Helpful Diagrams

Yeah, I agree. Here's my suggestion, though: Just draw a path from each block to the range of colors they use instead of drawing lines to each color used from individual pixels. Is what I suggested clear?

I meant something like this:


Say you have colors 1-8 and tiles A-D. Tile A uses colors 1-4, so you draw a line from Tile A to right between colors 1-4, but don't actually put the line on the colors. Then, draw a little bracket ] that surrounds the four colors. Here's a terrible text drawing of what I mean:

1234
|___|
|
|__A


Something like that. Does it make sense to you? If so, do the same for all tiles and the colors they use. So if Tile B used colors 1, 3, and 4, you'd do something like this:

1234
| |_|
|__|
|__B

Get what I'm saying?

I made a diagram showing how Mario's head and body tiles are formatted in GFX 32 and 33. This is used by the tables at $00E00C (Mario's head tiles) and $00E0CC (Mario's body tiles). Smallhacker's Player Tilemap editor edits these, but you cannot place the tiles below 6F, thus, if you want to place tiles below the 6F range, you will have to edit the tilemap manually (which isn't so bad, actually :> )

Link because it's kinda big

Except people can go through all the events easily.

What is the best tool to download to edit the timer, counter fonts,graphics?

Erm, the FG/BG initial positions image is really nice, but it doesn't account for the different types of Layer 2 V-scroll. I updated DotsAreCool's image to account for that, but it's such a minor edit, I need no credit. Just put it under his name.

Thanks you guys for your works !

Ramp202 your diagram is too nice ! Too many time I change my statu bar instate of my background ! Can I use your diagram for my web site ?

Did this in about 30 minutes. Feedback would be nice.

Initial FG/BG Positions (vertical level)

Large Picture

The BG Setting can be in LM 1.7+ everything, in older versions you should set the BG Setting to the FG value. The Entrance on screen 1B is an exception of this, as the screen scrolls upwards. You can set the FG value to whatever you want, it is always placed good/it does not scroll.
