Is There a Mistake in the Qur'an, 96:15?
- 00:00:00because I feel like every time I hear
- 00:00:01sexualize err in a workshop level like a
- 00:00:04part of me like dies I'm just like Jesus
- 00:00:06well hello everybody welcome to another
- 00:00:08very special episode of the hotline
- 00:00:10Miami 2 level latter tutorial I'm with
- 00:00:13my co-host this is Matt and we also have
- 00:00:17about today it's just sorry in the
- 00:00:21etherion I think it co yeah yeah he's
- 00:00:24going to help us with today's episode of
- 00:00:26notepad edit ink now this is a technique
- 00:00:29that he is discovered through loss of
- 00:00:31trial and error that helps you utilize a
- 00:00:34lot of the assets from the editor or in
- 00:00:36the game in the editor but usually you
- 00:00:38can't yep basically allows you to get
- 00:00:45access to the content in the level
- 00:00:48editor you can't normally get to like
- 00:00:49ranging from enemies to special effects
- 00:00:52to tons and tons of NPCs that aren't
- 00:00:55available in the menu so we're going to
- 00:00:59start out with something easy first if
- 00:01:01you've ever seen a level have those cool
- 00:01:03disco ball effects but you've never been
- 00:01:05able to find in the editor and that's
- 00:01:06because they you to find it through
- 00:01:08notepad so we're going to find an object
- 00:01:09I'm gonna use the elevator chair because
- 00:01:11this is kind of like my favorite thing
- 00:01:16yeah thank people here like oh you can
- 00:01:21have any sort of item uses it like a
- 00:01:24general replacement this or a thing like
- 00:01:25for a while I use the acid bath one item
- 00:01:28at a Rob uses the elevator chair pretty
- 00:01:31much like as long as you can throw it
- 00:01:33down in the editor by default you can
- 00:01:34use it as a like replacement mm-hmm and
- 00:01:39so we are going to first if you have it
- 00:01:43yet downloaded to notepad plus applause
- 00:01:45well put a link in the description it's
- 00:01:47a free program or shareware kind of
- 00:01:51program completely safe don't worry
- 00:01:52about it what it would do to your
- 00:01:55computer everyone in the community uses
- 00:01:58it so if you don't use it you're not
- 00:01:59cool don't want to be cool added and so
- 00:02:06once you have it downloaded you go to
- 00:02:09the levels and your files and you find
- 00:02:13the one that you place and you find
- 00:02:15you're off your object one and what did
- 00:02:20you just you pointed out about the
- 00:02:22floors yes it matters
- 00:02:26Oh like when it comes to the floors it's
- 00:02:29always one level below what do you think
- 00:02:32it is like floor one is labeled as level
- 00:02:35zero floor 2 is labeled as level 1 right
- 00:02:39so since we only put one floor in that
- 00:02:42rumbling it's level zero and you're
- 00:02:45going to [ __ ] once the one that says
- 00:02:46object and if you right-click it you
- 00:02:49once you have a notepad downloaded you
- 00:02:51will be able to click it and open it and
- 00:02:53you look at this mess of numbers and so
- 00:02:56what are these numbers meeting well they
- 00:02:59all go down in a like they all go down
- 00:03:03to repeating the border and they're all
- 00:03:05pretty much mean the same thing going
- 00:03:07straight down there's seven total you to
- 00:03:09keep in track the first is a placeholder
- 00:03:11I've never really figured out what it
- 00:03:13means or what it does but I think that
- 00:03:15seems to cause issues so I'm not going
- 00:03:17to do anything with it the second is the
- 00:03:20x-coordinate there's the y-coordinates
- 00:03:22the fourth is the sprite ID which
- 00:03:25basically shows what the item or enemy
- 00:03:27is going to look like the fifth is the
- 00:03:30direction it's facing from 0 to 360
- 00:03:33degrees the sixth is the object ID which
- 00:03:38dictates what it does and the seventh
- 00:03:40and final is the frame number so like if
- 00:03:42it's an animated item it'll show what
- 00:03:45frame it's on or like if it's an NPC
- 00:03:47that has like different sprites under
- 00:03:49one name and switched with those but
- 00:03:52then it goes back repeating down until
- 00:03:54the order to the end of the document
- 00:03:56right so on our single object placed
- 00:04:01here it's a little bit different maybe
- 00:04:03not different but the first couple of
- 00:04:05lines is dedicated to the player in the
