Sonic 2 Jump-Move Editor

The description says it all.


I've attached the script, ASM file, and setup file (which are mostly editable.)


You can also edit script.txt, or you'll get the same move I first made.


You can edit the ASM, just don't edit or remove anything in triple braces!!!!!!


After the first use, s2.asm is the file to compile, and backup_s2.asm is the one to edit, changes will show up in s2.asm the next time you run S2ME.exe.


Please try it!


USE_s2ME_for_Xenowhirl_2007_Sonic_2_Disassembly.zip

 

I'm using Vista 64 bit, so I can't run it.


But I'm sure it does what it says.

 

Here's the source code: USE_s2ME_for_Xenowhirl_disASM.zip. Download Python 2.5 for your system, and it'll work!

 

Well, you should add some pictures so the user can look how this is working. For advice, look at this.

 

Using this is as easy as 1, 2, 3!


1: Extract the files and look at them.

2: Open setup.txt, and edit it. Rings cannot be 0.

3: Double click S2ME.exe, and read s2.asm if desired, by searching your move's name and going to the second result.

3 1/2: Also, you may notice a new file, backup_s2.asm. It is the template after you compile the script once. DO NOT DELETE IT!

 

I wonder how many people will use this...


After all, if you visit Sofia there are some very good examples you could look at.

 

Well SOTI, you are right, but I don't guess many people know Sofia, plus, there are only a very few examples (like your awesome test code =P). Also, it's still better when 5 people are using it instead of no one.

 

Sonic Ring Network is right in his fucking signature. Sofia is also on that site, so, where the hell did you get that from.

 

It wasn't there at the time I posted this.

 

This isn't really discussion of my tool, is it?


Well, I've improved it, and now it can do standing, rolling, in air, or jumping moves, and you specify whether you want to use A, B, or C to make the move happen. I may be uploading the newer version soon...

 

A new version? Cool. But you said standing moves. Do you mean some kind of a Spindash?

 

If it works, it will do things like this: When standing you press B, and then you start spinning and going at high speed, as if you had just done a spindash. That is pretty far off, but step by step, I'm getting closer. Some time it probably will be able to make things like spindashes and peel-outs.


EDIT: It already has the power of multiple new moves! (How astounding... )

 

I have a question, how is this program actualy working, I mean, what is it doing?

 

It uses templates. Here are the templates:



Obj01_MdNormal:
bsr.w Sonic_CheckSpindash


bsr.w Sonic_Jump


bsr.w Sonic_SlopeResist


bsr.w Sonic_Move


bsr.w Sonic_Roll


bsr.w Sonic_LevelBound


jsr ObjectMove


bsr.w AnglePos


bsr.w Sonic_SlopeRepel


{{{ROUTINESTANDCALL}}}


return_1A2DE:


rts


; End of subroutine Obj01_MdNormal


; ===========================================================================


; Start of subroutine Obj01_MdAir


; Called if Sonic is airborne, but not in a ball (thus, probably not jumping)


; loc_1A2E0: Obj01_MdJump


Obj01_MdAir:


bsr.w Sonic_JumpHeight


bsr.w Sonic_ChgJumpDir


bsr.w Sonic_LevelBound


jsr ObjectMoveAndFall


btst #6,status(a0) ; is Sonic underwater?


beq.s + ; if not, branch


subi.w #$28,y_vel(a0) ; reduce gravity by $28 ($38-$28=$10)

; ===========================================================================


; Start of subroutine Obj01_MdRoll


; Called if Sonic is in a ball, but not airborne (thus, probably rolling)


; loc_1A30A:


Obj01_MdRoll:


tst.b spindash_flag(a0)


bne.s +


bsr.w Sonic_Jump

bsr.w Sonic_RollRepel


bsr.w Sonic_RollSpeed

{{{ROUTINEROLLCALL}}}


rts


; End of subroutine Obj01_MdRoll


; ===========================================================================


; Start of subroutine Obj01_MdJump


; Called if Sonic is in a ball and airborne (he could be jumping but not necessarily)


; Notes: This is identical to Obj01_MdAir, at least at this outer level.


; Why they gave it a separate copy of the code, I don't know.


; loc_1A330: Obj01_MdJump2:


Obj01_MdJump:


bsr.w Sonic_JumpHeight


bsr.w Sonic_ChgJumpDir


bsr.w Sonic_LevelBound


jsr ObjectMoveAndFall


btst #6,status(a0) ; is Sonic underwater?


beq.s + ; if not, branch

; End of subroutine Obj01_MdJump





; End of subroutine Sonic_CheckGoSuper

{{{OURNEWMOVE}}}

; Subroutine doing the extra logic for Super Sonic

And then a template for the move itself:

		{CLEAROTHER}

	theProcedure = theProcedure.replace('{MNAME}', OURNEWMOVENAME)

	if not clearOther: co = ''



	theProcedure = theProcedure.replace('{CLEAROTHER}', co)

	

	return Move(theProcedure, type, OURNEWMOVENAME)

EDIT: I'd like to make it clear that the {MNAME: like Sonic_Leap}_ChkDirection procedure was entirely by Selbi.

 

Ah thanks, that would be helpful. I'm doing a Sonic 1 Move Editor in the moment.

 

Cool! You'd be welcome to use my source code if you like, since with very little modification, it could do the other game.

 

No, I will do it with VB because I kinda can't and want to work with anything else.

 

Cool.

 

A new version! (Sorry for the double post...)


This time, you edit moves.txt to direct to various move files like the original setup.txt. There are two new flags, type and key (I think... ) and they are the type of move (standing and rolling don't work well,) and the key you press to use it.


Updated_Version_S2ME.zip

 

Fantasticfish... I use Windows XP. I try it, and it's NOT working. Can you make a version for XP, please? (I mean, the link's broken :'( )
