| the order object instances are in their respective array defines their location in the levels' "grid". object instances can be half-way between two "grid points" - they don't have to fit 1:1 with a "square".
| |
| | |
| background, titleset and music is per world, not per level.
| |
| the tile "patterns" used for each world are in the floorXX_patterns.bin files (where XX is the world id)
| |
| | |
| | |
| 0x0-0x35 seems to be a header or array of dummy/control objects.
| |
| | |
| | |
| starting at 0x30, at the latest, is the array of interactive objects. the last instance in this array in 1-1 seems to be at 0x7B6.
| |
| instances are pairs of bytes. first byte is object type. second byte is parameter.

| object types:

| 01 = nothing?

| B3 = nothing?
| |
| B4 = starman powerup
| |
| unused, but haven't checked if its offscreen in some level or anything
| |
| no obvious parameters
| |
| B4 = bouncing fireball
| |
| maybe the one spawned by fire mario. don't know if its placed in a level or not.

| ==VGamer78's Notes==
| |
| ===Level 1-9===
| |
| <pre>
| |
| Alright so we will be look at 1-9 as a guide. As of right now, I barely know anything but I will tell
| |
| you what I have learned so far.
| |
| | |
| The first few lines of code I believe is the header data for the level. The only thing I understand from it
| |
| so far is the sprite data. In level 1-9 you should see some lines of code in a hex editor that look like this :
| |
| | |
| 03 00 00 00 96 00 00 00 9C 00 00 00 A6 00 00 00 AE 00 00 00 B5 00 00 00
| |
| | |
| All of this is the sprite data in the level. If the sprite you are trying to put in a level isn't one
| |
| of these values, the sprite will be invisible in the level. It seems like the sprite values count in 8
| |
| bytes. Meaning the six 0's after each value has to be that way. In case if you are wondering what each value
| |
| is.
| |
| | |
| 03 is for Mini Mario
| |
| 96 is for the elevator platform itself (yes it's a sprite)
| |
| 9C is for Shy Guy's
| |
| A6 is for Hammers
| |
| AE is for Toss/Circus Kong
| |
| B5 is for the Yellow Springboard
| |
| | |
| | |
| As of right now, I don't know how you can add more sprite data to a level since what I have tried has
| |
| crashed the game so far. But we will be looking at two things you can do if you want to edit the sprites.
| |
| After the header data, you will see a bunch of 00's. All of this is where the sprites are stored in levels.
| |
| This is usually very long and will go on until you see things such as 1B a few 00's and then 1B again and so on.
| |
| For how sprites work in the levels themselves all I know is that it goes by XX (sprite number itself) and the value
| |
| after that is it's facing position. 00 is facing right and 80 is facing left. When scrolling in the level data
| |
| for 1-9, the first sprite you should find is is A6 00, which is the hammer powerup. If we were to change
| |
| this to 9C 00, it will become a Shy Guy. We could also use this sprite as a guide if we wanted to add
| |
| another sprite next to it in a level. The 00 00's next to this can have sprites on them, they just are empty.
| |
| You will notice that all of the levels in the sprite section of the data has a lot of 00 00's since all levels
| |
| have more sprite positions without sprites instead of vice versa.
| |
| | |
| If we want to add a sprite from another level here, we are able to but there are things we need to consider.
| |
| The method we will have to do is replace a sprite slot with the one we want. If we want to replace the
| |
| Circus/Toss Kong with the Capture Kong in the level. What we would need to do is change the AE 00 00 00
| |
| to B2 00 00 00 in the sprite header data section. When we do this the Circus/Toss Kong's in the level will
| |
| now be invisible if we were to test the level. What we could do is either get rid of the Circus/Toss Kong's
| |
| in the level or replace them with Capture Kong's.
