Generally when you open up a custom sprite's ExGFX file you'll want to search for the "Graphics Routine" section. Sometimes it might say something like "tilemap" sometimes it might not say anything at all cause some people assume everyone else knows asm. It generally helps to have YY-CHR open as well to make it easier to find the files as it does label the tile in there as well. If it's a sprite that uses SP4, though, you'll have to add 8 to the first number (keeping in mind that after 9 the numbers continue A-F, so tile 42 would become C2)

You'll probably find something that says $##, so you can just ctrl-F to find that tile and it'll work 9 times out of 10 to find the part where it labels what parts of the graphic file are used. Just change those numbers to the new spot (again, double checking in YY-CHR will help) and there you go.

Changing actual SMW enemy graphic files involves using a hex editor and looking up a bunch of values. You can look up that shit on SMWCentral yourself cause there's no way I'm gonna tackle that when all most people will probably need is changing custom sprite graphics

TILEMAP             dcb $00,$02,$04,$04

Using your custom sprite, you want this blob

Code: Select all

TILEMAP             dcb $00,$02,$04,$04

If you wanted to make them SP4 you could just change them to $80,$82,$84,$84 to be on the same spot only on that page if, say, you wanted to use Chargin' Chucks or whatever the fuck else SP3 uses

Why are people still using TRASM for shit? Ugh I hate everything.

Argumentable wrote:Confusing? Everything you would need to change is labeled at the top

Code: Select all

!TimeHundreds	=	$02	
!TimeTens	=	$05
!SpriteNumber	=	$01
!Sound 		= 	$22
!Bank 		= 	$1DFC

Admittedly, I don't know if the time parts count time passed or time on clock, but changing the sprite number is all you need to worry about. Just write over the number, save, and reinsert. You can save multiple files so you can have multiple blocks that shit out different sprites.

Except the one that's labeled "NextTile" just goes to the next map16 block instead of whatever sprite you picked, so keep that in mind

Also, I wouldn't worry about the sound/bank
