I agree.


And that animation in motion is something special!

 

THIS. Thank you good sir, it works now. The funny thing is that I'd used Find to get to Touch_Enemy, right below Touch_Monitor, in order to make the attack destroy badniks. However, I'd had Find set to scroll through the code backwards for whatever reason, so Touch_Enemy showed up at the top of the screen instead of the bottom. If I'd've been searching forwards, Touch_Enemy would've been at the bottom, and Touch_Monitor would be above it on the screen, so I would've known that such a routine existed.

 

Ooooh. Now I see. Oh well, I fail at understanding problems =P Sorry

 

quick q, I have the background tiles from neo green hill zone, I want to take the mountains and add it to green hill zone. Its in a bmp image, how would I add the mountains?


Im not good with background.

 

Oh, hey... I'd rather not start a whole freakin' topic on this...


... but is there any easy way to remove the vertical boundary limits in a Zone with said limits (such as the GHZ) ?

 

If you're looking to just remove them, go to Resize_GHZ and just replace the whole thing with an 'rts', I did that with Marble Zone 1 resizing and it worked a charm.

 

For some strange reason, I'm seeing no results from varied attempts at doing what you said...


... There's something I'm missing...

 

Then perhaps you need to extend the size of the level. My best guess would be to open up lvl_size.bin find the location of ghz and the act you want,(should be at the begining) and the figure which bytes handle the width of the level, an which handles the hieght of the level and try extending the hieght.

 

I have a problem in Sonic 1:


I'm trying to replace the art for Eggman in SYZ. But I don't know how to do it. I already changed the mappings just fine, but the art isn't loading.


When I put the label for the new art in the Pattern load cues.asm, the ship art changes in every level, not just SYZ. and the alt art routine that I made doesn't work either:

Code:

toyboxboss2:

		cmpi.b	#4,($FFFFFE11).w&#59; is level syz?

		bne.s   toybox_boss2   &#59; if not, branch

		lea   	(Nem_SYZBoss).l,a1

		jsr	 Loadplc2		  &#59;



toybox_boss2:

		lea	(Nem_Eggman).l,a1	&#59;

		jsr	Loadplc2

So, how would I go about doing this?

 

Well for one, "$FFFFFE11" is not a zone, its the act. Change it to "$FFFFFE10".

 

Change this:

Code:

		cmpi.b	#4,($FFFFFE11).w; is level syz?

...into this:

Code:

		cmpi.b	#$402,($FFFFFE10).w; is level syz?

This checks the third act of spring yard (because the boss is in the third act)

 

Lies. Instead you want this:

Code:

		cmpi.w	#$402,($FFFFFE10).w; is level syz?

 

Turns out that the art (SYZ Boss) is loading for every boss.....


Chances are that the plcs aren't right and / or the code is in the wrong spot....


The code is currently right above:


Obj75_Main:


and the plcs look like this:


Nem_Bomb


....


Nem_SLZSpikes


....


Nem_SYZBoss


....


I wish this wasn't hard.

 

Not really my problem, but I need to ask: I want to get the W-block to work. It should simply give me 5 rings. Not a big deal. But how can I make the block being removed after touching it, like the 1UP block? This is what I have so far:



Obj09_ChkW:
cmpi.b #$26,d0 ; is the item a W-block?


bne.s Obj09_GOAL ; if not, check for GOAL block


jsr SS_RemoveCollectedItem ; first try to remove the block


addq.w #5,($FFFFFE20).w ; add 5 to rings


ori.b #1,($FFFFFE1D).w ; update the rings counter


move.b #0,(a1) ; second try to remove the block


move.w #$B5,d0 ; play ring sound


jmp (PlaySound_Special).l



But it doesn't work.


(Wow, it's been long time since I asked my last question.)

 

I'm not really that smart when it comes to asm. But I have added an extra screen in replacement of the title screen and when you press start it obviously takes you to the first level. Problem is, parts of the level are missing until you exit a special stage.


It looks like this:





The HUD, lives counter and rings wont show. All the code does is when Start is pressed is jumps to PlayLevel. Help?

 

I've been out of practice for a year and I've sense forgotten... pretty much everything. So quick question: How does one change an object's priority flag so it shows up behind the high plane? Specifically, I want to make the Green Glass Block from Marble Zone in Sonic 1 disappear behind walls and lava.

 

Oh, so many questions.


Whilst porting the S1 sound driver using the Guide at retro, the modified S1 sound driver seems to be removed from the system, and gives me the 'Nazi Tails' page (404).


So, does anybody have a copy of the modified sound driver that I could have?

 

I had it a while before Shibuona hacked the site. I may or may not have deleted it, allough the clone driver has all the S2 SFX bundled with it--wheras the S1 driver does not (This is hell, you do not want to scour your asm file for SFX replacement). I may have it (S1 Driver) on my flashdrive, though I'm without access to a computer--bear with me.

 

No rush, I don't need it right at this moment.


Thanks for the help though.

 

Unfortunately I must have deleted it, I can't find it anywhere. Oh well, at least I tried.
