I think this should be changed to "Tiles to scroll past 12". Or something similar.

What this does is the value you enter is tiles the camera can go above the DS screen height. That being 12. So if you enter 1, the camera can scroll in a 13 tile range. Entering 15 will allow it to loop endlessly as it leads to the next screen above.

Also this needs to be changed to a single nybble. Because anything after is redundant. 15+ is endless.

Same thing is true of the camera bottom offset special.

This is used for climbing, getting shot in a pipe cannon, etc. Anytime something makes Mario move up with a sprite. Maybe this should be changed to something like "Sprite Tiles to scroll past 12". I don't know...can't think of something short that explains it...

Hmm, yes. I agree that the name is confusing. Though "tiles to scroll" is weird too...

Maybe something like "Vertical scroll length"?

And yeah, maybe add a field and a checkbox, the checkbox makes the field set to 15

There are values in between. 1 to 14 are tiles above the DS screen. So they are counted until you reach 15 when it goes endless loop.

I meant the text box AND a checkbox.
This way users will know that 15 is infinite
