Thanks!

I have some questions about Zelda hacking:

Can I insert more characters than the originals from Oracle of ages? If the answer is no, can I use the same character in different maps with a different text?
Is the text from the signs editable from ZOTE? Because I can´t find sign's text there...

(Sorry for my english, I'm spanish)
And thanks for this great application! I prefer Zelda Oracles Hacking Suite since I'm a beginner, but it has less options...

Sure, you can use TLP

Why is everyone using Tile Layer Pro, when better sprite editing programs, like YY-CHR, already exist?

That's a good question. TLP lacks so many features like opening a ROM with it and expecting TLP to load the ROM. But perhaps it's because it's popular, simple, and has a rememberable name, unlike YY-CHR.

Can you re-up the last version (1.26.1)?

Please!

I'm gonna add some stuff here, and I will update this from time to time as I discover stuff.
In areas where there are pushable blocks or stones (in caves and dungeons), there are usually six of those objects in a row.  In Area ID 54, for example, starting at Tile 18 in the tile selector, the order goes like this (reading from left to right):

1.  Pushable up only.
2.  Pushable right only.
3.  Pushable down only.
4.  Pushable left only.
5.  Pushable in all directions.
6.  Stationary (not pushable).

[Don't give to player until they have obtained the Seed Satchel!]

I'm gonna add some values for some more items that worked for me as I was fooling around with chest IDs and ZOCF.  Most of these require ZOCF to fix freeze issues.  I'll update this post if I discover any other values that aren't mentioned in Lin's post above.  Hopefully these will help.

(Yes, these are basically the Weapon IDs already mentioned in the Weapon List here, but I just put the chest IDs here for beginners anyway.)

0100     Shield (0100 = Level 1, 0101 = Level 2, etc.)
0300     Bombs (10)
0400     Cane of Somaria
0500     Sword (0500 = Level 1, 0501 = Level 2, etc.)
0600     Boomerang
0A00     Switch Hook (0A00 = Level 1, 0A01 = Level 2)
0C00     BigGoron Sword
0D00     Bombchus (10)
0E00     Strange Flute
0F00     Seed Shooter - Don't give to player until they have obtained the Seed Satchel!
1100     Harp of Ages
1500     Shovel
1600     Power Bracelet (1600 = Level 1, 1601 = Level 2, etc.)
1700     Roc's Feather
1900     Seed Satchel (Includes 20 Ember Seeds)
20XX     Depending on value of XX, 4 Ember Seeds or Gasha Seed
25XX     Harp of Ages (Value of XX determines what tune is included.)

Well, it has a lot of flaws. For starters, it's way too difficult.

I've noticed. I actually had to use a cheat code to deal with Boss 3.

There were some pretty terrible design choices. Second, it uses all old ZOLE stuff so down the line it would become harder to work with.

Guess I understand.

Third, we don't like the overworld.

I actually kinda like it.

Fourth, our skills regarding assembly and programming have greatly improved. We could do everything a lot better.

That's always a +.

That's really bad, because I see a lot of potential in this hack.
