>Hey dudes kykiskye is in the building heres a small guide to level making..
------How did this start?
A: Well I was very curious on how to make levels. So I tried to go in to the very 
smallb and small txt files itself in the small arena example folder to edit all the numbers
that coinside to the graphics seen on the stage.. If you dont realize that takes a huge
amount of time...and you guys know I'm lazy...Anyway Then I remembered something about 
mapeditors that export sprites from games to make maps for other misc. projects...
So I searched the web and with luck found a forum talking about this topic hehehe thats it...

------Can you use other tiles,sprites other than these mario ones?

A: No not at this time because if I'm correct Matkeupon included these sprites as SRC in the smashgp program 

Ok> whats in the zip Kykiskye?
Program Name: Mapwin411
Documentions: Blah,.... no read all of this....
Luascr
Pre-made: maps dont touch! For Now


Ok >open mapwin411
Im sure it works from win95 to XP
Well start on the BG -background if you didnt know hehehe ok.
>Go to Open file--> we are working on the smallb.FMP file just for Now
Then you are going to see the background sprites from the level small2
basically this is were its very easy do what ever you want......yea that easy.
Its a tile editor so pretty easy. Just Remember your background should always be 150x180, 
to change this go to map tools and click resize map.... but the docs really show you 
this anyway so I wont go in to it too much.
When your done save it and also export it as a txt file..
Goes ditto for the Foreground too
When you do your going to see a meun called TXTFILE
name the text file the same as you FMP. Insert name here-->BG.txt
					Insert name here-->FG.txt
Make sure color map and GBA (BGR555) is on
check cut unused fields
check this layer only
check Auto resolve BG
If checked, uncheck use const where applicable(recommended for GBA) 
Then click ok for both files The BG and the FG
This is the final step.... ok go to both txt files you have created for your 
level go in to them, go to the buttom of each of them you should see hex codes, delete everything that aren't
 in the patterns of {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, etc

if you see something like this {b80X7h36Xt68, etc delete it, it will always
 be at the bottom so not to much trouble......
and insert this at the top:

/* V1.3.24, please see mapwin.htm docs 'Exporting map for GBA'
 * for header defs and functions etc
 */

#include "gbamappy.h"

after this save them..... use the arenaedit program and your good to go.. looks like alot but
trust me your first level will be made in 1-5 minute. Depends on How much time and imagenation you put in to it..
peace out.....
