Better Creating/Eating Block Snakes v1.1

Just a heads up that if you are using the RHR baserom, you may have to unpatch 'block_snake_fix.asm" (included in the rom) for this to work [it's also noted in the block_snake_fix.asm ways to correct this, but that's beyond my understanding]. Thanks Fernap!

Would be an amazing sprite but unfortunately it's prone to break from the intended path and even crash the game. It happens when spawning and despawning it quickly so I guess a sort of autoscroll would help.
I hope this problem can be fixed because as is, this sprite is very limited

How to place pivot blocks correctly? I have snake no longer respond to them (eating them instead of turning), after it made 1-2 turns.

I love this sprite, but i have one tiny issue; i can't find the variable to make it automatically go without touching a brown block; there is a section that tells you what the variable does. but no where to place it :/


not sure how to change the state variable, since it isnt
or

i don't know use this gps

@LemonStir
You can change : !SFX = $04 to $00
To mute the snake's sound in bettersnake.asm

I can't figure out how to make this sprite work though, I wish there was a tutorial.

This was my first custom sprite I've installed. I didn't really see anywhere in bettersnakes.asm how it teaches you how to install these blocks, but reading how to use Pixi, it wasn't too difficult to find out.

My only issue with the sprite is that when it's in motion, it disables my jump sound effect, and makes my spin jump sound effect janky sounding. Before and after the snake motion it's totally fine. (I still gave this a 5 star rating because what options it opens up for level making is a much bigger payoff than losing some sounds. I just disabled the sounds the blocks made, and it did fix my jumping sounds.)

What is "snakespawner.asm" used for?

Works as intended. Great update to a great sprite.

I feel like it would be better to insert blocks with GPS instead of the way it is right now, for a simple reason: the graphics.
Right now, I have no way (to my knowledge) of duplicating the "go left", "go right",... blocks, which means I only have one graphic tile possible for them. But the "go left" tile sends a different direction depending on the direction you come from (it's more a "go 90° clockwise/counter-clockwise").

So either blocks, or have a "go up", "go down", "go left", "go right" that are not dependant of the direction you come from.

I was wondering where I would find something like this.

Important note: the block snake itself, while using hybrid defines, does not work with SA-1 (graphical block generation bug after an approximate part of the level)
Upon re-examination, it does work with PIXI 1.1 or higher.

The Eating Block Don't Want to work The Create block work fine.

This sprite is sex, very comfy and great to use rather than the standard SMW version.

Just pointing out something here:


AMK dislikes $1DFA. Infact, when other SFX play together with the sfx this sprite generates, it will fuck up (as in, you hear glitched sfx playing). I'm suggesting to change to following:


In my case, this fixed the issue I was having.

This aside, beautiful sprite 5/5

now available on st141.

This is an awesome and highly useful sprite compared to the original. My only complaint is that it's kind of glitchy with the sound it makes overwrites all over sounds, like when you spin jump, creating a weird combination of the two. But otherwise, very nice job!
