That was harder to find than it should have been.

If it says six and two, but in the game it's three and one, is there a divisor somewhere then?

Edit 1:

Err, I just figured it out. The addresses you showed were actually for hearts! A few lines below, is:

00471C80    837A 44 06             CMP DWORD PTR DS:[EDX+44],6
00471C84    7E 09                     JLE SHORT 00471C8F
00471C86    C745 FC 03000000   MOV DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-4],3
00471C8D    EB 07                    JMP SHORT 00471C96
00471C8F    C745 FC 01000000   MOV DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-4],1

Changed the two values from 3 & 1 to 5 & 2, yet missiles don't seem to appear at all now. Thank you very much!

Edit 2:
Ah, it does work, but the sprites stop showing up. I think I can figure this part out on my own though.

Edit 3:
Got the sprites showing up properly! :}

 

Are you sure your cave editor isn't a bear?

@LunarSoul ^ this is a forum joke that i thought was pretty much dead at this point.

 

I'd be more worried if my cave editor was a

 

I'VE CONQUERED CAVE EDITOR!
Apparently only CE 0.99C works with NPC table. Not 0.99. Lawl.

!!!! I didn't know this! Does it make it so that the enemies don't make sounds?

 

Yes, it does. You can select the hurt and death sounds.

 

Does anyone happen to have a hacked npc (or maybe a pseudo projectile npc) that only dies/triggers script flag if the player collides with it?

 

Setting flag 0x0100 will cause an entity to run script on contact...

 

What do you need to set for the H/V trigger entity when the character is falling to his death?

 

Option 1, which is I think flag 0x100, the event number is 42.

 

Option 1, which is I think flag 0x100, the event number is 42.

And where do you need to place the entity?

 

Anywhere along a horizontal line. That will be the point in which you cross over as you're falling.

 

Does that also mean that if you cross it vertically the event will run?

 

No.

It will only act as a vertical trigger if you set flag 1000 (option 2/direction).

Also you do not need to set flag 100 for it to be a horizontal trigger. Flag 100, if I'm not mistaken, is the run script on contact flag (which entity 46 sets on its own).

 

From my experiences, it did need that. :[

Your experiences were wrong!

Just try it and you'll see.

 

Another question.
Is there a way to convert music files into ORG files?
Specifically for MIDI files.

Specifically for MIDI files.

You can do it by hand, which requires opening up the midi in a midi editor like Anvil Studio (Or you could try to do it by ear).

Otherwise no.

 

Or somebody could write a converter program

Also:

WOOHOO MY POSTCOUNT IS NOW A NUMBER WHOSE PRIME FACTORIZATION CONTAINS A LARGE AMOUNT OF 2S AND 5S! IN FACT, IT CONTAINS ONLY 2S AND 5S!! WOOOOOOOO!!!​

 

Or somebody could write a converter program

Aren't the file formats significantly different in the way they're organized?

Anyways if you think you can do it, go for it.
