Edit: I'm editing all my really big useless posts into this so you don't waste your time reading them. If I should just leave them how they are then tell me and I'll stop editing them, but I think it would be better to not waste room on the page and stop if someone tells me to, than leaving them here to be annoying.

I have something REALLY important to do (Finish my Super Metroid Hack.)

So you expect us (or at least me) to wait at least say......
1month - 4years? -_-'

Trust me I know. If you actually are serious about hacking this game I have a few recomidations.

0. Have a idea of your hack.
1. Start read some hex/ASM totorial.
2. Mess around in SMILE to find all the function. (Trust me there is a lot off them)
3. Join #jzd (irc) Drew and jathys are there.
4. If you need new sprites for your game. Download YY-chr or TLP or something ells like that.
5. Don't get mad that it take time to hack. <-(SMR took 3 years for Drew.)
6. Affter messing around in SMILE and know all hex and ASM you need time to start to work. Draw a map or something how you want your hack to look.
7. Try do the room from your drawing in smile to test and see if the room was good.
8. Affter some re doing and you know how you want your hack and it's made. Time to place enemys and fix your room so they look good. Also work on pallet or any re color of enemys or the suit.
9. Beta testing. Public or not you still need it.
10. Fix errors that the beta tester found.
11.realese and get famous. BUT stay on the Internet. People need help and will ask for it.

Now this is only kinda guide lines I set for my self. But I don't mind cheering them. Now move out and start the work mate! grin new

Then, we would have 100% in less than lets say... 5 minutes?

Couldn't you put Mother Brain in the 1st room with 2 Missile Packs, 3 Super Missile Packs, Charge, Plasma, Wave, Ice, Spazer and then make each item worth 10%

Anyway, its gonna be a larger map, less items (or just less e tanks)
and MAYBE a few custom enemies.
(I already have a Maridian Kraid, fake kraid recolored to blue, and of course, its in maridia, but thats edited, not custom)

As for the Hack :
I cant get Maridian Kraid to work, he just wont work, unlike the other enemies I used. (Norfair Mini Draygon and Ing (Yes, an Ing. o_O) FTW)

I could post a pic of Maridian Kraid if anyone wants to see it, but first I need to make him stop being lazy and attack me.

A few more things. Norfair Mini Draygon <- I'm not sure. But I think you can place him in another room then maradia.
Ing? Those black things in MP2? Or am I terribly wrong? Any way sprite
Work or did you actually code him? Kraid can't be placed out side his room. But the room can be moved. I'm not sure how well he work under water.
And yes I would like to see a pic of kraid and the Ing.
And I hope you actually are re-doing the whole map. And not just edit the rooms.

I don't wana be a pain in the *** but I relished that if you want to hack you need to go all way. Practically you have no limits if you know good ASM. Only one thing the game is 2D well maybe you can change that. But that be stupid. Then you should start on 64 engine instead. Any way I hope that I'm helping you with this.
Also if it soon is done. Why not release it on SCU to. I'm sure flamy and the other ones will like it.

ASM is the acronym for Assembly
SCU is another metroid Forum

I dont have enough time to double check this post, because I have something REALLY important to do (Finish my Super Metroid Hack.)
so it might not make any sence at all.
Once I am finished (or at least, for a while) I can fix the post. (if it needs fixing)

I'll be back. Maybe...

beams are limited in size, iirc. though you could get round that by making many sprites, like a beam shield, if you know the right ASM
