Carol's Boo Blah

So, I posted in the ASM request thread for a Boo Blah sprite. I was pointed to Carol's data.zip and managed to find it because k_castle.asm has Boo Blah in the file. However, when I go to insert the sprite, I am not sure what to do next to get the Boo Blah sprite to function. Once I insert the k_castle sprite, literally nothing appears where it's placed.

Also, not sure how to get the Boo Blah sprite from this sprite since apparently there's 8 different sprites in k_castle.

Can someone help me with this?

Edit: It's named in the file as BIYON which is part of the japanese name and there's something about LDA #$08.

I'm pretty sure it's programmed to only show up in certain screens in the sublevel used by the second part of BM's Bowser's Castle.

It's not actually meant for normal use, sorry.

...Then why was I pointed to this sprite if it's not meant for "normal use"? Isn't that enough of a reason for my request for a new Boo Blah sprite to be valid? Limited to certain screens isn't exactly a good thing.

Ah, yes.
I was one of the replies.

I'm pretty sure that's part of Brutal Mario's global Bowser's Castle asm file (kcastle.asm) containing all of that level's custom sprites (minus the bosses I believe?).

k_castle is programmed that way so as to save space in the sprite index table.

You could theoretically rip the code out of the k_castle file with some knowledge of ASM and reverse engineering it so that it works by itself instead of some weird "if, if else" recreation, but I think it'd be far less complicated to just remake it from scratch.

Give it another whirl in the ASM requests thread?
Sorry for being useless.

As a general rule of thumb, most of carol's ASM doesn't really lend themselves well to general use.
Most were made with either Brutal or VIP2 through 5's levels in mind.

Ah, don't be like that dude. It's ok.

Yeah, I'll give it another go in the ASM request thread then. Thanks for the replies.

Ok, noted.
