Mega Man X6 Tweaks (v2.6)

[Guilherme Resende]

What if you make the Ultimate Armor code make the game start with all the Heart tanks, sub tanks and parts of X's armor?

[Guilherme Resende]

I was bothered by one thing, the Sub Tank from Commander Yammark's level. if there was a way to put a platform to go up without parts/armor would you accept to put it on?

Has anyone brought up how Falcon Armor X used to have a diagonal Air Dash?  According to this Rockman X6 trailer?

That explains so much about the final game, it isn't even funny.  Do you know if the code still exists for it?

The quick rundown is: the code for the diagonal animation wasn't removed, and will be activated if vertical movement is added to the dash. The code for the movement itself is nowhere to be found. We were able to recreate it, but it hasn't been implemented yet.

Fascinating! Looking forward to its eventual implementation.

They really tried their best to make this game's final version a pain in the ass, huh.

[Guilherme Resende]

I'm wondering if you can put only Collect Nightmare Souls until the Gate is revealed or defeat the Boss and let if you defeat High Max just put Dynamo in the alternative areas as an option in the patcher.

It will be possible?

Cool!  Also, was the code for it present in the Prototype?  Or had it already been removed even then?

The Patcher is crashing for me when I try to open it.

The Patcher is crashing for me when I try to open it.

Weird. That's for a GUI button that shouldn't even be visible.
Try the compatibility and windows scaling stuff mentioned in the readme.

I'll test more possibme desktop setups next time. What Windows version and screen resolution are you using?

I'm on Windows 10, 1600x900 with custom 105% scaling (my monitor is a bit low quality so I have to do that for text to become clearer).

I did the DPI thing and it still crashed.

[acediez]

It could be due to the custom 105% scaling. You could try switching to 100% just to see if that fixes it.

I'll try to come up with a failsafe for GUI crashes next time I update

[RealLotto]

I'm not sure why. But Shot Eraser part doesn't seem to work when I apply this patch

[ARFJV]

the standlone patch works fine but the patcher dont, the patcher says tahat the rom is invalid but in the patch the hackrom works fine

[Tehppyd]

First of all, I'd like to thank you for your wonderful patcher! It's really awesome!

I'd like to leave a suggestion for a future Tweaks update: to create an option to unlock Ultimate Armor after rescuing all 128 Reploids and having 9999 Nightmare Souls to X (or reaching UH rank, like you did). At least, this would give a reason to rescue the Reploids that don't give any parts in the game.

Thanks a lot!

[Sprite:D]

Is there a way to make it so you can double jump out of a dash as Zero? Not as a feature in the patcher, just to hack it into the game.

[acediez]

Is there a way to make it so you can double jump out of a dash as Zero? Not as a feature in the patcher, just to hack it into the game.

Absolutely doable, but more involved than a single-instruction hack.
Just going by memory, IIRC, the byte that registers "you already did an air move on this jump" is marked the same way regardless if it's a second jump or an air dash.
(You can verify this on the workbook, the byte is identified on the player values table.)

If that's the case, you could rewrite/expand the code so the byte registers differently for each. Something like: +01 jump, +02 dash, and then have the jump check only for the 01 value with and AND operation (instead of checking for a zero/non-zero).

[Archangel22]

Is there anyway that Zero can stay red and not have the black armour once you rank up to UH level? I hate the black armour and prefer his default look

[injoon84]

acediez, please have a look at page 1 Gamesharks. Among them include:
1) UH Zero can be Black/Red when highlighted at Stage Select Screen
2) Maneuver Leg Jets Hover
3) Falcon Longer Air Dash
4) Falcon Upward/Downward Air Dash
5) If Game Over all bosses in rematch are revived (In Last Section of Sigma Level)

I hope those can be converted into your Tweaks Patcher the next time you decide to update it.

[Lumiere]

Black Zero has it's own built in bonuses which is why it's an upgrade. You can always disable the event to unlock Black Zero with the patcher. Some stuff like Air Dashing is tied to multiple characters at once so I don't believe that you can just adjust one of the character's dashes. Some of your other choices proably requires assembly and I believe Acediez needs to rewrite some code concerning something else first?

[injoon84]

acediez, as I mentioned before, I would like to know how to make movement during hover still be able to Air-Dash.
From your Workbook 2.0 (under the Dash sheet), there is this "Don't block Air Dash after moving" at 1042 and 1122.
Therefore, I tried to create Gameshark for that but no success. Can you help me out?

#Hover don't block Air Dash after moving (Note: Not working. What's the problem?)

And I also came up with one experimental Gameshark that will only works with your Tweaks Patcher and not the vanilla. It works probably due to the reallocation of files like retranslation and incomplete armor? However. it has 3 issues.
1) The Giga Attack will not have complete background effect when using X.
2) The Giga Attack Energy only need to reach until the default value to activate it.
3) Giga Attack Menu description is not the Falcon one.
