Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

Maybe make the new option into a sort of quick refresher of whatever happens in the first mod, and have a sort of default storyline? Or just package the first mod in a folder next to the new one. Or make new an info thing, where you say that you need to play the first game in order to play, and exit to the title screen once the player says okay.

Edit: You could also make the new game thing a boss rush mode.

 

Well that would likely drive off most players. Explaining the situation would likely get them to play the first one, while insulting them would most likely just make them not want to play.

 

Ah okay, maybe later if you become really good at coding you could make a simple launcher that can call the separate exes from their own data folders and just start them, which could save a bit of confusion, but that would also require changing the saveing and loading location... Never mind that I said anything this is a bad idea.

 

Maybe you could have the new game lead to a limited demo version

 

Make the Load button always be the default option.

Place a profile in the mod folder

 

You sure are being accusatory when people actually do try to answer you

 

What part of always don't you understand?[/u]

It is always default (as long as there is a profile)

 

Sorry, George. Let me rephrase:
People without a profile should have load selected by default.
People should not be able to navigate to the new option.

Why though? If they create a new one you could set the starting event to the 'Please load save from NET story' or something.
If you're going to have the save reload itself, you can use a skipflag before <INI to make a difference between the save files.

 

It is set to that.

What the fuck are you talking about?!
I came here for a simple assembly hack, I don't know what you're talking about.

If its so simple then look through the functions list and find out how to get rid of it yourself

 

Sorry, George.

It's Goerge, can't you spell it right, Zinx?

and lol basically learn to make the hack yourself because it's such a stupid idea that it's unlikely somebody will help you with that

 

Rather then forcing people to play first game, I'd have it so that you get starting bonus in 2nd game for playing 1st.

 

No.
Stop telling me what to do.

lol

 

Yes, because I am a competent assembly hacker. And every other hack I have ever made hasn't ended in the game crashing and me in tears.

Nobody starts out amazing, assembly takes time and practi-

actually since you probably won't take anyone else's advice maybe you'll listen to your own

git gud and lern

 

OK, if you insist on me doing it myself then here's my question:
When I find the function what the fuck do I do to disable it?

git gud and lern

If you want a hint, I'd look for where in the titlescreen function it checks for the UP and DOWN key presses, since that will be the code that moves the selection from NEW to LOAD and vice versa.

 

I found that quite funny actually.

Play around with the code, and see what happens. You're probably the first person who ever wanted to do this, so be the forefront of your research

 

Good, then this shitfest can end

try this

 

Alright, here's another question: How would one increase the fire rate at which a gun shoots when you hold the key (Like the Bubbler and Machine Gun) or how do you set a weapon to auto-fire? I can't be bothered to look through all the existing weapons for the code BTW

autofire has to be implemented by adding some code, it's not a value or anything

as for the firing speed
0041E457 CMP ECX,6
machine gun firing speed, lower the value for faster firing, and remember to set maxbullets to something higher

0041F2DA CMP ECX,3
bubbler lv2/3 firing speed, same deal as with machine gun

I meant where does the code for auto-fire start? I want to create my own weapon that auto-fires, and I also want to find the code and copy it in, then fix it up or something

EDIT: I've also got another question. How would you edit the tilesets? For example, tile 41 is solid and 44 is no NPCs. How would I edit the unused tiles into a tile that's actually useful? If you can't tell me that, can you tell me the offset for the tilesets?
