Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

You can do just about anything to the game in assembly, it's just much more difficult to do so since the code is very raw compared to what you might do in Booster's Lab or Cave Editor. If you want to get started, I'd suggest checking out Carrotlord's guide on how to use it and Noxid's asm compendium.

 

Assembly is pretty much the game's hardcode instead of just the TSC scripts. It contains stuff like physics, npc behavior, rendering, weapons and much else. With ASM hacking (done with often a debugger like ollydbg) we refer to editing the assembly of the game's .exe file. The hex editor and hacking tool in BL do asm hacking too.
Doing your own ASM hacking isn't easy though, and you can easily ruin your mod if you dont know what you're doing, so its kinda something like advanced modding.

you should be able to do it in BL's hackinator or CE's bullet data window. Just uncheck "Break Blocks" I think.

Have you tried promoting them to SWAT team?

How to make new NPC and Enemy with a new picture,no edit just new

Open up paint.net and get working. Just save the image as NpcName.bmp

 

Already did

 

Ok there's more to it than that, you can redraw sprites but you can't change behavior

 

Its impossible to program new enemy weapon or stuff like that ?

 

It's possible but it involves heavy asm hacking.

 

How would I go about shortening (or removing) the cut-scene before the title screen in ASM?

There is a hack for it in the Haxinator now in BL that let's you set how many frames the pre-title screen exists. I'm not sure if it's in the most recent version of BL but Enlight's .xml folder has it for sure.

To code enemies you need to learn x86 assembly If you're really interested in picking this up you can start here:

When you finish that you can check this out:

If you have any assembly related questions I'm more than happy to assist.


E: Everyone says that assembly is hard to learn and pick up, but actually once you have the core basics down it's actually not hard at all. It just takes a decent level of understanding to get down. After that is becomes fairly simple to program NPCS, add main game loop functions, TSC and more. It just takes a little bet of time to understand and master just like any other skill.

E2: Also Mr.Destroyer, there are a lot of assembly knowledgeable people in the discord server in my sig that would be willing to assist you if you're wanting to pick ASM up, check it out if you desire.

 

I'll go with this,thanks
Oh and before I go I heard you make a money hack can you pass it pls

 

I would, but many people have told me that the current version is broken and I don't have any backups on my PC right now so you'll have to wait for me to fix things.

 

Oh that fine,thanks for the response anyway

Thanks, I must've been either using an older version of BL or it didn't come with the extra tools.

Nope, I'm just lazy and haven't finished submitting the 50 or so new XMLs to Noxid yet.

 

is there any way to save two times
like the ballos thing saves one in the top left can i save another time in the top right somehow separate from the top left one

without doing anything too crazy

 

no
