Newer Summer Sun Special

[branran]

Aren't I supposed to put the XML file in the RIIvulution folder on the root, and then put the actual game folder on the root too? Thats what i've been doing with the other 2 games lol

[Skawo]

All you should do is unpack the contents of /Newer Summer Sun onto the root.

Also, which version of the game do you have? Where do you live?

[branran]

I'm not really sure what version of the game I have, but I got it 2 years ago. And I live in Canada.

Also, if i unpack the contents of summer sun, wouldn't that mean i wouldn't beable to play any of the other games incase i wanted to? because ill be overwriting the old riivultion folder that has another.xml etc..

[Skawo]

NTSCv2 then, which should work.

Your folders should merge.

[branran]

Your folders should merge.

I'm sorry, what does that mean? Wouldn't it overwrite because it has the same name?

[Skawo]

No, they should merge, uh...

absorb, amalgamate, assimilate, be swallowed up, become lost in, become partners, blend, cement, centralize, coalesce, combine, come aboard, compound, conglomerate, consolidate, converge, deal one in, fuse, hitch on, hook up, immerge, incorporate, interface, intermingle, intermix, join, join up, line up, marry, meet, meld, melt into, mingle, mix, network, plug into, pool, slap on, submerge, synthesize, tack on, tag, team up, throw in together, tie in, unite

[branran]

[hellofahedgehog]

hey newer team, ive started to make my own short hack and wondered if i could use the summer sun xml as a base?(I suck at making them) i'd greatly appriciate it and all the levels and such will be changed, I just want to use the xml if thats okay please?

[Tempus]

Feel free to use the summer sun xml as an example as to how to make your own. I just better not see any 'Newer Summer Sun' things left inside there. You can at least rename the patches.


Edit: Also, be sure to remove anything that you don’t know what it does. Lest you cause crashes when riivolution tries to replace things that don’t exist - like our custom code loader and binaries.

Will do! thankyou! and I'll try not to leave anything, once my projects released, if you spot anything i may have left in please let me know and I'll remove it instantly, but as I say, that shouldn't occure!

[lukulus]

Like your Summer-Sun-walkthrough, Skawo!

[lukulus]

The game slows down if I activate the POW-Block in 9-1. Is that normal ?

[Skawo]

Yes

Hello Skawo,
I noticed that you use Pa0 doors (Closed Door) with entrances set to "Normal?". Does this have a specific reason? Because I can't get those doors to work properly.

Edit: Just looked at this video and it seems it doesn't work that way either, players won't step out the door...

Edit2: You use sprite 11 (unassigned function) and also sprite 332 (Lift_Toride) in W8-Castle, area 2. May I ask why, or were they 'recoded'?

[Tempus]

Sprite 11 is the only custom sprite in Summer Sun - the roll your own model sprite, a sprite I designed that allows designers to use arbitrary models they specify in their level designs. The models have no collisions, and no behaviour other than the ability to activate limited animations. It was used for the giant Chomps, the stone wigglers, and the black koopa statues.

Sprite 332 is a valid and workable platform.

question... why can't we use codes in Summer Sun and Winter Special? I'm tryin' to play them with a code that lets me play as Blue Toad, but it freezes before the title screen everytime. The code has always been working, I've played as Toad through hacks like Curse of Black Toad, The Next Levels, and Hellboy edition no problem, but it just won't work for this one. really sucks that the Toad code doesn't work with these big, professional hacks, is there a reason why?

well I assume it's because it has been hacked with memory and code changing patches already, so essentially it's not the same game being hacked anymore... but you know what happens when you assume. You make an ass out of yourself.

[Tempus]

The Ocarina loader resides in a free memory block at 0x80001800. This is a beautiful little piece of memory that is guaranteed to never be touched by Nintendo or a Wii game. As of such, it’s the perfect place for loaders and binary blobs of all kinds. Likewise, the Newer hacks put our dynamic loader code into that area as well - both cannot coexist.

Fancy explanation aside, you are trying to cram two large clowns into a small car, and then wondering why they can’t drive straight.
