Ok, I have been looking into this for weeks now, long before I registered. But I'm stumped on this question: What's the best method to put in those pipes after I use Addmusic made easy? I cann't use patches that come with a few methods and hope to find a work around if possible! I've looked at quite a few posts, but didn't really describe what method and didn't really go into some detail.
Well, my problem is with patches: It won't work anymore when I do patch it. I didn't want this to be my first thread, but all I can say is: I hope to find the answer and get it done correctly, no matter what is needed. So far, my hack is going great, found some ways to fix some music bugs and other work arounds. I do know how to copy everything over if somehow I need to. So with this said, please help me get this solved! So that I can get it solved, and I can look back and say, that answer was so simple! Duh! Thank you for reading this.
Well, back to work. Once I get this out of the way, It's all good.
...At least for now

Use pipeinstall, in the custom blocks section. Read the new readme, not te old one.

Well, I'm confused. It said in that readme ipes.ips
You have to apply it to the ROM, or the pipe will kill you!
Is there a new version or something? I downloaded it weeks ago from here. <dang, I feel a "boy I'm stupid" coming> It wasn't the orignal ether. So does it really need that patch? When I do use it. Music no longer works. Thanks for the responce. Hope I learn from this
Edit: Well, my problem is avoiding 99% of patches or else my music will screw up or worse...
Maby, just maby, I'm missing something. I feel a "Boy that was easy" emotion coming! Once I get this done, then on to more editing!
Edit2: Ok, this is now really bugging me! Now, I just redone it a few times. Guess what? Music is not screwed up! But now, no map16 data is appearing! I did everything I've done before. Maby i'm just losing it after a long time fighting for those pipes. Ok, going to attempt this a few times. Wish me luck! I think I'm missing a step and might be over looking it, or something. There is a will and there is a way, so I will find it! I will try to resolve this, in the meantime, thank you for your time. ...I'm going to look at this later and laugh! I know I will!
Last edit: I'm not laughing yet, but ok. I found out what I was skipping, BUT now I find that the Map16 data won't load. I try to use F6 to load it, but it refuses to do so. Leaving me unable insert the data meaning I'm stuck! At least I now know my problem after looking into it. Could anyone shine some light on how I can solve this? Thanks! If theres anything I might be missing, here is all I'm doing.
1. Put everything in the same folder ,and of coarse, have a few backups.
2. Doing the CMD prompt.
3. Using both patches
4. Trying to insert map16data ,which is my problem!
5. Inserting the GFX.
Could anyone help me out? If someone helps me out I'll be most greatful!

Ok, still no answers but please note, this will be maby one of 4 questions I'd ever ask like this! Besides, it would be just one more post to show what you know. The reason I need an answer soon, is I'm having my first world tested VERY SOON and theres a few places that needs the SS Pipes in world 1!
It's just, when I try to load the map16 from the file that came with Pipeinstall, it won't try to load! Show me what I'm doing wrong so I can stop being so stupid get my hack past world 1! I've found many answers in the forums and ect. But just so confused about what I'm doing wrong with the map16 insertion part that it has me stumped!My hack is in your hands!!
P.S. This will be one of the last stupid question posts I swear.
Edit: Opps, that needed to be an edit. /sigh

you load the map 16 with F3, not F6. you save it with F9.

*Rolls on the floor laughing at his own stupidity!*
Well, I guess I got the buttons mixed up.
And thank you, now I'm just one step closer to not being stupid getting my hack out there! I knew it was something I was over looking! This will be the end of me making stupid mistakes involving overlooking things. And no, I'm not usally this dumb way. A leason here is make sure you double check what your doing and don't over look things. Thank you for your time and helping me out.
You have my thanks!
Edit: Well, I'm not going to ask my new question until I must.
I'm looking at all the threads to make sure theres a sulution to my Pipes not working and looking kind of bad. So many to look at. I swear, I've seen something about the pipes not working and how to resolve it somewhere! If you find a few threads that might solve this. Please send them to me. I'll let you know when I find what I needed. Also, I remember a Thread having a post that said the Fire flower freezing the game! I'm having that problem also. *starts to search like mad!*
Edit 2: If you happen to come across or know where the above is anwsered, please show me the thread that solves this problem! If you are able to solve this, you will get my outmost respect to solve my problem.
Another thing that might help you out, when I use Pipeinstall ...sometimes windows will say that "this is not installed correctly", sometimes freezes my game at the title, ALWAYS ports me to the upper left hand corner instantly killing me, always freezing when getting a fire flower, and lastly pipes NEVER working! The only time they worked right, was when I used them in a clean rom. I did it along time ago. So I do know what to do. Does it have to do with the patch or something I'm missing? Everything is done right.
Done this over to 30 different roms and tried everything I could think of. I redownloaded the Pipeinstall 6 differant times! I'm so close, yet, so far to getting this solved. Is there a better way than Pipeinstall? If patches are my problem, how would I go to manually install them.
I can hex edit, so at this point, WILLING to do anything to get them in my hack. Please help me, help myself. So that inreturn, may intertain many people with my fun hack! P.S. Sorry if I'm wasting you time! I'm sure to pay you back with playing this fun hack once I get it set up.
I've done enough work and to give up now is stupid. Title screen, alsome movie, music, soon to have many costum things added once I'm done with those pipes! Yes, I can add costum sprites no problem. It's just those darn SS pipes giving me hell!

