3 questions

I have more asks. Sorry


1-How to change the boss start position? I tried looking the RESIZEs subroutines, but nothing. I tried looking the code of boss' object, but nothing


2-How to do not fadeout screen when a act is complete? I tried deleting some coden in LEVEL screenmode, but the game will to crash. This efect is used in sonic 3 and some hacks.


(and here is the MOST stupid ask)


3-How to port the Kick DAC sample of sonic 3? (facepalm) I use the file, with $2CF size, and is very bad. I tried decreasing this, without results. I tried changing the pitch, without results. why?? (my latest DAC problem is solved, by creating more of one PCM table)


NOTE: Sorry the bad grammar D:

 

Example: look at the Resize_GHZ3boss: code

Code:

Resize_GHZ3boss:

		cmpi.w	#$960,&#40;$FFFFF700&#41;.w; <-------- here is coordinate

		bcc.s	loc_6EB0

		subq.b	#2,&#40;$FFFFF742&#41;.w



loc_6EB0&#58;

		cmpi.w	#$2960,&#40;$FFFFF700&#41;.w; <--------here is coordinate

		bcs.s	locret_6EE8

		bsr.w	SingleObjLoad

		bne.s	loc_6ED0

		move.b	#$3D,0&#40;a1&#41; &#59; load GHZ boss	object

		move.w	#$2A60,8&#40;a1&#41;

		move.w	#$280,$C&#40;a1&#41;



loc_6ED0&#58;

		move.w	#$8C,d0

		bsr.w	PlaySound &#59; play boss music

		move.b	#1,&#40;$FFFFF7AA&#41;.w; lock	screen

		addq.b	#2,&#40;$FFFFF742&#41;.w

		moveq	#$11,d0

		bra.w	LoadPLC	 &#59; load boss patterns

Just change them to make boss appear in other place of level.

 

Thanks.


The latest 2 asks...

 

You should modify Obj3A_NextLevel: code. Have a look through it.

 

Nothing...

 

This is called "act transition" and is not easy to do. If you really want to do it, look at the post of Alriightyman, he has it in his hack. (Fun fact, you were the one who asked there.)

 

hahaha ty =P


The latest ask...

 

This is the second time you've used profanity for no reason in a topic title. I have nothing against profanity per se, but when it's used pointlessly it's juvenile and grating. Also the word you're looking for is "Questions" not "Asks".

Spoiler

Topic title was originally "3 fuckin asks" if you're wondering.

 

ok...

 

Instead of porting, you could try putting in custom drum samples.

 

For question 3 try using the Z80new sound driver, as for the samples there is a thing called asking. Anyways here's my copy of the s3 Kick sample (DEC is the used [incbin] same as BIN, use a hex calculator to figure out the sizes) I hope this helped a bit, if not: oh well.

 

Oh no, nothing of this!


I only need the size, and the pitch of this sample. I'm using the Sonic2's clone driver. Calculating this, the sample size is $2CF and the pitch (for me) is unknown. For the pitch I use $4. Testing this, this sample listen distorted. why?

 

loc_6EB0:
cmpi.w #$2960,($FFFFF700).w ; has the screen passed 2960 pixels on the X axiz?


bcs.s locret_6EE8 ; if not, branch


bsr.w SingleObjLoad ; find a free object slot space


bne.s loc_6ED0 ; if no space is available, branch


move.b #$3D,0(a1) ; load the GHZ boss object


move.w #$2A60,8(a1) ; set it's X position


move.w #$280,$C(a1) ; set it's Y position

When you're a little more wiser maybe and you can prove to me that you have a good sense of style, then I'd be glad to explain one of many ways.

1. You must keep the samples within a bank size of 7FFF, over mount that limit, and some samples will not play.


2. The Z80 DAC drivers I've known of so far, none of them support bank swicthing via the 8000 offset mark, meaning you can only have samples between the offsets of 0000 and 7FFF, never 8000 and FFFF, no matter where the bank is located.


3. The position of the sample is based on where it starts within the bank (Plus 8000 because the Z80's bank reading area is 8000 - FFFF in the Z80 map).


4. The size of the sample is well, the size, number of bytes, etc. You can easily find this out with a hexadecimal editor, and see the end offset, now depending on what rate the sample is set at, depends on whether the size needs dividing by 2, 4 or even 8. though a simple ($SIZE/$02) should do it (The 2 being the division).


5. The pitch can be done by listening with your ears, though others have already collected precalculated picthes before:


24,000Hz ($03 Pitch)


22,050Hz ($05 Pitch)


16,000Hz ($09 Pitch)


11,025Hz ($13 Pitch)
