http://www.insertcredit.com/ - On this site, about an 8th of the way down the page is something about an Adventure Game Scripter for the GBA called "Heaven's Door". It says...

Tailzone has developed something interesting recently - Heaven's Door, an ADV game scripter for the GBA. You put in the images you want, the choices, and the results, and there you go! Well, it's a bit more complicated than that, but looks like a rather nice tool. I believe you can option out his usual frightening text color-scheme.

The homepage for Heaven's Door is here: http://cgi3.omn.ne.jp/~tail/cgi-bin/tpwr.cgi?code=heavensdoor

It's completely in Japanese-- I can't figure out a thing. I downloaded it and it turned out to be a .bin file. If this could be figured out... we'd have endless possibilites of what could be done with it! Make your own GBA game! Can anyone figure out how this works?

It sounds like a "The Games Factory" thing for GameBoy Advance. In other words, don't bother with it. It's not for hacking.

This is what I want! I'm aware it's not for hacking, however, you could make a simple text game with pictures using it, or something else that's similar. It could prove to be a really fun and interesting tool. But, I can't get it to work. It doesn't need to be translated necessarily, if only I could figure out how to use it as it is.

HeavensDoorはNovelopと互換性があります。スクリプト、セーブデータは、そのまま移行できます。バグが多数あるかもしれません。

BMP39478.exeは準備中です。ウインドウズ付属の「ペイント」、または画像変換フリーソフト「IrfanView」で出力される形式は、BMP39478.exeと同じ仕様です。

39480バイト出力のペイントソフトがあるようです。IrfanViewで再変換すると改善されます。

タイトル、ヘッダ修正ソフト「ADVHEADERCHANGER」を準備中です。

HeavensDoor works in tandem with Novelop. You can transfer the script and save data just as they are. There might be some bugs, though.

BMP39478.exe is still being developed. The file type output from Paint (which comes with Windows) or the freeware IrfanView is the same as that of BMP39478.exe.


240x160 + 1024 + 54 = 39478
. x. . y. Palette BMP Header Total


Paint software exists that will output 39480 bytes. This can be improved by (?) readjusting IrfanView.

I'm still preparing a program called "ADVHEADERCHANGER" which will edit the titles and headers.

I e-mailed the creator about it and this is the response that I recieved:

Hello.
I am Tail of tAiLzOnE webmaster.
Thank you for an inquiry in HeavensDoor.

You have to memorize 50 or more sorts of commands.
The Bitmap of (Width:240 x Height:160 x 256color=FileSize:39478Byte) is
used.
A command and a scenario are created by the text file.
It connects by the COPY command of DOS.
A '/B' option is attached and it is connection on a Binary level.

ex)
copy /b heavensdoor.bin+yourlogo.bmp+background.bmp+character1.bmp
+command.txt yourgame.bin

Sorry... I am not good at English.
It is waiting for a reply!

Thank you very much.

This sounds really neat... but shouldn't this belong in the Game Creaton Section?

Klick and play for GBA... XD

Klick and play is the same as the game factory, just very older and with more limitaions... I have Klick and play. Had alot of fun with it as kid...

It seems to be some sort of Choose your own way style thing.

I figured this wouldn't get the attention it deserves in that forum, and it is closer to ROM Hacking... since, I guess, you hack the Heaven's Door ROM into a game.

It's not for hacking any ROM, though. It creates a stand-alone game.

Does it? I figured you hack the ROM provided into the game you're making through means of other programs... Well, if it needs to be moved... that's fine. I just want help figuring out how it's used. I don't understand.

This program sucks IMNSHO.

I'm not basing that on the screenshots but on the way you make the rom.

If I didn't lose DevKitAdv, I could whip up something remarkably similar in a month.
