For example, I don't know why there should be information about each level in the overlays. I'd think all information that's needed is stored in the files in the \course folder.

True, but think of it as a skeleton, you will still need the flesh and the nerves so-to-speak to move that skeleton because otherwise that skeleton is just good for decoration.

arm9 and overlays provide that much needed flesh and nerves (or in other terms how the game should handle the different behaviors and parameters).

For example to play a level smoothly, the game needs to handle:
_camera behavior
_entrance behavior
_level completion behavior
_losing a life behavior
_actors/sprites behavior
_Mario/Luigi behavior
_the tilesets/backgrounds/models/textures priority
_et cætera

I'm not taking into account the graphics themselves since this is the job of the VRAM to handle this.

There's probably a lot more that I forget but you get the picture, those behaviors needed to be coded, and then read by the game.
And how do you do that? Thanks to the arm9 and the overlays.

Your screenshot for level 2-1 made me think about something:
_you can choose which level will have a snowy end-of-level castle as seen in this video:

_open arm9.bin with NSMBeditor
_go to offset 0×1EF0
you should see this string:

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF 07 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

For example:
If you want to have a snowy castle in level 2-1, look at the course folder for the corresponding bgdat.bin (In this case all 3 who begin with B01).
Now look at the file ID (for B01_1_bgdat.bin it should be 942, 944 for B01_2_bgdat.bin and 946 for B01_3_bgdat.bin).
Subtract 900 to the file ID (942 here) and then divide the result by 2.
942-900=42
42/2=21

Then divide by 8, the result will give you the byte offset while the remainder (between 0 and 7) will give you the bit number for the byte specified by the result.
21/8=2 with a remainder of 5.

Look at the byte at offset 0×1EF0+2:
00

Use this site to convert from hex to binary, and from binary to hex:
http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/

Bits are read from right to left: 7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0
Since you need to set bit number 5 as 1, you get this: 00100000

If you do the same thing for file 944 and 946:
944
result:2, remainder:6
946
result:2, remainder:7

00100000 should become 11100000

Now convert from binary to hex: 11100000 should be E0 in hex.

Since this is byte number 2, insert E0 at offset 0×1EF0+byte number (in this case 2), which means you have to write E0 at offset 0×1EF2:

00 00 E0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF 07 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

And now if you try level 2-1, the end-of-level castle (whether it is the normal exit or the secret exit) should be snowy.

Anyone who uses my hack ROM as a base can use this trick.

For your first problem:

Firstly you have to make sure that the X-coordinate of the camera is 0 (the red rectangle in the screen below).

If not the level will refuse to load.

And secondly you have to make sure that the camera width is equal to: 256×2ⁿ
with n being a whole number whose first iteration is 0.

Here are all the possible values:
_256×2⁰ which is 256×1 whose result is 256
_256×2¹ which is 256×2 whose result is 512
_256×2² which is 256×4 whose result is 1 024
_256×2³ which is 256×8 whose result is 2 048
_256×2⁴ which is 256×16 whose result is 4 096
_256×2⁵ which is 256×32 whose result is 8 192

For your second problem:
Usually this happens when the entrance from where Mario is supposed to enter is located under the view, if that's the case just place the entrance inside the view.
Also the view setting for the entrance must be equal to the view number of the View from where you want to load the entrance.

If there's something not clear, don't hesitate to ask for clarifications

Also the 12 bottommost tiles become the 12 topmost tiles when the view is shifted downwards. In your example, since your zoom value is 18, the glitch happened because Toad went at least 9 tiles above the bottom of the View.

If anyone (more specifically

skawo) is interested in the possibility of having both Splunkins and Shy Guys in the same Area without any restrictions, then:

In arm9:
Paste the following at offset 0×1B00:

68 00 9F E5 00 10 A0 E3 55 20 00 EB 00 00 50 E3

82 DB 05 EA 08 00 96 E5 10 00 10 E3 70 00 A0 13
A4 00 A0 03 A5 DB 05 EA

In overlay 71:
At offset 0×2CF8: replace 011082E0 with 5225FAEA
At offset 0×2D68: replace 0210A0E3 with 3125FAEA
At offset 0×3078: replace 4C00A0E3 with 7624FAEA
At offset 0×3090: replace 4D00A0E3 with 7524FAEA
At offset 0×309C: replace 4E00A0E3 with 7724FAEA
At offset 0×313C: replace A400A0E3 with 5424FAEA
At offset 0×3630: replace 74009FE5 with EA22FAEA
At offset 0×363C: replace 6C009FE5 with EC22FAEA
At offset 0×3670: replace 3C009FE5 with E422FAEA
At offset 0×372C: replace 04D08DE2 with 8B22FAEA

Change all the A5070000, A6070000 and A7070000 as you see fit, according to the files you want to load.

