Get your Custom NPCs right here folks!

Could you make Balrog IV have two new attacks - lightning strike and flame blast?

 

I'm going to say no.

1# The hardest/most time consuming this is to give bosses new attacks. I have to basically rebuild the entire boss from scratch. optimize it and throw a new attack in without taking any more space.

2# You are actually making a mod?

Cause what it looks like is I'm gonna do this for a mod that will have one or two releases and then die.

Modified Rule 7.

check the OP.

 

Make an Boo (from Super Mario Bros.3 and up) that stalks you, but is looks away when you look at it.

Sure, that'll be easy.

It might be a while though because of other orders and stuff.

 

Might be helpful to start a queue in the OP

Check the defines if you want to change some stuff like the velocity and the framerect area.

Also change the offset to replace the desired NPC.

Thank you for your business.

@TPcool
I didn't forget about you, it's just that this only took 10 minutes, I've put a decent ammount of time into your NPC's.

Though about it, but never got around to it.

I'll do it now.

No problem at all, man. I especially appreciate that you're putting a good deal of time into it! Thank you.

 

Not sure if it's possible or something, but all I really want for the moment is for you to make the Muscle Doctor boss more 'Aggresive'. Nothing like new attacks, but I just mean making delays between his next move much shorter to make it simple, or heck if you want to go the extra mile, make some of his attacks go in sequence like some sort of combo.

I'm pretty much going to tell you that I want to be absolutely dead last in your que considering that particular boss in question won't be in my next demo of JJ, but it would be nice 'insurance' to have it ready by the time comes. Whenever it will be.

Course this is just a request, so your real choice on the matter.

I could do it, I'm sure it would just require changing some numbers to have less delay.

It's nice to hear that JJ isn't dead. I was starting to think.....

I'll do something, but it might be a while
because of allthe other stuff piling up.

 

Make a cup of steaming hot coffee that hovers above the player, and then dumps it's contents on him.

Oh yeah, the cup is huge and big and stuffmongous.


. . .


On a more serious note, how hard would it be to make such a boss? Would it be a good basic idea?

Does the pot take damage?

And how would that contents act? Just spill randomly?

That would be quite easy, either way, I could whip up something in a few minutes....

It's most definitely a start.

Though I'm not exactly sure what for...

stuffmongous

Really?

 

Could you make a Buzz Bomber from Sonic the Hedgehog?

Sure. (sound's easy)

I'll start on it soon.

I'm having a problem with Doukutsu Assembler. It says that there's no equal sign in the defines.txt file.

 

my defines.txt is written for assembler v0.4

 

That's why. I've been using v1.31.

 

Oy. I've got a request if you don't mind. Doesn't really matter where on the list it is, because I'm making it myself, but I'm a beginner to ASM (but I've done plenty of programming, so I'm learning pretty quick). If you are a veteran to it, it would really help me understand good ASM methods, and also to see if you do a better job than me. Considering it's a request, I feel it would be only fair to give you a beta of the game as it is. I'll PM it to you later. My request: I want to replace Balrogs (First encounter) attack pattern with one where he runs around until he hits a solid object and then falls over and can't move for a few seconds (or long enough for you to attack him with a short range attack and do some damage.)

I'm using version 1.31 and it assembles perfectly.

You are using the defines provided in the OP, right?

Well, If your learning ASM I recommend browsing through Open-source assembly hacks by Noxid It's got some good code for the assembler that really helped me to become a more efficient coder. (hint: CAM)

And don't, don't look at Pixels code, he probably had the worst compiler ever made, the code it inefficient and constantly wastes space.

As for the balrog, well, It would be a while, after I finished TP's requests I want to get back to work on my mod and finish the first part of my ASM hacking guide. Boss battles are one of the hardest things to build because I have to start from scratch.

I *could* just make the attack function though.

 

I have a request. You know Weaville in Brawl, how he dashes from side to side to attack? I'd like to have something like that, maybe it would activate once the player is detected in front of them?

I was about to say. Last night I realised that when I right clicked and saved the defines link, all what came out is this weird HTML coding from dropbox, but when I opened the link, it took me to dropbox and got the correct defines. And now it worked for me.
