byte_C9FE: dc.b 12 ; ROINED HILL


dc.b $F8, 5, 0, $3A, $F0


dc.b $F8, 5, 0, $32, $F0


dc.b $F8, 1, 0, $20, $C


dc.b $F8, 5, 0, $2E, $14


dc.b $F8, 5, 0, $10, $20


dc.b $F8, 5, 0, $C, $44


dc.b $F8, 1, 0, $20, $24


dc.b $F8, 5, 0, $26, $2C


dc.b $F8, 5, 0, $26, $3C


If u ask why its rOined hill and not ruined, its because I couldn't find a byte for the letter 'U' and I dont understand letter bytes in asm.


But when i play the game it looks like R INELID ZONE and it has tiles from green hill zone.


The 2nd question is how do i create new objects? I want to create a miniboss so I want to know if SonMapEd can do it (I saw someone that created a miniboss in Sonic 1 Time Travel hack)

 

you couldve always used ese 1

 

I already found out how to change title cards. Untill you answered my questions i found out doing it myself.

 

No, he couldn't, not with a disassembly. That's just retarded. If you are doing it with a hex hack, then ESE works fine, but with a dissassembly, how would you? You would have to change the names every time you run build.bat, and if you did it before using split.bat, then it would just revert, as the title card mappings are in an asm file that comes with the disassembly.

 

No its not, its insinde sonic1.asm in Map_obj34. I copied it to _maps so now i can edit the blue thing and the colour of the text with sonmappedd.

 

And the ASM file comes from where? The Disassembly.

 

Right.

 

Hey Hanoch, since it turns out that I can't send Private Messages to you, here is the answer to your question, I hope that you don't mind if I post it to the public, but I have no other choice.

You are on the right way.
lvl_ord.bin defines what level is going to be played after you beat the one you're in it, and it's sorted by zone and act.


It should look like


00 01 (from GHZ1, go to GHZ2)


00 02 (from GHZ2, go to GHZ3)


02 00 (from GHZ3, go to MZ1)


00 00 (from GHZ4, go to GHZ1) (all the non-valid levels point to 00 00)


01 01 (from LZ1, go to LZ2)


01 02 (from LZ2, go to LZ3)


03 00 (from LZ3, go to SLZ1)


05 02 (from LZ4, go to SBZ3) (read: from the level that appears to be SBZ3, go to the level that appears to be FZ)


02 01 (from MZ1, go to MZ2)


etc


Now, as you see, this only lets you pick the level to be played after you beat the first one; you start in GHZ1 because of a value which is hardcoded into the asm file. But you can edit that.


Go to PlayLevel and make it look like this:

Code:

PlayLevel:

		move.w	#$0x0x,$FFFE10

PlayLevel_LS:

where 0x0x is the level you want to start in. Same thing here:

Code:

SS_ChkEnd_Reg:

		move.b	#$C,($FFFFF600).w; set	screen mode to $0C (level)

		cmpi.w	#$503,($FFFFFE10).w; is level number higher than FZ?

		bcs.s	SS_End&#59; if not, branch



		move.w	#$0x0x,($FFFFFE10).w



SS_End:

I hope that this helps!

 

Thank you very much nineko! have you thought about putting this guide on the wiki?
