The ASM Requests Thread

Request name: Flying Iggy
Type: Boss

Flys, Shoots Fireballs, stun stomps.

To put it briefly, I would like a boss that will fly at the top of the screen, going from left to right and shoots fireballs occasionally. I would also like it to stomp every now and then and will stun mario if he is still on the ground. While on the ground, it can fire some kind of projectile. In order to hit the boss, you will simply have to jump on it when it is on the ground.

Something kinda like this:

I realized, that still reading the article, you still have limatatons: like wring RAM into it, and that you cannot overwrite, else it goes to next 8x8 tile.

May as well use the correct format:

Request:

Name	SMB3 Paragoomba
Type	Sprite
Short description	Flying paragoomba from smb3 that spawns microgoombas
Resources	http://bin.smwcentral.net/u/27050/gfx.bin
Images	(1)
Long description	Flying paragoomba from smb3 that spawns microgoombas, typically found at the end of levels. Should transform into a configurable sprite when jumped on.

I'll give it another go with, again, the same request (because I really think it's useful for space shooter levels, and because I need it).

Name	Crystal Core (Marine Pop-Compatible Boss)
Type	Sprite
Short description	A simple 32x32 Core that's shootable with SML's Marine Pop. Shoots custom homing projectiles.
Resources	GFX File. Palette File
Images	(1)
Long description	A very simple stationary floating 32x32 colour-changing boss with 15 HP that can be attacked using the SML Marine Pop sprite. It'll aim and shoot projectiles at the player every few seconds. It will warps the player to a specific level (screen exit is prefered) after it explodes like a bob-omb when defeated. Uses the original SMW Palette slots A-D with an additional shade to palette square 8. It switches GFX every 5 hits. Any other details or phases to add are welcomed, but not required. Make it as customized as you like!
My Reward	A custom sampled music piece, or a relatively small graphics request.

1) If you mean how long am I committed to get one done, I'll start as soon as I retrieve the sprite with it functioning correctly, and possibly have it done within a week at the longest. If you mean the langth of the piece itself... I'd say about 1:30 at minimum, and maybe 3:30 at Maximum.
2) There are many things to consider.
- If it's a rip, really anything that doesn't rely on hyper-realism (DKC) or the way tiles have to be formed (Lion King). Really, anything from NES, SNES, and maybe GBA is my limit. I also won't guarantee a full tileset rip depending on how big it is.
- If it's handmade, I won't design more than 5 sprites for a single enemy, and (again) I won't go super extensive on a tileset with a bunch of background decoration. If you want a specific kind of decoration for a certain tileset (and I don't have to make it), then I'll consider making some kind of 128x128 decoration.
- If it's a resize of an existing tileset, I'll only do sprites or main tilesets without all the decoration.


The Gif Image has a little Metroid-styled "donut" projectile which, in Metroid, moves slowly to fire where the player is at. Think the Mother Brain fights from Metroid and Super Metroid, except it's coming from the boss itself.

...You guys don't need to resubmit the same request with the new format. It's pointless. If you really want to use the new format then edit your old post instead. But I know you all wanna get a "up" in your requests so, don't do that.

Request name: Parabolic speed routine
Type: Code
Short description: I'd like a subroutine that I can use to make a sprite move in a parabola-shaped path.
Resources: None needed
Links: None needed
Long description: What the short description says. No, just setting a negative Y speed when a sprite is on the ground won't work, because that depends on the sprite both having gravity and interacting with objects, not to mention the parabola opens in only one direction and I'd need some trial and error to get the curve correct. I'm looking for a routine where I can plug in exactly how wide and how tall I'd like the parabolic path to be, as well as in which direction the parabola opens. For instance, I could have something move from the starting location to a point 0x50 pixels to the right with the zenith of the arc being 0x30 pixels above the starting point, or to a point 0x60 pixels to the left with the zenith of the arc at 0x48 pixels below the starting point.

----------------

I'm working on a hack! Check it out here. Progress: 64/95 levels.

I'm surprised you haven't added a rule about it when you first posted the thread. Just saying that people are going to repost after they feel that they are being ignored after more than 30 posts pass by... especially if they REALLY need it...

I am the infamous one reposting though, so if I have a banhammer coming my way, go ahead. However the point of this post is to point out that this rule should've been added sooner and... well, SHOULD be added when you decide to update the OP again.

smw's status bar does a direct DMA; it doesnt use the stripe image uploader. stripe image upload is too slow and inefficient to use during runtime, especially for something like an ow border, as it's basically multiple small DMAs with a lot of overhead

Even though it's in the table, I'm re-posting this:

Request:

Name	Elite Goomba
Type	Sprite
Short description	A goomba that's hard to kill.
Resources	http://bin.smwcentral.net/u/207/Elite%2BGoomba.zip
Images	(1)
Long description	This is how it works. The Elite Goomba walks normally. When Mario jumps or spinjumps on it, before hitting the target, the Goomba launches spikes from its helmet to protect itself and it can keep on doing that, until Mario is done. Jumping on its spikes hurt you and spinjumping in it boosts you. When the Goomba sees Mario(is 5 blocks away from the enemy), it prepares to spit 6 fireballs at him. After doing this 1 more time, it goes to sleep and Mario can jump/spinjump on it. The Goomba will be hit and it will show an animation. Another hit on the Goomba will defeat it.

I don't want to be a bother here.
