Doesn't that disable it altogether? I'm having shops in my hack, so I just don't want items to put items into the item box.

Shops should work fine with that hex edit. I guess it's just badly worded.

I may give it a try. Thanks.

Hey thar everyone. I have a problem with the MUCH better raccoon patch. Well, I patched it to my ROM. Later I patched the tile 83 fix patch to my ROM (no other patches on the ROM besides these) I patched the Raccoon2Cape.IPS (to change raccoon mario back into cape mario) and whenever I jump, the game freezes. help?

How do I hide a mushroom behind something?

Is the Raccoon2Cape patch designed to be used with the version of the Raccoon Mario patch you used? If not, no wonder that it crashes the game.

Well, I used the MUCH better raccoon patch. I downloaded a new version with the raccoon 2 cape. I dont think theyre TOO different.

Alright, well, ~~Post++~~ I can't edit, so I guess I'll have to post again. Scratch my last post, I figured it out.

How do I make my P-Switches un-carryable?

Question: Why doesn't "Layer Priority Enabled" work in vertical levels? (granted, it'd probably be added difficulty, since most sprites seem to activate before Mario can get to them)

Currently balancing work and hobbies. Also I've got a job now.

I need help when i try using 2 diferent bg and fg one of each other glitches

How do you edit the status bar???

@DragonX123 Use this to edit the status bar.

@EBLUE What do you mean by "glitches" do you mean Palette, or what?

Ppl? In lunar magic how do you change the sprite for mario, say if i wanted to make him a goomba or a koopa (i have the sprites but dont know what to do with them)

If you stomp a goomba you become a goomba! :D
Also, Goombas have feelings to! So be nice to them or they will devour your soul!!!! D:.

You need player graphics. Go to the graphics page and scroll down until you see graphics with [PLAYER] in front of them. All of those graphics change how the player looks.

If you dont know how to insert graphics read this tutorial

I'm having troble with the seperate luigi graphics patch. This is what the event log in xkas GUI says:

Values successfully loaded from registry!
Xkas GUI succesfully started!
"Insert" button pressed
Backup #0 has been made.
Assembler started.
Assembler exited. Output:

Backup deleted
Insert Success!
Showing event log

I had my rom, xkas, the patch, and the player graphics in the same folder.
But when I play the game, I get a mix of luigi and garbeled graphics for Mario, but Luigi's graphics are fine. Help?

Well, I'm finally posting after being stopped dead in my tracks for ages trying to figure out why I am unable to patch right.

Well... I get a clean hack (verified clean by the site's verifer)

Then, I expand the hack with LunarMagic to 4MB and move stuff around and save in case.

Next, I drag my hack into the Free Space Logger.

That's all fine until I try patching with Xkas GUI. Whatever I do, it will screw up. Whether it's freezing in the title screen (the most common), patches replacing one another even though they have nothing in common, and crashing within the stage. Then, if I put my hacks in a very specific order and limit them to like 6... it doesn't crash. Well... until I edit the Map16 and then the whole hack just dies. So yeah... I started with a new clean hack today and there's just something different I need to do this time... Add about 12 patches with fixes for glitches and stuff in addition to the ones who completely screw up my hack.

And so I admitted defeat and come over to ask. Btw, I'm a total newb at hacking, so spare some extra info to instruct me please.

Have you tried using the regular xkas?

There might be some unknown error in the GUI or something =/

Well, I got a different result... garbled layers .___.

I'll go experiment a bit more with the regular xkas... however I'm out of time for now
