Pea brain and peapod separated from each other

Post by szemigi »

Hey. I want a request.

The pea brain and the pea pod are two different enemies (just like the walking and flying Blue Bird in Keen 4).

It means: The pea pod doesn't spit pea brains.


And as a plus request, the pea brain is harmless, but it pushes you (like the little ampton in Keen 5) and cannot be killed.


These would be very important!

This patch stops the Peapod from spitting at all:

Code: Select all

#Peapod doesn't spit
%patch $25DA0 $08680B22RL
%patch $25DBE $08680B22RL
%patch $25DDC $08680B22RL
%patch $25DFA $08680B22RL
The Pea Brain can be placed in the levels and work fine, it is the square before the Pea pod, it just has no graphic. (You should give it one.)

This patch makes the Pea Brain squashable and makes the Pea Pod push Keen. (Delete the old patch I sent, as you note it does not work.) Keen can squash the brain when jumping up, but I can change this so that only when falling can Keen squash.

Here the Brain becomes Keen's 'Zzzz' sprite just because.

Code: Select all

#Make space with Carrot and Pea
%patch $7916 $1A1FW #Carrot
%patch $7934 $19ACW #Brain
%patch $7932 $1A1FW #Pod

#New Pea Brain collision -squashed by airborne Keen
%patch $782C $81 $7D $1E $14D2W  $72 $6C $81 $7D $1E $1676W  $77 $65
             $C7 $44 $1E $0E7EW  $C7 $04 $0019W  $5F $5E $5D $CB

#Pea Brain doesn't stun
%patch $65E4 $073EW

Everything works okay. But I have some problems and notes:

Problems:

I put the pea brain in a level, but it doesn't move back and forth, just stands + walking at the same time (it's like it got stuck).

Notes:

The Zzz animation is used for Keen's sleeping animation (above his head) and now the Zzz is also used for the squished pea brain sprite as well (with your patch).
So that's why I want to request a patch, which removes the Zzz animation above Keen's head during sleeping. Can you make it?

I already sent you a patch to stop ALL of the bored stuff, does it not stop Keen sleeping?

Did you change the size of your Pea sprite? That can wreck things. This patch might help:

Code: Select all

#Place Pea Brain in level -fall to ground
%patch $9191 $228AW
