Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

How would I make the walking Shovel Brigade npc change it's sprites based on it's flag id, like in the <MIM command?

 

re-code the npc because it's the path of least resistance.

 

How can I have a background fill the entire screen, no tileing? I assume if I make it the same resolution as what the game runs at, it will, but I don't know the resolution.

 

make the size 320X240

 

How fast in Ctone are the text blips?

why not just load them and find out

 

How would I go about adding a background to the Title Screen?

 

titlescreen in the bl hackinator lets you change the rects for a fullscreen title background
alternatively, if you use the TIMG hack a fullscreen title is a side-effect but you have a bit less options with it.

 

yeah but how would i go about editing the actual background, to say the outer wall
I'm really a beginner with this stuff I have no idea

 

uh
edit title.bmp

 

title.bmp doesn't contain any kind of background tho, or am i missing something

when you use the hack the entirety of title.bmp becomes the background
change title.bmp to 320x240 and make a background

 

ah i see. thanks, i got a bit confused

 

Hey guys, I want to pre-emptively apologize, as I'm sure this has been asked before at one time or another.

Does anyone happen to know the Assembly offset for the Booster 0.8 item?
I searched through the assembly compendium to no avail.
Perhaps it's in there, it's just very... dense with information, and I was hoping someone knew offhand.

The item, the equip, or the controls?

 

I tried to add gravity to the NPC to discard pass falls to the ground

offset NPC076

push ebp
mov ebp, esp
setpointer

add npc.Y, 5FF
mov npc.framenum, 0
cmp npc.directive, 1
jmp :render

:render
setpointer
mov edx, npc.framenum
mov npc.displayL, 0
mov npc.displayR, 10
mov npc.displayU, 20
mov npc.displayD, 40
mov esp, ebp
pop ebp
retn

mov esp, ebp
pop ebp
retn


This is the code. What's the problem ??

Er, what do you want to do with the npc.directive

 

@modmake This isn't the correct way to implement gravity, this object just moves downwards at a constant speed. A gravity algorithm looks more like this:

yVel += 40;
if(yVel > 0x5ff){
yVel = 0x5ff;
}

 

The item, the equip, or the controls?

Sorry, should've specified.

The physics in particular, or rather how it effects your x and y velocity when being used.
