Post by Bubzrulz »

%patch $12A58 $90 $90 $90 $90 $90
was working before but now it still comes up and now when i delete this patch game goes on

Code: Select all

%patch $30A4B  "Cool!  NOW  i can jump " $0A

Do you get a message when the game crashes? For example if the message is 'String exceeds width!' then it means one of the lines of your wetsuit message is too long.

please remember to give us as many information as possible, like error outputs (or even the info that there is no error output like this time). this helps a lot debugging.
so it just freezes, right? like seen in this video over here? https://youtu.be/mmocPPOhMmk?t=11m4s
the issue as seen in the video was a typo:
  • %patch $30A37 "A safety suit." $0A fm
so you might want to search your patch file for typos anywhere near the wetsuit patch.


if you cannot find anything I'd suggest to shorten your wetsuit message in order to test if the text length might be the thing which is causing the problem. maybe into something like this:
  • %patch $30A4B "Lets pogo away!" $00

sure, moving messages is totally doable.
but I wouldn't do so at the moment as you are constantly coming up with new modding ideas. keep it in mind so that we can change this later on, after you've gathered all you patching stuff. otherwise we are going to shift things over and over again.
for the time being just shorten your wetsuit/pogo message. we'll come back to all this later on.

This is why I need copies of patch files when doing big patches, so I can fit and move all the patches around so they work properly.
