For the hill, these are issues related to block 2. That block determines whether the camera in a level is stuck to the bottom of the view or not, among other things. Do this to solve it:

- Make sure the view is big enough to cover all the hill. The camera will never pan out of the view.
- If that doesnt solve it, select a level where the camera is free (for example 2-3), and click Hex Edit. Select block 2, and copy the bunch of numbers.
- Go to your level, hex edit it, go to block 2, delete everything in it, paste the contents of the other block 2 and save.
- Delete any scroll control sprites in your level if you havent put it, they are limits in the camera that probably you dont want.

That way the camera in that level will be free.

Hi Dirbaio!

Thanks for your very detailed description of how to make things work for me, =) however, I have not yet have a chance to try it out since there is a crash in the level editor when I hit the hex editor button on the level that you specified for me.

here is the error code, i wonder if my computer is missing a component or something, I already .NET framework 2.0 sevicepack 2 installed:

Download 5.0a and extract the Be.Windows.Forms.HexBox.dll file from the archive to the directory that NSMBe is in. That should solve your problem

Thanks alot for the help Jceggbert5, and also great thanks to dirbaio, you two have made my levelediting life alot easier

Hi there!

I just wonder, why can't I slide down on my back down the hill slope in the level I just created??? I checked an official level to think it out but I didn't succed to get it work correctly?

I also wonder if it is possible to have an Enemy-in-pipe generator that spawns goombas in an horizontal pipe instead of a vertical one?

Thanks!

Hope it helps.

Well great thanks for your help, but since I am quite a n00b when it comes to Level-editing, I got no clue where in the editor I should enter that kind of information you so kindly shared to me! Is there a more complete documentation than the included readme file of the Editor, that covers more of its functions?

Sorry for these simple questions!

Thanks^^

EDIT: Well, I found the Tile-editing section, but it seems that it edits the tilesets which affects every level in the game that uses that edited tileset, what I do not understand then is why I could "slide on my back" in a official level (Like the Level 1-4 Area 1), but not on my own level (I created my level from a "tile and sprite deleted" L 1-1 Area 1, the original official level had unlike mine the slide function) when both of the levels was a part of the same rom-file and uses the same shared tileset? I have not made any changes at all to the affected tiles behaviour earlier in the level editing process?!?! =S=S Weird!=P

Thanks!

EDIT: Is it possible that the slide problem is corrected with some kind of Hex-edit modifications??? in that case, i really wonder which one, which "block" does what? Are there any documents or forum thread that covers this??=)

and for the documentations, no. NSMB editor is not very well documented. I was thinking about making some sort of help file that explains everything, but i'm too lazy, and i think it would not be that useful...

Okey, so you want me to send the whole rom as it is? Not just the exported level?

Its the rope in your level. Once you touch it, you can't slide on slopes anymore... Try to put the entrance in the slope: you can slide in it. But if you go back, touch the rope, and come back to the slope, you can't slide on it anymore...

Probably a bug in NSMB. Notice that all levels that use these ropes don't use the slopes.

Solution: Take out the rope or the slopes.

Hmm, well thats really strange! Thanks for figuring it out^^ IWonder if this bug is in all region versions of NSMB?
Well, I think I have to remove that rope then, sad because it is a great element of this game! =)

Good luck with further development, your editor rocks^^

Thanks gridatttack for your doc, it gave me useful information and also a link to the thread about the sprite-data, that was really useful, to bad the main spritedata-list isn't updated with all other discovered sprite-data that has been discovered by all you clever forum-users, I guess Treeki is to busy with nsmbWii editor for the moment maybe!=P

Have a nice day everyone!^^

And dirbaio, do you have any further plans for this great editor?=)

Well, thanks for the info, that sounds really nice, I hope you will have great success in the work of finding out how things work=) Good luck^^

Well, there is another "little" thing I'm wonder about!

When I started the creation of my level I added some "Koopa Paratroopas" into my level, it was then very easy and simple to change it's color and flying direction ect. which I was able to choose easily without manually edit the sprite-data (There was in other words a more user-friendly function added fot that sprite). But now when I'm edit the koopa paratroopas, there is no such options anymore available and you can only configuring their behaviour by manually enter the sprite-data. The same goes for the Bullet-Bill Launchers, before there was a user-friendly way to edit them, but it is not anymore. Is there a option I mistakely have turned off?

However, I have redownloading the editor to my computer since I started the creation of my level. The first version I downloaded of this editor was the one where dirbaio forgot to include the "Be.Windows.Forms.HexBox.dll" into the zip-file. In the first version I used of this fantastic editor, I remember I was able to use the more user-friendly way to edit the sprite-data.