- 00:04:06vehicle being played we'll get to how to
- 00:04:08change those in a bit but you want to
- 00:04:10find the elevator so I know it's 34 by
- 00:04:1464 or hit control s 34 64 and then find
- 00:04:19it this will be highlighted and so the
- 00:04:24two above that are its y and x
- 00:04:25coordinate and you have sprite its
- 00:04:28direction and I rotate it at this time
- 00:04:31so it's at 270 degrees and then it's
- 00:04:34behavior so this behavior is specific
- 00:04:37for that chair so anything with that
- 00:04:40behavior well you won't be able to walk
- 00:04:43through it you'll be able to shoot over
- 00:04:44it and if you like to try to ram your
- 00:04:46character in it it will you'll feel the
- 00:04:48shape of that chair even if you change
- 00:04:51the sprite to something different and
- 00:04:54the last one it doesn't have any frames
- 00:04:57because of the chair so it's at zero
- 00:04:58which is its default and we want to
- 00:05:01replace this with the disco ball sprite
- 00:05:05so how do you find the disco ball
- 00:05:07sprites
- 00:05:07well instead of having to comb through
- 00:05:10the files yup
- 00:05:12Yas has made a beautiful guide for you
- 00:05:14with pretty much all the cool stuff
- 00:05:16he's got three of them the big one is
- 00:05:18adding bosses special effects and unused
- 00:05:21NPCs and it's organized pretty much by
- 00:05:25anything you can change the disco balls
- 00:05:28under other cosmetic items and he has
- 00:05:32the sprite and the object it's always
- 00:05:36sprite first and so now that you found
- 00:05:38that you can replace the first one we
- 00:05:40want to replace it with 2446
- 00:05:44and then find the behavior which is 2026
- 00:05:52and replaced that with 13
- 00:05:5669 inter place yeah so not a comment
- 00:06:01obviously when you first do a notepad
- 00:06:04plus plus I think by sort of advice is
- 00:06:07always make a backup file because you
- 00:06:10know what experience you'll get better
- 00:06:11about understanding and like replacing
- 00:06:13but even now I'll still make mistakes
- 00:06:15and I think when you're just starting
- 00:06:17out make it back up so you don't risk
- 00:06:19messing up your level file right the
- 00:06:22first days of like late spring 26 here
- 00:06:25early spring 2016 I was just breaking
- 00:06:27levels left and right because I'd only
- 00:06:28know what I was doing I was just doing
- 00:06:30that's the wall and seeing what sticks
- 00:06:31yeah I mean and you did a great job
- 00:06:35assembling it together eventually
- 00:06:36abstractions sent us the full list of
- 00:06:38all the items and we'll include that in
- 00:06:40the link I showed you this last episode
- 00:06:42but just as a refresher you just
- 00:06:44right-click the level that you're
- 00:06:46certain is the one you're working with
- 00:06:48copy and paste and it'll be an exact
- 00:06:51copy of the same thing and you can
- 00:06:53change them and they won't affect each
- 00:06:56other
- 00:06:57they're just terms the moon and you
- 00:06:59can't really tell here because the name
- 00:07:02so long but it'll say copy if I hold it
- 00:07:06over so I'm going to delete that real
- 00:07:07quick cuz I don't want a second one and
- 00:07:09make sure you click the Save button here
- 00:07:11it'll be red if there's you have an
- 00:07:13unsaved version in blue once it's done
- 00:07:16then it'll kind of fade out and then you
- 00:07:19want to open Hotline again and make sure
- 00:07:22you didn't have hotline open when you
- 00:07:24make a change right what happens well
- 00:07:27like you can make a change while level
- 00:07:30still open but the thing is if you save
- 00:07:32and editor after you'd like save notepad
- 00:07:34plus plus without closing down a level
- 00:07:36the editor is going to overwrite
- 00:07:38everything that notepad did so you'd
- 00:07:39have to start over
- 00:07:40alright so now we open up that map name
- 00:07:45nomads and you don't you don't want to
- 00:07:47hit play you want hit edit it hit if you
- 00:07:49just hit play you won't see the change
- 00:07:51so edit it and now you have a strange
- 00:07:53little box and like a lot of objects in
- 00:07:56the level editor it looks weird in the
- 00:07:58editing but then we hit we save the
- 00:08:00level that's very important make sure
- 00:08:02you save and then hit ctrl P oh now you
- 00:08:04have a disco ball in your game and you
