Submission Details

Name: Blockreator v1.3
Authors: Kipernal, Major Flare
Added:
Version History: View
Operating System: Windows
Platforms: SNES
Games: SMW
Source Available: Yes
Featured: Yes
Website: None
Description: Kipernal's Blockreator that allows you to simply create custom blocks to be inserted with GPS.
The blocks can be created by selected certain conditions and events to occur when the player or a sprite touches the block.
See the readme for details.

v1.2:
- Added the wallrun offsets, as well as fixed various bugs with labels and certain codes not working properly.

v1.3 (Major Flare):
- Added several events, such as a proper give coins routine, Switch Palace tests, ON/OFF Flip status, and more;
- Added some code optimizations: wherever possible, switched "LDA #$00 : STA $RAM" to "STZ $RAM";
- Better SA-1 conversion - now, it converts sprite tables properly. Also, the resultant code is SA-1 hybrid instead of SA-1 restricted.

when i exported the code, i placed the file in GPS but when i loaded the game it didn't run the script...
i am a idiot Link
Really good it have many options to choose from

This program lets you make a block to do certain things when Mario or sprites interact with it.

It's not in the program.

That's because you do not use asar to insert custom blocks; you need Gopher Popcorn Stew.

OK, so I created a block to increase Mario's speed and inserted it into Lunar Magic with GPS. But how do I access it in Lunar Magic?

it also allows non ASMers to generate code!

20/10 tool

Nice.

Can someone make a tool for sprites?
I want that tool to make sprites to pixi.

Very useful tool to insert properly.

Needs to be updated to use the %sprite_block_position() routine as some interactions currently don't work properly. For example, "Destroy block on contact with x sprite" instead destroys the block at Mario's position.

The ability to copy/paste actions and copy actions in a label to other labels would be a good addition. For anything other than simple blocks, manually entering each action for several labels can be tedious, and was ultimately the reason I started learning to edit code directly (not that that's a bad thing).

Great tool otherwise.

Dyzen is something similar for sprites, but it's still WIP

Can you make this tool for sprites?

Very handy!

I get some really strange stuff happening trying to insert these blocks with GPS.

I tried (among other things):

Sprite Vertical ->
If sprite type equal $80 -> Shatter block | kill sprite
- end group

What I expeted was the block and the key getting destroyed on collision.
What happens is random blocks getting destroyed on collision. (mostly the ground) and the key staying intact.

Is this tool not compatible with GPS anymore or did I do something wrong?
Redstonetech181 Link
I was wandering how to add points. I checked in the Score tab but there wasn't an option to add points. Could you please show me the ASM code to add points? I'm a bit new to ASM, but all I need is the syntax. Also, the top of a block is solid regardless if I put "make this block solid" on the "mario above event".

It goes with frames. In hex, 1E frames are roughly 1 second, so use Window Calculator to help you.

This a great tool for people like me who don't know a shred of ASM! In all seriousness though, this is quite a cool and handy tool. Although, is there a way to make something happen without one of the events happening?
gdrdagamer Link
This tool is nice and all, but where's the download to BlockTool Super Deluxe?

hi
TheBiob From older version: Blockreator v1.2 Link
Yeah, I saw some of your stuff in showoff, looks great from what I saw so far. Anyway, if no one is showing any progress by the time GIEPY is fully standardized I would just start doing the asm stuff with the tool.

No clue when that'll be though, all I hear is "soon™"


I also want to add stuff I'm planning on adding to GPS with the next update. Though I'm not entirely sure when that'll be either, probably once 1.60 is accepted assuming I stop being lazy.
Deakula From older version: Blockreator v1.2 Link
Ah. Cool cool. I've been slowly doing some work with it myself such as various UI rearrangements/tweaks, optimizations, and ease of use features like undo/redo, and the ability to save blocks to a custom format that can be imported. If anybody is working on some ASM stuff for it, I'd love to get in contact because ASM is sort of where I fall flat with it.
TheBiob From older version: Blockreator v1.2 Link
Not really. I think someone was doing something with it? like making blocks hybrid instead of the sa-1 option and some other stuff but it's been a while since I've heard from that, dunno if that's still being worked on.

Also, once GIEPY releases this'll probably have to be updated to support it, I'm not quite sure if it even properly supports PIXI at the moment. Might've been part of what was being worked on.

But other than that, I'm not aware of anyone actively working on this.
Deakula From older version: Blockreator v1.2 Link
Is development on this program still active?

TheBiob From older version: Blockreator v1.2 Link
It should just have an option to import really simple custom code blocks tbh

I have other stuff to do though so unless someone else makes it it's probably not going to happen.
Fostelif From older version: Blockreator v1.2 Link
Then at least it should have a function for looking at Lunar Magic ExAnimation variables.
TheBiob From older version: Blockreator v1.2 Link
Add one.

Really though, this is meant for people that don't know asm but want to make simple blocks, if you want to actually work with memory you shouldn't use this kind of tool or at least know enough about how it works to modify it so it works imo
Fostelif From older version: Blockreator v1.2 Link
I really, really wish this had a function for "If RAM address is..."

Is this like Blocktool? Can I insert custom blocks into my ROM hack with this?

Is there any Sprite Creator?

I found a crash that if you:

1)Search for a routine located on bottom right of window

2)press "add"

Its because the list changes and "dis-selects" the item on the list.

Perhaps you didn't add a check on "SelCount" (counts how many items on the list are selected) if the number of items selected = 0, then don't add code.

EDIT: found another glitch: the spawn sprite routine doesn't spawn sprites in the correct position when placed in vertical levels other than the top-left subscreen boundary, so add this code:
Code
	LDA $5B				;\Check if vertical level = true
	AND #$01			;|
	BEQ +				;/
	LDA $9B				;\Fix the $99 and $9B from glitching up if placed
	STA $00				;|other than top-left subscreen boundaries of vertical
	LDA $99				;|levels!!!!! (barrowed from the map16 change routine of GPS).
	STA $9B				;|(this switch values $99 <-> $9B, since the subscreen boundaries
	LDA $00				;|are now sideways)
	STA $99				;|
+					;/

before the code that position the sprite into the block.

Edit: nevermind, use this after every time you use the map16 change routine.
