How do you use the player character's ANP?

Iirc a simple way to apply anp to the player is to put a NPC 0 at the player's location, <CNP it to NPC 0150(Quote) and use <HMC so that you won't have two versions of the player on the screen, don't forget to make sure the player is in the right position when using <SMC to bring back the player, and then remove/change the npc to npc 0.

 

Hey can I add more items than are present in the game? It looks like there's space for more tiles, so I figured there would be the ability to add more.

 

Yeah I know, but I want to be sure that I can, just in case.

 

You can't generate a flag list in CE.

I think that it'll work with <GIT but not work with giving the actual item <IT+.

 

I still need to know why <TUR keeps going after a <CLR.

It's made to work till another <MSG or and <END, and I would expect more people to use a <CLR after a <TUR to clean the message box and not stop <TUR than people who would like to use <CLR<TUR everytime.

 

What's the ANP for a teleporter? TP lights too.

Anp for telepoters is 0001.

Tp light are an npc, it's hard to see cause it's so small, right below the teleporter Npc.

 

Does anyone know what the sprites below the Nemesis bullet sprites are used for, if they are used?

 

Alright, what exatly do I do with the Org2.10 compatibility hack. Which one do I use, and what does it replace?

 

The square ones? I always thought they were either the Snake or that unused weapon.

Unused weapon?

Hmm, aren't they the Fireball's lvl2/3 sprites?

I thought so too; as it turns out, the Fireball uses the same sprites as the Snake…

 

NPC Create:
push init slot (0x200 entity slots, starts checking from # pushed.)
push Parent ; This is to push [ebp+8] in ASM to relate entities to one another, with +A8
push Direction
push yvel
push xvel
push y
push x
push num
call 46efd0

Can someone tell me what it means for push init slot, parent, and the num at the end?

parent is literally the parent entity
like fuzz cores for those little cuties
and num is npc's id
number
in other words which entity gets spawned
and i don't think i ever played around with the init slot so no comments on that
