@messiaen-that would be appreciated, let me know if you figure anything out
@dudaw-those specific stars are linked to the messages that the toads say when you recieve them, aren't they? unless im an idiot, i couldn't seem to find those specific messages while using the text wrangler.
EDIT: Alright, i went back to the original, and using a save editor, found the messages that the toads use when they give you stars. I tried them in the castle grounds and courtyard, and they work fine. But success aside, there are only 3 stars that you can obtain like this. And let me be more clear on what happened when i tried placing normal stars in the grounds and courtyard. 1. when using stars 1 to 6, upon successfully collecting them, the game would either show me an error message, or mario would nod in place for a few moments, the screen would turn black, then after a few seconds, i could resume playing, but the stars weren't added to my total. 2. using stars 7 onwards, collected successfully, but still didn't get added to the total. Is there A) possibly a byte i could change in the rom to make those stars get added? B) a way to make other messages give you certain stars? not trying to pressure or push you ahead, messiaen, but if i can't figure this out, my hack pretty much stops dead  |
