OMG!!! IM SO EXCITED! I DID SOMETHING! I PLACED A SPRITE!!

Now you're on the road to Viridian City!

Good job! Now try MML: DATA":0@1L8CDEFGABO5C"

K

Brandon@ Syntax error :/

I think you missed a quotation mark at the end.

Still nothing even though i missed quotation mark.

What am I doing wrong?

Uhm, dude why are you trying to write code in DIRECT mode, most things wont work, hit EDIT mode then try again. ;) Also (SPSET 0,0,8) then try (SPSET 0,0,16)

Gah! Nothing! I wont give up though!

Btw, every time i learn how to do something, I write the instructions on how to do that! Im taking notes basically, its a good idea!

Anyways, how would i put a background i created in the program? Tell me step by step so i can write it! Thx

Don't actually type MML. I was just giving the name of the feature. Just type: BGMPLAY":0L8@12CDEFG"

Nice! Sorry I meant try those separately. The syntax is SPSET ID#, then the next two numbers actually define where the sprite is on the sheet. So SPSET 0,0,8. spofs 0 will always refer to that sprite. If you want more then go SPSET 1,0,8 for the next one. So spofs 1,X,Y will refer to that one.

Also yay for not giving up! I haven't gotten into BG's yet sry. Try BGFILL and BGPUT then hit the ? mark.

YES! NOW I HAVE MUSIC! Ima write that in notes. Thx Aaron and Brandon for helping me! Im not done though XD looks like i found my "teachers"

This is the map i need for background. The grass/dirt will be walked on. The sky is not going to be anything but background. If i messed up anything tell me.

Other part for analyzing for errors.

nvm i got the background color! Now i need to know how to put a section of dirt here on the bottom, and have the dirt to where my character will stand on it & not fall through.

like this #610: 1 tile high on the 642 tiles. #642: 4 tiles high and going across at bottom.

like this

Ya'll are still helping me right?

Sorry it took me so long! Use the BGFILL command. I think the syntax for it is BGFILL 0,0,50,1000,1000,tile#

Its ok.

Did it work?

Nope

There was no error, but it just doesn't appear.

Sorry, I'm not on miiverse often. You can type in BGFILL and hit the magnifying glass at the top right to look at the command's syntax (how to use a command)

Its good! While you were away, I learned how to make controls :0! Thats it though

Very good! I'm assuming you learned reccursion (i.e. @PLACE GOTO @PLACE)

Uhh yes? no? Ill post a screenshot when I get on.I've been playing ALOT of Terraria.

Okay. Just a little tip, though: When placing a sprite, its ID doesn't need the zeros in front of it. For instance, 4 instead of 0004
