Need some assistance with my hack, maps, events, graphics

On monsters physical damage instead of the random 56-63 could the range be widened to say 16 to 84?

It's entirely possible. It may present a case where the physical damage dealt by two of the same enemies would vary drastically, but if you're okay with that, implementing the new range should be quite easy.

As for defense, is it possible to do something similar to the physical damage to use Stamina and Defense?

Yep, that should be quite easy as well.

I hope you don't mind all my questions. Just trying to learn.

Not at all. I'm a helper. 0:-)

The mod I'm doing will definitely call for that random of a range of monster damage.

Thanks for helping out, it is greatly appreciated.

That kind of damage could make things very interesting JCE. That could potentially wipe parties out easily in long dungeons if you get a few nasty hits.

When you see my mod and what it's based on trust me you'll understand. That and thankfully my mod isn't really a dungeon crawler.


I hope to have a tech demo before the spring/summer.

I look forward to seeing it. Also I am still working on the sprites for you, been trying to carve out at least a little time each day to work on them a bit.

Oh cool. Take your time, I'm not in a huge hurry. Something like this needs time and quality work don't you agree? So I'm in no rush.

I just cannot edit the title screen or simply bypass it altogether. I've been able to get a splash screen intro done but my goal to have it go from splash screen to Load Save screen OR edit the title screen graphics themselves.

I could have a look at this in the next few days.

Oh good. Is be greatful if you could help out.

I was able to skip the title screen by replacing this:

Code:

7E/501D:    20A850      JSR $50A8      (Handler for title screen)

You have to make as if you press ''a'' right away instead of loading the title screen:

Code:

7E/50B2:    A506        LDA $06        (Load controller 1 bits)
7E/50B4:    8980        BIT #$80       (Pressing A?) (BMI...)
7E/50B6:    D008        BNE $50C0      (Branch if so)

So instead of a JSR $50A8 ou need a JSR $50C0. The magic byte is at C2/6890. Just change the A8 for a C0. It works fine, except a rapid white flash in ZSNES. First time it loaded the intro right away, then when I saved once it loaded the game selection screen. There is probably a way to have a smoother transition (no white flash), except I haven't really had time to look into this closely.

For the title screen, it is also called via events:

Code:

CA/5E33: A9    Show title screen

You could try replacing A9 by FD (unused command) to see what it does.

Edit: This doesn't work as it remove the spalsh screen as well.
