MLM Editor

[Hungry Horace]

im in the process of building the Mega Lo Mania editor / Front-End

it's very early days. So far i have it ripping the island blocks, reading the map data and drawing it (rather scrapily)

EDIT: not so scrapily now




like most of my GUIs ill be using the game's original graphics for the visual style.

i f anyone fancies trawling through the MLM binary with a hex editor.

$1429A seems to contain the data about "number of opponents" but i still need to find out what data dictates "colour of land"

i think its probably located between $13E89 and $1409B (after which the island data begins) or just after... $1425C -> 14299

Code Select Expand


0801 020D 0507 0B0E 090C 0306 050A 090D
070E 0F09 080C 0003 0206 0D07 0B0A 0E09
0C01 0403 0206 0D05 070B 0A09 080C 0100
0403 0206 0C00 0D05 070B 0A0E 0F00

however, i havent got logged what colour each island is.... so if anyone fancies helping out by working out the pattern here?  perhaps  just get us a log of all island colours in order.

maybe this will also be of use... i dunno

now a pattern for this... (maybe 1-7 in the order that they feature on the grid above?) has to be found in the data.

i'm resuming work on this i think. The Cannon Fodder update has inspired me.

for a while at least... it would be nice to get a basic God-editor in there.

Long live the yellow people, .

gonna see if i can find a way to make each character selectable on any colour. I was thinking of using a template IFF file a bit like creating WormsDC  landscapes

as such, i'll let you know about sounds!

progress is slow, but i'm getting there.


just working on the God Previewer / Selector, where you chose your 4 Gods atm. nothing too taxing, just easing myself back into the code for now.

Now, that is just sweet.

You know the wav file, do i have to do it in a camp voice, lol, like the original yellow god. Or is a welsh accent ok, hey how about I do it in welsh, .

[Hungry Horace]

do it so you sound like you  welshy

Damn, I was all set for getting into character, but then again "no I dont think so" .

Welshy it is, .