Ok, the results are weird, Pipe install doesn't seem to be activating or anything. So, I tried using the hex editing way. And it worked on my clean rom! So, it seems Pipeinstall.exe won't install the code into the game! Well, now I finally got what I wanted to know.
Time to put those into my hack, and yes. I know about those exit tiles. Tested perfectly. Thanks to some well planing and effort.
Thank you Vaporeon, for trying to help. I still don't understand why Pipeinstall won't work, after redownloading it loads of times!
Well, the end of pipe madness ENDS here! Next stop, time to install those custom sprites! Much easier. *Looks a back at his old posts and starts laughing as expected*
Edit: LOL, Ok, Delete other Thread.
Ok, I'll have my problem resent here From: SS Pipes bugging the title screen!!! It's bugging me.
***Now my title screen won't appear, and the item box is bugged!
I tried the item fix patch but it didn't work, plus the game freezes when I get a Fire flower in the reserve box. What is the best way to solve this problem? Once I get this done, I can move on. Once again, The fate of Super Mario in Derek's World, Bowser's Alliance, is in your hands! *Sighs*, so close to getting this all past me...
Well, everything is perfect, except those 2 problems, but having no title which REALLY bugs me. Well, I wish everyone happy SMW hacking!
*I left this open for a bit before submiting, and looked at a few threads and I found a fix for the item box, by putting x400E8 in my ROM and entered [24 08 26 0A 48 04 0E 04]. But the title is still bugged, won't show, and when in LM, it shows up has half of it garbled, the box for 8*8 tile selector is fine.* Please help me! I looked at lots of threads! But this has me even more stumped than the pipeinstall!
Edit: I just now found out that, "that so called fix", makes the pipes freeze the game! 4 trys later, It crashes the emulator! Ok, what's going on? I'm still laughing as I watch mario get stuck in that pipe, and yet mad when he does.
I'm puzzled. Does custom music work at all with the SS pipes? Without the side effects. I'm just curious as if this is going to have to be done with a certain way, that if you don't use the right method of puting music in and then the pipes and ect. , that it won't work.
Ok, with that being said, is it possible to use Add Music Made Easy, with any pipe method or Add Music with any method?
Just want to know, if theres a trick or anything I could possibly miss. I want to do it right! Faster I learn this, the better I can become. I want to learn the trick, and to make my hack the best I can, I can't do it without the help of people like you. Yes you, Mr. I think I can help, I might be wrong. Post your reply, any info will help, *cough* except for some random post* point me to anything that addresses this problem.
With helpful people like you guys, I'm sure to get some good advice or a good answer. Just to think back, how this will look when I see this 2 months later. Hi Super future Derek! Wasn't this fun, right? I probably will be like *Facepalm* while LOLing at myself. I sure wish I could him for advice... Well, for my tester's sake, please help us out.

Ok, sorry for the long time between posts, but I am visiting my Dad for 4 weeks, then going back to my house. I found the best way, at least for me, to install those pipes. I've found that using Blocktool was the way to go!
No bugs, nothing wrong, they work like they did in my dream. LOL
Thanks to Mikeyk's SS Pipes, they are now in my hack. I was bound to find them. Sorry for me being a bit stupid. Now that I got those pipes ,some neat blocks and , sprites. I'm ready for my graphics.
I love this site for all it's tools and info. *Future Superderek* *Facepalm* LOL Was I that stupid? This was so easy once I knew the best path. With everything done, Mods, please close this. Thank you everyone.
