Good

I managed to get it working.

Only good...there is a problematic line and I had to comment on it

 

Do you know what that line is for? Try to read the lines and understand what they do. Removing lines that do not allow you to build does not mean that it solves the error

 

IDK if this belongs here but would i be allowed to create a thread in the lounge just for memes?
just wanted to know if i could so i dont get banned for trying

 

A while ago, someone tried to do something like that, and while it got some posts, and it didn't last too long before it got trashed.

 

oh i was just wondering if i was allowed

 

I need help. The levels with water keep crashing no matter what.
I also will upload the source code as IDK whats the problem

 

I will give you a clue


The game can't seem to properly uncompress this file

 

Oh thanks. I'll fix it later.

 

(Its been a while since the last time I posted here so in theory this isn't a doble post)

Anyway, the game partially works, but now the game "crashes" randomly in LZ and SBZ. Crashes between quotation marks cus it just... Frezzes in place. No error message, the music still goes, so IDK whats going on.

 

I think I know your problem.

Sounds like the small platforms on the conveyor belt (some spins) may need to be deleted. Unless someone knows a proper fix, use a level editor

 

It doesn't matter anymore it was cause of This: https://info.sonicretro.org/SCHG_How-to:Add_a_new_zone_in_Sonic_1#First-time_fix_3

 

Trying to add a new zone in Sonic 1 and this happened

 

how can i port over the "KNUCKLES THE ECHIDNA IN:" object from sonic 2 github to sonic 1 github?

 

[Managed to solve this by using Selbi's S3 Sprites from the ERaZor source code, you can trash this]

 

came here earlier to make an addendum/solved to an older problem (it's probably trashed by now due to it being solved)
but uh i have a NEW problem

i tried to change the palette (i reversed it in this screenshot) and for some reason the stage begins to freak out????
any help, it'd be greatly appreciated

 

Is there a solution to remove the lives system in Sonic 1/2/3&Knux?

 

Scrap Brain 1 has stopped loading sound effects completely and I don't know why.
i'd like to fix this soon, i have MegaPCM and SMPS2ASM installed in my hack, and I'm using Hivebrain's Split and Text ASM68K Disassembly
EDIT: Solved this, it was an issue with the script for loading sound $88- Since I changed the music utilized there, i simply commented it out (dumbly might i add)
so i uncommented it, and i moved the slot to load it to $FF and that fixed it.

 

Depends on what you want. If you want just infinite lives, you could do it the hacky way and just set the lives variable to 3 everytime a level is loaded, and simply not load the HUD lives graphic. There is certainly a more technical way to do this properly, but this is what came to mind.

If you want to reset like Sonic 2 2-Player does, you'd need to modify KillSonic to load your last saved position, whether it is the level start, the last checkpoint, Special Stage, etc.

 

theres one illegal value thats stoping me from adding new zone id(s)

 

You need to extend LoopTunnelList. This should be a 4-byte address placed at the end of the table to accomodate your new zone.
