Wait, could the reverse be true? Then I could just have the level 3 missles be a separate gun.

 

it gets more complicated if every gun doesn't have the same # of levels

 

Yeah, I wanted to make every single level become it's own weapon. That way there could be upgrades to different guns, and I could still have 2 machine guns, because one I already turned into a debug gun. I do have a question though. Can I just extend the graphics and change what one is selected?

 

no
the profile can also only hold like, 6 weapons at a time so I don't think your idea would work out so hot.

 

No, I know that you can only hold 6 weapons at a time. What I meant was the graphics that are pulled to show what weapon is selected. Also, the menu that gives a discription of the weapon.

 

owait

lol remember when i knew how to asm

me neither

you can use Randolf's(or Hiino now) bullet changing notes to change the standard bullet for each weapon and level. machine gun will still rapid fire.

 

Tell me if this is supposed to happen or not, I'm a bit confused on this. So in a level I'm making, I have two separate rooms, and both have entities with #0320 as their event number. In the main room, the entities use flag 0721, and in the smaller room, the entities use flag 0702. Apparently, if I delete the entities in the smaller room, it also deletes the entities in the main room as well, despite that they use different flags. Is there anything that I'm doing wrong here?

EDIT: Never mind, I think I have the problem fixed now.

 

How is <CMP used? When I use it on a tile, the tile never becomes anything other than a tranparent 00.

 

It's <CMPXXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ.
Z is the tile while X and Y are the coordinates that that tile will be placed. The number of the tile you're placing can be found in the tileset editor by moving the mouse over the tile. When you do that it will tell you the number that tile is on the tileset you're using. In cave editor it will say index X where X is the number of the tile you're hovering the mouse over.
This is how you do the command in Cave Editor. Look at TLincoln's post below for how to do the command in Booster's Lab.

 

I think you have the two switched. WWWW:XXXX is the coordinates, YYYY is the tileset tile.

EDIT: I misread the previous post, ignore this one.

 

Actually XXXX YYYY are the coordinates and ZZZZ is the map tile. Mkae it in that order and it should work correctly.

 

Wow, I just realized that we were trying to correct what's been correct. I misread the first post as "XXXX is the tile type, YYYY:ZZZZ is the coordinates". I used WWWW:XXXX:YYYY because BL. Time to strikethrough my previous post, then.

 

Anyone have the assembly address for the firing speed of Lvl3 bubble gun?

 

41F2DA. Keep in mind that it will also affect the lvl 2 firing speed. The lvl 3 bubbles will pop faster because they were fired faster.
41F28D. This is the amount of bubbles it limits you to spawn in.

 

Thank you very much! That's what I was looking for!

 

I don't know if there was a breakthrough or something, but is there a hack that lets the Curly A.I. work outside of the labyrinth/custom maps? (I'm not sure if that was the problem but yeah I was always really wanting it to work)

the code that lets her target enemies is written on the enemy npc's themselves. we've asked this question a million times, but nobody has really gone into actually doing something with it

 

Incoming dumb question that's probably been asked and answered before
In Booster's Lab, how do you get entities to face a certain direction? (Ex: I have a chest against a left wall, but the chest faces left when I want it to face right.) Aside from using Cave Editor to change this, is it possible to make it entities face the other direction without the "spawn with alt direction" flag?

 

i'm pretty sure chests only have a left-facing sprite?
if an entity isn't set up to face a different direction then it can't be done
