character select

[Naga]

i've finished my character wad, but i dont know how to get them to appear on the 1 player character select screen. Can someone tell me how?

 

[Some guy2]

Check OBJCTCFG in Amy or Shadow or any other char wad that appears on the select screen.

 

[Naga]

i've tryed this already, i just copied and pasted the lumps into my wad.
wait, do you have to put these in manually for it to work? not paste them?

EDIT: just tried that, never worked. is they a SOC edit involved?

 

[tentril]

I'm pretty sure it is a SOC edit, but you'll have to ask someone else about that.

 

[Bigboi]

It's not an SOC edit. Trust me.

 

[Sik]

With SOC editing it can be done. Apparently without SOC editing it's possible, too, but I don't know how...

 

[Monsteriestyn]

It's sort of an SOC edit, because it changes SRB2's coding.

 

[Naga]

how do you do SOC edits?

 

[JTE]

... ... ... OBJCTCFG and MAINCFG are exactly the same, they are both loaded as DeHackEd files, or SOC edits. Character selection screen entrys in SOC edits are easily changeable via any plain text editor, as SOC edits are in plain text format.

 

[Naga]

its now selectable in 1 player, but as soon as i highlight the name a segment violation appears

 

[JTE]

Did you point the SOC edit to use a non-existant character select pic, then?

 

[Naga]

its pointing at the picture correctly. does the picture have to use doom's 256 colour pallette?

 

[Shadow Hog]

EVERY image has to use DOOM's 256-color pallette. They haven't put in support for anything higher than 8-bit, yet...

 

[Naga]

hmm, i'll just try changing the image to 256...

EDIT: just changed the colours, but the picture is not on the character select and when i select my character the games starts using sonic.