How to use?
This code will read the sprite data of each instance of Sprite 284 (Splunkin), more specifically:
_If nybble 10 is odd, then this specimen will be a Shy Guy (or anything else you want);
_If nybble 10 is even, then this specimen will be a Splunkin.
Note that they can now both co-exist.

This is for US version.

So as I learned sprites 316 and 317 are not required to create a wavy background, setting the Animation ID of the BG of your choice to 2 is the only necessary condition.

BUT, the waves only work when they are :
_either directly behind Water, Lava, Poison Water, Unused jungle effect
_or if Sprite 316 is present in the View

To bypass this restriction:
On (decompressed) overlay 0, at offset 0×1913C replace 01A192E7 with 00A0A0E3.

Now you can use this effect to simulate for example a heat haze on desert backgrounds.
Note that you still have to use the Water, Lava or Poison Water sprite, but you can place it 5 to 8 tiles under the View.

Copy/paste in an empty file in Notepad++ and save as ****.s (for example blueshell.s).

Basically if you run at max speed, you have to press (and maintain) D-Pad_Down to get Mario rolling in his shell, otherwise he runs as he would without a shell.
Also Blue Shell's speed is increased under the effects of a Starman.

I know

skawo already did the Big Springboard-pickup fix, but not only does this one include skawo's fix, but it also includes 2 other bug fixes:
_Side collision for Small Springboard was fixed and will allow it to pass below a 1 tile high ceiling*
_Big Springboard no longer gets stuck in walls due to the Top and Bottom Collision being equal to 0

*What happened is that the Side Collision height was indeed the same as the Springboard's, but began at 3/16th of Springboard's height to end at 19/16th of said object height, hence the reason it wouldn't get through a 1 tile high passage!
Now the Side Collision begin at 1/16th of Springboard's height and ends at 15/16th of said object height's.

	MOV	R1, R1, LSR #0x1B		@"
	CMP	R1, #1				@Check if Power-up is Starman
	ADDNE	PC, PC, #0x18			@If the check fails go to the end of the function
	LDR	R3, =0x20D38C0
	LDRB	R1, [R0, #0x1C8]
	CMP	R1, #0				@Check if hitbox is set
	ADDNE	PC, PC, #4			@If yes then bypass address change
	CMP	R2, #0				@Check if Starman relative height is below 0
	LDRLT	R3, =0x20D3CBC			@If yes then change address in R3
	STR	R3, [R0, #0x53C]
	LDR	R3, [R0, #0xD4]
	LDR	R1, [R0, #0xE4]
	BX	LR

This little one will fix a bothersome glitch with the Starman.

If you ground-pound a Block/Brick containing a Starman, it will get spawned from below the Container, right?
But what happens if there's ground directly underneath the Container, such as there is no space between the ground and the Container?
Then the Starman will get thrown sideways, but unlike other power-ups who do the same, you won't be able to collect the Starman!
Guess what, this ASM hack fix exactly that, by making Mario able to collect even Starmen spawned that way.

MeroMero, all you've been doing for the past 2 weeks is writing ASM :p

And in actual assembly as well!

Almost, almost, but yeah pretty much.

This mod:
_makes Mario always enter and exit a vertical pipe exactly at the center to prevent Shell Mario's shell from being seen;
_makes Mario always enter and exit a horizontal pipe 1/8th of a tile higher to prevent Shell Mario's belly from being seen;
_fixes horizontal pipes' entry point to be the same no matter from where you try to enter said pipe, which is useful if you try to enter the pipe while standing on a vertical moving lift for example.

It's relatively simple, here's how you do it:
_open the .nsbca in the Hex Editor
_go to offset 0x1D, the byte there (noted N) will give you the number of animations in the .nsbca
_apply this formula (in hex) to find the address where is stored the first animation's offset:
0x30 + [(0xN - 0x1) × 0x4]

_each of the N addresses is 4 bytes long

Just swap the offsets you want and you're set.

This ASM Hack will activate only while Event ID 40 is active.
If Event ID 40 is set via a ?-Switch, then actors and timer will be frozen while the ?-Switch is active, and will resume their last action once the ?-Switch effect wears off.

Is French the only planned language? Spanish or English will do for me xD

About time I answer this

French is indeed the only planned language, considering that porting all the ASM mods I did would be too much of a hassle for me.

