Elder Vorticons

Post by levellass »

LL's patches were an utter mess; this is (I hope.) a little simpler and more versatile to use. First, you can disable the Elder messages (Why? I don't know.)

Code: Select all

#Disable:
%patch $4AA4 $C3
Next there's the window size:

Code: Select all

#Window size:
%patch $4AB8 $0D $00 #Window height
%patch $4ABC $16 $00 #Window width
And finally the text calls and text. These two sets of patches have to be used together, the first parts make each window have only one (Long) line in it, so you don't have to pat attention to line lengths anymore and can fiddle with ease. However, you should only edit the lines without an $EB in them. (Even if you don't relocate your text, I warn you again that the first part of patches is needed.)

As for the text, it can be any length, $0A ends a line and moves down, $00 finishes the window. Make sure you're text isn't longer than the space you have there and you're fine.

Code: Select all

#Text read from: [value + 17780 = location]
%patch $4AD9 $EB $36 #Message 1
%patch $4B15 $4C $28 #Change this line only
%patch $4B1D $EB $52 #Message 2
%patch $4B74 $0C $29 #Change this line only
%patch $4B86 $14 $2A #End of windows message

              "not evil. Please do   " $0A
              "not shoot them, human." $0A
              "          " $00
