Another Rom Hack

[SAJewers]

Wow. Those koopas could use a lot more work.

[morsel/morceau]

I want to play the mouser to cow hack.

The compatibility is probably the music. Basically, you'll need to update your addmusic and all your texts. You should read this, though: http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=44534.

[Argumentable]

I know music didn't work in pretty much any level when someone was playing on snes9x, and from what I deduced of bsnes it only happened when a custom sprite showed up???

Edit: I'm bad at things all I can do is make my rom crash now. I guess I need to transfer everything AGAIN

[Argumentable]

I don't remember it?

[Argumentable]

Yeah that's all I was remembering.

This isn't asm shit it's compatibility shit

I could come up with some asm shit though

[Argumentable]

Monday update cause stuff has happened!!!

I'd say half of the bowser castle rooms are made, at least for what I have planned. It's still <50% done. The penultimate room will probably take me a bit to set up right. Also there's some brand new graphics that are being made???

[Argumentable]

Is there a sprite or something I can use to make layer 3 tide not go up or down

[Argumentable]

Not rise, there's no vertical scroll. I guess to be most specific I just want water that pushes you back but I'm too lazy to make a graphic since the layer 3 tide already does exactly what I want (except for going down)

It's really work-aroundable but if it's easy to do then yeah I'm gonna use it

[Argumentable]

You never seem to and then I have to spend half an hour explaining it

[yoshicookiezeus]

Unless I'm misunderstanding things, doesn't the low tide do what you want, since it stays at the same height? Or do you want a higher water level than that?

[Argumentable]

It does, but it's too low.

Having it right here (where it is when you first inter a layer 3 rising/lowering tide level) is perfect for how I want it. BUT like I said, I can work around it, I just think it makes for a more interesting room

[yoshicookiezeus]

Then according to the description, this sprite should do what you want. Its main purpose is fixing the incompatibility with vertical scrolling, but you can also use it to set the height of the low tide to whatever you want.

[Argumentable]

Ugh, I even saw that and I didn't check it out cause I was like "Oh it's just for vertical levels"

Withholding thanks until I see if it actually works how I want it!!!

[Argumentable]

Oh ok then thanks alex2

[Argumentable]

I guess I'm done with bowser's castle. I got everything complete but i'm probably dropping the 4th choice or whatever since I can't actually think of 3 themed rooms to make you pick from. So it's just 3 choices then the penultimate hallway then the bossfight wow!!!

I guess I should really go back and fix up some of that stuff that needs fixing up that I can't remember. Or make a special world which I still don't have the details ironed out for

Could probably make an overworld, too, but again I'm awful at that and I'm putting it off until 1) I absolutely have to do it or 2) can find someone else to make one

Oh and I'll probably never get it to work on anything other than zsnes SORRY

[Bwarch]

Sounds good to me, I like Zsnes.

Alex is going to hate you forever tho.

[Argumentable]

Yeah, well, my trying to fix that just broke it even more

why'd you delete my comment on that video meanie. And this hack is literally better in terms of level design than anything that has come out of smwc in the past 3 years. Oh and cute Canary

[Argumentable]

Probably because it was really stupid? I don't remember what it was honestly

There's a lot of world 5 & 6 levels that I don't have tons of feedback on. I still need to do a major rehaul of Abandoned Warehouse (or just ignore a final section since it's mostly a puzzle anyway) and finish the penultimate level. I tried to get my friend who does graphics stuff to do some overworlds for me but she had a hard time so OH WELL still whining about that over here

[tatanga]

There's a lot of world 5 & 6 levels that I don't have tons of feedback on.

I don't know how much it would help, but I could give you some feedback on those worlds in the next couple weeks. In any case, it's cool that this is nearing completion!

[Argumentable]

You said you were gonna play through them all but you mysteriously stopped after world 4. I did (try to) take some of your notes into account. And I think Cup's. Watching my really-bad-at-video-games friend struggle with a couple helped too (the fact that she could beat some of the world 5 stuff made me question their difficulty)

[tatanga]

Yeah, sorry about the disappearing trick there. Classes were really busy for awhile, but now things have settled down a bit. I get Thursday and Friday off this week, so I feel like I have a lot of free time coming up.

[Argumentable]

Sorry guys I can't update you on mondays anymore (actually I can but it'd be in the evening and I may or may not feel like it) so you get a sunday morning one instead

An idea for the final bowser fight has been set into motion, and I think it's actually decent enough if only for novelty value. Like most of ARH it's not amazing so don't think I'm trying to hype it up.

That's my update!!!
