Base ROM Inclusions

[AnimeRules]

Hey can I be approved? I'm still AnimeRules I think on the wiki.

Hey can I be approved? I'm still AnimeRules I think on the wiki.

To be approved you just go to "Join wiki" and send it, then wait for (tatanga maybe?) to approve you.

[tatanga]

yeah I don't see any requests pending right now so you have to join first.

also I made Tails_155 an organiser as well so he can approve you when you register if I'm not there for some reason. Any hack collaborators who register will be made organisers so they can approve members as well.

EDIT: Okay, you're approved.

[QuietProtag]

Am I approved? I join the wiki. It's luigiman09 on the wiki. (it's the same)

You have to join this wiki. I can't approve you until you join it.

Edit: Alright, you're in. Also, I don't think we need to clutter the Base ROM inclusions thread with questions about getting approved. You'll get approved when you register.

[QuietProtag]

Ok. I just do it. (I thought I was already registered, but it's for the wikispaces account)

Hey, is the base rom going to include the basic patches like fast rom/ no sprite tile limit so we don't have to tell some newcomers who are lazy to patch it themselves during testing?

Of course. That's a big part of why we're using a baseROM in the first place!

[Tails_155]

Apparently I fail at including blocks, I've been trying to make a base ROM for H201 and either the ones that I have are not as good as I thought, I'm doing something wrong, or .44 hates the Blocktool to BTSD blocks.

[AnimeRules]

What is happening when you insert the block?

[Tails_155]

With .44? Literally nothing. Every one of the blocks I tried to include (I saved, I even reinserted to make sure) just acts like the normal version of whatever I set it to act like.

[AnimeRules]

Hmm... did you make sure you inputted all the data correctly when you put the blocks into the database/library?

[Tails_155]

Yep... no luck whatsoever.

Works fine with .43, but Chdata wants to use .44, and it's apparently not backwards compatible. Or at least once a .44 block is inserted, .43 seems to crash.

[AnimeRules]

Huh, that's weird, what page did you insert to?

[DaxterSpeed]

With .44? Literally nothing. Every one of the blocks I tried to include (I saved, I even reinserted to make sure) just acts like the normal version of whatever I set it to act like.

Could you go through the whole process of you inserting blocks? Idk, but you might be doing something wrong.

(Also, I'd like to be accepted to the wiki)

[Tails_155]

Like I said, I am doing everything correct by .43's standards, I did a parallel runthrough of the process on both (.43 on an empty SMW that was only opened in LM so it could use Blocktool) and saved to the same spot, and the .44 version does absolutely nothing.

[raocow]

did you compare notes with peeps at smwcentral? If anyone knows what is going on, it'd be those guys.

[Tails_155]

So far most of what I've gotten is "it works fine for me." :S

The biggest issue is I'm, at this point, having to redo the whole thing, because Chdata forgot a couple important files for others, if they're taking over the process for a month (blocks.db, and the blocks he used, for example, so I can't even open A2MT's base rom in BlocktoolSD at the moment)

[yoshicookiezeus]

because Chdata forgot a couple important files for others

Why does this seem so very familiar?

[Tails_155]

Did that happen in ASMT or something? I don't get it.

[yoshicookiezeus]

You could say that, yes. There were quite a few times when he either forgot to submit needed stuff or submitted stuff that wasn't tested properly and thus didn't work.

[Tails_155]

If that's the case, I guess that version 1.1 is what people will have to use until Chdata gets some time. :S

I think everyone who is intending to include stuff will need at least the db, the included blocks, the dbk and the dsc... otherwise it won't have what's needed for someone else to open it in Blocktool, same with the SpriteTool contents whenever the time comes for that.

[Chdata]

I sent Tail's the stuff he needed.

[Tails_155]

Something still isn't working right... it says those blocks aren't included.

SCRATCH THAT! We're golden.

[Chdata]

I would've sent it immediately yesterday when I came home with my desk gone and computer on the floor. I got a new desk today and put it back together.
