I managed to edit .spa files and it was easier than I thought.

Left one is original, right one is edited. It's a small edit but visible.
I can't deliver much information for now since I'm not sure they're right but I'll keep this updated.

.SPA Information:
HEADER:
0x00 Magic Stamp - 8 Bytes
0x08 Unknown - 2 Bytes
0x10 Amount of particles - 2 Bytes
0x12 Always 00 - 5 Bytes

_TPS:
Each particle image starts with the letters _TPS ( _ = Whitespace), 20 54 50 53 in HEX. Those letters are followed by information about the particle.
0x00 _TPS - 4 Bytes
0x04 Palette information - 2 Bytes
0x06 Smth. about visibility ingame ? - 2 Bytes ?

And what's this thread's purpose then? Brag that you got it working?

(I do encourage you to tinker and figure the format out. If you get a file format spec written I'll try to add support in NSMBe. But uh.)

The purpose is, to show that's possible to edit them and that we have progress
This is the only thing i can give you so far:

Header:
Magic Stamp 8 Bytes 0x00-7
Unknown 2 Bytes? 0x08-9
Amount of Entries 2 Bytes 0x10-11
Always Empty 5 Bytes 0x12-15

This thread should be remarked as a great leap in .spa hacking history!

Mkds editor? Lmao.

That shit is useless, it can only view it, and is very broken.

Actually his latest beta version can view them properly. Just like in-game.


EDIT: I edited first post and added the information I found.

According to some of your earlier posts, you seem to already know everything about those files. So why not sharing that information with us if you're gonna help anyway?

Well, so I already did a post on my hack but i will explain all again (I don't know everything, I know many things):
First of all, we need to know some of the comportament of this files, they are some images in a good part of the files 21 images, all the images are the same in all the files that start likes this: spl_bxx_xxx.spa, just some palletes work on this images like: We have one file with 21 images just some images will have the right pallete.
The second thing we need to know is that try to edit with the hex in my opnion is a little confuse, possible but confuse.
I tried to do some edits on the hex but it doesnt work.

You laugh, but it actually supports importing some stuff better than NSMBe, especially NSBMTXes and NSBMDs (and textures)
