@Bionicobot:
I'm pretty sure you have to call each entity animation separately, for horizontal blocks I think use this
<ANP0149:0011:0000 to get them moving left and
<ANP0149:0021:0002 to move them right.

 

Uhhhhhhh anyone have the offsets for how many bullets the snake allows onscreen? mainly just levels 2&3 though
Cause I looked around and yeah nope

 

@Glag

0x1DC15
all levels

 

Thanks!

 

to change the tile types open up one of the tile sets in CE and right click one of the tiles and it will let you change the tile type. if you want to change what the tile looks like then just edit the BMP of the tile set you want to edit.

Where can I find the bmp files of the tileset ?

 

in the data folder

 

Hey Hina do you have the offsets for the bubbler?

It wasn't included with the other weapons.

It wasn't included with the other weapons.

Bullets:
0x405F30 - Bubbler level 1
0x406190 - Bubbler level 2
0x4064D0 - Bubbler level 3
0x4068B0 - Bubbler level 4 (Popped level 3 bubbles)

0x409190 & 0x4095C0 - Something related to Bubbler?
Bubbler Gun
0x41EFD0 - Bubbler level 1
0x41F280 - Bubbler level 2 & 3

if you wanted the general ASM offsets, Thomas already posted them
unless you wanted the maximum number of bullets allowed on screen
0x1EFDF - Bubbler level 1
0x1F28F - Bubbler level 2
0x1F28F - Bubbler level 3

 

i forget how you remove the studio pixel logo on the title screen and the version number and all that stuff

 

Use resource hacker? Lol

 

well that is how you do it though so, make sure you save it or something

There's an option to remove those on the title screen hacker in BL.

So, you can't move them all at once by giving them the same event number?

giving multiple entities the same event number and using <ANP on that number will do it to all of them, yeah

This varies for different entities. For some, you can, and for some, you can't. Feel free to experiment with the function.
EDIT: How do I make more space for assembly in the exe? I noticed that if you embedded a bigger .org or bitmap file in the game it would make the .exe bigger. Would it be possible to extend the exe by, for example, adding a whole bunch of random notes after the repeat in a music file to add in extra assembly space, then using that space to code something else?

Thanks!


When I try to delete Ballos this happens:

Spoiler

View media item 1747

EDIT: Also, the <FLA command doesn't work until all the commands on that event have finished running. Any help?

EDIT: I think I fixed the <FLA problem. I used <PRI and not <KEY

EDIT: I still can't fix Ballos.

I know it's been a long time, and I think I really shouldn't reply to this, but just in case anyone else encounters this problem, use a <DNA0341 after deleting Ballos. The Ballos entity was never meant to be deleted.

Yep, only works with one at a time. Time to make a wall of blocks with different event ids... Ugh...

Edit: Is there any way I can make them phase through walls and do damage on contact? Like, what offsets would I be looking at.

Ummm... You COULD do that in assembly, but probably it'll be easier to edit npc.tbl...

I used EDI, just cause I could!
If you want a different amount of damage other than 10, change 0A in the 3rd patch to the preferred amount in hex.

This does 10 damage BTW, and the blocks will go through walls & do damage ONLY if their FlagID is not 0.

Thanks, I wasn't able to make it do any damage through the npc.tbl, so I figured that it could only really work through assembly.

Edit: Are you sure it was the horizontal blocks? Because they at the same for me.

 

So i'm having a problem with the lift NPC, for some reason, it's like, off-centered.



I was coding it a little, but I don't know how that affected it. I also tried fixing it in the npc.tbl but that didn't really work...

Yes I know the animation part is extremely inefficient, I just wanted it to work ok?!?
