So, I've been doing a bit of work here and there with Assembly, just sort of reading all the various threads and tidbits left behind by others. Sometimes, it was a little frustrating having to search all over the place to find any information unless you knew where it was already (Dooey's Index of useful threads was Awesome :D). So's anyway, I decided to collect all the stuff I could find for Assembly and put it into one word document which I could have stored on my own computer for easy referral. Of course, I'd like to share it too, so here it is:

View it like a page of internet: Here

What this contains:

~45 pages of Assembly offsets, tutorials, examples and general comments

A table of contents system by which you can ctrl-f a keyword to jump easily to your desired area of interest




If anyone has anything they think I missed, I'd be glad to add it and update the file.

~~~~Other Resources~~~~
An Excel file with listings of all entities with entity # and offset, as well as songs with Name and Resource Name. Also an empty sheet for SFX.

::Tile44 Direct Link::

My Modding Beginner's Guide. It's a 20+ page word doc written by me in a whimsical yet informative style, intended to teach the basics of modding and using CE to new modders. It's not 100% done yet but there's still alot of information there. I have it as a word doc because it's easy enough to find something that opens these and I don't want to be bothered adding all the line breaks to make it look nice in a text file.
::Wordpress Direct Link::
::Tile44 Direct Link::

A listing of every function in Cave Story and a short description of (basically) what they do. It's not complete either, but there's a lot of stuff in there as it is. Started by S. P. Gardebiter, and then I kind of took over.

~~~~Programs~~~~
A Java TSC Editor
It has some features that you can read about on its thread. I am pretty satisfied with how it works.

~~~~Videos~~~~
These videos are intended to be a sort of introduction to the basics of using Cave Editor and modding in general.

I love you *downloads*

It's only 39 Pages.


Also:
Make it PDF.
DOC makes me cry

[Uncy Dave]

Cool!
I think you can find a lot of this stuff around the Forums but this is much more convenient. This will prove to be quite useful, I think.

[Noxid]

Yes, it's all either from around the forums or on SP's web thingy, but with this you don't have to have multiple threads and stuff open, and you can search the entire document at once.

39 pages eh? Comes up 45 on Word 2000. Perhaps my fancy formatting got lost along the way.

see? in the bottom left?

Spoiler

But that is neither here nor there.

I would like to point out that those values I've labelled "ROM" and "RAM" are probably most definitely incorrectly annotated and categorized. I dunno what I'd call em though.

[VoidMage_Lowell]

I do believe this is sticky worthy, yes?
If anymore new members ask questions over Assembly, we can just send them here, now.
Cheers to Noxid for letting us be lazy

Could you remove these please? I don't really like having multiple copies of everything I made all over the place, because if the thing needs updating, only the versions I can change will be updated. I would actually prefer it if Noxid's original document linked to the relevant threads rather than copying the text directly, but a single copy floating around is acceptable.

If you want to edit these copies to link to the relevant threads, while leaving Noxid's copy with the full text, thats fine too.

[S. P. Gardebiter]

Please write my Name correctly. It's "S. P. Gardebiter", not "S.P. Gardebiter" :/

Edit: You mixed ROM and RAM offsets.

Is it alright if I put the links in alongside the full text, and then have them in a list at the bottom saying "For most up-to-date and complete info..."

EDIT: - cuz that's what I did...

Please write my Name correctly. It's "S. P. Gardebiter", not "S.P. Gardebiter" :/

Edit: You mixed ROM and RAM offsets.

Fixed your name, Wasn't sure about ROM and RAM but I think it should be straight now. If not, tell me and I can fix it again.

[dooey100]

Yeah that works.

[Lace]

wow, a whole bunch of stuff happened over the weekend.
can't believe I was gone...

I'll look over this presumably sometime within the next week, ie, when I have time. (also, next ten minutes, assume that I shall super edit)


anything that's ram starts with 4blablabla, anything that's rom, lacks it.*
so 0x4047b0 as opposed to 0x0047b0.**

eek, consistency, mister. consistency.
0x4047b0, 004047b0, and $04047b0 are all different ways of writing the same thing, and it would be easiest if you used the same one consistently, although witha a 40 page document, this might be hard.

I think there are four more registers.

ah, shoot, I can tell which of those notes are mine, shinings, runes and dooeys.
the shame, the shame.

I need more of a life, but at least I can't tell which are other peoples. (ie, gir, cookie, sshigsi, etc)
lace out now.

*or the other way around, I forget.
**note that this does not mean that offsets you have with 4blablabla are all ram offsets, some are mistakenly lahbehlayd