- 00:08:07can walk under it and you can also move
- 00:08:10it now if you erase it you're going to
- 00:08:12have to do that hope jig all over again
- 00:08:16but if you just hold ctrl and just move
- 00:08:19the object around it's fine so just make
- 00:08:25sure you don't eat right now yeah we're
- 00:08:27going to say that whatever you replace
- 00:08:29it with I say if you use like the
- 00:08:31armored transport that big ol like
- 00:08:33vehicle did you say like the default
- 00:08:37outline of that sprite still remains
- 00:08:39when you're like bugging it like it
- 00:08:41doesn't adapt to whatever sprite you're
- 00:08:43using so like the train by default
- 00:08:46doesn't block any bullets or anything
- 00:08:47but using the armored transport or the
- 00:08:51Winnebagos object ID results in it like
- 00:08:54staying still and blocking bullets and
- 00:08:56like even though it's massive its
- 00:08:58outline remains consistently around the
- 00:09:00Train okay I think I know what they were
- 00:09:05lighting nested at least yeah yeah I've
- 00:09:07had a couple that are weird I'll do this
- 00:09:11at Alex's mmhmm yeah I know I I recently
- 00:09:16replaced a water cooler with a spaceship
- 00:09:18and with mods and it doesn't want to see
- 00:09:22where that goes yeah it doesn't pay it's
- 00:09:24awesome yeah he know he's not sabotaging
- 00:09:27the Challenger too small the spaceship
- 00:09:33it's a model anyways okay so that's the
- 00:09:36basic gist of it but there's a lot more
- 00:09:38you can do with notepad so first of all
- 00:09:41I want to show you the master list and
- 00:09:44you can find the download on the AUSA's
- 00:09:47guides and I think I'll just try so it's
- 00:09:50objects and sprites objects is pretty
- 00:09:53much every object with a behavior kind
- 00:09:57of sprite
- 00:09:58and here pretty much pretty much
- 00:10:01anything you find you'll have to control
- 00:10:02s to find exactly what you want because
- 00:10:05it's very you know technical speak
- 00:10:07jargon to find it and this number will
- 00:10:11be the sprite and this is its behavior
- 00:10:15object ID it's kind of backwards and
- 00:10:18this throws me off a lot but remember
- 00:10:20sprite object not the other way around
- 00:10:22and then sprite this actually has more
- 00:10:24items and this is for things that don't
- 00:10:27have behaviors like faces but important
- 00:10:30to know that what realistic aren't
- 00:10:31mutually exclusive
- 00:10:32they have sometimes a different content
- 00:10:34like there's some sprites that are
- 00:10:36repurposed for different enemies or
- 00:10:38objects and like there's some sprites
- 00:10:41don't have an associated object ID with
- 00:10:43them yeah so if you can't find in
- 00:10:47objects but you're certain it exists
- 00:10:49just find it in sprite and control lens
- 00:10:53is your friend 4,000 of them yeah it's
- 00:10:56ridiculous but yeah and basically people
- 00:11:01have found stuff that we haven't known
- 00:11:03about existing just by going through it
- 00:11:06because obviously you know you're off
- 00:11:08this one man he can't discover
- 00:11:10everything you know I can try but I
- 00:11:14won't succeed yeah yeah that isn't cool
- 00:11:16they're like you have people yes yeah
- 00:11:19people are just like hey by the way
- 00:11:20you're like okay cool like I can update
- 00:11:21that in the guide so the community is
- 00:11:25really helpful when it comes to this
- 00:11:26they love digging through the files and
- 00:11:28figuring out like hey I tested this out
- 00:11:30and I think this could work so if you
- 00:11:32want to add to the guide it's really
- 00:11:34cool because like it shows people really
- 00:11:36into it but like they want to have the
- 00:11:37editor to its fullest potential oh yeah
- 00:11:40it even like small stuff cuz I think I
- 00:11:43was asking you at one point like did you
- 00:11:44you know where to find my characters
- 00:11:46burn card or tourist car here's like oh
- 00:11:48not really but I guess you founded and
- 00:11:50yeah you added that I think to one of
- 00:11:53the most recent updates I could like it
- 00:11:56uses the like it has no object ID of its
- 00:11:58own but if you slap it along with the
- 00:12:00acid bath it does the animations as it
- 00:12:02would normally write in the day before
- 00:12:05that specific behavior tells it to
- 00:12:07change frames X
- 00:12:08X amount of seconds yeah on continued
