Piranha Plants and Venus Fire Traps v1.1

Where in the code would I fix that? I would rather have them act traditionally. (yes it is red)

Are the plants red or green? If red, then that's normal.

LIked it but for whatever reason the plants that spit once still come out of the pipe when mario is near or even ontop of it. I have even tried using a fresh notepad document nd it still happens, strangeky only for the ones that shoot once.

I just noticed that the offsets for the piranha plants and masking graphic are off by a few pixels. To fix that, collectively replace the contents of the 'HeadXOffset:', 'HeadYOffset:', StemXOffset:', and 'StemYOffset:' tables with this:



And collectively replace the contents of the 'CoverUpXOffset:' and 'CoverUpYOffset:' tables with this:



If there's anything wrong, let me know!

properties of fireball velocity?
it can be configured?

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:



and add this under it:



Thanks to Kevin for the simple fix!

If you want a version of these sprites that utilizes extra bytes, try this version by Atari2.0: https://bin.smwcentral.net/u/25222/venus.zip

Conveniently, it uses only one .json file which includes a bunch of pre-made settings.

I'd love to use this, but there are wayyyyy too many files and my brain just can't handle it.

The name is kinda outdated...

Venus Fire Traps are now known as simply Fire Piranha Plants.

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!

People, the gfx page is glitched, someone can please update?, thx

GFX:Here.

GFX:Here.

I will send a GFX.

Cool!

The GFX is glitchy, there's no bin in the .zip.

The GFX of of the original is glitchy.

They do the function correctly, but the GFX of it is glitchy. What can I do? QUICK HELP I'M WORKING IN MY HACK

Made several tests using PIXI 1.2.6. Everything worked fine on my part, so... accepted.

very cool!

For people having trouble with the Venus Fire Traps not shooting fireballs 100% correctly, here's the fix (at least for now unless this is updated later) that was brought to my attention by Darolac and the fix by Telinc1 so credit him if you want someone to credit.

Look for these two lines of code near the bottom of piranha_venus_all.asm:
STA !extended_y_speed,y
STA !extended_x_speed,y

change the first one to "STA !extended_x_speed,y" and the second to "STA !extended_y_speed,y" without the quotation marks.

alguien podria enviarme un tutorial de como poder instalarlo!!

This is great~! However, it seems that I'm having the same problem cnpkg is having. The Venus Fire Traps are shooting backwards. How do I fix it?

And how to fix it?

Pixi 1.1.0 had borked defines for !extended_y and !extended_x speed, so the sprite was coded like this:

LDY $02
LDA FireXSpeeds,y
LDY $00
STA !extended_y_speed,y
LDY $02
LDA FireYSpeeds,y
LDY $00
STA !extended_x_speed,y

Now that pixi 1.2.1 fixes the defines, this sprite has to be fixed as well. I also recommend porting that whole piece of code to use SpawnExtended.

I'm having a problem: when a venus fire trap looks down, it fires backwards. Plz help me!!! 😧😧😧

*when Mario looks around
- Oh shit!!!!!

There's this table in the ASM file:



These values are in YXPPCCCT format.

How do I make the stems green for those with red heads?
It's a stupid question, I know...

I wasn't included in original...

I'm kinda new but did you forget to include the ExGFX?

This is one of the sprites which can really profit from Extra Bytes. In fact, since imamelia is the creator of Tessera, a sprite tool supporting extra bytes, it isn't too much of a surprise that the extra property bytes are used for substitues for it.

So many sprites that handled by 1 ASM file saved my time! Those are really usefull sprites. Classic Piranha Plant disassembly can be usefull for those who don't want to use patch to fix original sprite. There are a few issues thought
1) If you "hug" pipe with sideway piranha/venus, you'll always loose yoshi, and venus will always come out of pipe. If it's not red, it won't appear ONLY when you standing on pipe with it.
2) Issue mentioned by LX5 (I actually didn't tested it, but I didn't really added anything, so \'_'/)
3) They appear out of turn block? That looks strange, I mean it won't be seen in normal gameplay and it looks like it's from SMB, but... why?

What's changed:
Now they are PIXI compatible with SA-1 support. (I'm pretty sure it was compatible at the beginning, but still, shared routines and SA-1 support are cool)

What is this about incsrc subroutinedefsx.asm? It's not included..
Do I actually need it or nah and if I don't, why is it written in the .asm file as a file to include in the insertion process?

Very useful!

I found a minor bug in the code.

It doesn't update the RAM $1779, so if you modify it with another extended sprite it may go behind layer 1 and won't hurt Mario.

The .cfg files should be should probably be labeled for what type of plant they represent, rather than just as pva(insert number here).cfg. The current naming makes it too confusing for the average user to determine which sprite is which and find the one they want.
