Booster's Lab - It's Pretty Good Now

My thoughts on yao- I mean...

I noticed that correct entity display only happens when an entity is in the appropriate tileset. With maps using PrtWeed, the Behemoth displays as a Power Critter, but with maps using PrtEggs1, it displays as a Behemoth. But I think this can be concidered a feature and not a bug at current, since it might give newbies the idea to steer clear of entities they can't use with a certain tileset anyway.

Yeah, that is intentional. It was also easier on me to set up the data, although perhaps not to program... but it also saves memory use since all the npc sheets don't need to be loaded at once.

I attempted to change an NPC set and it said "Error loading image C:\[......]\data\Npc\Weed.pbm". I renamed the NpcWeed set to what it wanted and it worked, but that's still an oversight. Prt tilesets also neglect the prefix, but Bk backgrounds work just fine. But, if I change these using Map Right-click -> Modify, then I can change them just fine (although Bk0 is preselected so I have to reselect the proper background, and also this dialog is incorrectly labeled Resize Map).

That is a bug.. I'll get it fixed for the next release. I must've divorced some of that functionality between the inline version of the mapdata editor and the popup version.

Other than that, everything appears to be working fine.

Some questions:
-Can you make the script window so that it docks when toggled?
-When will you implement game settings such as start location setting (although that's not an absolutely vital priority)?
-What is "Draw Order"? (Although I can guess)

1) Yeah, that shouldn't be too hard, and it'll give something to go in that big empty space.
2) Eventually.. a lot of those are actually hacks, so when I get the hacking dialog up and running those will be included as default hack options.
3) It's the order in which the entities get drawn to the screen; higher draw order gets laid overtop of lower. (technically, it's also the order they occur in the file). Useful to change if you don't want things walking behind doors.

By the way, I formatted the complete TSC to be used in BL. Just replace everything below the line [CE_TSC] with the spoilered text below.

e2: fixed info on myb and xx1
e3: num is a much odder beast than my past-self thought past self was right
e4: fixed info on unj
e5: added info on bsl, cat, and sat
e6: finalized all non-fob information.

 

Would it be possible to put an assembler into the editor? You can use the code from the Doukutsu Assembler, which is open source.

Doesn't have to be complicated. If you don't want the inline syntax highlighting editor, just put in a couple of buttons and checkboxes for assembling files. Everything else is just code in the background.

 

Edit: Slightly modified version of Jackie's list.

...No catchy names like ArMs +? Dude!

(I appreciate your fixes, though, since I thought some of these were kinda flaky.)

 

MYB 1 d--- Causes the PC to hop in direction W.

The direction defined with MYB is inverted.

 

Ah, thank you. I couldn't remember :[
(edited my previous post)

I'm also a bit confused about <UNJ and <FOB, if you guys could help there. For the first, I'm wondering what exactly is meant by "has taken damage"; like, taken damage since when? And if this command exists, why did pixel create a special entity during the ikachan fight which dies if you take damage? As for <FOB, I'm wondering why it has two args. I'm assuming it only works for map-bosses (because otherwise you could use <FON), but if that is indeed the case, there is only one map-boss so you wouldn't need to specify which one to focus on.

If any people who've used TSC recently could help, that'd be great.

Edit: could someone see if <NUM0M:0 prints out the current health? What I said earlier is from some of my notes from a long way back, and olly isn't working atm so I cannae double-check.

 

Ah, thank you. I couldn't remember :[
(edited my previous post),

Happy to help. It's confused me every time I've tried to use it.

I'm wondering what exactly is meant by "has taken damage"; like, taken damage since when? And if this command exists, why did pixel create a special entity during the ikachan fight which dies if you take damage?

I'm guessing it's damage taken between entering the map and using the <UNJ command, because of the event you just stated. Maybe in the code for the game, there's the equivalent of an <NCJ for the entity that is killed if you're hurt, and that's what causes Ikachan to spawn and you to get the medal. Just a guess, though.

Edit: could someone see if <NUM0M:0 prints out the current health? What I said earlier is from some of my notes from a long way back, and olly isn't working atm so I cannae double-check.

<NUM0M:0 writes "0" for me, no matter what I do.

Not sure about FOB, sorry.



EDIT: I've just tested <UNJ.

#9998
<KEY<MSGYou lose.<NOD<CLO<END
#9999
<KEY<UNJ9998<END

So if #9999 is performed, and damage has been taken, the event should switch to #9998. But whether I take damage or not, it always freezes the game (the music still plays and it runs fine, it's just it's as if <END is never performed).

 

Fixed the info on <UNJ. It takes two arguments, and does a jump if the movement type is equal to the first arg.
The reason it was acting like there was no <end in your script is because it was taking that as an argument.

Also CAT and SAT are literally the exact same command.

 

Odd that CE thought it only had one parameter.
So it checks what UNI is set as? I guess that makes sense.

 

Yup.
So the first argument in <FOB goes off to points to the x and y values that are eventually focused on. By that, I'd guess that the number of the map-boss should be used as the argument, but everytime that <FOB is used ingame (that I can tell), a null argument of 0000 is used. Would someone care to test what happens when you plug in various numbers?

Other than that, it looks like num is the only remaining point of unclarity (the thing I previously said is very, very, very not true. also there's this funky thing with division by powers of ten and such). The body of that can be found at 0x421d10 if you feel like looking, but I'm tired of doing this now so Imma stop.


e: In retrospect, that weird thing with powers of ten is probably the number-drawing routine, and I may have actually been right in the past.

e2: Yeah I was right originally. This is pretty super cool because it means that any ram value between 494f74 and 4fa53c can be written as text. That means, like, your current health, max health, which face picture is currently showing (00/0), the width and height of the map, and quite a few other things. I'm sure SOMEONE can find a cool use for it.

If you have an offset in mind but don't know what argument to use for num, the argument equals (offset-0x4a5b34)/4. Use ascii chars to write negative or huge arguments.

 

Much thanks to Lace for his fixes. I've added in the necessary tabs, and the command names.

Clever....

 

0.1.1.0 up!

Most importantly, the entity editor should be more or less fully functional now. Other changes noted in OP except in situations where I forgot.

Next on the to-do list is integrating the TSC editor better and adding the ScriptBuilder dialog slash thing, and possibly either integrating Carrotlord's assembler and/or coming up with some kind of other tool for simple hacks.

 

Not sure if this can be done or not, but is it possible to add a function that searches all .tsc files within the data folder for a certain string? It would be wonderful for locating a used flag or if you forget the map in which you gave the player a certain item.

Coolio. Love the hex patcher.
You should turn the hex patcher into a hex editor. That is, something that both reads and writes hex pairs.

This is a classic example of recursion.
Each sprite is defined as a spritesheet, and each sprite in that spritesheet is a spritesheet, ad infinitum.

Im getting the same problem.
I think its because the enetityInfo file was based on the King's Story mod.But the images are from your data folder, so it becomes very messed up.(for some reason most of the pictures were of Igor)

it'll be fixed for next release

 

Can you add a game settings button so we change the game title, remove the (C)Pixel requirement, etc.?