You would be surprised to hear that NSMB is not even my strongest suit when it comes to ASM Hacking.

My strongest suit is indeed Pokémon hacking, you will see why with some examples (4 out of 25) in the spoiler below:

Arceus is Fairy-type when holding a Pixie Plate:

Since those offsets are for French SoulSilver, you will need to tweak them a little if you want to use them for one of the other 13 versions.

This doesn't include the ASM Hacks that I did for Abilities, Type Chart, etc. that didn't need to be stored in arm9.

How I ported those ASM Hacks? Simply by using a version of NSMBe that I modified myself thanks to Visual Studio.
I would put the download link and tell what I changed exactly but before doing that I'm waiting for

Dirbaio to read the PM I sent to him.

beta 2.0

Fixed the quiet tune on map 108 (Route 45), a glitch that also occurs in the original versions.
Fixed Strength graphical glitch that also occurs in the original versions.
Fixed Facade graphical glitch that also occurs in the original versions.
Fixed Kris' frames when riding a bicycle to the left.
Fixed glitched Trainer names with 8 characters or more.
Fixed 4 mistakes on overlay 18 that made the game hang upon sending some Pokémon according to their abilities (thanks Asia81).
Routes 26, 27, 28, Tohjo Falls and Victory Road will always play the Johto versions of the Wild Pokémon theme and the VS Trainer theme.
Eevee can now evolve into Leafeon if leveled-up at Ilex Forest.
Eevee can now evolve into Glaceon if leveled-up at Ice Path.
Magneton and Nosepass can now evolve into Magnezone and Probopass respectively if leveled-up at Team Rocket HQ.
Pokémon that require a trade to evolve all gained an alternate method of evolution.
Vulpix is now Fire/Fairy type.
Persian is now Normal/Dark type.
Misdreavus and Mismagius are now Ghost/Fairy type.
Some Base Stats were upgraded to help some Pokémon perform better (for example Persian or Probopass).
Hidden Power can be Normal or Fairy type now as well, the Hidden Power NPC will notice this too.
Hidden Power no longer takes into account Speed to calculate the type.
SFX for some moves were altered to suit them better.
All 7 Fossils are available now at Ruins of Alph.
The timeframe window to react to a rod bite has been doubled to make up for to the game running at 60 FPS while fishing.
Females can now pass egg moves as well, eliminating all impossible egg moves combinations.
A new NPC, called the Egg Move Tutor, makes an appearance; as the name implies he is capable of teaching your Pokémon moves that normally it has to know from birth, but also level-up moves that only pre-evolutions can learn, and for some Pokémon moves that they have no other way to learn, but you'll have to spend a hefty 200 BP to pay for his services!
Having a Pokémon with the Ability Super Luck leading the party increases the likelihood of encountering a Shiny Pokémon.
Shiny generation from "forced shiny encounters" method was slightly altered to take into account the modified Shiny Rate.
Score calculation for the Bug-Catching Contest was modified to take into account shininess.
Opponents' Pokémon can be shiny now.
The number of possible seals combinations for opponents' Pokémon went up from 28 to 216.
Nature is now easy to customize for opposing Trainers' Pokémon.
Opponents can now have their Pokémon in any kind of Poké Ball.
IVs for opponents' Pokémon can be chosen from a pool of 64 combinations, most notably to capitalize on Hidden Power, Gyro Ball and Trick Room.
Ace Trainer Lois replaces Juggler Irwin in the Pokégear, you can set a rematch with her on Wednesday afternoons (10:00 to 19:59).
ASM hack to allow more than 737 trainers in-game (complete with text).
Battle Frontier Pokémon will always have an IV of 31 in all 6 stats.
You must get all 8 Johto badges in order, this means:
Chuck must be defeated before you can get the SecretPotion
Jasmine must be defeated to unlock Route 42
All 16 Gym Leaders teams got revamped, as well as those of the Elite 4, Lance and Red.
Continuity for opposing Trainers is preserved, by that I mean that the IVs, nature, shininess and gender of opposing Pokémon stay the same (for example Falkner's Pidgeot is canonically the same creature as when he was only a Pidgey).
Pokédex entries got upgraded to match those of Pokémon Crystal (001 to 251) and Pokémon B2W2 (past 251 whenever possible).
Gender will always be displayed, even for both Nidorans.
Castform and Cherrim alternate forms now display their respective icon during battles.
Castform's alternate forms now display their respective type when checked through the menu during battles.
A new item was created, the Evolutor, which when applied like an Evolutionary Stone to a Lv 100 Pokémon, allows it to evolve if it can do so!
Lv 100 Pokémon can gain EVs by fighting now, but they still need to be deposited in the PC for the stat gains to take fully effect.
Lugia and Ho-Oh Kimonos' cutscenes co-exist.

