Get your Custom NPCs right here folks!

Could you post the code?

Oh and right Aar, I finally remember to do you thing.

offset NPC---

#define
L_frame_distance = 0
U_frame_distance = 0

sprite_width = 10
sprite_height = 10
#enddefine

push ebp
mov ebp,esp
sub esp,10
xor eax, eax
mov dword [ebp-10],eax
mov dword [ebp-c],eax
mov dword [ebp-8],eax
mov dword [ebp-4],eax
setpointer

cmp npc.direction, 2
jne :render
mov eax, playerYpos
add eax, -1000
mov npc.Y, eax

mov edx, playerXpos
mov npc.X, edx


:Render
mov al, L_frame_distance
mov npc.DisplayL, al
add al sprite_width
mov npc.DisplayR, al

mov al, U_frame_distance
mov npc.DisplayU, al
add al sprite_height
mov npc.DisplayD, al
mov esp,ebp
pop ebp
retn

You will have to set the frame distance yourself along with the NPC number.

 

Could you post the code?

Changing the height define doesn't change anything in game.
(the sprite is never taller than ~10~)

 

I don't see anything wrong with the code at all...

*slowly facepalms*

Are you sure you're setting the scriptstate properly/ your bitmap is set up properly/ your framerect_distance is not set to "XX" before assembling?

Must be my assembling then...

I'm sorry...

If you mean the <TSC code then yes, bitmap should be fine (I'm no artist though so I could be wrong) and yes (I updated my OP).

No I'm talking about in defines.



You can't modify the OP, you're not a mod or the user who made Opening Post to the thread?

 

(NPC 133 is an example, I wanted to use 014.)

When I try to assemble it, this happens.
Do I need to do some sort of hex conversion?

 

Do you even have it defined?

 

All the evidence points against it.

You need to download it in the OP and place it in the same folder as the assember.


E: apparently the link was invalid, fixed now.

 

He could also put exact offset instead of "npc017" or whatever.

 

No I'm talking about in defines.

Found out the real problem (I really need to do more testing before I start complaing about a problem...).
The defines were working in reverse.
Setting the sprite height to a higher number was increasing the NPC's size down. (See fig 1)

=NPC. ^ or V = Size increase.
^
1 2
V

I had meant my Other Post (forgot that also meant Opening Post )

 

Hey, I need an enemy that chases you around and one-hit-kills you.
Basically, something like a grave keeper that always follows, and maybe jumps over obstacles? (might be way too hard to make this part.)
You don't actually have to make the "jumping over obstacles" part, I'll just design my map over it instead.

Yay, I like it when I can pull straight from my notes.

it's not affected by gravity, is that an issue?

 

Yeah, kind of. I thought he'd chase you down the stairs at one point or another

 

Hey, is there any way that you can make a command for tsc that works like FAC, only can draw from multiple face sets? If you can, that would be great. What I mean by that is that 1 face set would be 0000, another would be named 0001, and so on, and can use the faces like normal. Thanks regardless. Sorry for a bump, but I saw it and didn't notice until now. Sorry.

 

why can't you just use <FAC

 

I am going to need the ability to use more than one face set, so the story can be more detailed.

 

but what do you mean by more than one faceset
do you mean extending the height of the face.bmp/pbm?

 

I don't think that would work. What I mean is it would choose a face set, then choose a face from that face set to display, so I can add a face for most npcs in my mod.

 

That's more work than it originally is
Just use <FAC normally

 

I don't think that would work.

It does though.

You can extend facesets with no issues.
