Ok, I added new art to my hack, loaded the game, SEGA screen comes up, sonic team presents, then a pink, then blue screen, game frozen. Anybody know why this happens and how to fix it?
Right, this is really puzzling me. I'm trying to get a code, so that at the end of Act 3, it wouldn't play the regular 8E music. Instead it would play E9. This is my code: Code (ASM): cmpi.b #$2,($FFFFFE11).w ; is the current act act 3? beq.s EndOfZone_Music move.w #$8E,d0 jsr (PlaySound_Special).l ; play end-of-level music lea ($FFFFD000).w,a1 moveq #0,d0 move.w #$7FF,d1 EndOfZone_Music: move.w #$E9,d0 ; Set to musicE9 jsr (PlaySound_Special).l ; play end-of-zone music lea ($FFFFD000).w,a1 moveq #0,d0 move.w #$7FF,d1 Sadly this isn't working. Any ideas?
First of all you've put your code in the wrong place (inside the Special Stage end routine), and secondly the code is wrong. All you need to do is go to loc_ECD0 and change Code (ASM): move.w #$8E,d0 jsr (PlaySound_Special).l ; play "Sonic got through" music to Code (ASM): move.w #$8E,d0 cmp.b #2,($FFFFFE11).w ; is this act 3? bne.s @playmusic ; if not, branch move.w #$E9,d0 @playmusic: jsr (PlaySound_Special).l ; play "Sonic got through" music
Sorry to take so long to reply, but what are the references, where would I find them, and what would I change them to?
There's one in the Pattern Load Cues file. Both GHZ, and the ending use the two files. You'll also need to find the include for the graphics and add the merged file.
Well, I'm trying to get a monitor to half the amount of rings you have (as Tweaker suggested XD), but I'm having a problem with the coding. I am aware that I need to bit shift right, but for some reason, the code I've used freezes the game upon hitting the monitor. Code: Code (Text): lsr.w $FFFFFE20
Looks like you didn't address RAM correctly, so it's trying to modify ROM space. You want to try something like the following: Code (ASM): lsr.w #1,($FFFFFE20).w ; divide number of rings in half ...which should take care of it. Don't forget to update the ring counter after you modify the ring total.
Oh hell... forgot you couldn't shift a RAM address. Okay, just change it to this: Code (ASM): moveq #0,d0 ; clear d0 (for posterity) move.w ($FFFFFE20).w,d0 ; move current number of rings to d0 lsr.w #1,d0 ; divide number of rings in half move.w d0,($FFFFFE20).w ; apply new ring amount Then it should work.
Is there any way of adding new palettes to Sonic 1? I did this: First I added new lines in _inc\Pallet pointers.asm , so now the last 6 lines look like this: Code (Text): dc.l Pal_Ending dc.w $FB00 dc.w $1F dc.l Pal_NEW dc.w $FB00 dc.w 7 Then I went to sonic1.asm, and I added a new line in the "Pallet data" section Code (Text): Pal_Ending: incbin pallet\ending.bin; ending sequence pallets Pal_NEW: incbin pallet\new_pallet.bin And then, when I want to load this pallet instead of the Sonic's one (its a new character's pallet) I change "moveq #3,d0" (Sonic's pallet) for "moveq #14,d0" (New pallet. It's number 14h on the pallet's list) But when using the new character, It's black. The pallet didn't load. Is there any other change to do? Maybe there's a line somewhere that says the number of existing pallets, so the game doesn't try to load any pallet greater than #13 I tried changing the "Level select" pallet for my new pallet and using it when needed and it works perfectly. Thanks.
Or art_tile - adding $2000 to the art_tile value makes it use the next palette line, I.e. $0474 would use palette line 0, $2474 would use palette line 1, $4474 would use palette line 2, and $6474 would use palette line 3.
I was wondering how I could go about extending the amount of monitor boxes that can be used. If I place a monitor with a property of 28 0A 08, the monitor will load, but it's art will not, also, after it's destroyed, Sonic seems to moonwalk backwards. EDIT: THAT was an error in the coding.
Is there any way to make a level load a different life icon than the usual? I guess this could probably extend to other art loading as well.
Yeah, set up checks for the levels, and depending on what level it is, branch to load a different life icon, that should work.
