Hey, I have two questions. First off, anybody recommend any palette editors?

I recommend HivePal, if you're using a split disassembly. You can find it at the Sonic_Hacking_Utilities page of the wiki.

Second, anybody have the link to the Sonic Compressed Art Archive? I've been looking for it for a week now, and I haven't found the page where all the art really is.

Is there a way to make SonMapEd load all of the HUD graphics instead of just "SCOR RINGS TIME"? It's difficult to modify the HUD mappings without all the graphics present.

The best way I've found is to take a VRAM dump from an emulator, and move all the data previous to where "SCOR RINGS TIME" is to the end, and load that instead. I don't know about SonMapEd with this, but it works nicely in LOst Library.

Ok so here's my problem. I'm trying to add some collision to this 256x256 chunk I've made:

Of course it doesn't work though but the odd thing is that it works some places



And here's what happens everywhere else:



How do I fix this? Also how do I get rid of the rotating palette (Also how to I port the Casino Night rotating palette from Sonic 2 to Sonic 1)

By the way, layout and stuff is temporary. I'm just testing how porting Casino Night over Spring Yard Zone will work out (I hate SYZ)

OH, I think I know the problem! Did you touch the animation scripts at all? If you changed the names of them or replaced them with the animations from another Sonic game, the labels will not be the same, and therefore the game cannot build without those labels defined.

I do not believe it, only I modified other elements separated from this one. Though I distrust much what I did, for what here I put my dissassembly:

Though I doubt much that has changed something, but the truth, I do not know it...

Ok, total retard question here. How do I compile my Sonic 1 Split Dissasembly? I'm using Hivebrain's 2005 dissasembly. I'm completely new to these things, so any help would be appreciated.

[Tweaker]

Double click "build.bat," assuming you've already split a ROM.

If you have, and it still gives you shit, create a blank file called "s1comb.asm" and try again. That should take care of it.

[LordOfSquad]

Excellent! Works like a charm. Many thanks!

Hey, I have another question which may seem "HEY ADMIN PLEASE BAN ME"ish (inside joke), but, ok, here it is.

When I try putting compressed art into my Sonic 1 hack, using TSDC, it won't work. Anyone have a guide?

To Joaki, as I said before, ESE ASM Edit, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't support Hive's external include program. You're going to either have to use the disassembly with an ordinary text editor and compile it with build.bat, or else convert the disassembly for use with ASM68k - this page covers how.

I'm guessing you are using a Split Disassembly, you could check out this guide, just so that you can check where you actually went wrong and how to fix it.

Basic Art Editing

I feel that this is a rather stupid question but I can't seem to find an answer to it.

Is there a way of manually dumping (not ripping) sprites, level tiles and backgrounds, so they can then be edited in another program? For example taking the GHZ bachground editing it in Illustrator then re-inserting it into the rom.

Damizean's Level Ripper may be of interest to you.
