    It's REALLY an easy how to!


    Open the sonic1.asm


    Search Obj2E_ChkShoes:


    At the end,you should look this:



    Code:
    move.w	#$E2,d0
    
    jmp	(PlaySound).l	; Speed	up the music


    Replace it with:



    Code:
    move.w	#$87,d0
    
    jmp	(PlaySound).l	; play invincibility music

    I take it of the Invincibility Box.You can edit $87 with you wanted music.


    Finish!

    This guide is worse than any no brainer I've ever seen. Why? Simply because we AREN'T done after doing these steps. It plays the music you want, but when you wear off the shoes, the music is not changing back to the normal music. If I could rate this guide, I would do 2/10. It's too simple and not even half completed, but at least it does one thing, so not 1/10.


    Side note: Next time use ASM tabs instead of Code boxes please.

    I appreciate your concerns Selbi, and I'm not going to say that they aren't valid, but this is no way to encourage contributions. SMDBZ is a new member, and an inexperienced hacker, yet is learning, and attempting to help others - I'd prefer if you weren't so negative towards his efforts. Sure, there are some errors and omissions (which can be forgiven in such a newcomer) but surely you can state this without being so... unpleasant. I'm sure there was no malice there but, come on now - imagine if you'd just come to what (in your eyes at least) is a breakthrough in your understanding of manipulating s2.asm and decided you wanted to contribute, maybe because it helped you and you want to share the knowledge, maybe just to show off, maybe just for the hell of it, and your first reply was "this is worse than any no brainer I've ever seen." Disheartening.


    Thanks for your efforts SMDBZ. Unfortunately Selbi did raise some issues which you'd probably want to address if you are planning on developing this any further. Myself? I could cope with the guide in the state that it is, provided you explained exactly why the change that you made resulted in the desired behaviour. As it is, it is useful only for this singular task - really I'd like to see you explain exactly what each line of code means, and how you know, so that the lessons learned from this exercise can be applied to different goals. Otherwise, good effort. Thanks for taking time out of your day to show others what you've found.

    Maybe my words have been a little bit to harsh. I didn't mean like "this is the worst thing I've ever seen". I only said it's not completed and a very obvious thing, which is not worth to be in a guide, in my opinion. Either way, I'm sorry.

    Its fine, I'm positive you weren't being deliberately malicious and the points you raised were totally valid. I'm just giving this dude the benefit of the doubt, cause I don't think its fair to knock someone for simply trying. That said, I don't want to encourage people to post any old bollocks, no matter how good their intentions.

    well, it's a nice start to a guide and it's a great thing he is actually learning, trying to understand this stuff and highly experimenting with anything for no reason, other than moaning he can't do it and asking for help constantly (not to say there's anything wrong with asking for help, it's just too much asking and your making your self look stupid).


    so SMDBZ, I'd like to revert your attention to:


    Obj01_ChkInvin:


    and


    Obj01_ChkShoes:


    I'd love you to do more research on this, see if you can finish what you started, because I'm sure that if you are as hell bent on learning as I think you are, you'll figure it out and do a great job.

    I thnk giving people hints is a good start for them to know where they should start learning first. Although the guide is incomplete, I hope he takes it in to consideration what selbi said, and how markey jester is pointing him into the right direction. I hope he succeeds in finishing this guide, so then he can learn and go on to bigger things in time.
