    Hello all, I was wondering if someone who is capable of boss editing(create custom bosses), perhaps teach me how to customize bosses in sonic 1 asm?. I have done quite a few things in asm, but never attempted boss editing until a few days ago. This is so i'll be able to do it on my own, instead of me pestering someone all the time when I want a custom boss. At the moment I want to customize the mz boss. And what I would like him to do is, each time he is moving left and right, to continuously drop fire balls.(not just when he stops either side) I sought of want him to move fairly quick left and right,(so he will go left off the screen then back right off the screen) while continuously droping fire balls. But i don't understand what the code is for the location of him droping it, how I would go about doing this and editing the boss moving left and right on and off the screen. If anyone could help me I would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not a master at Boss editing, but there is something I can tell you: Before you start doing Megah hypa creizy stuff (like Malevolence has done with the guide Armada linked to), you should try to do VERY simple things like more hits to defea him and his Velocity. I started off with choosing too much inhuman goals, but today I can manage with stuff.


    But, even I have a bit knowledge, I can't help you. I would help you, but I just know how to work the GHZ boss and not MZ. Sorry, but I hope this above told you something, to get how to start off. :)

    It would kinda help if I new what half of the code actually was. I mean I look at the code and I don't know what half of it is doing and why its doing it. I know how to increase and decrease boss counts and know a little on boss moving.(very little) This is really hard for me, and I know its not something thats going to be picked up on in a day.

    Well, could you repeat your goals for the MZ boss? Maybe I can do something, but I didn't understood your first post...

    Ok.... how would I put this....Right, in the simplest way I could explain it would be that, eggman will move left 'off' the screen(so you don't see him for like 1 second), then comes from the left and to the right of the screen going off the screen on the right side, ok so far?. And while he is doing this, he drops fire balls, and the delay will be like two seconds in between droping the fire balls. If you have ever played or seen 'sonic 1 brother trouble', its simular to that but fire balls instead of the ghz ball. I hope that helps expand on my explanation =).

    Its ok Selbi, I hope that in time i'll learn to edit the mz and others. On the other hand good news!, I'm starting to learn how to edit the ghz boss. Which for me the ghz code is easier to understand than the mz code. Anyways Im uploading a video of my slightly edited boss, its not much and I think a few people have done it before. I slightly edited the way he appears and the swinging ball object now swings in a circle. I'll post the link when the video has been uploaded.
