I don't understand what you don't understand D:
face.pbm is called face.pbm, it's located in the same place as arms.pbm and bullet.pbm and MyChar.pbm...

A better way is to just set *.pbm files to automatically open with MS Paint.

Well you need hacks if you want your item to do anything that isn't handled by TSC or otherwise already existing. For infinite booster, this has already been handled a jillion times but here:
Change 0x157A7 from: 32 00 00 00
to: 00 00 13 37
for infinite level 1 booster
Change 0x157BD from: 32 00 00 00
to: 00 00 13 37
for infinite level 2 booster
Change 0x157A7 from: 32 00 00 00
to: 00 00 13 37
for infinite level 1 booster
Change 0x157BD from: 32 00 00 00
to: 00 00 13 37
for infinite level 2 booster

If by range you mean the limits in which it exists, then that would be the following two segements: 0x1578F-0x157CC, (refuelling) and 0x15933-0x15F4A (boosting, among other things)
For fun, this is the function that contains all the booster stuff, sort-of decompiled.

I'm sorry, but I'm still having a slight problem. Either Monster X's coordinates aren't changing, or they're not changing correctly. I keep finding him in a giant wall. Like, I can see the fish being shot out of the wall, but no Monster X. So, I ask of you, could someone please explain this to me as descriptive as you can? I get that you need to edit the numbers and such, but I'm slightly confused. Maybe you switched X and Y on accident? Once again, thanks for the help.

Here's a fun questipn. I took a break from the water and began editing the bubbler, yet the code for bubbler 2/3 bullet spawning is different. It isn't written in the same way it is in the Compendium, and I want it to spawn the same bullets for them both. I'm trying to make them fire the spurs that the level 3 bubbles turn into.

This is kind of a noob question, but I am a noob. So, quiet.
What's with the TSC command <ANP? X is the entity ID, right? So, what is y? Does it relate to the entity? When I tried to make balrog ANP with y = 0001, it made him into a teal square. Also, is there a way to make it move in a direction?

I recommend reading a guide with explanations of the basics and various TSC commands. That should give you a general understanding of at least what can be done without the need for "hax". As for your question, <ANP changes the scriptstate of a particular entity which relates to different program flow pathes hardcoded into the executable. There's Anp.txt which can give you the values for the most common and known entities, other than that either experimentation or hacking can tell you. Often ANP will have no use if the entity wasn't coded to use it, or it will break the entity so to speak.
@ Ollie you have to make a call to the Create Bullet function somewhere in the lvl 2 bubble code, preferably in the section that executes when the bullet's time has elapsed and it destroys itself.

Oh phooey.
Unlikely that I switched x's and y's's. First guess is that x value is monsterx's x plus c. coz youknow how it's more tiles than the room? it may just be fifty tiles offset or sumpin. Try adding numbers around the magnitude.

I'm an idiot. Words can not descride.just how.smooth my brain is. Infigured out how to make the water do damage upon touch.
...
... npctable editor. Apparently entity 191 move along with the water, so I just increased it's size and added damage to it. I SPENT A WEEK IN ASSEMBLY TO FIGURE THAT OUT! I am so pissed and yet so happy.
I'm going to go bang my head into a wall now.
