The baserom uses a framework of custom objects to allow you to toggle or activate some simple UberASM codes that are in the baserom, most of which are very basic utility features. They are activated simply by inserting a custom extension object into whichever levels you want with no limit. These objects work alongside any level UberASM you may want to use as well.

Inserting these objects into your level to override the default settings of the retry system or even change the retry settings between sublevels.
| ID | Object | Description |

Inserting Custom Objects
To insert a custom object, open the "Add Object Manual (hex)" window either from the "Edit → Insert manual..." menu action, or by pressing the Insert key while in Lunar Magic's "Layer 1 editing" mode. This will bring up the following dialog window.
Next, type the ID value for the UberASM Object from the tables above into the "Size/Type/Ext" field of this dialog, and press "OK" to insert.
Multiple custom UberASM objects can be inserted and active in one level.
When inserted, custom objects will look like a pair of garbage tiles in Lunar Magic since they load a "null" object, but these objects won't actually appear in game.
The tiles they are made up of may occasionally use an exit-enabled (door) tile which may display a warning depending on your Lunar Magic settings.
