Hello everybody, I would like to know if anyone out there has this Cv 3 hack...



I really hope that someone has this hack hosted somewhere, I would love to play this. What is the name of this hack? Thank you for taking the time to read this thread.

Ahh yes, that would be my hack. I first released a version of it with level one complete on haloween 2003? I lost motivation to finish it because 1)the editor was buggy and 2)I ran out of ideas and was overwhelmed. I played with a lot of names for this hack. The original name was Castlevania: Destination Apocalypse but I let redrum talk me out of that one for sounded lame, sci fi, and "not castlevania" enough.

I actually finished the second level but then I had to reformat and lost everything (or so I thought). That killed the project for me more than anything. I tried to pick it up again with a level 3 but.... *shrugs* that never worked out.

If I can get some of the bugs out I may just go and release it as is for the time being. I would love to finish it but I found working with the Castlevania 1 engine simpler. Cv3 had too many annoying little 'safeguards' or little items of convenience and space saving to make it anything less than a pain in the ass.

If you would like to see a hack I had a large hand in completing, look up Castlevania Bloodmoon.

Edit: Actually... you could have found out about me by looking at the url that pic is on. I have geocities space, and it seems that that pic was still from when I used it. My old alias is MavrikNyne (though I typoed that when I made my geocities account like a fucking jack ass). I think google still remembers some things about that name.

Thanks for the information Bit-Blade, I really appreciate it. Actually, I found that pic through here. I typed in TEKHacks in the time machine. I did look at your'e old site but it does not show anything. Thanks again for the help.

Bit-Blade, please be a sweetie & release a demo. I can't belive that a CV3 hack even exsisted. It really looks awsome.

Yeah, I remember playing this in 2003 when I first started ROM hacking. It really lived up to the hype back then.

Well... give me some time. I'm extremely busy with another project at the moment.

Also, I want to finish this hack someday but with the current glitchy casltevania 3 editor reVamp this is inadviseable. I also ran out of creative juice.

I've got 2 levels completely done, and one level incomplete.

....


And I just remembered why I REALLY stopped. reVamp corrupted my rom and gave it a nasty sprite error. For all intents and purposes this renders my hack unplayable until I can recreate the levels and shit. For now you're going to have to wait until a new castlevania 3 editor is released *looks at Dan hopefully*.

If you want, I could try and fix the sprite problem for you. It's probably just a matter of copying fresh data from an unaltered ROM over the corrupted sections.

At 2A217, very probably.

Bit-Blade has not sent me the corrupted ROM, but I vaguely remember his problem (read about it here, I think). The problem seemed to stem from there. 2A217-2A21B should be "00 00 00 00 00". It's 2A13E if you're working with the Japanese ROM. You might want to check that, Bit-Blade, to fix your sprites.

I'm sorry that you now find reVamp unusable. I have had virtually no feedback, so it's hard to fix bugs. I've had no trouble with it, but it's been a while since I used it. It can't be as straightforward as Stake, because Dan is a better programmer, and CV3 uses a lot of compression that makes the editing a pain.

Well, I tried.

Edit : Also the pointer to said address may be the problem (first pointer, 2A04F). But unlikely, unless there's a major bug causing "random" corruption.

Kind of hard to contact you when the email you supplied doesn't work, eh? I tried. This is the first I've seen of you in a very long time.

As to your offsets... they don't do much. This sprite error is still there. Meh.

Whoa dude, what's with the animosity? Keep that up you sure won't get any more answers from me.

First of all, my e-mail works. I still get plenty of mail in this mailbox (famicom@sympatico.ca), which is the one I supplied. Last time you e-mailed me, that I know of, was before Halloween '04, when you planned to release a demo on that date.

Second, I was just trying to help you, so I can do without your sour grapes. I tried (on this board) to get a more detailed description from you, of your problem. I didn't receive any. So excuse me for trying to guess at your problem in order to help you solve it.

Last, there is no conspiracy, and the fact that I've not been around for a long time doesn't mean shit. I've never been around much anyway, even though I do "snoop around" from time to time (I don't have much free time nowadays). I'm still here for assistance, but this isn't the complaints bureau. Backup your thingies, and pray for the best. It's in the manual. And if you don't like that, don't use the damn editor. I've never been the one to brag, on the contrary (maybe that's why you think I'm untrustworthy), but at least I tried to make it more than a half-arsed attempt at an editor, with good, extensive features. And on that front I know I delivered. As for the programming and the bugs, I just DON'T KNOW. There must be some bugs and you discovered one, that's granted.

Now you tried the editor, maybe you don't like it, so my advice to you is, don't use it. And tell all your friends not to use it, if you like. But please, don't come back to me like I owe you some kind of apology. A couple months ago your ROM got corrupted "ever so slightly" by reVamp. Now you make it sound like you're RUINED!!! RUINED, I TELL YOU!!... and you're trashing the editor like there's no tomorrow. Makes you wonder what happened in the meantime to get you so pissed off.

Now Bit-Blade, I'll look at the patch you just released, maybe I'll fix your problem, maybe not, and maybe you'll continue working on the hack or maybe not. And that's fine. I just hate to see you mad at me because you're one of the most dedicated hackers that worked on this game, and I would love to see your hack progress. As I've told you before.

Kudos, my friends...

That wasn't animosity. That was just me talking XD. Guess you'd really have to know me in real life? I tried that data change at the offset you supplied but it didn't seem to make any difference, so I was kind of sad but... no, I don't dislike you.

Whoah whoah whoah, untrustworthy? Jesus, I'm wondering where the hell you are getting this from. I'm really sorry you took my post the wrong way but the only thing I really feel about the whole ordeal is slightly annoyed because I really didn't want to cancel this hack. Nothing on the order "omg that fucking rouki screwed me over good. what a bastard". Hell, I don't even KNOW you well enough to dislike you. Just because I get pissed at the editor every now again doesn't mean I'm necesarilly pissed at you. You did the best you could and that's all anyone can ask.

Anyway, I tried emailing you like a month ago and got a MAILER_DAEMON error of the email not existing, but it was a different email addy, I think. I'll save this one in my gmail. I'm bit.blade@ gmail.com.

All right then. My bad. Forget the whole thing !
Meanwhile, I found the trouble with your hack. The fix is in the other thread.
