    I think the video is great, but i feel you really overuse map16 and should have explained object better...and first. Per example, you build your own checkpoints and goalpost when a simple search in the object list you can find one already built there. map16 is a nice tool, but you should always use the object list first especially for stuff like slopes.

      Hi Dexter! Unfortunately, it's a super lengthy and expensive process to get the original file. You have to get a physical copy of the SNES cartridge, and then extract it. I highly recommend joining an SMW ROM Hacking discord community for further instructions. I suggest joining the discord at smwcentral.net Lots of great people there who will point you in the right direction. :)

      ​@@yxzcs Okay so, at about 1:20 I show the 5 icons on the overworld that select different things. I am hoping it is the same in your version of Lunar Magic. Once you select the lakitu / Sprite Icon, you should be able to move Mario. The MOST IMPORTANT THING is that this change will not take effect until you start a new save file. When you start up your ROM, and you can choose to open file A, B, or C, make sure you are starting on a fresh file. You have to clear any files that already have data, even if it says "0". Let me know if that works!

      Hello Mr. Gaming! May I call you Luigi? I remember having this issue and I think it might be fixed by starting a new save file. (That solves most of my problems). Give it a try and lmk what happens. P.s. I still use this trick, in Google you can search what you're looking for but include "smwcentral" at the start, and you'll likely find forum posts of the same problem.

    • @DanOfMostTrades
      @DanOfMostTrades Рік тому

      Hi! Yes smwcentral is my favorite spot for resources. To find something, i usually go to google and type, for example, "smwcentral retry patch" and you'll get this link. www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=26078 it's the "with multiple checkpoints" which is optional. After applying this patch, you have to start on a new save file or it will not work. As for your FLIPS question, I'm sorry but I do not remember. It has been a long time for me since doing any ROM hack work. Good luck!

    So I'm trying to piece together a nice polished super Mario rom hack.... what I would like to know... If anyone could give me the right order of operations..... Patches.... custom music.....custom sprites.....copy...paste some already made levels... Does it matter? In which order should it be done?

    • @DanOfMostTrades
      @DanOfMostTrades Рік тому

      Hello! Most of the process is modular, so you can put it together any step of the way. For example, when installing a new patch like the Retry patch, the only thing you'll have to do is start a new Save File, and everything else can stay the same. Or, once you've imported music, you might have to restart Lunar Magic before you'll see the option to use that song on your level, but again everything else stays the same. You can even lay down your level design first, and then import the custom graphics. It would replace just the visuals.
