NameData:

This is a modified version of Smallhacker's
"Extended OW Level Names" patch. As the name
implies, it allows for longer level names on
the overworld. The original version made it
possible to use 38 characters, while this one
allows up to 56! To make this work, however,
you have to get rid of the lives counter.
I included a little code that moves it to the
bottom of the overworld and replaces the
character image with a "Lives" text. You might
want to use Terra Stripe to add a "Lives:" text
or something though.

IMPORTANT: For this patch to work properly, you
MUST have saved the overworld and/or the level names
in Lunar Magic at least once! LM's ASM hacks
are required for the patch to work.

As stated above, most of the code was made by
Smallhacker and Alcaro. The only thing I did
was requesting it and to moving the lives counter.


Just in case you want to change the position of
the level names (move them to the bottom or
something), this is how you do it:

1. Start with the number 5000 (Hex).
(5000 = top left corner of the screen)
2. Adding 20 to that number moves the text
down one line, adding 1 moves it one
tile to the right. (Still all in Hex.)
Example: to move the text 3 lines down
and 2 tiles right, you would add 60
and 02 to 5000, resulting in 5062.
3. Swap the two bytes.
(Ex.: 1234 becomes 3421, 5062 becomes 6250.)
4. Put the resulting number in the first line
that says "Position" after it.
5. Repeat steps 1-3 for the second line of text
(you'll usually want to just add 20 = one line down).
6. Put that number in the second "Position" line.
