Question Mark Blocks v1.3.0

These have a bug when used as invisible blocks where if bonked at one of their corners it's possible to activate the block but continue moving upward. It's easily fixed though, just by zeroing the player's Y speed right before the last RTL:

what "MARIOBELOW:" code we must erase? for the giant top blocks?

they aren't compatible with lx5 power up pack saddly the power ups look pretty glitchy. if you want to use it with the power-ups put this code:
below this code inside the asm of the question blocks line 169 and now it would fixed the graphics issue.
don't blame me if this isn't woking for you i just tested it with the giant blocks.
also and for the propeller suit power up just erase the 2 last lines of the new code it should look like this this last part of code is just for the propellersuit to make it work to the other ones just use the first one

Inserting the enemy question block (the one which comes with the files) with the newest update of GPS results in an error wherein the program reports a missing define for !sprite_extra_byte1 (presumably 1 through 4 considering that they only ever appear in one line in the whole script). This error has only occurred for me upon using the newest version of GPS 1.4.21 so I'm not sure why or how it's suddenly happening but, like, just so you know.

Edit: NinjaBoy found a fix! Replace the code:
LDA #!ExtraByte1
STA !sprite_extra_byte_1,x
LDA #!ExtraByte2
STA !sprite_extra_byte_2,x
LDA #!ExtraByte3
STA !sprite_extra_byte_3,x
LDA #!ExtraByte4
STA !sprite_extra_byte_4,x

With the following:
LDA #!ExtraByte1
STA !extra_byte_1,x
LDA #!ExtraByte2
STA !extra_byte_2,x
LDA #!ExtraByte3
STA !extra_byte_3,x
LDA #!ExtraByte4
STA !extra_byte_4,x

In the newest version of GPS (1.4.21), the names of these built-in defines were changed for some reason. Changing this code in the necessary blocks (those including the extra byte defines at the top) will solve the error issue.

On an unrelated note, these blocks work quite well once inserted properly. Very customizable and versatile. An issue I've found is that sometimes they'll appear to be invisible when certain sprites are set to spawn from them, but that might've been an error on my part in all honesty. Regardless, good block!

There doesn't seem to be a setting for the !sprite_extra_bytex defines.

Also in Super Mario 3D Land!

These look really good. Can you make the 16x48 ? Block, like seen in SM3DW?

Tested with: GPS 1.4.1, Lunar Magic 3.03, SA-1 1.31 and ZMZ 1.08.

Worked fine. There was only one typo in one of the blocks that made i t unable to be assembled, but I fixed it. Approved.

Ok, thanks. I must have done something wrong they just act like 130 tiles and don't move or spawn anything. I read the read me, but I must be missing something.

Nope, just insert the blocks directly Map16 tiles. In fact, you should since the block is still affected by item memory, just that the block itself doesn't set item memory.

if I dont need the "item_memory_dependent" option, do I still need object tool?

Awesome, thanks!

How can I spawn a sprite with bit 0 set to 1? The thing you put in "extension" when you insert a sprite

cool

They seem to work. That took a lot of time to test, but I didn't find any issues except for some blocks in the examples folder using %move_spawn_relative_to_block instead of the correct %move_spawn_relative. Also a typo in your block list, it said 30V instead if 30B. I corrected both in the submission.

I didn't mean to be rude, it's just that I'm not a fan of those graphics.

Keep in mind that if you want to use these blocks, you have to use the latest version of GPS due to it featuring the necessary routines.

Thank you, I am not the best artist. The "harsh" critism pretty much applies to it.

Those 32x32 block graphics are...
ugly

I have got an important note if you use custom power ups: The initial sprite state has to be set to 1 from then, not 8 like the vanilla power ups do.
Also, you have to replace the #$10 at LDA #$3E : STA $15AC,x on the bottom with #$3E, else the power up gets pushed out of the wall.

@Epic_Manky: Have you set the second value of "IsCustom:" to an odd number? If not then I'll look into it.

So...how do I use this, exactly? I'm trying to spawn a custom sprite, (an ice flower, more specifically) but the block either spawns a shelless Koopa when Mario is big.

@toad64: It's a patch which allows you to create custom object. The main purpose with the blocks is the item memory i.e. the game knows in the level whether the block and sometimes sprite were activated or not.

What ObjecTool do.

I love how it uses the ! Blocks and how it turns the Yoshi Eggs into something other than just one ups. Good work!
