I'm talking about the intel x86 architecture, I can't recall the line of chips, but they were made with a couple of 24-bit registers.

Must've been old then. Intel has been 32bit since the 386, back in the mid '80s. Are you sure you don't mean the external address bus? Those, back in the days of the 386, were indeed 24bit. Hardware's not my forte though, so I suppose some rogue 24bit data bus could've slipped into one of the earlier 32bit chipsets. >"<
Kinda off-topic, but hey.

Um...
Okay, I know some software stuff, but you guys got into hardware and totally lost me.
Can someone summarize that for me in layman's terms and tell me what this means for me as a very green hacker (or, in any case, as a person who wants to read a file in hex code).

Nothing much, really. Mainly that you're more likely to find data as 1, 2, or 4 bytes, but also that finding data packed in 3 bytes is not impossible. Just a little less likely.

Assuming you have an entity that actually works with the 0x0200 flag, when it hits 0 HP, it calls the event number assigned to it.
In the script for that event, you either need to use <ANP to run the sprite's death animation (if you know it), use <CNP to turn it into a different non-enemy sprite, or use <DNP to just make it go away.

I think it may have had something to do with MMX and 24 bit color.RuneLancer said:Must've been old then. Intel has been 32bit since the 386, back in the mid '80s.

On the subject of making boss fights work... Is there anything special about Monster-X? I just want a door that plops you right into the Monster-X fight. My first attempt just was just a regular <TRA command that send you on top of the hit trigger that starts the fight. Can someone help me out here?
Edit: Never mind got it working with some with some good old school trial and error.
