SonED v1 and v2

1. Here.
2. Umm... use the provided split/merge utilities?

 

Buzzer IS listed as 4B, in that guide..

 

Just while we're on the subject of Soned. It has been giving me the fucking shits, I want to know why does it always fuck up the Level select. My hack was fine before, and now its stuffed. ARRGHH I fucking hate it :angry:

What merge tool? where's that. It only has the splitter.

 

Just realized that SE2 doesn't come with the merge utility. Oops.

The whole thing is intended to be used with split disassemblies. Merging all that data back into the ROM manually would be a major chore, and there's no tool available that merges the data automatically. Just download the appropriate disassembly from Hacking CulT and you'll be set.

 

So, if I put the all the art I want into the assembly build. It'll be right to edit with Soned2, cause you have the shit in there allready to use? is that right.

 

what

 

Ahh, what I meant was, to get .bin files with all your art and other stuff in there, sprites etc. Well what's the easiest way other than, chucking them in manually. I'm trying to put some extra level art and sprites in my hack, and it's not going well.

 

INCBIN "c:\<path>"

To get SonEd2 to read this data, you just have to edit the project file.

 

Yeah umm, the only problem is, how are you supposed to put the edited data back into your ROM. I've been wondering, how other people have done it without a tool. Just thinking about doing that manually gives me a headache. Damn I wish there was a fucking merge tool.

 

INCBIN "C:\<path>"

or for Macro AS, use BINCLUDE instead of INCBIN. Same damn thing (except INCBIN doesn't support long filenames)

EDIT: Note that we're talking assemblers here. You have to use an assembler. This will require that you follow my advice outlined above and DOWNLOAD A FKN DISASSEMBLY.

 

Build.bat assuming you are using Nemesis' disassembly..

 

Ahem, yes I have used build.bat, but that's not what I was asking initially. It's being a fucking pain in the ass to run it though. I'm having a problem, where it gets upto a number of tags processed, which at first was 486, and then crashes. I managed to find what the cause of the first one was, but now it happens a bit later on, at 550 roughly. I think there's some problems I have with s2comb.txt, what do you think?

 

What files are you editing...? A clean split would be best.

 

Umm, I'm not editing anything yet. This is my asm build. It is a clean split, but I've added quite a bit of art and stuff, which is mainly just sprites and their mappings etc. I think it could be that I have far too many enteries in s2comb.txt. Or s2comb.exe has bugs. I guess I'll just have to drop everything I'm trying to include in it. And remove everything I've typed in. Then try putting one thing it at a time, and that way, I should avoid all the fucking problems it has been giving. If only it would compile without any trouble!

I compiled it once before, which was when I first used split, and had a clean asm file. I fired up Gens, and when I started EHZ, it fucked up with nothing but a BSOD. And I hadn't touched a thing.

 

USE THE AS DISSASEMLY.

 

Rika, that's not what the problem is, it's the combiner. Besides I find AS confusing to use, Snasm seems alot easier to use. Is there a compile.bat for AS by any chance.
