Changing the music for the end sequence

Post by Zero X. Diamond »

Is there any way to switch the music that the game plays during the ending sequence to the "Eat Your Veggies" theme from the Well of Wishes? If I could get a patch for that, that would be super fantastic.

Code: Select all

%patch $9CD7 $08 $00
The numbers correspond with the levels in the game, so the defaults are:

00 = "Shadowlands"
01 = "Kick in the Pants"
02 = "Slug Village"
03 = "Slug Village"
04 = "Too Hot"
05 = "Too Hot"
06 = "Kick in the Pants"
07 = "Slug Village" (this is the default)
08 = "Eat your Veggies"
09 = "Eat your Veggies"
0A = "Eat your Veggies"
0B = "Too Hot"
0C = "Too Hot"
0D = "Too Hot"
0E = "Too Hot"
0F = "Too Hot"
10 = "Too Hot"
11 = "Eat your Veggies"
12 = "Slug Village"
13 = "Fanfare" (which, ironically enough, doesn't work--it's silent!)
14+ = error

If you've changed the music for individual levels, you'll have to assign a level number to match the music you want for this patch! :)

Fanfare? Isn't that the one from the Keen 5 ending?

As far as I know, it should be the music that ordinarily plays when you rescue an Oracle member.

i have a slightly related question- do you or anyone else know how to sorta turn off any new music for the ending sequence and have it just continue playing the music that was playing previously? Cause i know you can do that for when you collect council members.

The first method is simply to make the ending sequence music the same song as the ending level(s); if there's more than one level the game can be won in, things get complicated. The other way requires two patches, one to keep the same music playing after the Council Member is got, the second to stop the music changing in the ending sequence. The side effect is the member's background music will be the same as the levels. (If the first line is removed then the E.S. music will be the same as the member's music.)

Code: Select all

#Ending sequence has same music as last level
%patch $F4CD $90 $90 $90 $90 $90 #Don't change music for member
%patch $F5E7 $90 $90 $90 $90 $90 #Don't change music after member rescued
%patch $9CDA $90 $90 $90 $90 $90 #Don't play E.S. music
