Today, I did so much hacking I never thought I could do. This includes:
*super large weapon icons!
*fixed weapon menu!
*weapon speed indicator!
*an useful skill for Alita - Invinciblity!
*an useful skill for Duncan - Resistance!
*defense points counter!
All these things will be in the newest update of Tale of Dale - coming soon!

Very awesome~

Hmm... How do you go about hacking? Do you think you could detail the steps you follow to hack just one of your changes in Tale of Dale sometime? <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/grin2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Starting with how you find and isolate the specific item you want to alter... It might make a nice bonus to be released with Tale of Dale if it's not too time-consuming to make... Though I don't want to distract you from your mission!

Well, I just get an idea, start hacking, test it, try to fix if it doesn't work, test, and it loops until I'm finally done. Sometimes it takes me over six hours to fix something...

Hm, about the detailing... I could just post everything, but I suck at explaining, so it could come out... Weird.

And what bonus are you talking about?

Mmmm, I was just picturing one of those interviews with the producer that you find occasionally with some games. Or just a FAQ kind of a thing, for people who wondered about how Tale of Dale came about, etc.

Though with my particular question, I was just wondering if you had a nice laid out process that might help someone get into hacking. I've done some really random edits/scripts for games in the past, but I never tried ASM. Was just getting curious...
