Separate Luigi Graphics v3

I'm new to creation and I wanted more than 1 character in my kaizo, could you teach me a tutorial for changing characters?

Can someone explain what has happened? I tried installing the patch as instructed in the readme (I think) and I get this message.

luigi.asm:24: warning: (Wfeature_deprecated): DEPRECATION NOTIFICATION: Feature "header" is deprecated and will be REMOVED in the future. Please update your code to conform to newer styles. Suggested work around: Remove command, unnecessary... [header] One or more warnings were detected while assembling the patch. Do you want insert the patch anyway? (Default: yes)

When trying to play the rom, it freezes at the Nintendo logo.

I don't quite understand the reason, but when I apply the patch, Luigi player 2 is not changed, he continues as Mario, there is one, but I use the powerup patch, it is not compatible with him and That's why he doesn't separate the Mario and Luigi models?

How would I do that?

Is it possible to extract the GFX files from a rom that already uses this patch? I have a hack I made a while back and I've since lost the character sheet with all the sprites I created, so I'm wondering if it's possible to extract them both directly from the rom itself so that way I can actually preserve them. I tried extracting in Lunar Magic but no dice, all it did was give me a weird jumbled version of GFX32, where it had some of the sprites I made alongside Mario's default sprites

Garatchten, to help clarify smwln's comment, in order to change Luigi's extended tiles (GFX00.bin), Small Luigi's blushing tiles (GFX22.bin), or Super Luigi's blushing tiles (GFX24.bin) you need to look at this section right at the top of luigi.asm:



Notice those values after !gfx00Luigi, !gfx22Luigi, and !gfx24Luigi? They're not only the same number as the variable, but they match the GFX##.bin file that is being loaded for Luigi to use. Changing to something like or would mean that GFX0B.bin or ExGFX99.bin would be used instead!

So what's happening by default without editing any code in this patch is that Vanilla SMW Mario's blush tiles are being drawn overtop of whatever graphics you're using for Luigi, resulting in the "scuffed" graphics.

If you'd like to use different graphics for Luigi's GFX00, GFX22, or GFX24 you need to change the values to match the graphics number you want to use. Most folks will probably accomplish this by using ExGFX slots (but you could also use GFX00-31 if you wanted)! So, if you'd like to make custom blushing graphics for Luigi:

1) Make copies of GFX22.bin and GFX24.bin
2) Rename those copied .bin files to something like "ExGFX80.bin" and "ExGFX81.bin" respectively
3) Open your newly named files and alter Vanilla SMW Mario's blushing tiles to look how you want for Luigi
4) Make sure you insert your new ExGFX files into your ROM via Lunar Magic
5) Inside luigi.asm edit the "; Replacement GFX files for Luigi" lines to something like this:



6) Apply the patch with Asar and you should now have Luigi using tiles for his blush that work for you! You can do the same thing for Luigi's GFX00.bin slot.

One problem I am running into tho is that if you are playing as Luigi in a level that uses Super GFX Bypass, the default 00, 22, and 24 GFX.bin files will be used instead of the ones you change in luigi.asm. So if you want your Luigi extended, small blush, or super blush graphics to look right for P2 you apparently have to have them in a level that does not use Super GFX Bypass (unless there's a way to fix that, any help there would be incredibly welcome!)

I hope this helps folks. I was having trouble with this for a few days and finally figured it out! (except for the Super GFX Bypass problem)

You can insert separate Luigi blushing sprites by editing the "Replacement GFX files for Luigi" section in Luigi.asm.

Just want to inform you guys that when Princess Toadstool kisses Luigi, he blushes but it's the blush graphic for Mario. Located in GFX24.bin, this blush graphic is still used for both bros. Luigi needs his own for it to not looked scuffed.

It's fine now, someway i did.

somehow, after I made the patch, when I run the rom on snes9x, after the nintendo intro, there is a noise of yoshi spitting, and then... error.
does anyone know how to fix or avoid.
they've always worked before, why this just now man?

Is there a way to change GFX00 and all those other ones for Luigi as well? I'm not good with asm coding and stuff so idk how to do it if there is a way to

Say, if I add a third player graphic with this, will the player use either Mario or Luigi's palette or will another existing one in-game? Can we even make new palettes for this third player?

'Replacement GFX files for Luigi' option doesn't work when GFX bypass is on.

Thank you

When I apply this patch to my ROM layer 3 messages won't show, getting me softlocked on the intro screen and unable to read messages in message boxes

Yes, but the 8x8 tiles will still shared on both players.

Is it compatible with Mario DMA-er?

It is compatible with 32x32 Player Tilemap 1.5??

Fantastic. I'm just getting into this and was wondering why Luigi sneezes when he shot a fireball. Now I know 🐢

Thanks for the update! Per the base this update builds on it's not the most efficient patch under the sun, but it still works well enough, and the update only offers improvements. I went ahead and made a minor change to make the patch amenable to SA-1 1.35+, and commented out a useless duplicate instruction. (I also changed the title in the patch to "v3".)

