GoldPooka - Just check the SMW Sprite disassembly project thread and it'll have a list of the sprites
I change my layout every 4-5 months
Hey Guys,
I've put many hours of work into some
Sprite, Overworld, And Story hacking,
Many levels are made,
But I don't I will be able to finish;
I was kicked out, soon to be Married, Military, ect,
I still want to release the sprites,
Should I just release what I have done with the overworld?
And hope someone can finish it,
Or should I just scrap the work?
Engolping - dont scrap it yet, just wait until you have free time to work on it then sooner or later, you will get a demo of the hack released.
I change my layout every 4-5 months
I also suggest you don't give it to anyone else to finish it for you unless you know them and trust them completely. >.>

What I think you should do is ending off the hack quickly. Either as a demo, or submit it as a full hack even though it isn't finished if you are sure you won't be working on it anymore(but in that case you would have to conclude the story, which may not be simple with little production time =/)

Personally I'd go with option one; just submit your hack as a demo
Is there a program available that allows you to listen to the music files without having to patch it into SMW and load up the emulator? A standalone music player for the music files available here?
When you download a custom music file, it usually should come with something called a .SPC file. To use it, you need a tool that can open .SPC files (I suggest Winspc). Then, you can just load the .SPC file into the player and listen to the music to get an idea of what it sounds like.
On The Ultimate Background Ripper's Background Archive, a few of the backgrounds require 3 or even 4 palettes, but there's only 1 palette dedicated to the background. How is it possible to have so many palettes for the background?
"We knew the world would not be the same... Few people laughed.. few people cried.. most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita... Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."
Is there any easy way to insert custom ExGFX BGS or FGS?

Just follow this tutorial and it should teach you everything you need to know about ExGfx insertion
So I've got an area in my ROMhack where a bridge gets blown up, but I'm not sure how to keep you from going back over the bridge. When you finish a level on the bridge, the bridge blows and you go to the right to another level tile that is off the bridge. I've unchecked the box that allows you to go left on this level tile, thinking it would stop you from going left again, but when when you get there, you're still able to go back left onto the now non-existant bridge.

Is there any way to make it to where you can't go back to the left after you reach a certain level tile?

Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."
You could try ending the previous level with the "[BTSD] XY Overworld Position Blocks, Version 3" block by ICB, which should warp you to the level you want, but there won't be any overworld animation events =/
So would it work to pair up "[BTSD] XY Overworld Position Blocks, Version 3" with "[BTSD] Exit Adder" by HuFlungDu? The exit adder would end the level when you touch it and activate an event and the XY Overworld Position Block would move you to another place on the OW, thus making the event activate and moving you to another position on the overworld, right?

Sorry for pestering, just want to make sure it's possible to do both.

I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."
Personally I have no idea if that would work as I haven't touched either of the blocks before.

what I suggest you do however, is to backup your rom, insert those blocks, and give it a try

If it works, problem solved
If it doesn't, you can always come back and ask for more help =P
Well then, how do I edit the "MARIO START!"? I found it on the AllGFX.bin, but I quickly noticed that the game automatically uses symmetry for parts of some of letters. How do I change this?

I see you looking at my sig. You're just jealous.
Watch my LPs and whatever else I do!

Where can I post screen shots to my mod,
And A play-able demo version of it?
A lot of my sprites are glitched. I haven't figured out how to fix them, unless using the YYCH is the only way to fix them. I could use some help if you would.

Depending on how long your demo is (1 or 2 worlds) you can submit it, and the screenshots, to SMWC. Just, when you're uploading the full version, make sure to say you want the demo deleted.

You might as well disable it, instead of going through the effort of tweaking it...

Code
018A6	$00:96A6	2 bytes	ASM	Change to EA EA to make MARIO START! appear on the Yoshi's house OW tile number, or to 80 03 to make the MARIO START! never appear.


Nobody will complain if it's glitchy, bad, or anything... because it isn't there! Some others might be able to help you here if you still want to keep it. (Ladida?)
Hi all,

I understand the basics of music banks, but can each level have their own music bank? I ask this because there a certain track that I want to use for the Bowser battles but it's under another music bank.

If I wanted to create a boss with the n00b's ultimate boss, what do I have to write to? I understand there is a Readme and tutorial online, but they aren't what you call specific. They just tell me to edit some things, but I don't know what to change. Please help!
