Tip: If it's possible to carry a tileset-specific sprite (such as a Buzzy Beetle or Bob-omb) through a pipe, make sure it has the correct graphics and sprite palette on the other side!

Details for Piranha Plants and Venus Fire Traps v1.1
SMW Sprites - Piranha Plants and Venus Fire Traps v1.1
This is a Piranha Plant or Venus Fire Trap...BUT! it can act like any one you choose. Green, red, short-stemmed, sideways, upside-down, spitting 1 fireball, spitting 2 fireballs, you name it. (Well, okay, it doesn't include novelties like the Shower Venus or whatever it's called.) All you have to do is change the extra property bytes. You can basically get 48 different sprites out of this thing, although only 24 .cfg files are included because of the extra bit.
Oh, and I also included a disassembly of the original Piranha Plant. (Both of them are combined with the extra bit.) The graphics routine isn't really disassembled, though; I did code that part myself.
Note that the GFX come with PIXI.
GAMMA V UPDATE: Renamed the .cfg files based on the plants they represent since pva(number).cfg would not be helpful for users who don't know much about extra property bytes
RUSSIANMAN UPDATE: Now PIXI compatible
KNIGHT OF TIME UPDATE: Now has the GFX and a palette file included.
changelog:
v1.1
-----
Fixed extended_y/x_speed usage. It wasn't really a bug, Pixi had these defines swapped back in 1.1.0.
If you wanna fix the bug where sometimes if the fire piranha plants spit fireballs, the fireballs or other ext. sprites in the vicinity go behind L1 and don't hurt Mario, find this:
Conveniently, it uses only one .json file which includes a bunch of pre-made settings. Also, the masking for the horiz. piranha plants is off by one pixel. If you wanna fix that, find the table 'CoverUpXOffset:' and under it, change the values $00 and $10 to $01 and $11.
The GFX and palette files provided are correct, so accepted. I also added a .palmask file, to avoid overwriting all the colors when importing the palette.
Next time you include a palette file in a submission/update, remember the palmask!
