| Ok, some of you may remember my solomon's key editor. Some of you might even remember me passing the project on. Well, I was contacted on MSN recently by someone requesting the source code and any information I had on it. They said they grew up with the game and wanted to add support for different things. He messaged me again today with a copy of what he has done so far. (He started from scratch on his own editor) |

| Though it doesn't have much to do with the editor, I really like the look of that window class. Is that an XP style or some self-coded thing? | |||

Originally posted by Violent J everyone acts like im the only one who starts a project then does something else, and then doesnt go back to one for awhile...thats exactly why I dont come in the rom hacking forum much anymore...and the solomons key one was different, I got it from killa, did a couple things, then when trying to do some more things, it kinda made me want to go back the the YI editor, which I did a little more on, and then stopped for awhile again. now im doing other stuff...so yeah, its not like im NOT gonna do it, its just i have to many things to do already. |

| Sorry Dcah, I hoped you would see that post so maybe you would remember those in case you forgot them! Well, I guess it's nice that you still ARE working on them, and I guess I seemed to forgot that editors dont always take 2 days... | |||

| Sorry Googie, but i was talking about the editor that that guy sent to King_Killa. I'm interested in it because i see it supports hidden items (Doen't matter if it's incomplete, i can compliment it with KK's editor ) |

Ok.. I'm working on the above editor. New screenshots at: http://rubby.ducker.org/~oman/sk/ I would have posted something sooner but the board has been broken and I haven't been able to create a new account! As you can see I have monsters working. I have two issues to work out before I can finish up the first release. 1) I need to reverse engineer the monster drop patterns from the mirrors. I know how to choose from existing patterns (like making level 3 drop monsters like level 12) but I really want this to be editable. 2) I need to modify my rom hack so that special items only appear the first time you play the level (the normal behaviour) The level data is stored in a "compressed" format that's basically has a few variable length lists tacked on. Like a list of all the items in the level and where they get placed.. then a list of all the monsters. The problem with this is that there is only a specific amount of space available in the rom so there is a limit to how many items/monsters you can have in the game. Not being satisfied with this... I've taken the rom and converted it from mapper 3 to mapper 66 to double the amount of program ROM. Then I modified the level load routines to take all of their data out of the new ROM in an uncompressed format. I have this working 100% except for the fact that special items like extra lives and such keep appearing no matter how many times you die. (makes the game easier but isn't correct Once I have these 2 issues fixed the editor is going to be a piece of cake to finish up. Interesting things to note: I have figured out how the Mighty Bombjack secrets in levels 17 and 39 work. These will be editable (although they will only work in 17 and 39) I've figured out how the Chipmunk/Rabbit bonus tiles work in 20 and 39. These will be editable also (see gamefaqs if you have no clue what I'm talking about The princess room, Solomon's room, and the space/time page rooms will not be editable. There is special purpose code to handle the weird secrets in here and by changing the level data you're just going to break things. There is a huge multi-level handling routine that covers all the secret stuff for each level that I *could* recode from scratch but it's going to be a bunch of work and hard to make fit (especially if I'm going to add stuff) I don't think there are any more major secrets to the game (not that I've seen from dumping all this ASM)  I think that's it.... next update probably next week since real life work has me super busy, and thanks to KingKilla for info/cluing me in to the existence of this board. (Also.. this is the first NES anything I've ever done... if I'm doing anything in a retarded way just let me know oman |

Originally posted by oman You aren't doing anythig in a retarted way, & I liked those pics you posted on your site & they rock! I'm glad this editor is on it's way soon, there was this thread months ago talking about which editors people'll like to see, I mentioned a Solomon's Key editor. When Killa came out with his, I went crazy. I used to have the original cart. (fuggin ex-girlfriend trashed it) Well, good work on what you did & I can't wait to try out this editor. Welcome to the board, btw.  |
