I also couldn't download the 0.50 version. I'm using 0.30 so can you send me the 0.45 version?

Then maybe I could add even more features in the rooms...

Since I have Tile Molester 0.15 and I have fully mastered Row-Interleaving and other kinds of graphic hacking options, could I try to hack some of the game's Graphics?
For rather big changes, I can hack:
-Samus's Ship
-Kraid's Arms
-Crocomire
-Every item
-Spore Spawn
-Botwoon
-Samus's beams (*)
-Explosions
-Samus's death animation sequence
-Fake Kraid
-Metroids (Larva, Normal, Maridia, and The big one)
-Etecoons and Dachora
-Most of the enemies
-Chozo
-Fighter Pirates
-Torizo
-Ridley
-Draygon (*2)
-Sand Chozo (*3)
-Samus's Items names
-Game Font
-Map screen objects
-Noob tube crack and the broken glass pieces

And more, If I find new codecs.

(*) = The beam edits cannot exceed their intial size, so you can forget about "The über giant beam that will kill everything".
Here are some of the stats:
Power beam = One pose, 16x16
Ice Beam = 3 Poses, 16x16
I don't remember the others, but I can check it out. (Right now I'm too lazy :P)

(*2) = Well, Only its Claws, and the whipping thingy, because they're the only parts of Darygon that actually have animated tiles.
The Graphics are scrambled, so I could actually edit Draygon's body itself, if I find it from the depths of the messy graphics.
Same goes for Kraid.

(*3) = Sand Chozo is a funny little fellow. It has only 2 poses. The one when It's untouched, and the one when It's just a pile of sand.
So basically, the game thinks: "When Sand Chozo is touched by Samus, make it transform magically into the sand pile".
So in a nutshell, I only have to do 2 things: Edit the intial pose, and the pose that it will Become after it's touched.

There will, of course be minor problems with the palettes, but that can be fixed with either SMILE, or SABS.
Whaddya say pal? :)

To be honest I would rather like to keep the original graphics for the hack. My purpose is to make it harder without too many graphic manipulations for now also because of the additional bugs that could appear there.

But if you want you can make some changes on the original ROM and post a ips-patch for it somewhere. If the new graphics are good, then maybe I would change my mind later.

Okay then. Thanks anyway.

I would like to download smile 0.45 too. But unfortunatly the download just gave me the file download.php. Since that file doesn't have any use I simply cant use smile 0.45.

to get back to the main topic typ:

That is a good point. How much longer will it all take?

Saturn

2005-10-03 10:00:16 am

To be honest longer than I thought first :-(

I recently got new ideas and hints and there is still much to edit/test. It will take at least 2 more weeks since I don't have too much time now. My exams start next month and I have to learn for them. Not much time to hack at the moment, but I will do what I can.

Saturn

2005-10-04 01:21:39 pm

Not much time for moviemaking currently. I will sure do some next year maybe :-)

Saturn

2005-10-05 04:06:44 pm

Not much. I checked some rooms again but the progress is not bigger than 5% to the last version/backup for now.

Either triple posting has just been invented, or someone has been spamming a lot and got their posts deleted.

Back to the subject, as long as you have an emu, can anyone hack them and change them? Or do you need some sort of special program?

using something like SMILE hacks the rom and u would distrubute it (illegal) so what most people do is use a program called IPSWIN so they can have people Patch the rom themselvs and it becomes legal to distrubute.

Thanks for the info. I'll make sure it's all legal.

For the love of all that is holy, spell out "you". You will be banned if you keep this up.

A quote from Planet Zebeth there from Yoshi, I believe.

Errrr...can you ban someone form saying "u" instead of "you"? Only it seems kinda minor. Not that I have any sort of experience at moderating forums myself, but...

No, actually. It's not like that's a very unique quote at all.

And we can ban people for not bloody listening when they're told.

Ah, I see.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand! I need to get SMILE! How do I do this, are there system requirements for said program, and does said program cost money?

in the name of justice!

They own the forum. People I've seen on other forums have been banned for less.

The funniest banning I've ever seen was one where the guy couldn't just IP ban, so instead he just hid all the guy's posts to all other users. And the guy never noticed that nobody was actually replying to his posts...

I think it's at Dragon Eye Studios. And yes it's free.