Note that the readme includes instructions to add a third set of additional player graphics and beyond, which for the most part works as expected. What the patch is not set up for, is installing additional sets of extended tiles to go with these new graphics. You have GFX00, 22, and 24 to use for Mario, and three corresponding replacement files to share between all characters who are not Mario. Also note that this update does not change the readme from v2.2.

Tested with Asar 1.71, Lunar Magic 3.21, SA-1 1.32, SA-1 1.40, Snes9x 1.59.2, BSNES 0.6.9.

Super excited for when this can be done with OW Mario and Luigi!

I used it from my SMW hack

So... this is the patch that JUMP 1/2 uses... right?

...Or is just similar in mechanics, just working very differently from other coding?

If you like this, I submitted an Uberasm that allows you to switch characters on the overworld map. Its waiting for approval. It fixes a lot of the issues some of the other blocks and patches for that purpose have.

Oh damn this one's a huge improvement compared to the old one.

A dream come true.... Thanks you

wut? now it worked

it's also happening to me

lucky i made a backup

I CAN'T MOVE ON OVERWORLD!

Someone Needs To Remake This

This is an old patch

Yeah it happened to me too. Why isn't anyone updating this?

When Luigi appears in the overworld I can't move him, I swear, I tried pressing all the directional keys, but he won't move

PLEASE!! MAKE A VERSION COMPATIBLE WITH SA-1 !!!!!!

rip sa-1 and 32x32 I may make a patch that supports these one day

Cause... the patches hate each other

First, where is SA-1 support?

Second, why can’t I use this with 32x32 player graphics?

It crashes my rom when the nintendo presents logo appears.
Way to fix this?

I'm having the same problem as Pigeon Lord, except I have a 4MB Rom with SMB:TLL-styled Choose Player Patch installed, and I'm hearing sounds playing at the black screen.

When I Added It To My Romhack I Got Stuck On The Nintendo Presents Screen. I Copied And Pasted But Nothing Worked.
File Type .smc
Emulator. SNES9X

Just starting but I believe you need to expand the ROM size in File > Expand ROM > Expand ROM to 4MB

I followed the instructions, but even though I used a fresh rom, I have no freespace? What?

when i made the patch and i opened it up the first text does not show up and it softlocks me..

I unheadered my rom, but I get what sonic 10179 is getting when I do. With the header, it seems to work, but the moment I try to boot the rom to test it, it has a blank screen.

Why this patch hasn't be actualized?

@sonic10179
AFAIK you should be patching with an unheadered ROM while using ASAR. That is to say remove the ROM's Header and try again.

@Sylvenight_alt_alt
I don't think so. The 32x32 is broken with 2 *patches. I'd expect the same for this one too.

*DKCR Status Bar
*Custom Mario Palette

I keep getting : Warning: The ROM title appears to be "", which looks like garbage. Is this your ROM title? (Note that inproperly answering "yes" will crash your ROM.) My ROM is called Super Mario World (USA).sfc.
Emulator : ZSNES.

How do I make this work for 32x32 graphics, or is it already possible?

I'm not using a SA-1 ROM, and i'm new to ROM hacks so I don't know if I used the wrong RAM address or not.

Are you sure the SA-1 version works?
Or am just using the wrong RAM address?

Whenever I apply the patch, if I do a standard jump with Mario (not a running jump) the bottom half of his graphic for jumping doesn't appear. Emulator: Snes9x

i am actually using this... and works perfectly! i edited your graphics and make them mario and luigi from smb3 (well only mario i used some graphics fron smb1)but that last doesn't care 13/10

I managed to convert this to SA1. Enjoy!

Me gusta este parche pero necesito que lo hagan compatible con SA-1
I like this patch but I need to make it compatible with SA-1

Can you make a SA-1 version please?

How do you use this part of the patch?

; Replacement GFX files for Luigi
!gfx00Luigi = #$00 ; Extended tiles
!gfx22Luigi = #$22 ; Blushing graphics (Small)
!gfx24Luigi = #$24 ; Blushing graphics (Super)

Luigi.bin only applies to GFX32.

Edit: Figured it out! You have to use ExGFX. For example, copy GFX00, change it to the Luigi version, rename it ExGFX80, insert it into the ROM, change "!gfx00Luigi = #$00" to "!gfx00Luigi = #$80" in the patch, then apply the patch.

I tried to patch this but ASAR just hang, I let it run for an hour and nothing... What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I fixed this, make sure you are using the right type of rom.

And try dragging the patch in then your rom and boom all done

caiquinus17 use asar

So, question... I changed where things are pointed to on the char. tile map in my rom. How do I do this again for luigi's sprite?

I just get a purple-ish screen and some random noises...

VV What doesn't work about it? VV

WON'T WORK

please!What programs I use ?and How do I enter Luigi ?I've tried xkas and asar and I can not!!!
