Basic Questions and Answers Thread

Looks like somebody beat me to the punch (then again, I got extremely lazy =P). Nice work here, although I noticed in Sonic 2 the ring and shield monitors, after breaking them open, do not play their respective sound effects. Not sure if any other objects are effected by this, but those two are the most glaring ones I've come across at the moment.

 

Does anyone know how to give tails his own super flag or create a flag in general, adding a Tails_superflag in the flag list doesnt do anything tails super form still collides with sonics super form.

 

Ok I have Tails super form working but If I were to add tails super pal cycle would I covert them from Sonic3K to Sonic 2 or would it just be easier to give tails his own super palette and make it look like it does in Sonic3K?

 

You can very easily set up a rotating palette in the disassembly for Super Tails using the palette from S3K, sure.

Though I have never touched or searched for the Super Tails palette, I'm unsure if it is hard coded or not.

 

Yeah Ive searched for pal load super tails palcycle in Sonic3K and notepad says no such text existes.

 

...You do know that that is a very sloppily written disassembly, right? Your best bet is to search and test every palette. I don't think you'll get far searching like that.

 

yeah I know not alot has been defined in the disassembly.

 

You can just look here: http://info.sonicretro.org/SCHG:Sonic_3_%26_Knuckles/Art_Editing/Palette_Locations

and see his super palette is located at $3A8A ("AnPal_SuperSonic_5" in the HG disassembly).

then you can see that only two places in the disassembly point to this palette (loc_3820 and loc_38E8).

 

Thats just for the supersonic pal I want to find the location for tails super pal and looking for Anipal_Supertails isnt a loacation, I found something about the super birds but nothing about super tails.

 

That is for Tails' super animated palette.

AnPal_SuperSonic_1 = Super Sonic
AnPal_SuperSonic_2 = Super Sonic Underwater (AIZ and ICZ)
AnPal_SuperSonic_3 = Super Sonic Underwater (all other levels)
AnPal_SuperSonic_4 = Hyper Sonic
AnPal_SuperSonic_5 = Super Tails
AnPal_SuperSonic_6 = Super Knuckles
AnPal_SuperSonic_7 = Super Knuckles (reverting back to normal palette)

 

oh opps sorry

 

what is the best palette program that can work with seperate palette files? I decided to make Tails super palette that way instead of converting it  from Sonic 3K.

 

Just open S3K in any hex editor, go to $3A8A and copy/paste his palette into a new file. It's $24 bytes long.

Edit: derp, it's $24 bytes long, not $18.

 

oh alright thanks Ill do that.

Edit: Wouldnt I look for 00003A8A beacuse searching for $3A8A shows no results

 

...

No. Open S3K in a hex editor, go to the ROM address $3A8A and copy $24 bytes. 

Should look like this:

 

That gave me super Knuckles PalCycle

 

Then you did it wrong.

 

dc.w $AE,$8E,$46A,$4CE,$2AE,$46A,$8CE,$4CE


                 dc.w $4CE,$AEE,$8CE,$48E,$8CE,$4CE,$46C,$4CE


                 dc.w $2AE,$46A,$A6E,$64E,$428,$C8E,$86E,$64A

Thats what I have

 

that is $30 bytes, so it includes some of the super knuckles palette. Only copy $24 bytes.

Edit: and like I said before, you can just copy "AnPal_SuperSonic_5" from the disassembly.

Code:

AnPal_SuperSonic_5: dc.w  $AE, $8E,$46A,$4CE,$2AE,$46A,$8CE,$4CE,$46C,$AEE,$8CE,$48E,$8CE,$4CE,$46C,$4CE
     dc.w $2AE,$46A 

 

yeah that gives me Knuckles SuperPalcycle kind of weird
