Knuckles Help, it's not solved

I'm sorry I've been asking so many questions but this should be the last one. I've added knuckles (again thanks to Goonie) but I'm trying to have Knuckles load his own palette. I used this for help but all it does it make knuckles and any thing that load with knuckles palette black e.g. monitors are black instead of gray. I need help. Also staff can you please merge this with my other questions about adding Knuckles.

 

What you have created is Niggles. You should be proud of that.


To make things easier in a way I have my Knuckles port load its own PalPointers so it can load the correct underwater palettes. That's all I'll say.

 

Tried that, it didn't work unless I did something wrong.

 

Do you mind posting the code and palette you have so we can see if you have a bug in your loading routine?

 

Sonic 2 I'm guessing--


To have Knuckles load his own palette you'll have to prepare the palette, but I'll just assume that you have it already ready.


Level_LoadPal:


is where the game checks what the character is, underneath is the load palette routines.


In the routine that tells to load the Knux palette (that you will have to make), the game will use d0 and the ID inside to load the palette. So whichever palette ID is your Knuckles palette (In the palette table) is the palette to tell it to use:


moveq #$XX,d0


'XX' being replaced with your palette ID. Look off of the code already there to be a guide.

 

Another question about porting knuckles? How many people are porting knuckles to their hacks on this forum currently? I do not mean to have a jab or anything, this is just a reminder that the more ported knuckles' we see in hacks, the less interesting it'll become, and you wouldn't necessarily be making a brilliant achievement by doing so.


As a recommendation, have you all considered looking into something no one has tried before and keeping it a secret until release? You could really suprise people with something awesome that way.

 

Blame me I guess, ever since I got him everyone's been doing it. :U

 

Ever since you got him? You're using SOTI's object, and it's broken.


In everyone's defense Markey--no one has it 'properly' done. Even S2:Enhanced had a few bugs with Knuckles =P

 

It's the same object from Sonic 2 & Knuckles and it's not public too. Stop being a broken record.


By the way, here's a guide which a few people will appreciate.

 

So far this Knuckles code isn't glitchy.

 

Ya that didn't work every thing becomes black but the water palette in emerald hill. After following the guide I get

I fix the

and

by adding the pal pointers as


Pal_Knuckles: BINCLUDE "art/palettes/Knuckles.bin" ; Knuckles Palette
Pal_HPZ_U_K: BINCLUDE "art/palettes/HPZ underwater.bin" ; Hidden Palace Zone underwater palette


Pal_CPZ_U_K: BINCLUDE "art/palettes/CPZ underwater.bin" ; Chemical Plant Zone underwater palette


Pal_ARZ_U_K: BINCLUDE "art/palettes/ARZ underwater.bin" ; Aquatic Ruin Zone underwater palette



Then this happens





This is sonic and tails but I get the same thing with sonic alone, Tails alone and Knuckles Alone. Please help It's driving me crazy.

 

Sorry for the 'bump' if this is a bump, but did you add the palettes at the END of the palette table? If you add it anywhere else it'll break the table causing that.

 

I think so, what do you mean? Do you mean add them after the Knuckles but before end of 'ROM' or after PalPointers.

 

I didn't even NEED to add knux's palette into palpointers... O.0

 

You need to have it at the end of palpointers. Follow SOTI's guide. There's no room for error in that. Go to a backup, do exactly as it says. Although I've found a better way to do it. No need for another palpointer table.

 

I had a previous system, it just wouldn't work for underwater levels.

 

Ya, I did that and I got the mostly black image you see in my last post. This to be exact.

 

Show me your edits that have been made. I might be able to see what you've done wrong.
