Re: A2MT Update Thread
I meant to include this in my previous post, but in baserom 2.6, levels 19, 66, and A2 (I don't think there are others, but I guess it's possible) seem to have totally borked graphics. I'm not sure if this is just my copy of the file for some reason or not, but I'd recommend someone look into it!

Re: A2MT Update Thread
Yo, I'd hate to be an attention whore, but I'd appreciate it if anyone at all had any thoughts regarding the quick draft of the intro level I made up based on raocow's idea and Servant's text and all that jazz. Granted, it's quick and unpolished, but I hoped that getting some amount of feedback (ie. whether it works or not) would let me know if it's worth taking the time to actually polish it up and make it nice. Should I have put it in the Testing thread instead?
Basically I'm just looking for any feedback at all; even if it's something like "Eh, it doesn't really work and we'll do something else," (I would accept that, really) that's preferable to assuming no one even looked at it.

Re: A2MT Update Thread
It's a good rough draft.
I didn't like jumping near the ceiling.
Also the room were you escape should have something like a potted flower to look nice(and to "block" the exit)
Why was there so many random things at the end? The message block ruins the overworld entrance.
I also think testing would be a better thread.

Re: A2MT Update Thread
The first area could probably use a bit of work; I just tried to come up with a rough layout that has a vaguely 'escape'-y feel, and I didn't go about making up custom graphics at this point (I do plan to have something 'blocking' the exit). Is jumping near the ceiling a general no-no? I thought going up and down would keep the escape bit interesting.
Actually I just had a thought; is it possible to program out the HUD in that first area?
That's why the 'random things at the end' (as well as the message block) are there; everything gets destroyed on touch in a Fission Mailed sort of way. This goes for all the enemies and other objects too; I just don't know how to program that in (the star and mushroom are placeholders for the meantime).
I'll take future versions to the testing thread; assuming, of course, that raocow (or whoever else) doesn't prefer the Cheetahmen II intro (or any other ideas) instead.

Is it possible to have both the cheetahmen intro also? It could even be the pre-game level I think(as in C7).

Re: A2MT Update Thread
The patches have been sorted out.
Expect an update soon, which should presumably have a nice amount of space freed up.

Re: A2MT Update Thread
Alright, we have a somewhat hefty problem that needs to be fixed. P-Switch Beach (level 019) used map16 from page F, and somehow all but four tiles from that page were overridden. Yoshiguy978 has map16 page 35, too for some reason, so we have to move his map16 to that page. I can do this if no one volunteers, but I've never retiled a whole page, so I probably wouldn't do it efficiently.
Re: A2MT Update Thread
Are you using the new LM? If so, it has a handy "Remap" button that you can click. Just highlight all of the tiles, click that button, and choose how many tiles to "add" to it (throw them all on a fully blank page, if you can).

Though if SNN's suggestion works fine, then it may be a non-issue.

Re: A2MT Update Thread
Alright, if that's all that needs to be done, Systemkrash should be able to do that for the next update.

Re: A2MT Update Thread
I took a look at the older base ROMs and the Map16 wasn't over-written there. I'll get the new baseROM and fix this up. What I need to figure out though is if another level was using those tiles at the same time.swirlybomb wrote:I guess this post wasn't obvious enough.swirlybomb wrote:I meant to include this in my previous post, but in baserom 2.6, levels 19, 66, and A2 (I don't think there are others, but I guess it's possible) seem to have totally borked graphics.

Re: A2MT Update Thread
This update is long overdue.
+ "Punctuated Time" by limepie20 (006) is inserted
+ "A Gelatin Factory" by Paralars (116) is inserted
+ Frostyfish88's Switch Palace section is inserted (0AB, 0C6, 0C8, 0C9, 0D5)
+ Septentrion Pleiades's Switch Palace section is inserted (121)
+ Lv27MarkerMan's Switch Palace section is inserted (103)
+ Isocitration's Switch Palace section is inserted (FA)
+ Wyatt's Switch Palace section is inserted (FB)
+ SyStemkraSh's Switch Palace section is inserted (F9)
+- Glitched graphics on levels 19, 66, and A2 are fixed, but there are now glitched graphics on level 12F (read below)
+
- Mad Science Laboratory's thwomps need to be fixed (I have no idea what the problem could be)
- 008's second midpoint isn't working (asking limepie20 for help)
- Insert graphics for chest items
- reread the messages for the chests and make sure they fit
- fix level 12F's graphics
- fix problems found in the "Final Tweaking of Inserted Levels" thread
So, I found out the problem with levels 19 and 66 having messed up graphics. It turns out that level 12F (which was made by me) uses the same Map16 spaces. I think this came about because I claimed a slot that appeared as empty on the wiki, but wasn't empty in the ROM. -_- Anyway, I inserted DMII's Map16 in order to fix the graphics, and I plan to retile 12F to use other tiles.
EDIT: Shit, A2's graphics are glitched because ExGFX file 10B was overwritten with another. Currently looking into it.
EDIT2: 10B's graphics are now fixed, but it is possible that ANOTHER level somewhere in the ROM now has glitched graphics.

Re: A2MT Update Thread
S.N.N. said that there's a retile button on the new lunar magic. You should check it out to see if it makes the process easier for you.
Re: A2MT Update Thread
Level 8's midpoint doesn't work because the level's regular midway point is on screen 0. Doing this disables midway point checking in the level.
Just make it 1 or anything non-zero, and the custom midway point will warp the player to CE as the MMP.asm table says.

Ah, thanks for your help Diortem; the midway point is fixed.

Re: A2MT Update Thread
I don't know if this is due to the wiki not being updated yet or not, but.. It says I still have sub levels 188 and 189, though I don't need them. My level is already inserted. I could of sworn I told you guys what I didn't use via detailed list. Just curious if you remember or not. Unless it's not very important.
Just looking out for others here who may want to claim my unused stuff. :D

A2MT 3.11
I didn't have the file "chest_data_gfx.bin" inserted in the last one; this one should have it now.

Re: A2MT Update Thread
Wyatt has sent me an updated version of his A2MT final level theme. Who should I send this to so that the songs may be replaced in the current rom that's being worked on?
