Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

wait thats a command? like a vanilla command? WHAT?!

Nono, it's a custom TSC command made by Lace, and Zarro just plugged it in his mod. You can easily install it through either the optimized <END hack, or through TSC+. Welcome to the wonderful world of assembly.

 

yeah, that makes a lot more sense, silly me.

 

oh, do you mean for the records? like for the hell run? if you want to edit them boosters lab has the hackinator which, in the hacks for the title screen, has the records and it tells you the value for a minute, the rest is simple math.

Thank you for explaining how to do so. I have it working now. Thanks again!

 

Mmh, I closed Booster's Lab and reopened it and now it won't let me open the maps in the editor. What's going on?
Now, it might be related to the fact that I recently updated Java, but I'm not sure.
Has anything like this ever happened to any of you?
Never mind, it opened the map after like 10 minutes on its own for some reason. Still, that is a little odd.

 

So regarding Balrog's sprites, I need help in sorting out which sprites he uses during the second (Hover) and third (Missile) battles with him. I intend to use the Hover and Missile for the second phase of the Diamond Dog battle.

The sprites that are highlighted are the ones in use.

Balrog 2 (Hover):

Balrog 3 (Missile):

Thank you for your help, Serri. I'll also be keeping copies of these images for future reference.

 

I have a quick question: can I make entity sprite sets as big as I please or that just isn't possible in normal conditions?

Yes, but only through NpcSym or any of the bitmaps in the data folder (barring Face.bmp), and you'll need ASM to assign framerects to the much larger sheet.

 

Thank you.^^

 

how would I go about making a different sprite for falling instead of jumping?

Without ASM (or C, if you're using CSE2), you can't. In fact, the jumping sprites are the same as the walking sprites, lol.

 

Is there a way to have Booster's Lab check my syntax and tell me if there are any errors in the script?

 

Not currently, but if you don't wanna go through the hassle of going back and forth between Booster's Lab and Cave Editor, there is a standalone TSC editor based on the one used on CE. Do keep in mind however, if you're using custom TSC commands, they'll been seen as errors regardless if they're typed in correctly, due to them not being recognized in the syntax.

I do suggest yelling at asking @Leo40Story if you'd like the syntax checks to be implemented into Booster's Lab, though.

I'll try that out, however experience taught me that I shouldn't trust Cave Editor, so I'm going to sneakily copy the mod folder.

It only opens the tsc files.

I noticed, that's why I made a copy of the entire folder.

Cave Editor is only known to give the executable some issues. Everything in the data folder is fine, however.

Ah, OK. Thank you for the replies, Serri.
