Basic Questions and Answers Thread

No worries selbi, I already souted it over msn with daleksam.

 

Hi there, this isnt a big enough question to need its own thread so I have posted here... I have been doing a bit of tinkering with s2 to try and learn lol anyway have added knuckles from the s2k dissasembely as object 6C and it works fine apart from 1 thing - climing facing right, knuckles climbs into the wall :S any ideas what causes ths becasue climbing facing left works fine. I have done the obvious like double check, fresh asm file but i dont really understand the problem.

 

RAM addresses. That is all.

 

ah ha thank you for the pointer

 

Anyone know where to get the SonED2Projects_Quickman folder?


I'm following the guide: Sonic 1 Split Disasm Tutorials: Setting Up

EDIT: Oh crap, sorry about the idiocy SOTI.


This WILL sound stupid but, every comment I end up making ends up in the


recent posts on the homepage. Could someone tell me how to make a normal


comment without it ending up on the homepage? Thanks.


OH GOD NO ANOTHER EDIT: Wait, when SOTI said my previous comment


was in the wrong place, he meant me to put it in the Basic Q&A Thread, right?


Is it also normal that comments end up on the Recent Posts in the Homepage?


CarcassoZX0 told me it was in the wrong forum.

 

Looks like somebody didn't read this page.


I hope you like being molested.

 

So guys, guess whut?


I finally found that missing folder, and guy, was I clueless.


All I needed to do was look at QJimbos tutorial for setting up SonED2


at SSRG and the link to the file was there. WOW.


But - I have a new problem.


Whenever I edit art, after I leave SonED2,


my art edits disappear.


Is it because I'm editing the original ROM by mistake?


Do I have to build S1BUILT.bin before I can art edit?


THE GUY

 

You don't edit the ROM directly with SonED2. You will need to work with project files instead (it's in one of SSRG's video tutorials).

 

@Selbi


I know you need to edit the project files in SonED2, but do I


need to create S1BUILT and edit its project files?

 

No, there in the project folder in the disasm, open a project like ghz1.sep in soned2, edit, save, then build it to create a s1built.bin with the edited changes.

 

Here's the way it works:


A "Split Disassembly" is exactly what it is, all the individual art files, chunks, blocks, music, programming, etc, are all seperated or "Spilt" if you want to call it that.


You edit those seperated files individually, this is why there are .sep files to be used with SonED, SonED can help edit the "sep"erated files, and save the new editing you've done.


You run "Build.bat", to put all of those "Seperated Files" together with the programming, into one rom called "S1BUILT.BIN", which is what it is, Sonic 1 "Built", all seperated files that you edited, get built into a rom.

 

Okay. I opened SonED2, edited Labyrinth Zone, saved it, built it, tried it on my emulator,


and nothing popped up on screen. Did I do it right?


What am I missing?


EDIT: After I checked my emulator to play my hacked S1 rom,


I decided to check my edited Labyrinth and my edits were gone.


Second time, too.

 

Is it possible that your disasm is not split yet, or that your project files are corrupted? Try downloading a new disasm, edit LZ and see if the problem persists.

 

Did you build your ROM? It has to be built when you made changes.

 

Okay, do I run split.bat and run build.bat?


I don't think I can build the ROM unless I've edited s1.bin.

 

I want to go the ASM route,


and with help of the people who know what to do,


eventually I will make a Sonic 1 hack.


I wanted to make a Sonic game all my life.


Like SOTI said,


"You have all this stuff at your fingertips,


so use it already!"


I didn't join SSRG to give up.

 

You need to run ONLY build.bat. split.bat will reload the original sonic 1 stuff to their original location (except the coding) but build.bat will make it into a hack, with the changed stuff.


What you could do is remove s1.bin from that folder, so if you accidently hit split.bat nothing would happen.

 

Do you have s1comb.asm? if your using the snasm68k disam, then you will need s1comb.asm, just copy sonic1.asm and rename it. If your using asm68k then you don't need s1comb.asm.


Edit: Also, what size is the s1built.bin when you build it? is it over 1000kb? or is it 1kb? if it is 1kb there is an error and thats why nothing shows when you run it on an emulator. But if it is over 1000kb or over 500kb then I'm not sure.
