Most of my level ideas involve weapons I want to make in assembly, but I doubt I'll ever get around to them, so here goes: -weapon: teleports you 3 squares in the direction you are pointing. The level has lots of enemies that chase you so you have to teleport out of the way. -weapon: makes...

I have also tried and failed to do this, despite many many attempts. Noxid may be right, but maybe not. Whether or not you have the missle could be checked every time a powerup is about to be created. I can tell you that the missiles created when an entity dies and the ones created by placing...

Also, in practice almost nobody uses x86, because C compilers are better than most people at optimizing. The only people that do are professional reverse engineers, people who make antivirus software (which arguably could fall into the first category) people who make compilers, and people who...

If you only want to learn for the sake of learning assembly, x86 is not the way to go. I've heard Z80 is pretty good for beginners though. If you want to hack cave story, you will need to know x86 of course. For anyone interested, the reason x86 assembly is so hard to learn is because the good...

Nice code! I was thinking about a way to do this, but I couldn't come up with anything that doesn't require the sprites to be rearranged. (I like creating better code that works with existing assets) Very impressive!

Re: I want this book One of my coworkers played (and loved) Cave Story. That was kinda cool. Other than that, no one I know had played it before I convinced them to :o

Dude he asked, so I answered. Since when does two offtopic posts constitute spamming? If you hadn't posted this, it probably would never have been mentioned again, and we could have returned to talking about Cave Editor. So please, drop this discussion right now and stop contributing to the...

We use Tiled as the map editor for games my company makes, and there are some things it does really well. There are also some things it does very poorly at, but oh well. Some features I like from it (that are applicable to cave story) are being able to refresh images if you edit them outside of...

You got it.

There is a list of all the entity locations somewhere, I could find if for you or you could... USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!! :D

There are 2 versions of JMP, a far jump and a near jump. You are correct if you are talking about the far jump, but the near jump is actually more like ADD EIP,10. The near jump takes a single byte as its operand, so it can only jump a max of 0xFF bytes away. So since the only type of jump you...

RETN is really just another name for POP EIP (taking the top value of the stack, and moving it to the instruction pointer) so RETN doesn't actually just exit a subroutine, but that is what it is almost exclusively used for. Hope this helps. PS - RETN apparently stands for RETurn Near and there...

FRAPS is supposed to be really good for recording full screen games and ok for recording a window. I'm pretty sure there is a free version you could try.

It could also mean the game is still running. (Or open in some other program like a hex editor.)

TEST EAX,EAX is basically equivalent to CMP EAX,0 but it runs a bit faster and I think takes a little less space. For the second part you are correct, but for some reason the compiler doesn't like adding in RAM, it prefers to move the data to a register, add to it, and move it back. Possibly...

http://www.hex-rays.com/idapro/idadownfreeware.htm Seiously, though, Olly is rediculously easy to use. Its a hell of a lot easier than Rune's compiler, and if you need tips, I wrote a quick guide in the Un-Advanced Hacking topic.

Re: Noxid's Assembly Compendium Yeah that works.

Re: Noxid's Assembly Compendium Could you remove these please? I don't really like having multiple copies of everything I made all over the place, because if the thing needs updating, only the versions I can change will be updated. I would actually prefer it if Noxid's original document linked...

Well, I found myself with a little bit of spare time on my hands, and I was itching to work with assembly, cause I hadn't in a few months, so I made this hack to ML+. The best part of this hack is that you can implement it into a mod at any time, and it won't screw up any ML+'s that you already...

Midterm week. ;) Also, I be sneaky. Also, I interviewed for a job where I would be programming in assembly, which would be pretty cool. Then I could actually do stuff the way pros do it. (Because, well, technically, I would be a pro. :rolleyes:)

yup, pretty much. I have no idea. What I would do is look at FL+ to find out what space is used to store the flags, then use one of those variables. I'm pretty sure they are global variables, so you can do whatever you want with them, you don't have to use them for flags. Just make sure you...

The first one: It looks lke when he is invisible, he doesn't move. This sounds pretty normal to me. The second one: testing something with itself will determine if it is zero. The reason its used instead of CMP is because it is faster. It can only tell equal, or not equal, though. The...

as long as you know the memory locations of quotes position, it shouldn't be too hard. look at the balrog entity, and see if you can find out how it works. Sorry, but I don't have time to give you any more that that right now. Mid terms coming up :(
