Custom "Shooting" Power-ups

Make sure you insert EVERYTHING correctly, power-up sprites, uberASM, extended sprites, and make sure there's no freeRAM conflict. SpriteToShoot is used by respective power-up (configured by sprite's extra property byte in .cfg) to allow shooting the projectile. By default, for example, hammer power-up has extra prop. byte set to 0, so it'll use the first entry in SpriteToShoot table, which by default is db $00+!ExtendedOffset. That means it'll use custom extended sprite 0 from the sprite list.

RussianMan, I'm just not sure what value I need to use underneath the SpriteToShoot section. I've tried several things but can't get it to work. What am I missing?
SpriteToShoot:
db $00+!ExtendedOffset
db $01+!ExtendedOffset
db $02+!ExtendedOffset
db $03+!ExtendedOffset
db $04+!ExtendedOffset

Im a massive noob at this, but how do you get it to shoot the projectiles? I put the sprite numbers in the SpritesToShoot table but It still wont shoot anything. also, how do you tell it what ExGFX to use for the sprites?

great stuff!

Is it compatible with DKCR status bar if the item box is turned off?

No and no.

Is it compatible with the minimalist status bar and perfect powerdown patches?

I see, it would be cool tho, I always found the smw's original powerdown a bit too punishing in hacks.
But these are great as they are, I would love to see a cloud flower powerup from Mario galaxy 2 added in this pack too in a update, I think the clouds are probably not much hard to code since they are just a stationary platform.

Help! I can't make the hammer suit shoot hammers! What am I doing wrong?

This...
Is heaven...

AMAZING!

Great!

!YOU'RE AMAZING!i want us to be friends with SMS central

i don't think so, since player is put in a big state, so they become small on hit in any case. i'll look into it.

Hello, is it possible to use this in conjunction with the "better powerdown patch" as in when Mario gets hit he return to his big Mario form instead of small?

Tested with Asar v1.71, BSNES v87 (BizHawk), LM 3.11, PIXI v1.2.14, SA-1 v1.32, UberASM Tool 1.4.
Great work. There's a lot needed for setting these powerups up properly, but once you do so it all functions flawlessly.

make sure you installed included uberasm (and read readme plz)

I inserted the boomerang powerup sprite and extended sprite, but ingame, it doesn't do anything. It just acts as a mushroom. I was wondering if I did something wrong? (I'm new to inserting sprites)

I like these

Now yes, I have just fixed, Thanks you

Is there anyway to configure a certain sprite to not get damaged by this?

Phine. But i won't re-record gifs to show that off.



Did you make sure you've installed uberASM codes that came with it? If so, also make sure you set correct extended sprites under SpriteToShoot table from ShootExPower.asm



No. Power-up is a mere switch to activate powers, just like vanilla power-ups. They're handled through the uberASM.

When having the powerup, do they consume sprite slot the entire time until the player takes damage?

When I try to get the ice flower, don't allow me throw the iceball. There's some problem with that? I checked the instructions of that and nothing to work

Can you please show score sprites after Mario touches the power up?

you can't, for now.

How do i make this storable in the item reserve box?

yes, if you use uberasm in different levels or make it global (Gamemode 14)

can you use the powerup from a different level to a new level?

does that mean I forgot to include them? if so, whoops.

Nice update. Sorry for the delay, as this should be moderated faster. On a side note, added the other powerup cfgs (shuriken and ice flower).

Sweet, I look forward to using this. Seems a lot more flexible then alternatives.

that's in the future.

So you can lift the ice blocks, or that's in the future?

Did a few minor corrections. First, now iceballs generate hit sound on enemy hit (kill sound defines were previously unused).
Second, I removed ExtendedBlockInteraction routine, because it wasn't used by any extended sprite (those that use block interaction use different method that I thought is better).
And lastly I added "make ice blocks carryable" to planned updates list, I wanted to add it initially but I didn't because... no reason.

Forgot to include SpawnMinorExtended routine for ice block. Those who don't have it redownload!

Preety sweet alternative to the other power up patch!

SHURIKENS!

Score sprite spawning was broken on both LoROM and SA-1. On LoROM, it was a simple fix because the routine you call expects a sprite in X, so all that has to be done is move Y into X before calling it, then restore both of them.

SA-1 is a little weird. The remap moves some sprite tables ($9E, $D8, and $E4) out of the direct page. To avoid having to move or hijack every single routine which references them, it places pointers to the correct index in the table at $B4, $CC, and $EE. The score sprite routine uses both $D8 and $E4, so I had to calculate and store the correct pointers in $CC and $EE. As I said, I'm not sure if there's a better way to do it, but it's at least better than copying over the whole routine.

I knew about score sprites not spawning correctly issue, but nobody answered me how to fix it when I asked.
For $19 and $0DC2 - yeah, I forgot to fix it, but submission was under moderation already, so... I mean I could've submitted the fix, but I didn't wanted to disturb moderator. :shrug:

This is a very good alternative for those who want custom powerups without inserting anything too complicated. Adding new powerups is very easy for those who have basic ASM knowledge.

I should note that I fixed three things during the moderation. The item box contents were being incorrectly set (the values for $19 and $0DC2 don't match up), so I made it use a lookup table. I also fixed score sprites from killing enemies (though I'm not sure if it's the best way for SA-1), an issue which I missed during the previous moderation and so will not count as a rejection reason for this update. Finally, I reconstructed the correct graphics for the boomerang from the GIF, so now the included graphics file will work out of the box.

Fixed most of issues pointed in removal log. Not sure what means "the boomerang is in the wrong place", is it like sprite tile's angle? As for "Item Box Special" patches support thing: I've considered that for next update, after this submission gets accepted.

LX5 has already made custom power ups. Including hammer and boomerang.

Can you remove it?
