Basic Event Commands (video)

Tutorial #2: Basic Commands

Since I decided to do a series, I'll cramp up the tutorials in this thread.

In this tutorial I'm editing the multi-party Narshe mine battle by covering basic command concerning character creation as well as party setup. I also explain some effects commands such as sound effects and screen flashing. This tutorial is aimed for beginners that knows how to work with a hex editor. There are some uncertainties toward the end concerning command $3D versus command $42 + clearing presence bit, which to favor and when. Hopefully someone can enlighten me on that. There is also some questioning about the real utility of command $45, if any. All that in the company of KUPAC!


What is covered:

Command 7F: Assign name
Command 40: Assign actor properties
Command 3D: Create object
Command 37: Assign sprite
Command 43: Assign palette
Command 3F: Assign character to party
Command B5: Pause execution
Command 55: Flash screen
Command F4: Play sound effect
Command 42: Hide object (entity)
