THANK YOU!!! your a life saver!

 

So, can no one help me with my crash, then?

 

It would appear not, Portal.

Anyway.
I have an issue.
Specifically, I deleted the "MENU" folder in the executable while editing it with Resource Hacker.
It worked to remove the buttons at the top of the screen, but...

Spoiler

It would appear that there's still a gray bar at the top.
Can anyone be of assistance?

EDIT: Also, are there any guides on how to remove stuff from the executable? Like, maybe even a list of what items and enemies go with which line of code in the exe? (while editing it with OllyDbg, obviously)

I've been trying to find a solution to this for forever

 

I think you might have to dive into Olly to find what you're looking for. Good luck to you.

 

If an area's background has already been broken by cave editor, can boosters lab fix it?
The only reason I use cave editor at all is because boosters lab is really slow on my computer. Anything with java is, unfortunately.

 

Yes. But, you need to open the mapdata of the affected map, change some small detail (you can change it back after), and then close the map. After doing this for your maps and then saving the exe, it should work fine.

That worked, thanks.

 

How would I get rid of exp without the hearts and ammo being unobtainable?

 

Go into assembly and remove the call to create the exp crystal when an enemy is killed. There might be multiple instances of that call, so you'll want to remove those too.

 

I'll do that as soon as I find them. Thanks!

 

How do Rollings work? Like, how do they figure out what sort of rectangle-shape thing to roll in?

 

they go until they hit a wall

 

Well, I figured, but I mean for instance, take the Rollings in Hell B3, the ones right near the beginning (and actually the only ones in the game other than the ones in the Heavy Press fight, iirc). They roll in a rectangle, iirc, but there is empty space where they just roll over, instead of hugging the wall and rolling over the entire surface area.

 

yeah
they go until they hit a wall
then they turn

 

Oh
Um
Okay

I still don't really get it but I'll figure it out

 

I literally cannot describe this any more explicitly

 

No it's fine
Don't obligate/exasperate yourself
I'll figure it out

 

Rolling essentially move in a direction until they collide with a wall, at which point they turn (either left or right, depending on whether "Option 2" is set?).
This continues until they are somehow destroyed (be it by TSC or bullets, if people decided to make Rolling non-invulnerable).

Anyway, does entity 358 (Misery - wind) have any other ANP states than 0010?
0010 lets her turn to look at the screen.
Does anyone know how to have her turn back to her default state with the animations?
