Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

Is it possible to manipulate the hitpoints structure so that life upgrades give you another bar of health, like in "Metroid"?

Yeah, but it'd require both a bit of assembly and a bit of ingenuitiy.

Seems like a cool idea .

 

I need some help.

Right in my mod sonic story (play it )
i use the scene where kazuma flys off with quote
i know theres a problem with ending scenes... After the scene i make some text say "your not getting away that easily" and make you go to the Throne Room. But theres no character just my health bar and hes not off screen hes just gone...

Heres the script

Worked perfect!
Thanks a lot

 

Can anyone hack this so the booster (v2.0) never runs out? And so its super super fast?

Just that in my sonic mod he turns super sonic and this is the best i can do...

I got supersonic Sprite as mimigma mask
Whismical star

just need this

heres the EXE

http://www.mediafire.com/file/mgzedcghvn5/Sonic.zip

 

Thanks a lot lace

youll be in the credits for the speed hack and this

I really appreciate it

 

1:Would I be able to make it so that Quote's weapon is on top of him instead of behind him when he looks right, and behind him when he looks left?

2:I want to make the sounds that the bubbler makes when fired change to the "fireball fired" sound.

How exactly would I do these?

I hack stuff cuz it'll help people and because it's fun. so you don't have to put me in the credits.

I really appreciate it

thanks
as for the actual hack, here's the scoop -- infinite booster is a snap, but when I started changing the speed values I somehow managed to crash my computer. I think being able to fly is benefit enough though.
mebbe? (if so, here is la exe)

how much do you know about assembly?

 

Thanks a lot Lace

Worked Perfect

Now i can carry on my mod

Ive workked soo hard on it today ive completed 60% of it
Sinse 6am till 11pm now

And now ive got tis im carrying on

 

how much do you know about assembly?

I know next to nothing, and assembly confuses me to no end.
But, I figure that the best way I can learn is through example.
I'm not planning on making anything major, like new weapons, so I don't think I need extensive knowledge.

 

sounds good, I'll answer

I want to make the sounds that the bubbler makes when fired change to the "fireball fired" sound.

first, because it'll be a lot easier to understand. and the weapon one's gonna be a doozy. so... (I'm assuming you have ollydebug or the likes)

the sound setter is going to be of the following format:

  push 1
push xx
call 0x420640

which pushes xx as a variable, the according sfx will then be played by the funcyion at 0x420640. ya dig?

so, to change the bubbler fire sound to this, we go to the bubbler code and look for a snippit like that.

there are a few like this, and by trial and error, we can find a few offsets:

  406526 - lvl 3 'pop' noise

AND I'll edit in the morning w/ more. do you see where this is going though?
nighty night, and have fun.

 

Lace ermm...

I know you said you didnt make him faster but could you?
sorry just that it doesnt look right
When hes supersonic he needs to be fast and theres certain levels where he needs to be going very fast.

If it keeps crashing your pc then leave it.
Sorry to just dump it on you

Ive got school now
So ill see you later.

If theres possibly ANYTHING i can do in return just tell me and ill see what i can do

Thaaaaaaaank Youuuuu!!!! (God I Love You Lace )

It should be pretty easy to make him go super fast, give me a link to the .exe and I'll see what I can do .

 

its one page back where i told lace to use it. Cant give you the link cus im on mobile on way home from school

 

@ girage: linky is here.
what I got messed up on was that the terminal velocity for booster appears to be in the same check as that for normal speeds, so when I raised it, gravity was pushing me through walls after a long fall, and you could run ridiculously faster.
which is where my computer crashed.
for infinit boostah, what i did was remove the fuel destroyer.
have fun making speed work, it's a presumably ridiculously obvious solution that'll make me cry.

continuing off of this:

  406526 - lvl 3 'pop' noise

AND I'll edit in the morning w/ more. do you see where this is going though?

I'm going to have to introduce you to a new function since I couldn't find the sound player for the bubble launcher. This one's used to set the values of the sounds, it's of the following format:

  push zz
push yy
push offset xx
call 004207E0
add esp,0C

zz = assigned num
yy = number of channels
xx = offset of sound

there are a whole bunch of these in the loading code, so we just find the one that has zz as 30 (bubbler sound) change yy to 2, and change the offset to that of the fireball code, namely 0x48FB00.
and we just write

  push 30
push 2
push offset 0x48fb00
call 0x4207e0

at offset 4119ae and we're done.

pretty simple, amirite?

 

Well, that makes sense, but it only overlayed the polar star sound on top of the bubbler sound.

Maybe I did something wrong....?

 

SonicH2

Here's the hacked exe, i think i made sonic run a bit faster, but he does fly faster than he runs. Also for your convieniece I took the liberty of speeding up the blade (lvl1 and 2) so that it goes faster than him.

And it doesn't make the noise or the graphic when he flies either.

 

Sorry just got round to using it

Ill tell you what i think

Thanks A Lot
