Scrolling). And that's how you kill the scrolling BG and the landing site glitch. You can actually thank Blood for teaching me that.

[Hacker347]

Ok, I'll try it no promises it will work 100%

Edit how do i cancel the landing site BG?

[Silver Skree]

HE JUST FUKKEN TOLD YOU DFSDFSDFSDFSDFSDFS  :FURY:

[Zhs2]

Do not do this. Avoid the stupidity of Hacker347 and just get on with your life. It will be better for the both of us, non?

[Cpearl015]

Another doubt in the room of Torizo where you acquire  the bombs in this room in smile appears one part of color purple or blue part that can not be used, and I've seen hacks that if they could use, like Super Metroid RBO Insane, how can I I use that part of the room too?

[Hacker347]

I might be able to help but i need a clear explanation. one part of color purple or blue part that can not be used is not a clear enough explanation. i need a picture or something.

For once, I'm gonna agree with hacker... that is pretty vague. If you're talking about the tileset used, those purple tiles are in the current tileset used by that room. If you're talking about the background, that too is in the tileset but if you're trying to use it else where I believe it's a pointer.

Am I anywhere near your question? :pwuh:
