help porting knuckles to sonic 2

Hey whats up the name is joenick69 and i am pretty brand new to the whole ASM hacking but not hacking in general for a while i used Esreal Sonic Editor 2 i actually have a fully done hack but ive just recently moved to sonEd 2 and have to start all over but anyway i want to port knuckles to sonic 2 and being a noob at this i have no idea where to start. Oh and if you want to try out my old hack before i changed to soned 2 just ask, P.S. its a difficult hack its a sonic 2 hack also

 

Why yes, I would definitely like to see your hack. Please post it somewhere.

 

There tell me what you think oh and no music has been editied either only layouts and palettes and a little change to super sonic palette wise

 

ok the attachment didnt send bc it was too big is there somewhere else i can post it and just to mention again im a noob soi dont know much about how this forums work lol


Ive provided a link to my perviosly mentioned hack


http://www.mediafire.com/?xtjdm9chr88y5oe

 

yep files too big

 

Use an uploading service such as MediaFire.

 

Plus - this is probably because I'm a total n00b - it doesn't sound to hard to get Knuckles into Sonic 2. Wasn't there Knuckles IN Sonic 2? Can't you just look at the code in there and put all the objects and sprites for Knuckles into your split disassembly?

 

Yes, you can port the Knuckles object from Knuckles in Sonic 2 (there is a disassembly on Sonic Retro) but you need to make a few fixes to it. I did it myself one time, just without most of the fixes, it was a bit buggy.


Also, Joenick69, don't triple post. Next time, use one post and edit in anything you need to add to it. Wasting posts as a Trialist isn't a good idea.

 

I've seen a lot of people do that on Sonic Retro only to get left in Limbo/Validating/Whatever they call it there.

 

Yeah sorry about that I had a hunch that that was going to be annoying wont happen again


I kind of figured that i could copy and paste knuckles codes from the S2K dissassembly to the sonic 2 final one but it just seemed too easy so i didnt believe that was all i had to do and I knew a few bugs could come along with it

 

Or you could just do it the tricky, but less buggy way. You can find the Sonic Retro guide on adding new characters here. http://info.sonicretro.org/How-to:Add_Extra_Characters_To_Sonic_2

 

Yeah I looked at the guide a while back,


It's a very helpful guide sonic retro is a great site to get info like that don't know what I would do without it this place is good too not trying to talk down about anything.

 

'wasting posts as a Trialist isn't a good idea.'


/facepalm

 

That only shows how to add the character object to be used in game, it does not do anything else beyond that.

 

Ok i have no idea where any of knuckles codes are in the Sk2 dissassembly and i dont know how to get knuckles spirts since the dissassembly doesnt have a split.bat to recieve all the mappings how would i get them. I appologize if this is a stupid question.

yeah i have come to realize that, shouldnt of thought it was that easy

 

Now, were you going to be showing your hack somewhere?

 

yep there it is i got mediafire so i could upload and put the URL on here

 

OK so so far i have copied and pasted all of kuckles codes to my S2 disassembly and have received a view errors

It may just be bc i pasted it close to the end of the rom but im not sure


and i already changed knuckles to his own object i already went throught a lot of errors i guess you do learn something everyday XD

 

Change all that bsr.w nonsense into jsr. Problem solved.
