Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

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?

congrats on 100 posts btw

anyway

first three lines: check if button is held, check if it's the fire button; if it's not, jump to 41e749 which is probably somewhere around the reload ammo code

then there's very unoptimized check if we can fire another shot after already firing one, basically everything before the last JMP

increase the timer, compare it to 6, jump the the shoot function (where the timer is put to 0 once again, mind you (last line of the code above)) if it's greater or equal to 6
if not, jump to the end of the weapon code

basically that's it

e: I don't think I ever played with the tiles so I can't say much here

Lol 100 posts
Anyway, thanks for saving me hours of flipping through the codes and confusing myself; I'll probably have to find the tiles myself

there are some things you can find in Noxid's resources that might be useful

00416E20 - Clear Player Tiles (Set 49E63C = 0)
00416E30 - Player Tile collision, Solid tiles
00417160 - Player Bump Against Ceilling
004171D0 - Player Tile Collision, Roof Slope 1
004172E0 - Player Tile Collision, Roof Slope 2
004173F0 - Player Tile Collision, Roof Slope 3
00417500 - Player Tile Collision, Roof Slope 4
00417610 - Player Tile Collision, Floor Slope 1
00417720 - Player Tile Collision, Floor Slope 2
00417830 - Player Tile Collision, Floor Slope 3
00417940 - Player Tile Collision, Floor Slope 4
00417A50 - Player Tile Collision, Water
00417AE0 - Player Tile Collision, Spike
00417B70 - Player Tile Collision, Spike (water)
00417C00 - Player Tile Collision, Wind (Left)
00417C90 - Player Tile Collision, Wind (Up)
00417D20 - Player Tile Collision, Wind (Right)
00417DB0 - Player Tile Collision, Wind (Down)
00417E40 - PC Tile checking algorithm

basically I think you'd need to make a new code with the collisions you need and then add that to the checking algorithm, but I can't be sure
I believe GIR had some custom tiles in WTF? Story so you might want to ask him about that

kinda

I am still planning to finish at least one normal mod lol

Yeah, I was referring to that. The 45 degree slopes, the tiles which you can only go up onto, etc

Lol meanwhile you're about to hit 1000 posts

 

Lol meanwhile you're about to hit 1000 posts

sadly, it's not even impressive considering my join date

anyway I might do a bit of research on the tiles, so if I find anything I'll let you know

 

I looked a bit at WTF story's tileset, and tile 47 seems to be the one that goes ◿, 48's the one that goes ◺, 49 goes ◹, and 4A goes ◸. 4B seems to be the block that you can stand on, can go through it from any direction but up, like those mario platforms.

EDIT: Fuck. The formatting doesn't work. Look at the screenshot I made

 

Gir wrote custom slope code, don't assume you can use anything from a mod that's so heavily modified

 

Better map design

 

Read my post please.

It's not a bug. Slope tiles were never meant to be walked on from the sides opposite of the slope.

The only way to fix this "bug" would be to rewrite the slope-tile code. And I imagine it wouldn't be easy/there would be difficulties, especially around the sharper point of the slope tile.

 

Also how do I edit the invincibility timer? The address in Noxid's assembly compendium (049E6C8) just sends me to a fuckton of ADD BYTE PTR DS:[EAX],AL.

That's the RAM address, not the address where the invincibility timer is set. Basically, the "invincibility timer" variable exists at all times, and is stored at [49E6C8]. You'll want to look for where in the executable the game actually sets a value to [49E6C8].

 

Try looking for where it's set, not where it's stored
e: nice ninja gir

 

Yes, this is true.

I thought I told you about the variables already... Right click and select 'Find references to selected command.' I thought you were pretty good at asm...

Hey GIR can you tell me how you rewrote the tileset? I sorta want some custom tiles in my mod and can't get started.

I'm not sure how I actually wrote the code to handle the slopes (I can't find any source files for it), but in my notes I do have this:

46a940 - NEW slope roof / bullet
46aa2a - NEW slope roof \ bullet
46ab10 - NEW slope floor \ bullet
46abfd - NEW slope floor / bullet

So if you're willing to open up WTF Story with olly debug, you can take a look at the code yourself. Other than that I don't really know.

I don't need the 45 degree slopes; I wanted to make the blocks that you can jump through and stand on top. I also wanted a mix between the tiles 44 and 41; Only entities configured to go through tile 44 can go through, NOTHING else can.

Eh, I would say that it's just slowed down. Not many new releases lately.

I mean...

I'm working on a mod.
zxin is working on 2 mods.
Miccs, uh... don't know where Colour Story is going...
Thomas Xin, i'm ASSUMING is working on a mod, what with all the modding questions.

And i'm sure others are working on there mods in secret.

The last mod created that was decent was... uhhh.

Zarro's Jenka's Nightmare and Video Game. (unless Dreams of Reality 2 came out after JNR?)

 

how do you change a map's size in BL?

On tile editor, right-click on the map, and there should be an option that says "resize map"