When I saw he had updated the download with the "Be.Windows.Forms.HexBox.dll" into the zip-achive, I just redownloaded that updated Zip-file and unzipped it and overwrote it over my old Editor-files.
I cannot remember if was able to use the more user-friendly sprite-editing method after that, but maybe dirbaio included another version of the editor when he updated the zip-file with the Be.Windows.Forms.HexBox.dll, or maybe not. Correct me if I'm wrong!=P

EDIT: The version I got installed at the moment is version 5.1=P And if I'm not wrong I extracted it from the Zip-file called. "NSMBe5.1b.zip"

That file contains all data for all sprites. Check that you have it in the same dir than your editor, and that it is not empty. If that does not help, you can try downloading the old version that worked for you (you can find it on the google code thing, under deprecated downloads) and get its spritedata.txt.

Dont know if i missed it in the new zip. will try to look at it...

Well, thanks! Of course the problem was related to spritedata.txt, that file was missing, I must mistakely deleted it when I was about to delete some other exported levels that I stored in the same main directory. =P

Well, I'm sorry to bother you guys with another n00b question. It's related to how the entrances work.
I can't manage to get down into my green pipe even when I have prepared it nicely to take me to area 3 of my level with a correct target ID(area 3 which is still unmodified from the original level by nintendo, and yes I have checked the entrance settings in that area too!)

there is some things I wonder about:

- Why do the entrances (like the ones for the pipes) in the officially levels have THREE entrances instead of just one?=S

- Does it matter where on the pipe I put the entrance sign, will it work in any case?

- Does it matter if I use Tile number 102 or tile number 53 to create a green pipe that will be able to support the ability to add a entrance so you can enter it? Is there any differences beetween tile 102 and 53? Does it have something to do if the player will be able to destroy it as a gigant mario or not maybe!? In the official levels they have often combied those two tiles when making just one pipe!?

- What does the "entranceSetting16" mean?

Thanks for all your help you have gived me, I really appriceate it!^^

Thanks for your help both of you, it makes things more clearly for me! It was really useful to know about the use of the shift-key since the reason why things didn't worked for me was because a badly placed entrance, but now it works perfectly.=)
So the differences about 102 and 53 was just as I thought it was=)

Well, are there any documentation about how to use midway points correctly? I get a confirmation when I played the level that I have reached the midway point, and I had also added a new normal entrance just before the midway point, but when I die and restart the level I'm just starting from the beginning again?=P

Thanks for the help, the solution as you described was so embarrassing simple =S

Well, I don't really know if this is already discovered or not, but I would like to share my findings anyway since the editor state the affected settings as "Unknown":

"Unknown 6" setting of a "Path":
Specifies in which way mario will leave a pipe if the entrance and the target entrance(the one that mario will be leaving) are connected together in the same Area using the "Connected pipe" setting under the entrance options.
The ID of the path must match the "Connected Pipe ID" of the two entrances.

0 = Down(like mario came from a pipe that facing downwards)
1 = Right(Right facing pipe)
2 = UP (up facing pipe)
3 = Left(Leftfacing pipe)

I don't know if there are more values available for this setting

The officially Level 7-A is a good one to see how it works.

Hi everyone, here comes one simple question:

How do I change the background music of a level, I thought I have seen such option earlier or have I maybe been mistaken, since I can't be able to find it now? when I mean change music I don't mean how to compose new melodies, I mean how to change the background music to another existing kind of music from another level!!?

Thanks for your help^^

You can use different music for each view. Click the "Views" mode, select the view you want to change it for and choose a track from the options panel on the left.

Big thanks for your help Treeki^^
Well, I also wonder what kind of option the "Sound Set (hex)" option is, that is available under the level configuration menu!? =)

Due to the DS's limited memory, not all sounds can be loaded at once. Some sounds (like Dry Bones and such) need a different Sound Set setting in order to work properly.

This list has some of them: http://jul.rustedlogic.net/thread.php?id=6267

Thanks for the list, it answered another question I had why my bullet bill Launchers didn't sound at all.=)

Well, now I also got another problem, I have tried to enter a pipe from Area 3 of my level to Area 2, but However, as soon as I've enter it I got black screens and the music just freezes! I have checked the entrance options and everything seems fine, is there anyone who got similiar experiences like this???

Thanks^^

Check to make sure you don't have Sprite 0 anywhere (especially in the top left corner of the area) as it will make the game crash.

If that doesn't work, then you might want to get someone here who's more knowledgeable to look at the level.

Thanks for the tip, but I didn't have any sprite of that kind in my level. I exported my level-files than imported them again in a fresh copy of the game, but the problem is still there, it continues to crash when I try to enter area 2 from area 3 using a pipe entrance.=/

EDIT: Well, now I also had tried to replace Area 1 of level 1-2 with this custom problematic "Area 2 of Level 1-1". However, the game continues to crash as soon as I have pressed the A-button to start the 1-2 Level.=P
