Basic Questions and Answers Thread

Is this a good romhack?:

(Level Select code is up,up,left,right)
(To play as Tails press b on the og controller. To play as Knuckles press down. You have to press the buttons on the title screen.)

 

I cant get Clownacy's Elemental Shields Tutorial part 3 to work in my romhack

 

I don't know how to fix your problem off the rip, but it might be more helpful if you mentioned the location of the issue, and maybe what about it isn't working... That could be a bit more assistive to give people who DO know more of an idea on how to help you resolve your problem. hope my response helped a bit

 

So something I noticed is first, the methods to pick your characters are a little odd but nothing to weird.
However while playing your level, I noticed the attempt at an art replacement from Emerald Hill, and I did want to let you know that there is an easier way to port over EHZ's chunks if you're using a version of Sonic 1 that uses 128x128 chunks unlike the original version does. I also noticed that in your hack, that Tails didn't have his tails when he was rolling, which I'm pretty sure are on S3K's sprites, just as a seperate object, there was a lot of cut off chunks (shown in the picture), and very unfair object placement sections (One in particular, the end of Act 2's spring into 4 buzz bombers)

These are things that can be fixed relatively easily (Aside from the Tails problem), and I think you're doing a good job by getting some new features implemented into your hack, as it'll expose you to assembly pretty early into your "hacking career".
Also, after I beat the boss for Bird Hill, the music changed to Rusty Ruin, not sure if that was intentional or not.

 

Question. I'm working on some Sonic + stuff on Github (my userpage is https://github.com/SONIC123CDMANIA) and I'm planning on having zones have more than 2 acts (for S2/3&K/2 SW, I don't know about more than 3 for S1), and I don't know if anything (besides the zone order table for S2/SW) would be affected, or how the zone order table would be affected. Please help.

 

(this is to answer the stuff that yami said about my romhack)the problem for clownacy's part 3 video was I had followed the megapcm and sonic 2 Spindash tutorial for github which prevented me to add the DMA Queue used in clownacy's video.

for 1, the character thing is from the sonic retro tutorial for how to add a new character and I used it for Tails and Knuckles.
for 2, I do not know how to make it 128 by 128 instead of 256 by 256 so the chunks are 256 by 256. I just liked how sonic 2's emerald hill tiles looked (The first Tile) so I put it into my level.
for 3, I do not know how to add tails's tails so he doesn't have tails, if I gave you the source code for the romhack, would you help add them?
for 4,All 52 Chunks are used in my Romhack and I dont know how to add more so there is cutoff areas.
for 5, I am updating the object stuff for act 1 and i'll look at act 2 so that should be fixed in the mysterious marble zone demo i'm releasing for christmas.
for 6, Rusty Ruin act 2 was the old music for all acts of BHZ. Then I changed act 1's music to azure lake zone's music track. then act 2 to Green Grove act 2. then RRZ was unused when I replaced act 3's music to angel island act 2.(also if you want to hear the music for all levels you can use the sound test, the og locations of sonic 1's music for other levls are the act 2 version, Except for Bird Maze zone which has it's act 1 music.)
for 7, Thanks for the feedback on my romhack! I really appreciate it!

 

...Please help...anyone.

 

listen, im new to romhacking so I can't answer your question.

 

that hack has potential.

 

sorry for writing here 2 times, i need help, how i can fix this?
btw this happens when i try to enter to level select

 

What Sonic game is this a Romhack of? and also when did this start happening?

 

Its my Sonic 1 Hack, Sonic New Adventures, and honestly, i dont know in what rom started that problem

 

judging by the code in your error code it seems like a s2 lvl select could be the reason why it crashes.could you give me the souce code for your s2_menu.asm?

 

Sure (my disasm is github asm68k btw)

 

So you may have know that I released a demo for Bird Hill in my RomHack on November 21 of this year and I want to release a new demo early but again of Bird Hill Island Because I added new stuff that wasn't in the old demo.

So, is this a good 2nd demo of Bird Hill in my Bird HIll Island on Sonic 1 Romhack?

(Same level Select and Character Select as last demo)

 

I just realized that I misunderstood the message T-T

 

I knew that your response to that was weird

Also, since my message from earlier is buried deeper now, im going to quote the message and repost the rom

 

so i send my disasm?

 

yeah, just send me the source code for the dissemblly through a Conversation in ssrg.

 

I am pretty new to Sonic ROM hacking, I have been working on my hack for about a week know and have made some good progress! I wanted to know how to add one of those start menus like Sonic Megamix, I am using the ASM 68K disassembly btw.
