;============================================== ;Day Seven (For Day 8's build). ;============================================== ;- Reprogrammed how characters are loaded ;- Majorly Reprogrammed how pallets are loaded ;- Reprogrammed how Character Mappings are loaded ;- Reprogrammed how Character Dynamic Pattern Load Cues are loaded ;- Majorly Reprogrammed how Character Animations are loaded. ;- Replaced Sonic2's sonic's art with actual Sonic 2 art ;- Replaced Sonic2's sonic's mappings with actual Sonic 2 mappings ;- Replaced Sonic2's sonic's DynPLCs with actual Sonic 2 DynPLCs ;- Created a new animation file for Sonic2's Sonic to load correctly ;- Edited Sonic2's mappings to fix bugs in sonic 1 (Skidding, and Balancing animations) ;- Edited Sonic2's animations to match new mappings. ;- Sonic2 now loads a snailbot instead of a motobug. ;- Sonic2 now loads a Sonic 2's monitor art instead of Sonic 1's. ;- Fixed Special Stage Results Screen ;- Added "Debug Mode" and "All Emeralds" cheats to character and level select. All emeralds might be useful at somepoint in the near future. =P ;- Updated Sonic2's character icon pallet on level select to match Sonic2's pallet. ;- Updated Rom Header ;- Fixed the Double Jump code. Double Jump can no-longer be abused. For best use, use it at the top of a jump. ;- Created a new mappings and art for eggman ;- Edited the code that loads eggmans art ;- Mighty now fights "EggRobo" ;- Fixed a bug causing time not to clear on starting a level. This also prevents an infinite death loop from getting a time over.
Well, a pointless watermark like that takes up 4 bytes. Might not seem much, but it adds up! Anyway, no point worrying about it, because if you release a simple copy/paste tutorial like you did (and a lot of other people do this), then it's going to be used everywhere. You'll be able to tell if it's your sega screen with or without a watermark. =P
I think you're underestimating how powerful the moves you've given Sonic really are: (EDIT: yeah, I probably should have mentioned SPOILER for an emerald location)
Apart from that, there's one thing that's bugging me: performing a jump move out of a spin doesn't disable the control lock, unlike the shield actions in Sonic 3. Ignoring that, well, I have to wonder where you find the time to do this so fast and so consistently. I eagerly await the finished product!

;============================================== ;Day Eight (For Day 9's build). ;============================================== ;- Added Spring Yard Zone! ;- Edited SYZ1's artwork and Pallet. ;- Emerald is now needed to pass SYZ1. ;- Edited SYZ1's Layout to suit above. ;- Made SYZ2 and SYZ3 load seperate artwork and mappings to SYZ1 ;- Edited SYZ2's artwork and Pallet. ;- Emerald is now needed to pass SYZ2. ;- Edited SYZ2's Layout to suit above. ;- Edited SYZ3's artwork and Pallet. ;- Emerald is now needed to pass SYZ3. ;- Edited SYZ3's Layout to suit above. ;- Extended music slots. ;- Since Mighty now fights eggrobo, added checks to all bosses for mighty, and made it play S3K Boss music. ;- When playing as sonic2, and fighting robotnik, Sonic 2's boss music plays. ;- Removed and Replaced SegaScreen (which was a pain ever since day 1 to replace with something custom, until figuring it out, then I facepalmed). Rom now uses no borrowed code! (Only from Sonic 2!) =P ;- Updated ROM Header.
I don't see why posting this in the Random Hack/Mini Project Thread instead of a new thread, since it is actually not a "Mini" Project. You are working on this for an entire month. =P
Anyway, really nice done. Shows that you can do cool stuff in just about a week. I especially like that RETROHACK Splash, though I need to ask: Did you do the art completely yourself?

Yay first view from me :P Anyways, I like where this is going! But what's the deal with the static monitors just restarting the level? That seems kinda weird to me. Maybe just give them a kind of restart graphic, like the reload symbol in many browsers?

How did you pull off the effects in the level select screen?
I'm guessing he had new art and made a different animation script or something, one that repeats once one full line of squares went off-screen or something?
That was a pain. I had to basically create a new Uncompressed Art file, and use the Sonic/Miles animation routine, with completely re-wrote mappings. Quite difficult knowing nothing about the type of mappings, but figured it out in the end.
