Yeah, SVN head is safe. It just has some more unfinished features, but the rest of the editor is stable.
For your block, i don't know what's going on. I see you used one of the first tiles in the Map16. I'm not sure if those are safe to use (i think they have special hard-coded behaviors or such). Why don't you try to put it more towards the bottom (for example, at those X's) ?
Some of those Xs have behaviours already, so I didn't dare edit them.
But thanks, I'll try that. |

New problem;
using sprite 187 (Manual Control Platform) (the one with arrows, and moves in that direction you stand on), when I hit where those gridlines (in the editor) are in game, it stops scrolling.
Help? (It works normally if I walk!)
EDIT: Nevermind. For those that have the same problem, make sure the adjacent grid-square has something in it (like a brick or something.) http://jul.rustedlogic.net/thread.php?pid=148932#148932 |

Hi, thanks for uploading to mediafire.
Filefactory sucks. Anyway, I might play it today or tomorrow (with cheats if you don't mind :p)
After that I'm gonna check out how to destroy blocks using ? switch.
Thanks. |

No, it should be fine to trim; trimmers only remove free space (i.e the same free space that NSMBe uses to put files that are too big into.)
But if you trim the ROM, all the free space would be trimmed, so everything that NSMBe needs to move would be tacked onto the end of the ROM. |

Never, ever distribute the ROM itself.
Distribute an IPS patch against the previous version, and/or the original ROM.
That'll make sure you don't violate any legal stuff. |

Two questions.
1. I think I read somewhere that the world 8-FC 'up, down, middle' quiz is hardcoded into the game; is this correct?
2. Is is possible to have levels flipping over like in world 8-FC? (using a ? switch, activates some funny activator ID) |

Views are organized in pairs. one is normal and the other is upside-down. One of them has one special byte set i think. Probably you have to be in the center of the view, and hit that switch, which will make the rotating effect, and will teleport you to the other corresponding view, so it looks like everything is rotated.
For the castle loops... I'm not sure. There are some sprites, so it's not completely hard-coded. You could try looking at their data and figuring it out.
I wanted to try that.. but
the activator ID is like 35/36/37, and I don't know what has that activator ID, or how to calculate that activator ID, or if the activator ID is in another block (data block, not object or sprite), etc
Lemme try it anyway. |

Some activator ID's may have hard-coded effects. I saw somewhere a hard-coded activator number would make the blue coins effect seen in world 7-sth, without other sprites than the ?-switch
Maybe 36 rotates between views 0-1, 37 between 2-3, etc...
The flipped side of the view has no view assigned to it (it's outside of any view) |

It would be cool. what do you think?
It'd be most easily done in ASP.NET. Why? Because the editor is written in C# :p
I can do it. (You'd need to find a host, though, or have your own server (with apache or IIS) and install mod_mono (if apache)) |

Yeah, but we dont need to port the whole editor...
Just a small script that creates a patch from a set of files. Wouldnt be hard.
I'm looking at it, but it's definitely possible.
No porting is needed, since ASP.NET supports C#.
Just rip the patch generation part. |

If anyone wants, I'll write the little site now.
Just one thing though; do you want ROM patches or level files? |

Something is wrong with your newest patch (20 march)...
It white screens on my AceKard 2.1 (completely freezes, softreset doesn't work), gets to the Nintendo logo after a wait and crashes (with No$GBA fatal error) in No$GBA, and on DeSmuME, it gets to the Nintendo logo after a LONG wait, passes to the main menu, and freezes once I hit "Mario Game" (top screen background jumbles up).
Patching on a supposedly clean rom. Tried patching using both 5.1b and SVN head.
No$GBA
DeSmuME

I have made a new patch but whan I repatch the original used for the patch it still crash. Strange.
I will see if I can make it work.
Why don't you use a xdelta patch instead? Until this bug, whatever it is, gets fixed |

No, those are dumb reasons.
Firstly, a Mac DOES have the Control key. Look carefully.
2. Why don't you want your HDD messed with? It's even supported by Apple! You can always uninstall it. It doesn't touch your Mac partition.
Dirbaio: Does it work in Linux, if yes, then it should work fine on Mac as well... |

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.
Didn't frjd specifically tell us to use an (E) rom?
Why does that crash? |

can you please help me?
You're using level 1-1. right?
Go hex edit level 1-2 (or any level that can freely scroll any direction), select block 2.
Now copy everything in the hex textbox and paste it into level 1-1's block 2. |

Are you on a DS Phat or Lite/DSi/XL?
In the Lite and above Nintendo added some sort of checksum to prevent people hacking the download play.
Seems like that's what you're getting. |
