I'd like to start off that I'm 100% positive that my editing problems
stemmed from trying to set the start positions in rooms 64,65 and 66
(JSW 64:V I failed to mention that whilst whinging in the first
place) also my new prob (which I'm sure has been mentioned before)
starts up in The return of the Kong Beast room, which in my game is
now re-located to room 68 starts the swordfish routine when you
finish it. The things I've changed in this room are as follows: I've
changed the switch colours to dark blue bright, I've added a dark
blue bright barrel to the top of the screen, I've changed the lower
yellow barrel (the one on the same level as the opening wall) to a
regular speed guardian when the switch is tripped which moves further
to the right I've changed the water and crumbler graphics, and the
exit portal is set to hit room 69. The swordfish routine starts and
crashes the game so once again I've hit a wall (if like last time I
can sort it I will but for the time being I may need some help).
Other things that I've been thinking the JSW 128 mass collab? I
would've added to that had the aforementioned death had not occurred
at the time I expressed my interest I was heavily involved in other
projects then it got released and I thought that was it.....and I was
left thinking it was because nobody else seemed interested.
Unfortunately the 64 (sorry Sendy but I must agree with you) is dying
before it started, I even made 2 semi-decent (a matter of opinion)
attempts to start it off. I'm a little disappointed though I would've
(not that I'm giving up) liked to see what happened.
Also just something John Elliot said about trying not to display
software projects code on his page(Johns words stop here), in
principal even though due to a lack of grief from software fatcats we
can still edit JSW (not Johns words), personally if any software
biggies say no more edits I guess I'll change all my games heros'
name to Billy and modify the original sprites enough to make them not
the property of whoever. Also if it became a harsh legal matter I'd
still use JSWED and stick DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!! all over my releases. If
they were gonna start getting really nasty I suppose anything from
any of our games that appear in their games we could shout Oi! that's
my sprite Or Oi that's my 8x8 I want X amount of cash for every
screen it appears in hahahahahaha!!! I'm just blowing off steam haha
I have suspicions that software companies of today will not try to
sue us all for a game thats 20 odd years old and been off the shelves
on it's original platforms since about 93 (but gimme JSW instead of
Metal Gear 3 any day).
I'm in work late again so I'm a bit sozzled hence the ranting hahaha
DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!!
