• Most people probably don't realise this, but this forum has had two editors for a number of years. One is the xenForo default editor, and the other is a custom editor I made years back I called BBCEd.

    All the settings for which editor you use was lost during the upgrade. You can find the setting under Account Settings > Preferences > Editor.

    Uh... "Booster's Lab: Still Too Lazy to Actually Read NPC Framerects" is kind of horribly wrong
    The NPC sprite framerects (that is, the positions on the spritesheets - the things Booster's Lab needs) are in the code of said NPCs. npc.tbl just defines hitboxes & display offset.
    Now consider ASM hacks... and things go horribly wrong :(

    My experience is with GB z80, but the same principle still applies.
    Say for instance you have CD CD 41 00 as byte code. CD is interpreted as the "CALL" instruction, which has a two-byte argument for a total of 3 bytes.

    If we execute from the first byte we have:
    CALL $41cd
    NOP

    However if we execute from the second byte we have:
    CALL $0041

    The two couldn't be more different, and without the context of the other instructions either possibility is valid. So you would have to traverse all executable bytecode for each NPC. It is impossible to just parse just one instruction without a wealth of false positives. Not to mention you can't even know where all the code is located without parsing jumps, plus, as Enlightened said, there is no guarantee that the instruction in question is setting framerects.

    If you want accurate detection of framerects then you need a virtual machine. Have I said before how absurd a notion that is? Because it is.

    Now put that in context with what I posted:
    "You have no way of any program knowing the difference between an instruction opcode and an operand argument without parsing a shittonne of asm code to get to that point"

    Sorry, I missed your post before. You do have a point. The reason why it pisses me off is that it's possible, if done well would be totally awesome, and nobody's tried it.

    More importantly, why are you bumping my oldest thread to ask a question completely irrelevant to the original topic?

    I also tried to ban you, but Dunc did so first before you could read why. Other people aren’t your tools, nor is the server. I complimented you once on your efforts to be positive, but you clearly gave up on that. You don’t seem to change and you detract from the group being a pleasant place to be. So that’s that, in my book.

    I was playing Rise of Ballos the other day, and somebody talked to me, mentioning that they recognized Quote from their cameo in Gang Garrison. They hadn't really heard of or played the game before. According to him Quote's weapon in the game is the Blade lvl3.

    Open-source really was the way to go.

    I'm only tackling minor stuff at the moment but its great to have it there for ourselves to fork and compile.

    Great way for people to get off your ass and buckle-down themselves.

    Is sub 2 actually possible?

    If you check MasterLuigi's WR video, he was 2 seconds off 2 minutes. From what i could recall he could have used Super Missiles to hit Ballos quicker during phase 4, which he didn't do. I don't think i wanna do Hell again, since i got the Unstoppable achievement today...

    And the TAS was 2 seconds off the WR.

    Yeah, that. The phrase "For fun, stuff is done" is trademarked by Gamemanj Industries(TM).

    I'll let you make the calculations to translate that back to your local currency.

    ? I haven't been on since Monday iirc. Keep me up to date on what's happening there though. My internet became crap and now like half the websites don't work because apparently all of them are trying to hack me. These include Discord, Reddit, iCloud (tf?), Tumblr, Steam, and many, many more.

    Hopefully it's fixed soon, because now all I can do is work on Bad Mod

    Well, it's a good time for you to get some work done on it.
