| Description: | This patch has been floating around since the creation of An SMW Central Production, and I feel that now is a great time to add it to the database proper for the convenience of anyone wishing to use it. What this patch does is, as the name implies, allow you to have multiple music tracks playing on the main Overworld map. This can be very useful if multiple world themes are present, since one track may not fit them all. To set songs, scroll to the bottom of the .asm file and edit the table. Each entry ($XX) represents the song for that particular 32x32 box on the map. |

I made a simple tool for editing the music table, you can download it here.I made a better (more versatile) tool: online | download.
Can these two be fixed to work together?

I don't know why that happens though :L I have "faster mario on OW" and "widescreen overworld" Patch.
That is probably due to the fact that you are moving on a map that uses ExGFX without using star roads or pipes. I don't think the patch has much to do with it.
It seems to be strange when used with the patch in the link above. Can anyone please tell me the solution?
I tried rewriting asm myself, but it didn't work.

Here, you can use this diagram to help you find the coordinates for Chocolate Island (in fact, if anyone here is on the fence about using this patch, this diagram should help you understand the coordinates better).
It's definitively a useful patch if you want not just graphical variety in the main map (and also because not every music is fitting if you have multiple themes on the main map).
The usage is a bit difficult, though, but that's the side effect from the lack of an overworld editor which supports this. Just remember to read the position in the bottom left corner in Lunar Magic to get the correct position (it has to be a multiple of four i.e. the last digit is either 0, 4, 8 or C so round the value down if it isn't the correct digit).
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this. (But never use it when teamed up.)
Tested with: Asar v1.71; SA-1 v1.32; Lunar Magic 3.04; snes9x 1.60
Moved the hijack so it's compatible with the OW Speed Changer and made the free RAM a define.
doesn't mention the adress in his comment
It's $13E6 btw
>doesn't make it a define, doesn't mention it in readme or patch description
literally worst guy
First you need paint.net(and basic knowledge how to use it), take screenshot of OW editor(1x zoom), open it up and crop so that it only shows main map. Now open OWmusic.asm, scroll down and take screenshot of the musicTBL table and crop it so that it only shows Lines 117 to 134(;x0 x4... to last line with db $XX..).
Then do following:
1. Switch back to tab with cropped OW, copy it
2. Switch back to tab with cropped OWmusic.asm
3. Make new layer, paste cropped OW there
4. It asks if you want to make picture larger(or something like that), chose no
5. Select resize tool, now resize the cropped OW picture to fit to the cropped pic of OWmusic.asm
6. Open layer properties on layer with the cropped OW, change mode to multiply and opacity to your liking(you want to see both OW and the OWmusic.asm pictures at same time).
End results should look like something like this(Im using stock OW as an example):

Now the table on OWmusic.asm should make a lot more sense.
Now say for example, you want to change chocolate island to play different music from the rest of the OW? now you just look at this picture:
http://puu.sh/wE9h6/009c67645a.png
I highlighted the chocolate island, you need to change all of the "db $XX"'s in OWmusic.asm(asm file, not picture) that are highlighted in red to the song you want it to change to(and the outside regions db's should be the main OW song), make the changes and save&insert the asm file.
Now test it and the music now should change when you are in the chocolate island. This method might not be 100% accurate, but it worked for me and should be easier than pure trial&error.
Also, for the users that have issues with the patch, I worked on a table and a readme so people can know exactly what to do and where to do, so it is a great addition to people who want to use this patch.
