What not to do in a hack/what to add in a forum about you hack

before I start staff please put this where necessary and if you must please pin it.


Many of you know of my hack sonic unlimited which is slowly becoming "a what not to do in a hack/ what to add in a forum about your hack" forum. So that's what this is.


First know what you what to do, don't just edit randomly. Have credits like this:

have screenshots and ask for any Comments/Criticism. Don't steal from other hacks and of you accidentally do make sure you tell that person that you didn't know you were stealing. Don't use only Tutorials use your own codes (as long as they work.)


If anyone thinks I'm missing anything please post it here.

 

Make good layouts, art (level and sprites) and palettes. Music is kinda unnecessary but do that If you can.


When you are trying to make some asm code\port something from another game, try before you ask. Fixing errors is the easiest thing, just look at the line of the error. Example:

Code:

C:\HACKS\S1ADVED\SONIC1.ASM(36087) : Error : Op-code not recognised

 fsesgr

The line will be always next to the file (SONIC1.ASM is the file and 36087 is the line, search with Ctrl+G).


Op-code is the command. fsesgr is not a command so you got the error.
