Ok, I don't understand how to make the overworld paths work properly...

I know all about placing the paths, but if I change what event happens after a level is beaten, the event occurs in the same spot it would normally occur in the regular game. How do you edit the events so that the paths fold out where and in what direction you want them to?

Don't point me to the Overworld Editing Tutorial, I opened it, and it's filled with random pictures, half of which don't open properly.

I've learned it a few days ago...

Click on the hill with a star on it - it's the layer 2 event editor mode. Then click on the white path button to select the tiles you'll use for edit your event (Use the arrows up and down to see more tiles). I'll give an example: if you made a green path and when the level is passed you want this path white you must put white path tiles on these green path tiles (in layer 2 event editor mode!!). REMEMBER: PUT THE TILES IN ORDER TO UNVARREL THE PATH. And... finish, you've made your event! But you need to erase the SMW's events. To do this press page up and page down to see the events of the original game. When you finish, select all of them and erase. Now the event you made will be event 0 if you haven't made another yet. I hope it helped you.

What the heck are you talking about, what hill with a star?

There is no hill!

Did you see?

Do you have Lunar Magic 1.63? That's the latest version. If not, go to the Edit menu and select 'Layer 2 Event Editor Mode'. Now press PageUp until everything appears and the bottom of the screen says 'Already at end (77)'. Now highlight EVERYTHING and delete it. Now you go back to Edit and select 'Layer 1 Event Editor Mode'. Highlight everything again and delete. You now are rid of events. Now to make your own.

1. Pick a level and set its event. For example, 1.
2. Go to 'Layer 2 Event Editor Mode' again.
3. Select event of the level.
4. Click 'Editors' and select 'Layer 2 Event Tile Selector'.
5. Press Up or Down to scroll through the pages and find the tile yo want.
6. Select the tile and place it (ctrl+right click)where you want it to appear.
6a. Put the tiles in the order you want them to appear.
7. Repeat step 5 until all tiles are placed in correct order.
8. Press PageUp.
9. Save.

That should work.

May we meet again outside the battlefield.

Ok, I only had version 1.51 or something like that, I downloaded the new one; it's much better. I think that's all the help I need, thanks

I have LM Version 1.60. Can you edit the defualt paths? Can you edit where Mario starts in the overworld?

For where Mario starts, go to Edit/Sprite Editor Mode and move Mario.
And for the paths, press 9, you'll have green paths and move them with the Layer 1 16x16 editor.

Thanks.
