Below is the old post. It has no meaning since the hack is now dead:

It's a hack in fine progress by me. It doesn't focus on the epicness that much, but my general idea is to make everything awesome.
It's coming out greaaatt especially since now I know how to edit the tile arrays (Thanks, Kej) and the new SMILE released. Below are a few videos of early development.
Intro.
Entry to Planet Awesome.
I suggest reading the descriptions to avoid confusion.
And what would a topic be without screenshots?
This is the now-edited Crateria landing site. It's missing one tile but it's barely noticable.
Also, Phantoon will be changed to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Now that'll be awesome or what.

Feel free to add suggestions but they must be AWESOME

Anywhere, everywhere

Chuck Norris is obviously an obligatory add-in.

Imagine this perfect scenario:

You're strolling down one of the corridors of the Wrecked Ship, spook music and all, and then suddenly out of nowhere the background is instantly replaced with the Burger King mascot with "What is Love" playing in the background at full blast. It would be awesome.

You should really see if you can edit the music like that.

WHAT IS LOVE!!
The above idea is perfect.

And by the way, Zebes looks really... awesome. :-D I'm waiting for this, please don't make it too hard or non-linear, it's supposed to be awesome.

Almost happy

Awesomeness got personified with that new zebes look. Also it surprises me that almost no one (if someone at all) have edited the intro text before. It's so awesome.

I personally don't enjoy reading any of that stuff more than once, so I probably won't be enjoying the intro when I play your hack(laughed when watching the vid). I think you maybe should have included some gameplay instead :o

If you actually could change the music, it would be really awesome if you could replace the Mother Brain battle theme with "Monster", or the music when you get hyper beam with "Dont stop me now", oh and the escape theme with "The Final Countdown". Awesome.

What about turning Space pirates into Daleks?

It's been explained a few times in this forum now. You cannot add different music because the SM music is in a specific kind of format that almost no other music files are in. Or something. :D

yeah but someone could spend months of free time to code an uber-crappy polyphonic version :D

Embarrasing Fact: Power suit made by lowest bidder

mp3's are a big no. But you could script a recognizable midi-esque version without too much trouble. I posted the demo of the first half Kraid's Hideout April 1st, remember?
More on topic, I think I now know how Dr. Frankenstein felt. Shocked

D: What no. Unless that's an April fools joke I don't get :<

Anyway, great ideas all, but try to keep it reasonable, no matter how awesome they are.
For one, I'd kill my own mother for that Burger King idea but the limitations are just too tight :(

Kej, you mentioned it, but I don't think you ever actually posted the IPS.

R. Sam: Wow, that looks... awesome! What tools did you use to edit the "Planet Zebes" screen? As for awesomeness, how about making the Spazer do something besides extra damage? Homing horizontal shots wouldn't be too awful to code, and it certainly seems that you're knowledgeable in that area.

I like Big Butts and I can not lie

Kej, how come you don't link to stuff like SPCRamMap.txt and OORTravel/FAQ.html on your space on drew's space on zophar

Meri Kurisumasu! ^_^

The morph ball sprite should be changed to a smiley too.

Almost happy

What would be truly awesome is if the morphball was a happy smileyface, but when low on health or taking damage a sad face. Awesomeness to the max.

Embarrasing Fact: Power suit made by lowest bidder

I posted an ips and xkas source file in a zip, IIRC. Both might be lost from when personal space was deleted though. Or they might be on zophar. Search my messages. >_<

Short answer: Same reason why Jathys doesn't work on help files.
Long answer: Because I linked them and asked for feedback, intending to update both so they'd be more usable but never did, and then it seemed like nobody was going to use them so I never got around to doing anything with them. Then people start asking about that sort of stuff later on anyways.

Talk about Yoshi's Story + Super Metroid. Looks interesting.

I used Tile Molester and a Hex Editor to edit the Planet Zebes screen. (Just editing graphics won't work, there's a tile issue that's probably a mistake on the developers' end and must be corrected with a Hex Editor)

Definitely added! I'm also planning on making the exploding Zebes to be a sad face.

Keep a lookout for the next update..!
