Like this.

Thwomp:

LDA !Empty_RAM
BNE Respawn
INC !Empty_RAM
LDA $186C,x
BNE Respawn

Don't know if that helped but I hope you feel better now

Thank YOU! It worked beautifully
! (Now I just need to find a place to make the thwomp appear at the beginning of the 3rd phase.)@Zack-san, you helped more than you think you did
.@Ladida, wow, thats news to me considering we already have a disassembling of him, sorry
.Fanatical like a Demon
True, true, especailly when one should consider most disassemblies came from all.log right? (now I just feel dumb for not have considering that before 
.)
Well only 1 problem left to fix....Mr. Thwomp.

Anyway, the song does have a few issues, not really any I can point out except parts at the beginning are a bit loud, other than that, nothing I can say. I like that little tinkering effect you have in there too, very very nice.

Hey guys, I have 2 problems bugging me regarding music porting.
1. AddmusicK won't enter some brr samples I rip with Split700, and I do use the batch file that gives them the correct loop header (AMK says they're of invalid length)
2. Is there a command that makes rarespc make mml/txt files like nintspc does? I'm pretty sure there is one, but unlike nintspc, rarespc didn't come with a FULL list of commands

Well since its a generator, I'm pretty sure you can put the code of one them (or both) in LevelASM. From what I've read in posts, some people just run it through levelinitcode.asm so they can place more than one generator AND also not use up the amount of sprites one can have in a level.

The batch I'm using is:
And the weirdest part is when I try to rip brr from spc's I've ripped before, I get the same error with the same sample I've inserted before.
Yeah I know, but it only outputs an MIDI file. Nintspc uses this:
to output txt, so I tried it replacing the nintspc with rarespc, but it didn't work. I'm pretty sure rarespc can output txt because its exactly like nintspc only for DKC spc's.
If there are better spc to mml converters please do tell
.
Code
split700 -M --force *.spc pause

Okay so I JSR this code:
into Bowser's 3rd phase (which can be seen in 1 of the posts above), as I said before it works but so many appear at once causing lag. Okay now, if I add this so only 1 can spawn:
before the LDA $186C,x it won't spawn a thwomp at all, yet if I put this code in the first phase, 1 spawns! I REALLY want the homing thwomp to spawn in the 3rd phase, can some please look into this. As my panic message from above says, ANY help at all, even if you think you're wrong or think you have nothing to say, is welcomed. Please guys, this is my LAST problem left to solve, I could really use all help possible.
Code
Thwomp: LDA $186C,x BNE Respawn JSL $02A9DE BMI Respawn TYA STA $187B LDA #$01 ; Sprite state ($14C8,x). STA $14C8,y LDA #$13 ; This the sprite number to spawn. PHX TYX STA $7FAB9E,x PLX LDA $E4,x STA $00E4,y LDA $14E0,x STA $14E0,y LDA $0F,x STA $00D8,y LDA $14D4,x STA $14D4,y PHX TYX JSL $07F7D2 JSL $0187A7 LDA #$08 STA $7FAB10,x PLX Respawn: RTS

yea that literally seems to be the problem (no sarcasm there btw, tis be true). Anyways, is there any other way to set a limit to how many sprites spawn, my best bet is that it has to be after the LDA $186C,x which I hope can be done. Tips? I tried looking in the ASM Library but there was nothing of use that I could make up of 
.EDIT: I found this in the RAM map:
Code
$7E:1938 Sprite load status within the level. Loaded sprites' indices to this table are stored in the sprite table at $7E:161A. Shooters' indices are stored to $7E:17B3. All sprites are set to #$00 when the player enters a new area, meaning they are marked to be loaded. If a sprite's value is set to anything else, it will not reload until the player exits and re-enters the area.
Does this have to do with how many sprite spawn? Another question: Only 1 Magikoopa and Fishin' Boo can spawn/be in on screen at a time, how would I change the homing thwomp's ASM file and make it have that limit as well? I'm sure that'd be a solution to have only one spawn right?

Another option: Instead JSRing the code in the 3rd phase to the Thwomp spawn, how would I go about with comparing & branching? That part still confuses me but what I'm trying to tell the code to do is this: If current phase is the 3rd one, then spawn the homing thwomp. The code for the 3rd phase is CODE_03AB64, and the thwomp spawn is Thwomp. So how would this be written? Will this technique work?

Everyone, as of now, I am proud to say, that the Bowser boss is now completed! AT LONG LAST! For those who helped me, I will pm you the boss.ips so you can see what the work in progress was all for, for those who read this thread, I will have a video on my youtube channel that ya'll can see. Thanks for everyone who stood by my side & helped me along the way (Ladida, Maxx, JackTheSpades, and Zack-san)!

I forgot to tell you that changes the battle mode to Iggy/Larry's (which is also Reznor's) so the level glitches terribly and kills mario (either way your patch worked successfully!), but is there a way to give the Fireballs their 16x16 hit radius instead of 8x8?
EDIT: Reznor uses battle mode #$C0.

You really can't change any palettes in mode 7 bosses in Lunar Magic. To do this you'll have to use a hex editor, Smallhacker also made a tool that can changes some palette in the Bowser fight (forgot which one though).

If you're interested in getting the new Version, check this.

I'll give it a try!
Well that solves that,what about the Split700?

You could check this tutorial out. It pretty much tells you how to program a sprite, but I'm sure you can get something out of it like I did.

I was planning to post this a long time ago but the video wouldn't upload. Well, for those who care to see what this was about, here it is, enjoy!

If you go into a hex editor, search for address 1AC1E. From there until address 1AC6E, you should see a group of 01s, 41s, 40s, and 00s. Those are her property tiles. They're in yxppccct format. Tweak around a little like I did and you can change the palette. Hope this helps.

You know what I think it is, I think you have some sprites that are incompatible with Reznor, I remember when I was making this, that certain sprites made them go to the top left part of the screen. What I suggest is first deleting your sprites and generators and leave the four Reznors with sprite setting 0E. If the level works, then add 1 sprite & see if it works. Repeat this process if they don't mess up. If you can't seem to get it working, I could pm you a Reznor battle room.

Is there a way to lock a hack to where it can't be opened by by rlm. I remember hearing certain hacks that can't be viewed in Lunar Magic even if one uses rlm, I also remember not being able to view MARIO, the creepypasta hack, because LM said it was in the wrong format. Any info on how to protect your hack like these examples?
