Lunar Magic (SNES utility - Super Mario World editor) has been updated to version 1.40. Here's what's new:
  • Added two new editing modes and several dialogs to the overworld editor for editing layer 1.
  • A far better method of keeping track of used areas in the expanded portion of the ROM has been implemented.Added unofficial support for JW's tile set specific animated tile modification.
  • A new option in the view menu can enable tile animation in the editor to mimic the animation you would see in the game for coins, question blocks, backgrounds, etc.
  • Added two new viewing options to simulate hitting POWs and Silver POWs.
  • Using a control right click to paste an object/sprite/tile/etc from an editor window regardless of what you already have selected has been implemented in all editing modes of LM that didn't already have it.
  • Several ASM modifications have been done to SMW's level screen exit code.
  • Secondary Entrances can now be set for individual screens, allowing you to use both standard and secondary entrances within the same level.
  • The standard and secondary entrances can now directly specify if the level should be a water level or slippery, rather than using one of the Mario Action settings.
  • The "Sub-Screen Boundaries" option in he "View" menu has been updated to display the screen number and sub-screen label for each section.
  • A few minor modifications have been made to the MWL format to accommodate the new exit information that has to be stored.
  • It's now possible to resize objects using the mouse.
  • You can now export and import custom level palette files (MW3) directly through the file menu.
  • An "Export Multiple Levels to Files" command has been added to the file menu.
  • The "Insert at the original address of the level" option of the "Save Level to ROM" dialog has been removed.
  • The "Enhanced Level Management" option in the save level dialog was removed.
