This is a very late response but I just read it and feel the need to respond.




I completely disagree that that is bad design. The setup near the mini pipes clearly shows that the mini mushroom is required to continue, and the only way to prevent yourself from continuing is by doing it purposely. As a level designer, I'm not going to go out of my way to prevent those kinds of instances and I wouldn't expect someone to do the same.

For future reference, the numbers to the right of some sprites refer to the sprite set and slot required to use that sprite. Not having the correct slot/set can result in the sprite not showing up or even the game crashing.

I don't know how to randomization, so I made object 92. It's made up of all four of the ground tiles and I usually do something similar with my other rips so that they look somewhat randomized.

Here is a list of complete NSMB hacks. There are also some incomplete hacks listed, but that list might not be up to date.

Missed the perfect opportunity to use the ninja smiley.


(Just noticed you got 2 +1s in just this page of the thread re: thief)

They would be swiftly banned.

Hiccup, something being bad (and by extension, good) is an opinion, not a fact. There is no need to attack him over it.

Sounds like I missed out. Oh well.

hes an okay guy

nevermind hes not that great

What is this... "dignity"... you speak of?

Ironically enough  Dirbaio, it seems you've lost the most karma due to deleted posts/threads. I believe your karma was at 335 before this new system was implemented.

EDIT: Minus deleted things, your karma should be at ~2400.

I've noticed where the people who have +1'd you the most are listed, it says "more..." but you can't actually find out more. This is also true with the list of people you've +1'd.

Was this a planned feature?

Please stop the rudeness and sarcasm, both of you. That's the stuff people get banned for.

Hey more backgrounds, from NSMBWii

So, I cleared out a level and recreated this with the settings in the first post. With nothing else in the level, it is as you state; the switch is already pressed and there are no bubbles.

So this is actually two problems, but we only need to worry about one of them.

The problem we care about right now is that you can't use pipe bubbles that way. Pipe bubbles don't have an input/output ID like you said; it has two input IDs. Bubbles start off on if both input IDs are 0, otherwise it will stay off until triggered by the correct ID. This means that even if the switch was fixed, the bubbles would still stay off (since one of the input IDs is not 0) and will turn on when you hit the switch. This is the opposite of what you want, but what you want is not possible as you have it.

So here's how you fix it:

1) In the level editor window, press "z" to switch the dialog on the left to the zone editor. Click "add" to add a zone to the level, then move the zone to the entrance of the level so that when you enter the level, Mario is entirely within that zone. If you have no other zones, this should be zone 0.

2) Add sprite 168 (Event Controller - "If" (uses zones)) to the level. I don't think it matters where in the level you put it, but put it in the zone you just created just to be safe.

3) Edit the details of the sprite you just added to look like this:



4) Repeat steps 1-3 for all entrances to the level.


The pipe bubbles start out deactivated. When you enter the level, sprite 168 stealth activates ID 1, turning the bubbles on. So when you reach the bubbles, they are on and can be turned off with the switch, which was also fixed with the process above. The problem with the switch was that since the bubbles are off to begin with, there's nothing to deactivate, so the switch stays pressed.

Have some new things.

Will edit into first post soon.

Really, with the number of finished full-length original hacks there are (two according to this thread), finishing a hack would be impressive.

There have been many times when I've went to set the tile behavior for a tileset only to find out my entire map16 is an 8x8 tile too high. This would help fix this 100% of the time.
