Ask anything about SMW Hacking [V.2.0]

Well I found this on the site, but I wasn't sure what you meant. Did you want something to replace the cloud platform in SMW? In which case you could use the cloud found in this sprite sheet (Next to the throne).

I was Going thru all.. well I have sooo many SMW hacks and I came across one called OMG mario hack.. Is it meant to be joke because it starts at the little intro screen, you can move freely but you cant really go anywhere out of the screen, its like it starts you all boxed in. Anybody know what this is?

I'm not familiar with that ROM hack. Sorry. Perhaps it is a joke as it seems you're not supposed to anything.

Anyways, I was looking through the ROM map and I found this value:
1218B - Yoshi's fireball palette/GFX page
I looked at it in Translhextion and it has the value 35. How do I convert the palette/GFX page of a sprite into hex so I can change this value?

Much obliged, Ramp; exactly what I needed.

Edit: Also, what is the echo command for songs?

Hi there! One of my ports was rejected, and suggested I used "label looping." What does that mean?

It's hard to explain, so here's an example:

abcdefg
c4g4f4
abcdefg
abcdefg

(1)[abcdefg]
c4g4f4
(1)2

The syntax is (#)[notes]. Then, if you want to call the notes later on, just use the label (#). There's no limit to how many label loops you can use.

Note: You NEED to use the brackets the first time. Afterwards, though, you can go without them.

Cool, thanks. So I don't have to put any number after the (1)[abcdefg], I can just select the section of music?

What do you mean? After (1)[abcdefg], all you have to do is place (1) anywhere into the song to play abcdefg. You can also put a number after (1) to make it repeat. So (1)3 would play abcdefg 3 times.

I meant place a number after the [abcdefg] as if I would if I was looping it without labales - abcdefgabcdefg to [abcdefg]2. But from your answer, I am gathering that I don't need to place a number there.
Thank-you

So what you're saying is that if I put (1)[abcdefg]4, then I put (1), it won't play abcdefg four times?
Thank-you

On another music related question, is there any possible way to create a tie effect going into, or leaving a set of triplets?

If you were to enter:

"{d16^16c16}^8"

for example, it throws off the rhythm, reading it instead as something like:

"{d8}c16^8"

which obviously doesn't help.
If the answer is, that it is simply impossible, then could someone help me at least figure out how to get it to sound similar without changing the rhythm?

Alright, I'm back, and my port was rejected again . This time I was suggested to use ADSR to edit one of my instruments. Is this the thing I see in people's .txts that have $## (# being a number)? Thank-you for all the help so far!

No, it's not the same port as before.

I can't figure out how to get rid of level numbers on the pipes in the overworld.

Reply to me on SMWcentral, Thank You

I've answered this here.

I'm sure this has been answered before, and i could find it quite easily, but how do you create paths between levels on your overworld that change to dirt as you beat the level? If that doesn't make sense.. I'm talking about the level progression thing..







Also: I asked this question before, but i think it was interpreted differently than i meant and i didn't really get the right answer lol.
I want to make part of my overworld take place in the sky, on clouds like in Super Mario Bros. 3 World 5, Part 2. Here is a video of what i mean.

I want those clouds to use in my overworld, does anyone know where i can get them?

@zimmertr

I know there's a tutorial for it on YouTube somewhere - that's where I learned, but I'll give you the condensed version.

How to make events:

1) Open up the OW editor (obviously)

2) Click the hill with the star on it

3) First thing to do is delete the original events:
-Hold PageUp until you see at the bottom of the window "Already at
end (Event 0x77)"
-Drag the cursor over the entire OW and delete all the events
-Hold PageDown until you see at the bottom of the window "Already
at start (Event 0x0)". Now we can begin making our own events

4) I assume you already set up a level to activate the event. If not,
quickly click the ghost house, select the level tile, then click
the yellow button. The rest should be self explanatory

5) Make sure you're editing the right event. Use PageUp and PageDown
to change which event you want to edit. If you look at the bottom,
you'll notice it says "Event 0xY", where "Y" is the event number

6) To place down an event tile, click on the path tile button next to
the big blue switch to open the Event Tile Selector. Scroll through
the tiles using just the regular arrow keys. Keep scrolling down,
(Past all the empty tiles) and you'll start to see some path tiles.
Simply pick one up and place it down. Place them in the order you
want them to appear. You can see the event step-by-step using the
home and end keys.

Phew. That took a long time. I hope you can understand this, because I'm not too good at explaining. If you're stuck, find a tutorial on YouTube.

As for the second question, I remember this. Well, you may just have to rip it yourself since it doesn't seem SMWC has some. Just look for an ExGFX tutorial and you should be fine.

Okay, now I can FINALLY get to my questions:

1)What is the N-SPC echo command for songs?
2)How do you write a RATS tag?
