Open-source(?) assembly hacks by Noxid

I'm never probably going to use these again so I figured like
why let these things go to waste

Much of this stuff is from days of yore and I don't even know what it overrides / does / conflicts with. I figure if you're smart enough to decipher this garbage you're smart enough to use it. I don't plan to offer any support on these hacks, and some of them may not even be finished. The only one I won't give away is the 2x hack, for obvious reasons, and those I made for other people who may still be around. With that said, here you go!

HackInstaller hacks
Earlier hacks made for use with carrotlord's hack installer, these are poorly documented and poorly made. Buyer beware.

HackInstaller

Contents:
AnimatedTiles - This hack may or may not make tiles animated. The new layout will match what's shown in CE_TILES.png included, with right-side having three frame animiations.
BasicMouseHack - mouse controls to prove I can
EQJ and VAC - I have no idea what this does
HpBarHack - The hack that I posted in HP Bars for every entity thread
Org2xCompatible - I believe this hack is a compatibility hack for executables with the 2x resolution hack that want to take advantage of the OrgmakerV2 drums hack
ORGKutsu Manual Version - I believe this is the original release of the Orgmaker V2 drum hack
TIMG hack - This is the hack I posted before that allows you to show an image over the screen. Maybe handy for cutscenes. Also may be outdated.
TitleScreenHack - I dunno. Maybe it's my three-save title screen.
TSCHack - The original version of the <VAR hack. I believe this has been superceded by TSC+
WAV Org hack - I think this is my working implementation of the OrgV2 drum hack.

Doukutsu Assembler hacks
Hacks made since the introduction of the Doukutsu Assembler. I try to be self-documenting, but I'm not the best commenter because I assume too much prior knowledge. They're probably easier hacks to use and maintain, but there are still most likely overlap and incompatibilities.
assembler V0.4
assembler V1.31
Contents:
TSC Modifications: lots of stuff, from the improved parser to the <VAR hack to the CIN input line hack. Good stuff.
Shotgun: from my island contest mod
HolyWaterWeapon: I can't remember if this was finished or not, but I don't think it ever saw the light of day.
DeathCannon - As-of-yet unseen enemy in KSS.
Assault Mech - The walking chicken robot in KSS. Kind of buggy.
WatS Pest - Something for dragonboots, I don't think it does much.
WATS Pest NPC - ??
Turret NPC - A little turret kind of based on the ones in Iji, but these are lamer because they don't retract or anything.
Trolly - The little wheely thing in KSS that you stand on to drive. Or maybe this is the one from Island that goes too fast and crashes. I forget.
SuperCrit - Boss battle from the storeroom in KSS. A hyped-up critter.
SinCos - just what it says on the tin. I forget how to use it.
NPC039 - Runs its event when the player's health drops below a certain threshold dictated by its flag ID
NewDrumLoader - I assume an integral part of the OrgV2 hack.
MapSys - Something to allow better display of the map system on 2x hacked mods. However, you could rework it to make the map show other things if you wanted.
Lift - The improved "elevator" lifts in KSS. I think they work pretty good.
ExplodingBarrels - boom
defines - Pretty much necessary to compile any of these with the assembler.

e: It's come to my attention that these might not work with the latest version of the assembler. When in doubt, they were made in V0.4 so that's what's most likely to process them properly.

Other:
Lowell's TSC Physics hack: change the physics with a TSC command. And some other stuff. It comes with documentation of sorts.

My only request is that if you use these, either in whole or in part, that you give me some credit in your mod. Because like, I worked hard on these eh? And I'm probably going to be able to tell if you just take them and then I'll get mad at you and nobody wants that.

 

Thanks for these hacks, Nox.

 

where do I put the title screen thing?

 

If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be using these.

 

Can i have permission to use the NPC039 hack?
Second, i got the assembler set up, i opened my doukutsu.exe, and selected direct assemble with NPC039.txt as a test, and it say's it can't recognize offset "npc039". What offset do i change it to to get it to work?

 

I'm no expert but you probably want to use the offset, not the name of the hack

Offset = 0x??????, $0??????, or 00??????

 

I'm no expert but you probably want to use the offset, not the name of the hack

I know, but it said in the npc039.txt file that came in the zip "offset npc039"

 

-looking at .txt-

I'm fairly certain you're not supposed to copypaste that code. You actually have to plug the values in.

E: and by fairly certain I mean you MUST plug the values in

 

uhhhhhhhh it should be in defines.txt ... which you replace the existing defines.txt or whatever with

Hey Nox, JonSpider and I figured out the issue with the <IMG hack







YOU DIDN'T PACKAGE THE WHOLE THING!





You're missing hex8

huh, imagine that.
Well, glad you managed to pull it out of the aether.

It replaces the "fish boss" physics you get with the <UNI0001 command
that's not actually all you need to do, there are like 5 spots where Pixel sets the y-velocity to 0 when you hit a roof. You can delete them cuz I moved them all into the "bump ur noggin and make sparks appear" function. Coincindentally, they're all after calls to it. I only have binary for the function itself though.

A similar trick for hitting the ground would be useful so you're bouncy on all 4 sides but I wasn't motivated enough to fix that.
e: those hex bytes go @ 417160, but if I try to edit it in then all the formatting in the code blocks will shit itself

 

apparently I never posted the TSC physics modifying hack I made for Lowell, and since I doubt he's going to be around to complain I've updated the OP with that.

 

Mind the bump, this is just me being curious and looking into the HackInstaller folder, but I was trying out the <EQJ and the <VAC hacks, and the mod would crash when the hack would try to read address 0x475700. Was there a missing hex file for the hack in that address?

 

TscHack hex3_core_junk.txt has this snippet

No idea what it does but it's probably some function I forgot was used elsewhere

 

Noxid, Noxid, Noxid...

New download links for the last open source hacks that were available:
Autohacker 2
Doukutsu Assembler v0.4
Doukutsu Assembler v1.31

 

After years of Noxid being so incredibly active here and always updating links from other users that went inactive, it's so weird to see him end up going inactive and his links going dead...

Anyway, thanks for updating these download links.

 

So, I've been meaning to have this surface again, preferably with the full version of the <CIN hack included, but because I'm having technical difficulties getting it to work outside of my mod (because no really, why is it working in one executable, but not in another one?). So tl;dr, I have found the original zip folder containing the Doukutsu Assembler hacks that Noxid released back in 2012, before it was replaced with a download for the hacks used in their Modcon 2016 entry, H4CK3R.STORY. Thanks, @rixis19 for the archived stuff in your Dropbox.

The only part I omitted from the zip folder is the "TSC Modifications" folder, because the version of <CIN in there was incomplete, and I had to pretty much reverse engineer the rest of the code from KSS in order to mess around with it. I'll plug in a download for the hack later on, when I finally get it to work in a fresh executable...

Contents are what are listed in the OP.
