Adding extra characters

I followed the guide in retro on adding extra characters to sonic 1 so i added tails to the game (without object code) when i added the art


it actually loaded sonic with messed up art. so i added mappings, plc and pallet and i got these errors:


C:\S1H\_MAPS\TAILS.BIN(1) : Error : Illegal character '☺' (1) in input


C:\S1H\_INC\TAILS.BIN(1) : Error : Illegal character '☺' (1) in input


C:\S1H\_INC\TAILS.BIN(2) : Error : Illegal character '♥' (3) in input


I am using something like:


Map_Tails:


include "_maps/tails.bin"


and when i use incbins, it loads only the messed up art.

 

You have to use incbin, includes are for ASM data, while you're loading up binary data. Did you convert the mappings/PLCs into S1 format before using them?

 

No i didn't convert. i just did a copy/paste/rename from the 2007 s2 disassembly.


EDIT: i converted the binary to asm using sonmaped but it still loads the "missingo" art.

 

Have you tried removing (1) and (2) from the names? =P


Other than that, I'm not sure what the problem you are having is.

 

I didn't put 1 and 2 in the names. the bug caused because i used include direvtives on binary files. i converted them to asm using save data file mappings and plc in sonmaped. but it still loads the missingo art.
