raocow's talkhaus

I broke my face enough on levels that require me to replay 5 to 10 minutes of them on every death, to say that that particular experience is really similar from one to the other. This is no exception, this is absolutely nothing new. No matter what your level's great qualities are, they are null and ...

Right, so here's my primary beef with a lot of things. Repetition. Specifically, marathon repetition. You kind of have to repeat an entire marathon over and over if you want to progress. Like, I don't know - parts of the levels on their own would be fine if more midpoints were available, but they're...

Level seemed a bit overkill with how much it wanted you to "stand around" and occasionally push buttons on its first half two thirds. Props to raocow for being that patient. I know I wouldn't have endured that so many times. Like, I feel that otherwise the level is super well designed - it...

Well, now I have a problem. The message box in the goal room is blank when I enter from the previous room, but if I enter straight from the overworld level I used the room for, it shows up fine. (I have the goal room set at the same level index as Valley Fortress) When you make a message box: What ...

The lightning has no SP4, and Lunar Magic doesn't innately know where your music is (unless you have a specific file in your rom folder, it's going to show up as "Not Inserted" despite actually being, in fact, inserted) but as long as you select the Index that you inserted it as in AddMus...

Right, right, to use music in a level: http://i.imgur.com/zYaJmJM.png Also I don't really remember what process to use in order to make sure Addmusic doesn't mess up what music is used for what, so I'm gonna have to look that up. Edit: As for the lightning, SpriteTool has this handy sprite. You onl...

-using Bowser arena blocks in a regular room If you were able to insert the Roto-disc GFX (following previous post instructions), then you should be able to do it using the GFX file and Map16 file I've included as attachment in this post. The only new information you need to be aware of is this: ht...

EvilMariobot wrote: -Addmusic won't let me add music.

I believe you mentionned an error going "Sample isn't used in this song", right?



^ Do this and then try running addmusic and it should insert.

(helpful stuff) Well, I got the sprites and tiles in, but the lava is solid and the rotodiscs are cubes. Also, is there a way to import a PNG file into Map 16? Oh yeah, it's worth noting that in vanilla, the lava walls don't actually kill you. If you want to make lava walls that actually kill you, ...

Okay, now I've got Rocks; I need windows. Also, I'll need left-facing versions of vertical Mud/Lava and it's corner. Scratch that, I think I know what to do I just need to know how to copy map 16 tiles, and make them appear in Add Objects. And I'll need to know how to use Sprite Tool since I cannot...

Unrelated note: How do I change a level that uses a layer 2 BG into one that uses a proper layer 3 and I can use the Layer 2 editor? For Layer 2 purposes: http://i.imgur.com/qZLHvYM.png As for Layer 3 backgrounds: http://i.imgur.com/7w7i6nR.png Note that you can't outright transfer a Layer 2 backgr...

The similarities between cat planet angel girl and Nancy are actually coincidential.

Which makes very little sense considering how long I knew cat planet.

File: NewMusic/REMIX - Abstract/REMIX - Abstract.txt Line: 16: The specified sample was not included in this song. How do fix? This is a fun one. I had to browse SMWCentral to solve it when I ran into it myself. As far as I recall, just take the contents of your song's Samples folder and put them i...

I ain't got any problem with that, just poke me whenever you need to know more about a problem!

Ok, so a problem I'm having with my level is I'm making a forest level, and the top of the giant tree trunk is cut off And as well is when the giant tree trunk is in front of the ground, mario just falls through it For your second problem: http://i.imgur.com/lSQPUtt.png For your first problem: impo...

here you go Thanks a bunch. I'm slowly getting the hang of LM, but I still need to know how to merge tilesets, because My level uses underground lava in a castle tileset. Do I need Blocktool or something for this, or if I want to add a decorative piece to a room made to look like Bowser's Room? Her...

Yeah, I have no idea on how to open a blank ROM... I think I'll be able to handle the rest of the process beyond that. You'll need to get a clean rom of Super Mario World from somewhere. You'll have to figure that part on your own. And then you just make a backup (very important) and use Lunar Magi...

What the title says here. It goes for anyone, really; people completely new at romhacking or people looking for some specific technical information, up to and including looking up something in the disassembly. Just ask your questions ; doesn't matter how dumb you think said question is or how dumb I...

Copy Kitty secretly is big fish legends cat

Here's my level

It's a level

hope you enjoy

Another noob question which probably just amounts to me missing something obvious, but where are just regular question blocks? I can only find flying and invisible ones I also can't find the guide line things or the platforms that move on them but I haven't looked around on the internet for where t...

Question: Should I declare resources before submitting a level?

Like, beyond just "being allowed" - what's prefferable?
