Get your Custom NPCs right here folks!

I don't see what's wrong with my grammar.(?)

editing the Framerect distance is easy peasy, I purposely set it to 0 so that you could put it where you wanted. if you can't do that, then I don't know why I'm even making these if they can't be utilized properly.. (also you're making the Sue NPC worthless in the process )

1. I didn't mean about your grammer (that was fine) I meant my last post (Should've worded THAT better instead I guess...).

2A. I know how to edit the Framerect distance I just didn't want to at the time since I planned on having Momorin get her own sprite sheet (which In heinsight is probably a bad idea...).
2B. I made a copy of NpcRegu and renamed it NpcMomo so I din't have to worry about over writing any other npcs (IE. Sue and Santa).

 

All I got from that last statement is "My raging superiority complex is preventing me from making NPCS for people who don't know basic assembly."

I'm not saying this to be a jerk, but you're not helping.

And the framerect distance is quite simple/straight forward like most the rest of the defines.

1 Honest mistake on my end, sorry.

2a Yeah, that would mean that you could only use her on that specific map instead of all the maps.

2b Okay

Was I trying to help? I don't recall having that goal in mind.

 

No cat, you were trying to be a jerk, and succeeding. Blink here is in no way expecting too much by expecting the people asking for NPCs to have basic knowledge of ASM. I don't think that Blink has a superiority complex, but rather that you have an inexplicable hatred for blink that leads you to try and pick fights with him, as is the case now.

 

Well, that's what I get for trying to stick up for someone who was having trouble. GG, I guess.

 

All I got from that last statement is "My raging superiority complex is preventing me from making NPCS for people who don't know basic assembly."

This statement would be more valid if he didn't just make the NPC for the person in question.

 

I talked with blink and apologized and it's all cool now; sorry I guess I was in a bad mood or something.

 

Well now that that storm's blown over...

More Info N' Stuff (C) Deadmau5

Done and Done!
Now I just need to figure out why she wont walk left... (maybe because I used a Skip <CNP with a direction of 2 and she wont turn around?)
Oh, and a frame is missing while walking(?).
(This happened with the other NPC you gave me)

When walking it seems to go on a Frame 1 -> Frame 2 -> Frame 3 -> Loop.
(See top left of attachment for art stuff thats probably useful)
View attachment 438

After some more testing with no. of frames and such I concluded that Momorin is infact skipping frame 2 while walking
(it had nothing to do with how I arranged the sprites).

Still can't figure out why she wont turn around...

...I think it was one of these two reasons:

1. I wanted to keep it simple and not change the framerect for easier(?) editing.
2. I couldn't be bothered to fiddle with it until it was overtop of original Momorin.

Just remembered the real reason...

When ever I set U_framerect to Bx (which is where Momorin is on the sprite sheet) she disappears in-game (as if I set U_frame to something too high)...


Heres the defines if that helps any.

is that better? (momorin is only 0x18 pixels high, that might be your issue)

Yes! All sprites are in working order!
But she still wont walk left...

Edit:
Found out the REAL problem.
Momorin always tries to walk away from where ever the player is regardless of what direction is specified.
So the reason that she wouldn't walk left is because the player was on the left side of the screen.

Also she can only walk toward you anyway.

I'm assuming there's no way to remove that walking limitation?

Would it be easier if you dropped the facing player ability?
(I just now realised that I don't need that function)

I spelled "height" wrong and like an idiot tried to correct it halfway.

replace all instances of heigth with height

 

Hey there, BLink.
I'd like your assistance, as long as you're not busy.

All I need is an NPC that floats above the player's head (based on Santa's Key).
Thanks!

(Also I'd like to discuss the Kuro Blaster hack on Steam sometime soon)

What do you mean, based on Santa's key?

A three sprite animation?
Have it replace that NPC in the executable?
make it occupy that area on the spritesheet?


(okay)

 

Is it just me being bad at assembly or can I not adjust the height of the slideshow NPC that you made for me?
