How can I change the size and position of the facepics?

 

How can I change the size and position of the facepics?

Assembly hacking.

AKA a lot of work if you do know assembly, kinda impossible if you don't.

 

not too much, I'd imagine.

Shhhhh, they don't need to know that D:

 

Now, I'm methodically butchering curly. Lessee what happens.

Well I've done some assembly but I couldn't find where the facepic stuff was.

 

0x424e28 is the TSC command for setting the face. Rest should be pretty straightforwards.

 

I've just started trying to mod with CE and SW and read the better part of Dragonboots TSC guide (newb basic part)...

Theres a few problems I've encounted while using CE and SW...

1. CE crashes when opening scripts, no idea whats happening there...

2. I keep on getting "saving errors" when I change ANYTHING on a map, this happens 9/10 times (yeah, I edited the first cave after a few tries then it never worked again...)

3. Where do I use TSC scripts? like, I understand there's HEAD and Arms ect. ect. but where do I add new ones/activate them?

4. SW doesn't load the map/tilesets at all, it displays their names but you can't do anything...
Also, I was able to open scripts and edit head ect, but I could save...again...

T_T

Sorry if these are common problems, I got no f-ing clue how to solve them tho xD

Thanks in Advance.

 

For one, the problem saving is because your data folder is locked.
And of course, don't use CE and SW on one game.

 

I think you're using the glitched version of CE.

 

Wow, thanks for the fast replys.

@TheCrown, I <3 You =D. Thanks!

 

On a scale of 1-difficult:

making a new variable (EDX?) and then making a counter to display it.

(for money!)

 

You know, I was having musings about doing something like this just for fun and putting it on free hacks since I'd have no use for it in my mod. I'd recommend appropriating flag bytes to store the value though. Also you'd probably need to know how the use the render function (which I do now). Overall, probably not overly difficult.

Eh... I don't assembly work. I really want to make a money system, it would replace missile pickups but see above reason why I can't

 

I replaced exp w/ money in mah mod. ie, you pick it up and a coyunter increases. Only visible via item screen though, as it's almost 100% TSC.

'S also reeeeeeeeealy easy to edit the HUD, and its so easily optimizable that you can fo sho fit the required code in.

you'd use a pointer tho, couldn't just use edx.

If you're not using the curly NPC (qwott follower) [4bba20], [4bba24] and [4bba2c] would all be freed up. [4bba28] might be free normally tho.

Wishin ye luck.

I'm using the quote follower, but I'd like to do the tsc style but replacing missiles. Eh PM me on how make?

 

I haven't checked out how missiles work yet thoooooooo
also, pm = dum, where the thing concerned aint no secret

PM=PUBLIC message, duh

oh and another thing.

Shootable blocks turn into the tile to the left of them in the tileset yes? Then would it be possible to put a sb next to another sb on the tileset, making for a two hit block?? Eh it works, right?

 

Yah I've done it.
I've got an umpteen hit block that looks like it's breaking when you shoot it, tually, so ya it tworks.

 

Is there any other way to edit scripts like head? CE crashes when I try to edit it...

EDIT:

Also, how do you make monsters appear (with their sprites), I tried spawning a zombie dragon and it ended up looking like a flashy blue mushroom shooting fire 0.o
Or better yet, a CE tutorial lol

Thanks in Advance.
