aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnd it works now... -_-

I feel stupid.

I had a jge instead of a jle.

Anyways here's another issue I have.

cmp npc.scriptstate, 2
je :keep_going

push 0
push 3
call Random
add esp, 8
setpointer
cmp eax, 2
jne :keep_going
mov npc.direction, 2


:keep_going
mov npc.scriptstate, 2

I'm trying to get the game to randomly set the direction to "2" but it will never do it on it's own?

Post the definition of the setpointer macro. I am 99% sure the problem lies there.

 

it's mov ecx, [ebp+8]
I know this because I wrote it

 

He's right.

I even tried moving the location of the pointers settings and it still won't work.

cmp npc.scriptstate, 2
je :keep_going

push 0
push 3
call Random
add esp, 8
cmp eax, 1
jne :keep_going
setpointer
mov npc.direction, 2



:keep_going
setpointer
mov npc.scriptstate, 2

Like so.

 

are you not giving the arguments backwards

 

He is. Bigger first!

 

it's bigger first?

ok, tried it and it works.

thanks.

In cave editor, how do you get the <CNP command to change a nothing entity into a type 42 entity, Sue?

Here is my <CNP code:
<CNP0000:0042:0000

(All it does is turn EVERY, single entity on the map into Sue!

Please help!

 

It should be noted that the first parameter for the <CNP command is the event number of the entity, not the type of entity that you want to change it from. If zero is already the event number of your entity, then I suggest changing it to some other number and changing the first parameter of your <CNP command accordingly.

 

Oops, just being stupid at that moment.
I knew that.

 

Does anyone know what [4BBA28] and [4BBA30] are reserved for?


Apparently the Red crystal's code is based off of it in relation to movement.

 

how do you make it so you can change quote's jump height to be higher/lower and his movement speed faster/slower and be able to change it back to the original settings?

 

No, but I *sigh* could hack it into a TSC command as long as the numbers are stored in RAM.

another think to add to my list...

 

Where's the hex address for the font colour, so I can change it to black?

You can find that here.

I have a bunch of bookmarked threads I have found noteworthy, so that explains how I have all these links on me.

When I look at the offsets that thread offered, I was taken to the magical land of "ADD BYTE PTR DS:[EAX],AL", aka something didn't go right. As Nox said way earlier, "It looks like you're going to the actual RAM address which obviously doesn't have anything useful there."
(And no, there doesn't seem to be anything in the Hex dump for that address either.)

Did you add 400000 to the address? It's showing up perfectly on my end.

Okay, now I'm getting better results. (Thanks, btw)
But, it still doesnt show the 11002200 for either offsets (414358 and 4143EE) and instead say "ADC DWORD PTR DS:[EAX],EAX" and "ADD BYTE PTR DS:[EAX],AL" respectively
(but the last ones near some MOV DWORDS so its not in RAMland)

*rummages through old notes*

here:

4253AD

that should be it.

 

That works, thank you!
