A2MT Complete! 1.9.5 Released!

[Tobi555]

Just out of curiosity... I have a few questions.

1) Was a final battle ever created for A2MT? I don't seem to remember one in raocow's LP, though I know Wyatt created a kickass theme for it. If not, is one in the works for this, as well as a custom ending?

2) Do the treasures now have unique graphics? And do they serve some kind of purpose, or are they just collectables for completionists?

3) Will the world map themes and other music left unimplemented in the original ROM be included at some point?

I plan to play through this, but ideally once it's 100% finished. Just... some random questions I had.

1: A final battle was never created, it was supposed to be alex's job but that's one of the things that never got done. There are no plans for a "boss" so to speak, the ending for A2MT will be parrot boom boom from B-Side you'll get a password from Trials of the Parrot to play B-Side.

2:Yes they all do. The chests along with the parrots are only for completion nothing more, however a lot of them are easter eggs referencing past raocow moments and games. :)

3: That's a tough one to answer, ideally I would like to implement them someday but as of right now no, I'm taking a break XD Music is the hardest thing to mess with especially with a super old game from 2010. The only real thing missing from A2MT is the overworld music. We can't use AddMusicK anymore since we ASM patched in the final level theme so the remainder of the music needs to be patched in. Also remember that a couple levels have weird music oddities with death and goal jingles. I haven't looked to much into music fixes yet. :)

Oh I hope you enjoy it! :D No problem I enjoy answering questions :)

Okay, I made a zip file. It included all music txt files, death sfx, P switch ticking sound, Game over sfx, leek music, stage clear sfx, and bank sample file. Also, I changed some songs into sampled music. Only final level theme is missing.

I appreciate you posting that but unfortunately we can't use that. Ever since we ASM patched in the final level theme the game can't use AddMusicK anymore. It would corrupt it. We have to have someone ASM patch in the overworld themes now :)

[Jongseok]

:o oh no! the game was asm patched, so it cannot use addmusicK. Oh well. Hmm, question: final level music theme cannot be changed into addmusicK ver? or it's too late to do? Do you have "not inserted custom music rom"? Then we can use another addmusic. :)

Right, I could get the txt file for it but it's already inserted I wouldn't wanna try to insert it again with a different means. :) I do have the "before the ASM music patch" copy but i'd rather just insert the rest of the music using ASM that way I don't have to both with over 90 pieces of music being reinserted. Some of the overworld themes are missing the txt file to them. Hey, if you think you can reinsert the overworld themes to the most current version I released go nuts and I'll send you overworld music XD :)

[Jongseok]

@Tobi555 oh really? You can give me overworld music? Of course I want to get overworld music txt files. I want to try it. I have time to reinsert all music and set the music in Lunar Magic. Because AMK supports music name, so it's easier than am4. So pleeaase send base rom and overworld music to me. I want to gain my experience. Ignore this ->(Also, writing something in English is really helpful for my English skills. I live in non-English country.) Your replies are always appreciated.

I don't work with the base rom, I've been working using an old overworld copy from years ago. A2MT will only work with the older version of AddMusic from when A2MT was conceived. AMK will not work with it, which is why we resolved to ASM patching. Of course, I appreciate your enthusiasm :) For anyone that thinks they can add the overworld music to A2MT 1.8 it's posted below:

I downloaded overworld music. It's nice to listen. Would you send "before music ASM patch" rom if you have? To reinsert, i need that file. Thank you for uploading ow music.

I just checked through my files and I guess I don't have it anymore, It must have gotten lost after I made so many versions during development for testing purposes and updates. Oh well it's fine :) Yup, don't want the music lost to time C:

[Jongseok]

Okay then, when ow music inserted, just upload complete version of A2MT. I wish it's version 2.0 not 1.9 haha

If talkhaus makes A3MT, I'll make a level
I wish we'll meet later on A3MT forum or something.

Oh well, my renewal project is failed. Yep, A2MT in now is fine. Wait, I don't have addmusic 4.05 and sample tool. I wonder old addmusic remains from now.

How about a "press select to exit" notice on the treasure screen as it's not particularly self-evident?

Not exactly a priority and probably won't happen. XD The gallery has tons of visual ASM going on I don't particularly feel compelled to try and make more problems by messing with it XD :)

I don't know if that will ever come

Although, perhaps the collabers contributing to JUMP 1/2 might be interested in a new romhack once that collab is done.

Personally I would recommend starting a new slate with a new first of a series, rather than trying to make a direct sequel of this thing.

Gonna have to agree, as much as I like the ASMT series I think the focus should be something different or sticking to the development of the A2XT episodes. :)

Tobi555, I try to insert overworld theme, but I need a final level music, because nothing cover over inserted music. So final level music doesn't come out. Can I get the fianl theme?

[Jongseok]

Okay, I inserted ow music successfully. But one song is missing. a2mtovr6 is missing. Only spc file is here.
music no.20(Final Level theme) is missing too. These two songs wil insert. And then everything is done!

The overworld music I'm using is: a2mtovr1, a2mtovr2, a2mtovr3, a2mtovr5, a2mtovr6, a2mtovrCave, and a2mtovreyes. Ovr6 and and Cave are the songs I said that don't have txt files. Gotta find a way to make them.

^This is the page that the txt file for no.20 can be found at its a2mtlast.zip

[Jongseok]

Thank you.

@Tobi555 Should we change the title theme?
To-do list
- Complete overworld 6(mountain ow) music
- Insert ow music with final lvl theme
- Change title theme

Question: What is Nezumi's Farm music?
Unused theme? whatever..
I wait for overworld 6 theme.

[YelseyKing]

There actually *is* (or at least *was*) a song in the data that I came across while ripping SPCs from the game that I was told was intended for the title screen. As I recall, it was near the end of the existent music data, after a few blank tracks. It's a slow, humorous remix of "The Lullaby".

I don't know if it'll help, but that song (and the Nezumi's Farm theme) are in the SPC set I made, which can be found in this ancient thread. I dunno, if nothing else, it could be used to identify them, since they *were* in the ROM when I dumped the SPCs. *shrug*

Nezumi's Farm is a song meant for the level Nezumi's Farm which isn't inserted. Do you not know how to make txt files out of spc files? We need to do that for Title screen.spc, a2mtovr6.spc, and a2mtovrCave.spc. Didn't you say you inserted most of the OW music already? And you have no.20 final level theme now. In regards to your question, we should change the title theme if you can convert those 3 songs from spc to txt.

I knew they were in the rom but i don't recall nezumi farm's music working when used on a level and I don't know how to change the Title screen music.

[Jongseok]

Ah, I have the title theme, and some music update. DKC2 - Forest Interlude and DKC1 - Fear Factory is now sampled.
welcome music is changed to Nezumi's Farm. Lastly, after main switch palace(original switch palace music) is changed into nekomimi song.
This is terrible, I don't know how to change title music in addmusic4.05. In amk, it's really easy.

The switch palace music was already correct, did you change it? Why is the welcome music Nezumi's Farm, that songs meant for level 124. Also can't you insert final level theme and what overworld music we have that's a txt file right now? :)

[Jongseok]

No, I didn't change. And then overworld music was inserted already. How do I chagne title music? Here is a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jgek4xS7zU

Here is an another test video.

Oh wow! You got it working somehow 0.0 How's the nezumi farm music? :) I have no knowledge of AddMusic so I'll have to ask how to insert title music.
