WARNING! Much patchness ahead!

To top off my Keen 3 patching frenzy

The following is a breakdown of the Mangling Machine patches into various subsections. I hope this will make it easier to understand. Anyway, lets begin!

*****************************************
1.) In general:
*****************************************

Code: Select all

#Level Keen will go to ending if he destroys the MM 
%patch $8DF2 $10 $00

#Keen enters MM level sound [do-do-DO!]
%patch $570F $2C $00

*****************************************
2.) A pleasant chat:
*****************************************

MM's textboxes are different to the ending textboxes; they 'center' themselves via a code at $1124; all they need to be told is their size and the height they should center on. This limits your control over the textboxes, but makes it simpler too.

Code: Select all

#Nearly all level 16 text boxes *center* around this height
%patch $55F4 $14 $00
#Mortimer's two replies box heights
%patch $5634 $12 $00

#Height of first box [in text lines]
%patch $5722 $01 $00
#Width of first box

Is there any way to change the shape of the arms or legs?

%patch $5149 $A9 $00 #Falling left finger
%patch $517C $A8 $00 #Rising left finger
%patch $5131 $A9 $00 #Lifting arm
%patch $5194 $A9 $00 #Falling right finger
%patch $51C7 $A9 $00 #Rising right finger

Isn't $A8 the blue key card?

#The arm will move down until this tile is 2 tiles above its middle
#This is the 'floor'

err... shouldn't that be below if it's the floor?

Ooops! Right on both counts! ^^;

Currently there is no way to change the shape of the arms or legs; however I belive it will be easily possible to delete or move tiles in them, anything in particular you want done?