To-do:

Continue to expand the biotope to increase the versatility of team-building.
Continue to increase the levels of wild Pokémon to take into account the new difficulty curve.
Update the Pokédex locations (which can be done).
Continue to change the teams of opposing Trainers.
Change the Game Corner dialogue.

So, I wanted to get all the ASM Hacks out of the way, which is why I'm updating the download link now.
Some changes were in the way ASM Hacks are handled, most notably ASM Hacks that were previously stored in arm9 are now stored elsewhere, more precisely where the arenaoffs begins (or rather previously began, as now it has been pushed further).
That's because some glitches occurred like the Pokémon overworld icons that displayed the wrong Pokémon.
Also some new ASM Hacks were made, like for example the one that make EV training a Lv 100 Pokémon possible, and the one that allows the Evolutor to work fully.

Now that I got that out of the way, I can fully concentrate on the wild Pokémon and the Trainer teams!

Download link:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/lz83do1q3gc331b

The download link also contains a source folder with all the ASM Hacks that were previously stored in arm9.

I would like to take this opportunity to tell everyone that there are other good ASM Hackers out there, I think I contributed more than enough to nsmbhd.
By that I mean that I won't be taking ASM requests anymore for the time being.
I might answer one or two requests if I feel magnanimous enough, but don't hold your breath.

Preview of the next ASM Hack:

Something happened in this video that shouldn't be possible! Can you find it?

This is just a glimpse of what's coming, now that the first part is out of the way I can fully concentrate on the second part.
Tested on a NDS for good measure.

The ASM Code will be posted once it is fully completed.
Hint: I already foreshadowed what the ASM Hack would be about in one of my recent posts.

Tbh, as I already told

Hiccup, the sprite db in its current form pretty much outlived its usefulness if only for the fact that storing data as bits (1 to 48) instead of nybbles (1 to 12) would be more far more efficient.
And that's not taking into account that nybbles 1 to 4 will always be reserved for Event IDs, always.

To further strengthen my point, take for example nybbles 11-12 of Actors 278 (Water), 279 (Lava) and 281 (Poison Water):
In its current form the sprite db is unable to handle correctly both direction and speed, whereas if parameters were stored as bits instead, you could set bit 41 alone for the direction (0=Up, 1=Down), and bits 42-48 for speed (from 0 to 127) which is exactly how overlay 54 handles those settings for the aforementioned Actors.
Other examples include Actor 240 (Self activating block) where 32 choices are possible for the item selection, and Actors whose length/height is currently limited by a Modulo "something", indicating that the whole nybble is not needed/might not be enough.

This is the conversation I had with Hiccup on the subject:

Hiccup: If you had access to the sprite db, would you convert it into an actor db? Next time dirbaio comes online you should ask him

Me: That would require 3 things:
1°) Modifying NSMBe with Visual Studio to take into account the association Sprite<=>Actor thanks to that table in overlay 0.
2°) Then modify the spritedata.xml into an actordata.xml, I'm pretty sure you get what I mean there.
3°) Once both of these conditions are fulfilled, actually show Dirbaio the project and then ask him to change the sprite database into an actor database.
It has to be Dirbaio since that modification needs someone who have access to the SQL Database to change the column names as well as the associated SQL queries.

Hiccup: For now Iguess ishould reformat the thread to look less like a mess andmore like the sprdb

Me: Also, something I forgot, we should also ask Dirbaio to change the data setup for the database from nybble-wise to bit-wise. For example look at nybbles 10-11 for the Water and you'll see why bit-wise would be the logical way to go.

Hiccup: Indeed. Also, it should be nybbles 1-12, not 0-11, as that makes more sense and matches all the later NSMB game level editors

I want to prove to myself that I am capable of driving the project up to part 2, since part 3 involves requirements out of my control, and maybe that could also serve to prove that I can get something significant done for once that doesn't ends up in immediate failure.
Part 1 is already done, 2 is WIP, and 3 as I said pretty much falls on

Dirbaio.

Death by cuteness Karma: 6564 Posts: 578/598 Since: 05-01-13	Remember my Sprite 84 helper, if you put a zoom right above 32, you'll see what happens. Basically, if you put a scrapped width of 3 for example, the zoom won't take into account the 3 closest columns of tiles from each part of the Y-axis (in total 6 columns). Oh derp, I didn't touch Actor Sets names yet, but that can wait for the next update, for now I just want to chill a bit.
