Basic Questions & Answers thread

Um, thats not why I posted this here dark sonic =/, I really need some help!.
Edit: Never mind, I had to change the 3rd palette row, but its soughted now.

 

I knew that but I couldn't help with the palette problem so I just gave you my opinions in general =P

 

hey, riddle me this. how hard (if even possible) would it be to hack S3K or less preferably S2 to make the camera focus on tails in the Sonic & Tails mode? I know this sounds kinda weird but hey.

 

Anything s3k related varion is your guy. I'm sure if you ask him he may be able to help you.

 

Guys, I feel like such a tool for asking this because everybody else seems to have figured it out...

My new HUD misses the E on Score. Along with some of the score tally words. I can't for the life of me figure out where to find the data to edit it.

 

You might know, when you have debug, the E on SCORE gets replaced with all the values. Because Sega sucks, they were making the location of the numbers to the E. The file you are looking for is artunc\HUD.bin. Unlike artnem\hud.bin it's uncompressed for whatever reason. But anyway, there you will find the E you are want.

 

As always, thanks Selbi

 

Well I feel loved :P.

 

I screwed around with the crabmeat code a bit, so the balls are staying on the ground. However, if the Crabmeat shoots like 200, they slows down (of course, due too much RAM used). How can I check if the enemy was destroyed, and if so, how to delete it? I tried to set a flag in Obj1F_Delete and did a check in Obj1F_BallMove, but not working.

 

You'll need to tell your balls what object spawned them. This technique is used by several other objects, such as the buzzbomber, and usually they store the address of the object at offset $3C (longword) or $3E (word). That is, when the crabmeat spawns another object, it moves its own address in the scratch RAM of the spawned object. Then, your ball will check if an object exists at that location, I.e. check if the object ID is 0 or not (or equal to $1F or not).

 

Using the code of the buzz bomber, editing it and putting it in the Crabmeat code, I got it to work. Thanks again, FraGag.

 

How can one get a Sonic 3-like (collect the spheres) special stage into sonic 2? thanks

 

Yeah, an admin took care of that.

You will need to port the entire special stage, including all the data, over to Sonic 2. The only thing I can say is good luck. If you do have the ambition, the Sonic & Knuckles disassembly on the wiki's Disassemblies page well let you do an assembly-to-assembly port.

 

Questions.

1 Where do I find the SA2 GC voice files? I want the JP voices, if possible.

 

Dreamcast voice files are in...
EVENT_ADX.AFS = Japan
EVENT_ADX_E.AFS = English

I believe SA2B kept the same filenames for them.

 

AH found it.

It's all static. I'll try the DC one.

 

I'm too lazy to upload it but look for ahx2wav mod, it's the only thing that can rip the file.

 

Quick question: How does one change an object's priority flag so it shows up behind the high plane? Specifically, I want to make the Green Glass Block from Marble Zone in Sonic 1 disappear behind walls and lava. I can't seem to figure it out, despite what I've gathered from the SCHG.

 

Does anyone have a copy of jman's pcm decompressor? I need it for something.
