Potential TSC Hacks

Eh...

You mean something like a tsc command that does something like this xxxx:yyyy swap tile set x with srpite y. In the npc.tbl there are numbers for each different sprite set. By the way, did I say Tileset before cause I meant Sprite set.

I think you said Sprite sheet, but you still lost me...
And even though the original sprite sheets have numbers, what about new ones that we've added in? {I have three separate NPCCurly ones, for example...}

 

Well that command wouldn't work with local ones cause when you make a new tile set it doesn't get assigned a number, other wise all the spritesets may as well be universal and it would be a huge pain to edit every single npc to go on a specific sprite sheet. There are numbers that mean things like, Local sprite sheet 1 or 2 (the ones that are assigned to a map) or tile set.

 

As my own attempt to garner ideas for new TSC commands a while back flopped and/or vanished the moment everyone realized that I only wanted to add them to Agora's Legends, would anyone mind terribly if I added some of these instead?

My intentions for Agora's Legends were always centered around modding, you see, and I would like to support as many existing Cave Story mods with as little transition effort as possible. (Just take your data folder, custom music, and plop 'em in the Mods folder of Agora's Legends with a configuration file for things like starting health, map, and position and that's all there is to it, essentially.)

 

@ Echidna-san You'd have to ask the creators of the (ideas for the) commands, but I don't think they'd mind. I don't care if you use mine.

@ all
guh. sorry I haven't made much progress, I have a lot of work to do. However, I am still working on them, and you might see mim by august.

lol

 

WHAT?

WHAT? AUGUST?
..Damn...

Well, could you get the one TSC hack that would be able to alter movement speed done, by itself, quicker?
I was thinking of using that in the next part of my mod =D

 

that was a joke.
(and I'm having a lot of trouble with mul)

 

Sorry if this has already been suggested, but time jump. Jump to event X, after Y ticks. But the ticks only occur while events arn't running.

 

I think what he means is that the timer will keep running underneath other events and if another event is running when the timer times out, then the other event will be cut off and the new one jumped to. Did I get that right, Serious?

Another way do to that would be to hack an NPC to destroy itself after a certain amount of time, then have it trigger an event on its death.

 

Heheh

Oh hey, I remember Runelancer talking about an entity that would "Kill" itself after 100 ticks or something.
He never found out it's purpose, or even if it triggered anything else....
We could just hack that one, yeah?

 

I'm not sure that would work because the "trigger on death" thing is kinda tricky since there are lots of NPCs that it doesn't work on. It's worth a shot though, I guess.

 

If you were still wondering about how MUL works, check here. It looks like a fairly good explanation.

Also, you probably know this already, but there are at least three different multiplication commands, depending on whether you're working with signed integers, unsigned integers, or floating-point numbers.

 

thanky.
however, I'm a bit confused on the floating point division, which is defined as:

fdiv    st(0), st(i)

does anyone know if st(0) and st(i) are placeholders for registers, or if they actually do something?

 

How about setting the background via a TSC command? Could allow for some interesting things like day and night.

 

Heheh...

Or epic boss fights...
Heheheh.....
