EarthBound Sprite Editor

Tomato: "The EarthBound Sprite Editor lets you easily edit 1144 sprites that appear in the SNES RPG, EarthBound.  This is an unofficial PK Hack sprite editor, but I think spaanoft will quickly make this the official one, as it means he doesn't have to code the editor for Windows ;)"

Okay, to start off, a LOT of people have problems getting this sucker open, because it's a DOS program.  There are two simple ways of doing this.
1) Get ROFISH's EBSE Frontend to open it with.
2) Open your Notepad program and type in the following:

ebse.exe (ROM FILENAME)
Then do a save as, set the filetype to *.* (All Files), and type in ebse.bat.  It doesn't matter what the name is really, as long as you have the .bat at the end.  Now make sure the .bat file, EBSE, and the ROM are all in the same folder, then double-click the .bat file.  That's all there is to it! Also, if the program crashes as soon as you try it, and it says stuff like "Shutting down Allegro", you should disconnect from the net if you're connected, and try it again.  If it still messes up, try closing any other programs that may be running, and try.  If it still messes up, whine.  Also, some sprites have incorrect pallets, but don't complain about it.

Using the Sprite Editor

This is probably the simplest EB-specialized editor you'll ever use.
 
If you take the name Ness, take out, add, and rearrange letters, you get Satan! Button, Button, Who's Got The Button?

*Save Sprite: Saves the sprite.  Duh.
*BOING!: You get to hear Umi say "Meester Saturn keeeel you!" Useless, but hilarious!
*Exit:  If I need to explain THAT to you, don't bother reading the rest of this document.
*Colors:  Click one to use that color.
*First Funky Button: Copy.  It copies the data on the screen.
*Second Funky Button: Paste.  It pastes what you've copied.  Come on, you know this!
*Exploding Square: Clear Screen.  It fills the entire frame with the currently selected color.
*Horizontal Arrows: Flip the image horizontally.
*Vertical Arrows: Flip the image upside-down.
*Tomato: Tomato-ize the panel.  Just try it at least once.
*Camera: Generates a .bmp file named "sprite(whatever).bmp."

To navigate the sprites, you use the direction buttons.  Left and right move one by one through the sprites, but up and down increase and decrease in increments of 25 sprites.  It's pretty simple.  Also keep in mind if you move to a different sprite, your changes will be lost unless you click Save Sprite.  You have to hit it for each one or you're wasting your time.  The Escape key quits.

Tomato: "This program is a little different than most in how the mouse works.  In the EBSE, you just need to have the mouse button down to select something, you don't need to click it.  This is good for some things, bad for others.  Oh well.  It's a pain to try to get clicking to work.  Take what you can get, and be happy.  This program can edit the real EB ROM, a possibly corrupt version of the EB ROM that is floating around out there, and the Mother 2 ROM."
