how to load alternate art for "SONIC GOT THROUGH" obj in s1

I have been trying to understand how this works for the last two days and I think i must be missing something really small/simple - I have made my art, and included it and also added an entry on the pattern load cues for it but i dont know what to change in obj3A to make it use the alternate art.

 

Well, what do you mean by seperating it? You mean different letter art for the text or different textes? If the second thing, my program should help you, as I have a generator for that text included.


EDIT: Aaaand there it is, the first member with 1,000 posts. Awesome.

 

No, Selbi... I think he wants to load another different titlecard graphics for the "Sonic Got Through" instead of just the text. You can get as example the Sonic 3, that loads in the end level card different graphic stuff than the main level titlecard

 

yes eduardoknuckles thats exactly what i want to do... I have already made the art but I have no idea how to load it - as I say I have included the file and made an entry in the pattern load cues but I dont know where to go from there.

 

What you could do is create a new PLC for the new title card art. Also it helps if you look for


lea Nem_TitleCard


or something like that under the Level: subroutines


EDIT:


replace LoadPLC2 with this:

Code:

LoadPLC2: 		

		movem.l	a1-a2,-(sp)	

chkp1:

		cmpi.b  #$01, ($FFFFFFFE)

		bne.s   chkp2

		lea	(ArtLoadCues2).l,a1	

		bra.s   ContLoadPLC2

chkp2:

								lea	 (ArtLoadCues).l,a1

ContLoadPLC2:



		add.w	d0,d0

		move.w	(a1,d0.w),d0

		lea	(a1,d0.w),a1

		bsr.s	ClearPLC

		lea	($FFFFF680).w,a2

		move.w	(a1)+,d0

		bmi.s	loc_15D8

and find loc_37b6 and replace it with this:

Code:

loc_37B6:

		bsr.w	ClearPLC

		bsr.w	Pal_FadeFrom

		tst.w	($FFFFFFF0).w

		bmi	Level_ClrRam

		move	#$2700,sr

		move.l	#$70000002,($C00004).l

chkply1:

		cmpi.b	#$01, ($FFFFFFFE); is the multiple character flag set to $01 (Shadow)?

		bne.s	NormalTitl&#59; if not, load Sonic's art

		lea	(Nem_TitleCard2).l,a0; load Shadow's art

		bra	Continue&#59; branch to rest of code 

NormalTitl:

		lea	(Nem_TitleCard).l,a0; load title card patterns

Continue:

		bsr.w	NemDec

		move	#$2300,sr

		moveq	#0,d0

		move.b	($FFFFFE10).w,d0

		lsl.w	#4,d0

		lea	(MainLoadBlocks).l,a2

		lea	(a2,d0.w),a2

		moveq	#0,d0

		move.b	(a2),d0

		beq.s	loc_37FC

		bsr.w	LoadPLC&#59; load level patterns

and that should allow you to have a different set of titlecards. The Flag checks were from that multiple character guide (don't know who wrote it though...) so you might need to check that for safety measures.

 

Wow thank you - that worked a treat... I wasnt far off, I was trying to add the new art to the original plc :s
