| The revealing of the entrances to Turtle Rock and Misery Mire (among others) are considered overlays. In the data for overworld areas there is a set of bits that controls whether an overlay is "pasted" over the old graphics if certain bits are set. e.g. if you open Misery Mire, it will paste over with the opened entrance tiles rather than the ominous face looking tiles. | |||

| If you can consistently produce this nasty bug, you'll know it's something that HM does every time. It could be something that occurs at random though (or semi-randomly). Anyways, if you can, try to reinsert the monologue and see if you get the exact same problem. Then get back to us. | |||

| You can dream many things that never come to pass. Just like you can fear many things that do not actually happen. | |||

Look for "overworld event information" Since $7EF000 is the start of what will eventually go into SRAM, this data lies at $7EF280 to $7EF2FF. Working in an .srm file works similarly. As for how you'd set the bits, I'll use Misery Mire as an example. Say you wanted to make it so that, after doing a certain thing, Misery Mire entrance would be revealed, but the thing you did would be done outside of the Misery Mire overworld area (Swamp of Evil). The proceses of revealing the entrance in real time is a little more involved and actually uses several different overlays being drawn in succession. That's what you see if you use the Ether Medallion in the original game to open it up. However, suppose you have some trigger in overworld area $7A that causes the entrance to be revealed. You'd have to use code somewhat like this: PHP ; store processor state SEP #$30 ; makes X, Y, and A registers all 8-bit. LDX #$79 ; This is the offset in $7EF280 for Misery Mire's data LDA $7EF280, X ORA #$20 ; This sets the bit for the entrance overlay to be drawn. STA $7EF280, X PLP ; retrieve original processor state |

| 1/0 is the same as saying 1 * the inverse of zero. In rings and fields, there is no divide operation. In the formal theory, there really is no division operator at all, just multiplication by an inverse or addition by an inverse. (This means subtraction is also not a formal operator). So yeah... bad Beneficii, bad! | |||

| Black Lord: by order of operations, whatever is in parentheses is 'executed' first, and that is why 1 divided by zero would execute prior to the power outside of it. Hence the whole exp |

| You know... the factorial is just the Gamma function, and most calculators nowadays have it built in. You can also set it up as an integral. As I recall it doesn't work for certain negative values but I don't remember the specifics. Maybe it was negative odd integers... | |||

Originally posted by Silvershield Indeed what he set up was a fallacy. Regardless, it would be impossible to create such a book, that by its own power convinces people of the existence of anything. The nature of the scienfic method is observation in the here and now. I find it very strong evidence that the New Testament claims many bore witness to Jesus' miracles and the miracles of his followers, but it does not convince me that what is written is actually true. I'm reminded of the Family Guy treatment of the Jesus miracles. Yes we understand that your mindset is determined by faith, we just don't care for that mindset ourselves. To quote the movie Pi: When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere. I want you to consider if there is any wisdom in this statement, because if you don't, it's only going to seem like I'm flaming you. This of course happened to be concerning the number 216 appearing everywhere, which, by the way, is 6^3 = 6*6*6 which looks like 666 (scary coincidence eh?), but the point stands. A relative of mine at one point thought a man from California was out to get us [my family] and had conspired against us with the police due to a hormonal leap into menopause. But I don't really consider her any more insane than the theories of most religions out there. Probably a little more paranoid. She's fine now though, thanks to some therapy and a little drugs. Now obviously the paranoid kind of insanity is more dangerous to those around you and not very healthy. Most people would rather believe that what they find pleasing is true. And that is why I think many people like Christianity. It is a very pleasing religion to believe in. The idea that those who are good and follow Jesus' teaching receive a reward is something many people will find comfort in. How many popular religions are there that tell everyone they are going to hell no matter what? A religion like that just doesn't sell. There are some that say "oh, only X amount are going to heaven." And everyone in that religion probably thinks that they are 1 out of that X because in their mind they are all competing. It's sounds like one of those game theory problems to try to keep everyone acting honest. Like I said earlier, I do believe that religions are crafted by geniouses. I mean, just look at how well Christianity has spread! (Sometimes by the sword but we won't go into that.) |

