You can send me the patch, and i'll try to see whether it's a bug in the editor or not, and help you fix it.

I see what's wrong. It's ANOTHER bug in the patching feature of the editor... I'm so sorry... I think i'll just remove it, and somehow implement xdelta support into the editor, sth like xdeltaUI. The patching was a very good idea in practice: patch by filename, so patches would be cross-region, but in practice it's shit. It's unable to handle cross-region patches for stuff like the overlays and the game binaries. (Overlay 0 is what causes the crash) because those are different for each region. So the cross-regionness is over. There's no benefit from using NSMB Editor patches. Xdelta is better. Conclusion: frjd (and everybody else), use an xdelta patch to distribute your hack
Sorry. |

Originally posted by dirbaio Thanks. That a pity it was such an easy way to make/use a patch :-( The "Export Level" make very small files. (but dont save tileset and other?) I have tried to compare a modifyed rom with a org rom and see how much different bytes there are. It is for my springboard mario 2.788.932 bytes. About the same size as the current patch file. Guess we need to store these different bytes and where in the file to put them. Would that not be fairly easy to add to the editor? |

Originally posted by frjdOriginally posted by dirbaio Well no, because that's what it does now. The problem is putting it where it's meant to go, because if you use offsets, they're different in different regions, and if you use filenames it crashes (didn't understand why). |

| A working patch file is now to be found in the first post.
I used PPF as it seems to be used by other NSMB hacks also and a quick look at xdelta did not provide much usage informtion. |

| Well...
Editing the jyoytu tileset causes Overlay 0 to be decompressed. To decompress it, it actually decompresses the file, but it also sets a flag in the overlay table that tells NSMB that the overlay isn't compressed. The problem is that when you export the patch, NSMBe sees that the overlay has changed, but it doesnt' include the flag. So when you apply it to a clean rom, the result is a decompressed overlay, but without that flag set. The result is that NSMB tries to decompress the already decompressed overlay, and fails. Having files that require special handling when importing and exporting is too bad for the patcher. I can't include the whole overlay table, because it also contains offsets that might be different, but i have to somehow handle the compression flag. This is condamned to be too buggy and inflexible. |

| Is it possible to make the editor re-compress any decompressed overlays right after it patches the game? |

| well... It IS possible but it is going to be very hard to get a bug-less patching. Binary raw patching like Xdelta is better... |
