terra's magitek

You are correct, Mad. Its because Terra's sprite ID is 0 that it doesn't need a CMP to have BNE branch properly. There are a bunch of ASL that you can move off to another portion of the code to make it all fit.

this:

Code:

C1/4D45:     0A          ASL A
C1/4D46:     0A          ASL A
C1/4D47:     0A          ASL A
C1/4D48:     0A          ASL A
C1/4D49:    0A          ASL A
C1/4D4A:    A8          TAY
C1/4D4B:    B9AE2E      LDA $2EAE,Y
C1/4D4E:    D010        BNE $4D60      (branch if not Terra)

change to this:

Code:

C1/4D45:    22XXXXXX  JSL XX/XXXX (Where XX/XXXX is the location of the moved code, remember to enter your byte words backwards, so a jump to 12/3456 goes 22 56 34 12)
C1/4D4A:    EA          NOP
C1/4D4B:    EA          NOP
C1/4D4C:    C903      CMP #$03       (Is this Shadow?)
C1/4D4E:    D010        BNE $4D60      (branch if not)

Then just shove off the ASLs and sprite index loading elsewhere:

Code:

XX/XXXX:     0A          ASL A
XX/XXXX:     0A          ASL A
XX/XXXX:     0A          ASL A
XX/XXXX:     0A          ASL A
XX/XXXX:    0A          ASL A
XX/XXXX:    A8          TAY
XX/XXXX:    B9AE2E      LDA $2EAE,Y
XX/XXXX:   6B             RTL

With this you can change it to anyone you want, or even a couple people, or if you really wanted to get fancy, create a few more branches and set up 3-4 different Magitek setups... but that would require a LOT more ASM in other parts of the code.


On an unrelated note, Quoting isn't working properly for me, Sometimes if I set up a "quote many" I can make it work, but normally I just get a blank reply box. Why is this forum so buggy for me and no one else?