We talked about it a few months ago, and I don't see it on the store shelves yet  . I'm going to buy it no matter what, but the updated trailer looks even better than I last remembered. |

| If you've been exposed to the teachings of Christianity, and you've received a fair treatment of what they really stand for, yet you are not interested, it is beyond my power and my duty to do anything more. As I said, I'm not here to convert anyone. It you don't care for that mindset yourself, I'm not about to argue with you about it.
Actually, I stand in awe of the teachings of Christ, as regards to how to conduct ourselves and get along. Really, the whole Bible is a very solid text and I don't appreciate people who belittle it as they probably haven't taken the time to read it. I want to write Richard Dawkins for his cricism of Kings 19 in The God Delusion as he takes it out of context considerably. There was a kid I met in IRC once who tried to link everyone to this one site claiming the Bible was satanic (can't find it). I really can't argue with any of the New Testament and what it has to say about how we should be. Like I said, Christianity is a very likable and sensible religion, until you start having to get into the nastier theological debates about whether Christ is God, the whole Trinity thing, moral nitpicking and so on. won't argue with you for a second over the notion that the brain has that tendency, but there is no external evidence for you to automatically attribute religion to it. As we've been going on in this thread, that is precisely it. The lack of evidence for the theistic case is precisely why I make the connection. Would it be improper to connect it with Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny? (And these examples are not meant to belittle religon; obviously these examples are deliberate falsehoods meant to hype up kids for holidays.) Religious beliefs are fractious and varied, whereas reality is... well, reality. Of course there are propaganda machines to distort reality such as media outlets but what you experience everyday is tangible and you (hopefully) are very familiar with it by now. And my point is not only that the tendency to fantasize could not only be the source of religion, it also helps reinforce it. I'm not sure, but I think you thought I implied that religion was intentionally fabricated, and that was not what I meant. (edited by MathOnNapkins on 10-31-06 01:35 AM) |

| I already told y'all what 1/0 was and y'all didn't believe me. It was a thread on the old board. Consisted of constructing a continuous vector space of the real numbers based on multiplication and division by powers of zero. | |||

| Yes. But don't get into the mindset that ASM hacks are a cure-all. Yes I could whip up a one minute ASM hack to move the location that your headers are loaded from. The problem is that Hyrule Magic wouldn't be able to see them anymore. You'd have to fundamentally alter Hyrule Magic to do that. I wouldn't worry too much, I'm working on an editor that allows you to have unlimited header room and sprite room, as well as object room. When the dungeon editor is ready I'll send you a copy, but you can be patient, yes?
The ASM hacks folder is only there to make it easy to patch your rom using Hyrule Magic. This is for advanced users only who know how to code, and know what they are doing. Not to insult you or anything, but you're likely not anywhere near that level yet. |

| What exactly constitutes a useful post in this forum then? I mean, the rules are pretty vague. If someone comments on an applicant's grammar b/c it is, in fact, bad, I would consider that helpful b/c the person would know to immediately change their typing style. Not everybody who comes here at first seems to know that we have high standards on grammar and spelling. If they're wise, they'll shift immediately to help their case for approval.
Now, if someone flames the applicant while correcting their spelling, I'd consider that unhelpful 1. b/c it's a violation of the FAQ, and 2. it might just turn away an otherwise future contributing member from even coming here. Is this the kind of distinction you're trying to make? B/c otherwise I dont' feel welcome to post in this forum at all lest I be banned for trying to tell someone how to improve themselves for approval or hyping a friend of mine I know is a good hacker, like Kejardon. |

| It's coming along slowly, but hopefully in the next few days you'll be able to do something useful with it. And it uses *gasp* asm hacks to the original rom to accomplish this abundance of room. What it does is expand the rom from 1 megabyte to 2 megabytes (at least), then organizes all the data sequentially past the end of the normal part of the rom. Hyrule Magic does this too, though in a somewhat stupid way, but only for Overworld data. The ultimate goal is the most user friendly editor for Zelda 3 possible, though I don't know if I'll tackle everything that HM currently does in the long run. E.g. Making a more exciting title screen would involve just straight ASM hacking, rather than just manipulating graphics. No editor should attempt this b/c each particular coder is going to want to solve that problem differently. | |||

| Expanding your rom is easy. The answer to your question is no, b/c Hyrule Magic only looks at address $27502 for the header pointer table, which contains 2 byte local addresses. Both Zelda 3 and Hyrule Magic only look in bank $04. Hyrule Magic especially only looks in Bank $04, but you can edit Zelda 3 to look else where quite easily. The point I'm trying to make is that Hyrule Magic is inflexible in this regard. So no, unless you feel like altering Hyrule Magic somehow, will you not be able to expand sprite or header data. i.e. you CAN expand it, in fact my editor already does this. My editor, however, cannot edit the actual data yet, it just moves it. And once it is moved into the expanded area, Hyrule Magic will not be able to see it... at all. That's the point I'm trying to make. (edited by MathOnNapkins on 10-31-06 03:00 AM) |

Your computer must be broken  . Or maybe you need a plugin of some sort? I viewed it just fine on a minimally configured work computer. |
