Description

You have a custom escape but the graphic of the escape timer or enemies get broken? This is because the vanilla timer takes graphic space in room enemies graphics. This asm will optimise and move the escape timer graphic to be able to load all the room enemies graphic.

*Warning, Not for vanilla escapes, use this if you have an escape timer that is not classic Ceres or MB.

Fantastic resource! It makes the timer look a bit odd aesthetically (reuses as many tiles as possible), but the extra functionality is well worth it.

Bosses are now possible with the escape timer.
Kraid, Ridley, Phantoon, BT, Botwoon, and Spospo are all compatible as-is.
Draygon and GT will mess up the timer graphics:
Draygon is not compatible because of the Evirs from the beginning of the fight; complicated fix.
GT is not compatible out of the box but can be made to work with it. Paste the following into the patch to include GT compatibility.

Thanks to Oi27 for making this GT compatible. This is very easy to use and a very nice improvement over vanilla escape timer. Great patch.

Really great patch to allow more varied escapes (not mother brain compatible tho, but that's understandable)

~~have to sacrifice rainbow sherbet charging and move graphics to make it mother brain compatible~~
UPDATE 3/14/2023:
have to move graphics to make it mother brain compatible, replacing unused mouth graphics
UPDATE 3/20/2023:
Even better idea: make timer take up mouth graphics during phases 2&3
