Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

Assembly hacks. It's about a 4 on the difficulty scale, not an entry-level hack but just takes some modifications to the title screen function afaik.

 

When I program a Life Capsule, it reappears when I leave the area and return.
Here:

<PRI<SOU0022<DNP0400<CMU0016
<MSG<GIT1006Got a =Life Capsule=!<WAI0160<NOD<RMU<ML+0004
Max Health increased by 4!<NOD<END
(The entity ID for the capsule is 0400)

 

<FL+0400

 

Thanks. I forgive you for (sort of) insulting my mod.

 

I wasn't insulting your mod the most I did was insult your grammar
I was giving constructive feedback

 

Ok, I glanced over This thread and didn't see what I was looking for.

how (or really where) do I change the X/Y location of Quote on the title?

 

Ah, that would be here:

//	Render "New".																							
4100c5			push 0x00000000														//	Title.pbm							
4100c7			push &frame[-0x00f0]												//	144 000  192 016: New				
4100ce			push 0x00000080														//	Y: 128								
4100d3			push 0x00000088														//	X: 136								
4100d8			push &FullscreenRect												//	000 000  320 240					
4100dd			call 0040c3c0

				//	Render "Continue".																						
4100e5			push 0x00000000														//	Title.pbm							
4100e7			push &frame[-0x0010]												//	144 016  192 032: Continue			
4100eb			push 0x00000094														//	Y: 148								
4100f0			push 0x00000088														//	X: 136								
4100f5			push &FullscreenRect												//	000 000  320 240					
4100fa			call 0040c3c0

Changing the "new" and "continue" locations afaik will move the sprites as well. So if you want to move the sprites then change the third and fourth PUSH values for each part. Remember to put your values in hexadecimal.

 

Remember to put your values in hexadecimal.

As If I wouldn't.

Anyways, thanks.


Is it possible to change tile No. 65 (or 69, 7F, 6D, whatever.)

Into a tile that is submerged under water, but you walk behind it.
Or in other words, combine tile 60 and 40

 

I have noticed on some mods there is a full title screen in Title.pbm / Title.bmp
Does anyone know where I can put any script?

Um, that's what tile 60 already does...?????

I need help finding where the script IS.

 

There is no script so you'll probably have a hard time finding it.

 

Anyone have a list of addresses of each Boss's HP? (Balfrog, Dragon Sisters, Ballos, etc.)

 

They're hard coded values that are directly a part of the game's assembly, so there isn't an ingame table. You'd have to look up what it's initially assigned to in the ASM of the bosses' AI.

 

I think that's what he's asking for, GIR

 

Never mind, I'm finding them gradually.

While on the subject, where in ASM does it lock the player's direction when fighting ironhead? (I forget if I asked this here before or not)

 

That'd be somewhere in the code for <UNI, would it not?

 

<UNI will change the physics and point quote left/right depending on what direction he was last facing.

Though it doesn't have the option to do vertical directions. So ASM for doing something like that...

 

Well all I need it to do is not lock the direction.

What's the pointer for <UNI?
