I'm moving back to my appartment (long story..) sometime this weekend, so it may be a little while after that before I can post any new updates. The actual level in question is complete, but I still have to add various event scripts in little side-rooms. It's not an overly difficult stage (being...

Only took me about 20-25 minutes to get everything... I think your connection is to blame, not their server. ;) A mirror would be a good idea if you're localized too far away to have a decent connection, I suppose.

Downloads fine for me. And if they have the space and hosting for it, why bother hosting it on a free service?

New screenshot of an incomplete stage. ;)

Anything that can output mnemonics instead of raw hex is fine. All the additional fluff won't make you into a better machine code hacker. In fact, bloat means it's more of a hassle to dump stuff and get what you want. Like I said, I use my own because I couldn't find anything that was command...

That project was never released publicly. It was a bit of a bet between myself and a few fellow ROM hackers from a community I was a part of until I lost interest in FF6 hacking. I might still have it on a CD somewhere in one of my boxes - I'll post it if I find it. I do have a few screenshots...

I was hoping there'd be a way, myself. But the only possible way would be to expand the code a little. The easiest way to do that would be a long jmp to some other address, but it's more effort than it's worth. Regardless, you'd also have to create a new tile type. ;) Thanks. ;) But like I...

Bit too late for that, I'm afraid. I've already edited the passage. Anyhow, the tank gets lost later on for a little while. One of the areas is completely filled with water, and pacing through that area is acheived through the lack of an air tank - you're likely to die if you attempt it before...

Added some startup information for those of you who want to start up with more (less?) than 3 health. 'Course you could just do that in the startup event but hey... Edit: I use my own x86 disassembler. I can simply dump a range of machine code to a text file and work at it there. It supports...

I decided I'd share this hack with the community. I just completed it a few moments ago and it works fine. Basically it causes your health to drop when you're underwater progressively instead of giving you an air counter which kills you instantly when you run out of oxygen. This hack does two...

I like that view. But I still think an editor should just be a backup tool to automate needlessly simple stuff, and that the real work should be done through blood, sweat, and tears. Well, no tears. Probably no blood either, unless you have a 4-5 year old chinese water dragon who enjoys scaling...

Probably not. I abhore giving people answers on a silver platter. It's always been my firm belief that if you want something, you should work for it. Little tidbits are fine, pokes and prods in the right direction too, but answers all neat and ready to use without an effort handed down on a...

I figured out the first one, but I'm keeping this stuff to myself for the time being until my hack is complete. Wouldn't want my more impressive findings to become unimpressive, common material by the time the hack is complete. ;) Still haven't found anything on NPCs yet, though. Like I said...

Uh, yeah... and...? That's the whole point of hacking, you realize? It's exactly what we're doing with the original game. If someone has the skills to figure out what's what and can use it to their advantage, they're doing what a hacker should be doing. That behavior should be encouraged. The...

Huh. The internet is a small place after all, huh? ;) Great hearing from you man. Nice work (tm), btw, on those remixes. I rather enjoy "Mimiga Vibe" and "Escape Route." :)

I thought I'd seperate the Original Sin hack thread from the actual findings I've been making. The above is a document I'm going to maintain whenever I find stuff that might interest people. I'll edit the first post whenever I add new stuff and make a new post in this thread every once in a...

Infinit Hover To prevent the Booster from running out of juice, simply change the following line to the one underneath... 85 D2 74 16 83 3D E8 E6 49 00 00 74 0D A1 E8 E6 85 D2 74 16 83 3D E8 E6 49 00 01 74 0D A1 E8 E6 This tells the code to stop removing "juice" from the Booster once it hits 1...

Some specs would help. What's your computer like? This game also makes use of DirectX to render its graphics. Make sure your card can support DirectX (is there such a thing as a modern (ie post Y2k) card which doesn't support DirectX?) and update your drivers.

...this is going to sound like a weird question but... you wouldn't happen to be from the OCR boards? Your name sounds oddly familiar... ;)

Hehe, you guys are gonna be keeping me busy for quite some time today, I'm sure of it. :p - The flooded area I can easily fix the door thing. The background was added as a last-second thing, so I never really noticed. All's I have to do is change the door's black to something slightly brighter...

My best is now 8:16. Quite an improvement, I guess. Useless trivia: the code is set to stop the Nikumaru counter after it hits 300,000 units of time. This is 50 minutes, I believe.

Yeah, it's a bit intentional. He's not meant to be hard, being the first boss, but he's a bit harder than the original battle was IMO. It wasn't intentional at first, but I felt it gave a bit of a sense of there being something left to do in that room before the whole scene was over. I got lazy...

I could. But I won't. I'll keep my findings to the boards as I decide to release them so that everyone may have a shot at their own hacks or be inspired to do some searching of their own. ;) I'm a bit of an elitist, but it's my belief that a hack should be the cumulative sum of the author's...

One last screenshot before I release a demo of this.. :) Unfortunately I can't seem to make Balrog look like what I want him to look, so I'll keep the original sprite for now. I nearly doubled his health though, seeing as getting the Handgun to level 3 is very easy. The uneven terrain makes...

I'll give testing a shot. I'm just about to create the end-of-demo boss fight for my hack, so I'll mess around with this and post my findings. ;)
