Submission Details

Name: Generic boss HP meter
Author: HammerBrother
Added:
Tool: PIXI
Type: Generator
Dynamic: No
Disassembly: No
Includes GFX: Yes
Description: This generator displays a value either as a bar, numbers or both on the HUD. This can be used to display the boss's HP. The advantage of this is:

*Unlike other hacks like Brutal Mario, their's smallest piece of the bar is an 8x8 tile, which is blocky. This new one's smallest piece is a pixel, allowing smaller damage.

*A new bar that displays HP in percent, thanks to the multiplication and division routine.

*The numerical counter can display up to 4 digits (9,999 HP) on the HUD, unlike several boss that came with a numerical health display, they can only have up to 2 digits.

Comes with an example boss: Giant Masked Koopa.

See readme for details.

Update: fix a bug that the bar drawing routine still writes 0/8 tile even when there are 8 or less empty pixels.

Note: This is outdated. Please use the enemy HP meter patch instead.

Unfortunately, you don't. You must update to 1.41 to use the newer stuff.

Please GHB, the next time when you upload a sprite try to make it more easy to insert, If you make a sprite you don't need a uber asm, try to use the less number of resources, Maybe for you is confortable but for users is very annoying. Also for this sprite you can use extra property to save a lot of ".asm".

It's actually based on "Super Mario Odyssey". But with a 1-pixel small piece of fill rather than 8-pixel piece.

This boss bar reminds me of boss bar in Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Secret Files.

Yes, but make sure you set the two-byte hp ("!SBSize" define) to $01. Since the SMB3 status bar uses 1 byte per 8x8 tile. Also, beware that it uses exgraphic, compared to the SMB3 HUD.

Does this work with other Status bars. Like the SMB3 Status Bar?
