Does anyone know how to yet? Also, I saw the layer two smash for spiked pillars said: "May Glitch." What could that possibly do?

Artsy: I'm not that good at ASM, but from what I've heard, having more than one midway point would be possible, but require more complicated ASM than I know how to do. You could do what I plan to do: make every stage begin with a cutscene, then scatter blocks throughout the level that set a RAM address and change the screen exit settings for the cutscene.

Thanks, at least now I know that multiple midway points is possible. If anyone finds out how to do it, please tell me, I NEED it for my hack I'm making.

Well, acually two problems.

1, The boss will not throw hammers. I've checked and double check all of the of the values, and they should work. Here's what it's like in the file.

BONE_OR_HAMMER = $04 ; 06 = Boss throws bones 04 = boss throws hammers. These have different ways of moving- the bones move straight and the hammers move in a arch. You must remember hammers only work with certain (there are many) sprite GFX. Bones only work with castle sprite GFX.

HITPOINTS = $09 ; How much health the boss has
FINALSTAND = $02 ; How many hitpoints he is at when he activates a power (drop enemies on Mario or something here!)
FINALTYPE = $02 ; What to do for the final stand. 00 = Activate the POW, 01 = Switch the ON/OFF switch, 02 = Roar and throw a bunch of hammers
POWLENGTH = $28 ; How long a pow lasts. This is not in seconds- FF is a 16 second POW. (If you don't know hex, this just means it's okay to put a number under 99 here.
HAMMERFREQ = $03 ; hammer frequency. 00 = none, 01 = two per 4 seconds or so, 02 = 3 per four seconds or so
DIRECTION = $00 ; Initally $00 = facing left, $40 = facing right.
WALKING = $01 ; 00 = won't walk, 01 = will walk.
ENDOPTION = $00 ; When boss is beaten: 00 = end level, 01 = warp using the screen exit, like when you go through a door

Directly copy & pasted from the file.

2, when I try to use it, the GFX get garbled. The problem is, when facing right, the tiles flip, but that makes the custoff.

Like this:

Facing left:

1234
1234
5678
5678

Facing right:
2143
2143
6587
6587

when it should be
4321
4321
8765
8765

Oh, yeah, this is version 1.4, gotten from Maxx's website/blog/whatever.

How do I fix these problems?

Thnx.

I am currently trying to create the SMB3 diagonal Thwomps, but I seem to have run into some trouble... For some reason, the falling state doesn't set the X speed properly... I believe that the problem is somewhere among the lines marked with red.

Here's the code for Blocktool:



Howver, you have to convert it into a .bin file before inserting it. To do so, copy the code (quote my post to copy it properly) and paste it into a text file. Next, get trasm.exe (comes with Sprite Tool) and drag the text file over it. Now 3 files will be created, but you'll only need the .bin file, which can now be inserted.
