Yep...


I just don't know how. I think I read something similar in Saxman's hacking notes.

CRAP!

I've just noticed that changing the first row of any palette changes it for all the palettes! DAMN YOU SONIC 2 ENGINE!

That said, how do I:

a) change row 1 of the palette right after DEZ's title card disappears
b) change it back right before Silver Sonic explodes?

help would be appreciated

You'll need to tag a little bit onto the title card object to check whether the level is DEZ or not and do a quick branch to a little code you wrote yourself which writes something different to the CRAM ($400000 IIRC).

Something like...
CMPI.B #0E,[offset in RAM for level value]
BEQ.S CustomCode
[...]
CustomCode:
LEA $400000,A0
MOVE.L [palette change],(A0)
[repeat as appropriate until however much palette is changed]
RTS

Same deal as above, just change the label and what you load to the CRAM and tag it onto the Silver Sonic object right before its RTS command.

um... I don't do asm... I wanted a hex edit :P

still, good answer.

oh and... there's a title card object? So I could put one in the middle of a level? Weird...

ESE should be able to edit all the palettes. I may be wrong.

OMG! LOst didn't read!

Plain Sonic 2 doesn't change the palettes at those moments in time - so why should there be a palette for me to change?

There are certain object tags that are used to change the pallet. I believe one is used in WFZ. Try putting that object in DEZ.

If memory serves me correctly that object only affects a certain palette and in a certain way. For whatever change Bob needs he'll need to change the object to his own requirements.

Go to the archives forum. Look for the WFZ thread

[Fiz]

Yeah. There are two topics in the archieves about the WFZ Pallete change object. There is one by me, and one by BtCE.
