Hello again!
This is basically just a part of the big thread about this topic, because its my personal fav out of the suggested mappist formats and i see a lot of recurring approval from other people as well.

(hey puke, i know we already had a discussion about this, but afair your only point was that youre not interested enough in that format, so its not entirely out of question..? thats why im asking again. (and again (and again, until you say yes (or no))))



LunarMagic / Super Mario World
file types - .bps .ips

Website

Using Lunar Magic to create custom rom hacks of Super Mario World. Lunar Magic is completely free and able to load the Super Mario World Rom File. Getting the SMW Rom itself is fairly easy... searching for "smwOrig.smc" on Google gives a lot of results. (Using the (US) Version is recommended)
Since uploading the Rom itself might not be completely legal, it is recommended to use the tool FLIPS

to create a patch file (.bps) and upload that. (patches are legal)
(Older patch-files uses .ips extension)
Everyone else can then use this patch file with the smw-rom to create the working and customized rom, which can be played on a snes-emulator like ZSNES or Snes9x or on real hardware if you have... things to make it work lol.

The format allows n00bs to create their own levels (for OHBs) and also complete games! (for majors). You cannot only do level design, but also pixelist and composing work (because you're able to also change palettes and soundtrack). It also fits within the other botb-formats and the idea of "bits"-battles because... the game is old!! >:)

brand new to this but I see amazing potential and much fun!

i approve of this and support this (also dont use zsnes)

You have my pigeon armies full support!

this looks exciting as fuck, have to try that editor!

edit: not very easy to handle though!

A format that explicitly, or implicitly, tells the botbr "here, go steal this thing"

This n00b ashamed of what written.

great for collabs

Sounds cool

channel f needs the rom files, mt32 needs the rom files
you just dont share them on the site, because thats uncool. patch files work perfectly, i see no problem here at all

Would be cool if it turns into an official format, i could start using lunar magic again :D (i dont use lunar since 2018...laziness :P).

lunar magic is super mario maker before super mario maker
would be cool to try out the levels made in battles

ahh yes its the bump

i would have a blast doin this

huge support, this looks fun as heck

maps for games in general would be nice format choice

(pssst keffie, put all ur ideas and suggestions that arent smw here pls)
c:

we honestly do need something like this, smw maps are just as popular as doom wads afaik, if not more
i think the only guidelines would be that (since this is basically going onto a full rom instead of being a standalone engine) the level should replace yoshi's island 1 or 2 (or yoshi's house) if you're doing it for an ohb
other than that, anything's free game i would say

I am here to bump this thread! Super Mario World map mods sounds fun for me as a format! I find myself going back to play at a Super Mario series video game every other while, and I would benefit from playing at entries submitted here, from!

Challenge accepted, but it's midnight in my timezone so I'll work on it tomorrow. However, can't promise I'll do something complete, but the battle format is definitely interesting x)

I won't be using this citing a platform incompatibility with Lunar Magic. As a matter of fact, I had only barely worked on AddmusicK at around the time of the initial proposal (and hadn't compiled it yet). But... yes, I am working on a fork of AddmusicK called AddmusicKFF

at the moment for this very format. Thus, consider me to be a supporting player in that regard.

Also, it's C3 over at SMWCentral right about now! Interesting coincidence!

sorry asking, but what about also other cross-rom-hacking map editors like this? https://emulicious.net/kidded/ (i have no idea about how many different editors like this exists)

can you use asar though? (i used to hack smw so i have a lot of knoledge)

Given video games may span over various field: Perhaps a format subset system, featuring a subset of the format awarding mappist points, suggesting use of Lunar Magic; a subset of, awarding hackist points publicly, suggesting use of asar; a subset of, awarding chipist points, suggesting use of AddmusicK; and a subset of, awarding pixelist points, suggesting use of YY-CHR; may more accurately reward who submit a patch for, that creates different kinds of content, that may be featured on.

ITS BEEN ADDED AAAAAA PUKE YOU MAGICIAN!!!
