My bad, ASM code updated.

Be careful, upon applying any ASM patch that needs to modify overlay 0, the jyotyu tile behaviors will all revert to default settings.
What you should do is close NSMBe upon patching, then open it again and go to Jyotyu tileset to set back the Ice Snake Block behavior to 00 10 01 00.

I've thought of something: to make the snake blocks basically have the full function of the NSMB2 ones (AFAIK), they'd need to have a setting/value that means they never stop. Could you add that?

Last node behaviour: list at nybble 4: 0=Nothing (keeps shape),1=Falls apart (doesn't keep shape),2=Comes back and forth,3=Skyrockets (keeps shape),4=Falls apart (keeps shape). Game will freeze if N4 mod 8 is 5 or 6.

Sorry for the emphasis but you can already do that, unless you meant the Snake Blocks in W4-Castle at the beginning of the level who just go around in an endless loop instead of coming back and forth?

You're right, sorry. I guess that "loop" is the thing that is missing.

Yeah, if you can, you should add that. Even KingYoshi asked for that, at the end of the quote you posted in.

No pressure though, its not like you haven't contributed a bunch to NSMBDS hacking already.

Code updated!
http://nsmbhd.net/post/49596/

2 conditions to use the looping:
_First set nybble 4 to 5 or D.
_Second when creating the Path for the (Ice) Snake Blocks, the penultimate node must be at the same place than node 0, and the last node must be at the same place than node 1.

Tested on a NDS for good measure.

Thanks. These Snake Block mods alllow for a lot more new platforming mechanics.

Star Coins are worth 4000 points:
repl_02154C8C_ov_36: MOV R1, #6 BX LR


This is a porting of the code into ASM-Template format, but this is not the main topic behind my post, however:

This really seems like a perfect thing to ASM Hack to use separate palettes, you know. Wink Wink Nudge Nudge Poke Poke


Tested on a NDS.
Dedicated topic tomorrow, because right now I'm too tired due to the fact that NSMBe doesn't know how to handle .bncd files in 8bpp mode, pretty much forcing to edit the files the old-fashioned way (read: hex-editing).
I warn you, this is not quite what you would expect: while world-map icons no longer are restricted to 15 colors, they have to share the common 255 palette, this will be explained in detail.

Heh, for a second I thought you managed to load the actual models.

Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You know, my original plan was to transform the palette used for the icons into a 10x256 palette.
Everything worked, but there was one slight problem: the OAM for the Sub-screen sprites were still reading the original palette despite having their color depth bit set to 1.

I almost gave up but suddenly I realized what was wrong, I forgot to tell the game to set [­B]DISPCNT bit 31 at 1, which when set is what enables the Sub-screen OAM to read the Sub Extended palettes.

Now it might take a little while before the thread's ready.

I have a request for  MeroMero. Would you be able to fix some issues with Clone behavior, like Mario receiving bouncing effect when the Clone stomps an enemy, and Koopa Shells teleporting to Mario when picked up by the Clone?

It'll help make my Clone Tag Team games function much better, and you've proved yourself worthy of pretty much anything at this point!

I was wondering if someone who's good in ASM Hacking would want to take a look at code of the noFreeze ASM Hack for me, since there are some glitches when reaching the flagpole/beating the boss. Maybe it'd be possible to make something that disables the ASM hack in these events.

Thanks in advance.

I hate to be a pain, but I have a request to make, which I'm sure is an easy one.

Any way I can disable the L and R buttons only on the world map screens?

I have a request, if it's not much to ask for: make the player always play as Mario. I always wanted this patch (not that I like Mario most). Hope you can make it happen.
Also, in the patches list, there's two 8's and 9's.


These are just the first three requests I found that were implemented in the concerning thread's next post.

Turns out Dirbaio was wrong when he said this. :')

So don't ask if X thing is possible, it probably is. Don't ask for people to do it for you either: it's a lot of work and none will do it.

So if you really want X thing, go learn ASM hacking and do it. We will help you learn and we'll help you in your goal, as long as its you who's doing it.

First things first I managed to implement most of the changes you asked for, except for the Springboard…

1) Unlike other Actors that can be grabbed the Springboard has its own handler,
2) also unlike other grabbable Actors the Springboard fails in that it always thinks the original Mario is the one grabbing it
3) plus I would have to make the game be able to handle what would happen if 2 or more Mario's try to jump on the Springboard…
All in all it makes the Springboard too much of a hassle to make exceptions for… I'm sorry.

I don't remember if CTT or CTT2 have any area with both clones and springboards.
Apart for that Springboards still work as they should.


Second point: I know you didn't ask for that but I also made the 2 following codes:
_one for Luigi clones (you don't have to use this one since it might break CTT2 level design)
_fixed progress bar (this one you want to use)


Without further ado:

Clones fix :

Despite what you would think, this is simpler to do the power-up check on the Red Coins rather than on the Red Ring.
New data:
_Nybble 4: Power-up if Super Mario
_Nybble 5: Power-up if Mario is on a Stage 3 transformation

For the purposes of this mod, Mini-Mario is counted as a Stage 3 transformation.
Possible values:
_Nybble 4:
0: Fire Flower
1: Mini Mushroom
2: Blue Shell
3: Fire Flower
modulo 4

_Nybble 5:
0: 1-Up Mushroom
1: Starman
modulo 2

Note that Mega-Mario will trigger the 1-Up Mushroom regardless of nybble 5 settings!

It was like that on the original code, plus laziness of my part.
It will only take a few moments to add the 3 necessary lines.
