Click on the ghost house in the toolbar, then you will be able to move the paths around. To get new tiles, click on the Blue switch palace in the toolbar. The window that appears is the tile selector for the 16x16 tiles.

This may be a dumb question, but how do I use sprites from different graphics indexes in the same level without some of them getting glitchy? I want a spiny (SP4=02) and a volcano plant (SP4=09) in the same level.

Make a copy of GFX02, open it in YY-CHR, open GFX09, copy the volcano lotus tiles, and paste them in the same relative spot in the GFX02 copy. Then, just insert it as ExGFX.

Thanks, I'll try that. But will that affect every level throughout the ROM, or just that one level?
Too bad nobody's found a way to make this possible without ExGFX.

Just that level, unless you put that ExGFX file in every level.
Although another way could be to put both together by remapping their tiles.

Originally posted by imameliaHow do I change colors 6D and 7D of the overworld palette? I think those are the two colors used for the level tile dots (am I correct?), but for some reason, they won't change in the palette editor. If I wanted to, for example, use green and blue instead of yellow and red, would that be possible? Are any of the colors in the second half of the overworld palette possible to change? (Also, tiles 1D6-1DF, 1E6, 1E7, and 1E9-1EF are unused and therefore okay to edit, right?
While we're on the subject of overworld tile editing, is there any way to change the green Mario paths? As in the actual path tiles themselves?
Noobish Noobsicle: Um, that didn't answer my question. I know how to move the paths around on the map, but is there any way to actually change the layout of the paths themselves? For example, say I wanted a path that goes out in all four diagonal directions. Or say I wasn't planning on using the path that curves upward to the right. Could I make that tile a level tile rather than a Mario path? (I don't plan on doing either of those things; those are just examples.)
Also, there is still the first, and more important, half of my question.

Okay, so new Mario paths are out of the question. What about the palette change?

Since the colours used for the level tiles are animated, I'm guessing they are hardcoded, meaning you'd have to use a hex editor to change them. However, I have no idea where that data may be stored...

When I change the back area color in the "Change Palettes in Header" dialog box, the changes don't appear in the ROM when I play the level. (It doesn't affect gameplay, but it is unsightly.)

Did you click "Save RGBs to ROM" in the palette window? That could be why the changes don't appear.

Well, that works, except now that becomes the back area color for all the levels instead of just that one.

It means that you didn't enable a custom palette. You click palette -> enable custom palette, and then change it.

Damnit, now I have a sprite that refuses to show up. I've tried moving it around, removing all the other sprites (even though I don't think it was a sprite limit issue - the level is only like 1/3 done). Is there something about jumping piranha plants I don't know?

What do you mean exactly? All you need to do is make a decent hack containing good level design. You can make your hack even better by adding some custom things, and or some ASM.

There are many tutorials on ASM. You can find a basic tutorial here, and a more advanced tutorial here. Good luck!

If you want to know how to play SMW hacks, check the FAQ for "IPS files".

I've read the "Tip of the day" on the top of the site, and I'm wondering, what IS level mode 1E, and, how do you use it?
