Sonic 2 options menu to sonic 1

Hello, I have a small problem. I am trying to port the sonic 2 options menu to sonic 1 then i will customize it to my hack. The Problem i am having is that it fades when you press the start button at the titlescreen, and that is it.... it won't load the options menu... If you want the code let me know.

 

A code wouldn't be bad. Post please.

 

Code Removed.

 

Well, copying all of the code might not do anything. Try putting only MenuScreen_Options. Also, some ram addresses are incorect since sonic 2 and sonic 1 has a small diffrences between them. Try looking at sonic 1's and sonic 2's ram addresses and if their not the same, try using a clean ram addess.

 

well i tried menuscreen_optiions on its own, but it just freezes the titlescreen. But i'll have a look at the ram address, and look to see if there is anythng not needed later.

 

Never mind i fixed the problem.

 

Hi there, just a quick question on how you did this...? I have added the sonic 2 level select and this would work nicely along side it - where did you get the data files for the options screen? I have had a quick look in the sonic 2 dissasembely but could only find selction box with shadow file.

 

MenuScreen_Options



Main part of the options code.



loc_909A



That's the second main part of the options code, handles things like pressing start over one of the options.



loc_91F8



Third main part, handles what part of where the called text goes on the screen.



off_92BA



That calls the text on the options menu.



byte_97CA



That is the first line of text on the options menu (* PLAYER SELECT *)

Happy porting. =P


Edit: slight fix in locations.

 

Sorry if i didnt explain myself very well... what I mean is where do I find this file?


incbin misc\Options.bin ?


what s2 dissasmebely has this file? Becasue I am using the sonic retro SVN version and I cant find that file.

 

MapEng_Options: BINCLUDE "mappings/misc/Options Screen.bin"

 

Thanks for helping the guy out hitaxes

 

Thanks for the help so far.... I am having a few problems, I have pasted the options screen code and changed the lables to the sonic 1 equivilent like i did with the s2 level select but I get a list of un recgonised opcodes when I try and build - I have tried changing the bra's to jsr and jmp but with no succsess - any ideas?

 

It would help if you post your build errors.

 

I had that problem too, the commands are stuck at the left side of the file am I correct? Just add a little space between the start of the text file to the commands so it will work.

 

if you have anymore problems, let me know =P.

 

I have a question of my own, is there anyway to get the box around the text in the options menu, mappings in sonmaped? I want to edit them, but hex is screwing it up.

 

Well seems that i have a question related to the options menu problem previoulsy, i thought it would be a waste to start a new topic for this question that i have.


Is there anyway of using the player_options, and player_mode flag without using object codes for each character?. These are used to set sonic and tails's object code in sonic 2. (Load which object to that character)because at the moment all the character names that i select still load sonic's art for all of them. As i tried compares so it would load the art to the right name. (sonic,shadow,silver ect)


Or if there is any other way of doing this, could someone help me? thanks!

 

I think I know how, it didn't work for me and I am using object codes but I think I know, change player_option to a clean Ram address and somewhere in level_mainloop (or in playlevel) move that value to the character flag. Also did you do the character guide at all?

 

Yes i did,but as you know it sets the flag when you press b, where as i want to set the flag when you highlight a character to load that sprite to that character. Like the orignial one in sonic2, just not with object codes.

 

Oh, you do a compare and branch to the character flag in LoadSonicdynPLc to load different PLC's and art. In obj01_main for different height and mappings and somewhere nearby Level_LoadPal to load different palette.
