Random Hack/Mini Project Thread

You know that's a pretty cool idea... same with SonicVaan's idea... perhaps I may use them in the future... Of course you guys will be credited for the idea, if I use one of them.

 

Reached Spring Yard Act 1 at the Blocks.

Neat hack!

 

Not really a hack, but more of an IDEA for someone else to use...seeing as I have little skill when it comes to hacking...moreso NONE when you mention ASM! D:
Not that I take credit for it of course, only an idea so anyone is free to use / modify is all they like, but would be nice to hear what some of you guys think about it anyway~

For the rotating special stages (Thinking Sonic 1 here) maybe a switchable block could be implemented...when the player hits a "switch" it toggles other blocks, turning them from solid to clear, and vice versa. Given that the same switch could activate / deactivate different blockers at once, it could toggle one set off, and another set on, and if combined and used right, (but sparingly, or maybe for a reward as not to force the player to get annoyed because they cannot get the emerald) a simple puzzle element could be added!



Excuse these crap pics it's almost 3am and I'm tired...XD

 

I wondered if it wasn't going to be another bad "idea" post (hack idea topics/posts are discouraged here, understandably given some of the worse ones )--but that's actually not bad! I quite like hacks that add a bit of strategy (and to a sensible degree, difficulty) so anything that would increase the amount of puzzle solving necessary to complete a <a href="http://info.sonicretro.org/Special_Stage_(Sonic_the_Hedgehog_16-bit)" target="_blank">Sonic 1 special stage</a>* (thereby decreasing the emphasis on "Don't hit GOAL blocks") would be interesting.

* Shameless plug of my new version of that article

 

Well to be honest I didn't really know if ideas were allowed in the first place really, but thanks for mentioning it!
The idea itself manifested in only minutes after playing LBP and then straight into Sonic 1...so eh...:P

 

Oh yeah, I'm not trying to backseat-mod: What I really meant is that the rule is understandable, because some of the ideas I've seen have been quite bad! This one is good.

 

Oh hai guyz, I got bored again. And thankfully my internet is working now due to a transformer blowing up near my house and a power outage last night. :v: So anyway, I made a little mini hack again, Sonic Inverted Controls is what I call it. Basically the controls are inverted, like in FPS games. (Which is how I play them anyway because real gamers play with inverted controls. xP) But anyway here's the download link: Inverted Controls. This just proves that I have way too much time on my hands... :v:

 

May I ask why the controls aren't inverted while you are in air? =P

 

Oh shit I forgot to edit the code when Sonic's in the air. :v: I'll fix it in a jiffy if you'd like me to. Also I need to fix the first Special Stage layout, I was going to make a custom special stage and it ended up as shit. :\ Okay I fixed that, and changed the mappings back to their original state. God I usually have a good memory... okay here's the second build. <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/wnyhvuyhyyz/Sonic%20Inverted%20Controls%20(2).bin" target="_blank">Sonic Inverted Controls second build</a>. That's probably as much as I'll work on this, also the controls in the special stage have been inverted now.

 

I spent today making a fun little hack. You can shoot bullets in Sonic 2 to kill enemies and destroy monitors to get the contents. You can shoot in 5 directions, and while you're in the air. You can't harm bosses yet, but eventually this will be a much bigger hack. Until then I thought you guys might have some fun with it.

EDIT: Works on bosses now :3

Hey this is a pretty cool hack. ^^ Great job on this, it's really fun! Edit: Okay time for another mini hack. This time I hacked Sonic 2, and I added the ability I added to my Sonic 1 hack that I made up this morning. There's only one bug I know of, the camera scroll messes up a bit, but I probably won't work on this anymore. :\ Press B to dash, press B while Sonic is in Midair to jump. The spindash only works with the B button. Here's the download link: S2 New Ability.

 

I've been working on a bunch of stuff, just generally practicing ASM and getting the engine together for my big hack when I get started on it. This is one of those hacks, and while I know the Wall Jump's been done in hacks before, I wanted to share it here because it's just a fun move, and having it in Sonic 2 really put a bunch of playtime in it for me. Enjoy!

Boredom does great things to me.

 

link is b0rked

updated the link in the old post too.

 

Looks like this link doesn't work either. >.>
Could you upload it to another page this time, which also doesn't contain any waiting (because I seriously hate this), like Mediafire?

 

http://www.mediafire.com/?vic4qr23604j1qp here you go :3

 

Ah, that's a cool idea! =) Infact, I'm wondering how you did the collission check for the bullets to check if they touched a monitor or a badnik.

But well, can you also put this on Mediafire? It always says, no free download slots available.

 

I think you linked it wrong.

Ninja'd.

 

http://www.mediafire.com/?7f43czl841dx2f8 this is the Wall Jump hack. Gonna edit the previous posts too. :D
