Hey you two, just because you have a thread for the project doesn't mean you two should just back and forth post like you are. Most everything you've discussed in the last couple pages could and should go in PMs. Use the thread for actual updates and progress, not planning and talking between yourselves. Thanks.

I just made a huge (at least, it's huge to me) discovery!!!
Using a glitch in NSMB's programming, I got Bowser to work in the Tower!!! (I am still testing stability though...)

Okay Garmichael take it easy. Lol, gee and I tried to be polite here. When I called myself level designer I wasn't referring to myself as a hacker. I'm a lazy fucker, with a certain ambition to create challenging levels, and most people work this way. Obviously you hackers are spending too much time with the computers and too little time with other people, learning social codes rather than data codes or what not. I'm not gonna get myself involved into this obsession now. I have my own goals what I want to accomplish. But I did put forward a question, aswell as a request.

"And trust me, the 'I want to see the sprites graphics instead of a blue box' idea has been mentioned quite a few times, and each time, there's a response to it."

Then it's strange that you haven't attended to that problem, yet it's the 5.1 update now. I don't care if other people have mentioned the same idea. You don't address the issue here Garmichael, but you did with the 3D issue. In fact you had no problem with providing me with a titanic rant concerning it, that I naturally can't make out. And that's my problem; you're into the hacking but you can't reform your hacking into something more practical.

"There is always a certain amount of scripting to be done, a certain amount of variable tweekage, and a certain amount of technical do's and dont's that you need to be aware of to make a solid level that will actually run well within the game. While there are some tricky aspects to this editor, its one of the easiest to use editors I have ever used.

As a designer, you need to get over your mental block that refuses to let you get your hands dirty. Anything worth doing is worth learning to do. "

And that is life. I'm not stupid mate. But it doesn't work as an excuse for not developing a decent operative system. Such as making an archive for the sprites. If you can code the sprites you can sort them. Why do you argue about this? Why making things hard on yourself?

Being able to save sprites with a specific data written in them, separated from other sprites with the same number but different data. For example, I could make my own map and label it "koopa troopas" and have normal koopas and paratroopas in there with all colors, aswell as a bunch of green koopa paratroopas that all have the specific data written in them already; green koopa paratroopa A flies horizontal, green koopa paratroopa B flies vertical. And I don't have to adjust their programming for each example because it's already been done and archived. Just open your own file, and drag your pre-designed sprite where you want it. Not just easier way of editing, viciously constructive!

Hotkeys, shortcuts to open menues

---

---

Being able to use all possible tilesets in the same area (maybe that is a difficulty, I'll say it anyway)

---

---

Resize areas. Decide length and height in the levels.

Alright Dialga, just to answer the one with hotkeys, the point with it is to work faster. I want to use my mouse AND keyboard when operating. Convenience. Why fly the mouse pointer across the screen here and there to go into windows and so forth. Minimize wasted time with hotkeys.

What an outstanding editor you guys have created, it's very good, atleast the features I currently have been using =) I'm very impressed^^ Keep up the nice work!^^

Well, I'm very new when it comes to level editing and stuff. I have made my first test level, just the very first part of it.
However, how do I make mario so he is in the center of the camera all the time! At first I thought it was the "view option" that was the only thing that had to be changed, but that seems to just affect the area that mario can visit in the level, not how the camera scrolls thru the level (please correct any misunderstandings). In my level, mario dissapear above the tallest hill, and then he comes down again on the other side of the hill, so how do I make the Camera always center Mario? I have not succeded with the camera options either.

I also wonder what the "zone-feature" is for? What is a Zone?

Lastly I wonder why the game-icon and the header of the game (name of the developer ect.) seems to be destroyed when I apply my changes to the rom-file (E)-version

I hope these questions does not sound to n00bish to be worth answering!=P

Have a nice day everyone!^^

I request two functions:

1. Copy and Paste objects.
2. A button where it says "New Object" and when i click on the button i can select a object that i want to place on the map.

P.S Great Level Editor So Far. =D

yeah, those gfx glitches need fix.
However i think that these few tiles dont fit in my grassland tileset which you used. A hint: you can put only the new 8x8 tiles in it, and in the Map16 build the 16x16 tiles...

Maybe it'd be cool to have a feature to import Map16 directly, which would do a "tile-ification" like the BG importing...

You haven't experienced buggy until you've played with 3.1 x64 test builds.

Crashes every couple moments, plugins don't work right, refuses to install normally, has alzheimers, and regularly fills up all the memory, then crashes.
