The ordering info scrub
The ordering info scrub
Because I enlarged the scrub my ordering info screen is now kinda messed up. You see when the scrub is one tile sized, it moves along the border. When it's bigger, it moves only along the border when it's crawling up the left wall and moving right via the ceiling. On the left and down border he will go partially out of the screen, just a part as big as the original scrub will remain visible. Change your scrub's size to 48 x 32 to see what im talking about.
(Note that the path the scrub takes has nothing to do with what solid tiles are around him in level 80.)
Now not only does this look kinda weird, it's messing up the text too. When crawling up and left (when he's NOT partially out of view), any text he touches will disappear. I dont like that.
Is there a way to fix this problem, say for example totally delete this scrub from level 90, make him always go partially out of the screen, or even replace him with another enemy?

Re: The ordering info scrub
EzJay already tried that, back in 2004...
It seems that the Ordering Info Scrub uses his own little snippet of code... and that's what he needs the patch for.Ezjay wrote:(Note that the path the scrub takes has nothing to do with what solid tiles are around him in level 80.)
I can look at this after Mort day; I think I know where the code is, but getting the actual sprite to do something different will be difficult; normal sprites need to reference both move and touch tiles subroutines, which makes it wasy to see what they're doing; the ordering info screen sprites seem just to be animated frames.

No, it's just a sprite image that's moved round the screen.
Patch here
That will stop the scrub being drawn on the ordering info screen -- that's all I've got time to do right now.

Easy, but then the game crashes.
Uh, I kinda deleted them, since you did yours; and I really don't have time to look them up for a while, all my keen projects have been jumbled.Indeed; I was tempted to look into that, but I had to go catch the bus to work. I look forward to seeing your patches for it.