- 00:12:12okay so yeah then now next I want to get
- 00:12:16into finding faces that are not
- 00:12:18available
- 00:12:19we're going to go with Dennis's face
- 00:12:22everyone loves dinner Sweden right so I
- 00:12:26know the pig
- 00:12:27I should have my mods on all right well
- 00:12:30I know the pig Xango one please ignore
- 00:12:33the main 500 or something that please
- 00:12:35ignore the cowboy safe and use ik I'm
- 00:12:41Dennis yeah hey we're gonna see the gun
- 00:12:47drops and be like how do we get the
- 00:12:48scarves it's I'll install a [ __ ] taking
- 00:12:52my mods off so we're going to exit out
- 00:12:56of the editor you can still be in the
- 00:12:58main menu I don't know if this is what
- 00:13:02you want to do I don't I usually just
- 00:13:04close completely out of the game but you
- 00:13:05can stay in the main menu just as long
- 00:13:07as you're close to the editor and you
- 00:13:09can edit this now we'll find our file
- 00:13:12again and now it has some extra some
- 00:13:16extra files here and one of those is CSS
- 00:13:21which is essentially cutscenes so we
- 00:13:24want to find that one and edit with the
- 00:13:27notepad and uh like the cutscene faces
- 00:13:32are found in dot CSS and the NPCs and
- 00:13:36your cutscenes are found in NPC what's
- 00:13:40item is that just like the water cash I
- 00:13:44think what like this is the stuff you
- 00:13:46pick up I don't really use that yeah
- 00:13:49that one's I mean you're very rarely
- 00:13:51going to use that one but this not only
- 00:13:53does it show you that see how it says
- 00:13:57player here am I please tell me I'm
- 00:13:58recording
- 00:13:59good all right see how it says player
- 00:14:01here that is because it plays any other
- 00:14:03NPCs down but that's the so line 14 here
- 00:14:09is the first focus and so say place
- 00:14:12another NPC down if I typed the exact
- 00:14:14case-sensitive name here it would change
- 00:14:18the focus to that you can also change
- 00:14:20the dialogue so I forgot to put an
- 00:14:22apostrophe here now I can put that there
- 00:14:24and then here the 16:05 is the big
- 00:14:27psycho face and I can change that to 36
- 00:14:3446 or 48 think it's actually 8 and I
- 00:14:39just wrote it really poorly let's check
- 00:14:42you mentioned uh the under case font oh
- 00:14:46yeah I think snowfall yeah like you can
- 00:14:50if you really want to you can make it to
- 00:14:52that dialogues in lower case there
- 00:14:54notepad plus plus and the editor will
- 00:14:56change it accordingly yeah I remember
- 00:14:59thinking about that I was playing I was
- 00:15:01like did Lego McCrea Lee like edit every
- 00:15:04single dialogue strip and make it like
- 00:15:06that if he had to is really did
- 00:15:09something need to go good work ethic
- 00:15:10when it comes to the subtle details in
- 00:15:13the campaign's third point I think with
- 00:15:16that it's definitely a good not
- 00:15:18signature but you know he said if you
- 00:15:21solve it but I wished to like in a way
- 00:15:23you can have like different fonts like I
- 00:15:25mean you go for Russian and just put
- 00:15:28percent marks but um you can't change
- 00:15:31the font I've seen someone do it with
- 00:15:33Comic Sans but that's going to require
- 00:15:36modding than just like going through no
- 00:15:38bed yeah if you just opted to you can
- 00:15:44either have the default or Comic Sans
- 00:15:45and people just like I think I'm good
- 00:15:47yeah let's keep the default but now I'm
- 00:15:50going to open up the notepad level make
- 00:15:52sure to save it before I do anything
- 00:15:56please anyone tried to like add foreign
- 00:15:59languages like Spanish characters all
- 00:16:01like into the dialogue because I've
- 00:16:04never tried that before curious about
- 00:16:06how that would work
- 00:16:07oh my the characters themselves when
- 00:16:08like ah yeah like the
- 00:16:12the and yeah sort of things well like
- 00:16:15there's a Spanish version but you like
- 00:16:17say you have the English version on then
- 00:16:21they might be percentages but like
- 00:16:24there's if you go into the settings and
- 00:16:26change Spanish like those letters would
- 00:16:27you come up and so now we see my grammar
- 00:16:31correction has been fixed you can at my
- 00:16:33lower case and a fully working dentist
- 00:16:35face sprite is there and you wouldn't be
- 00:16:37able to get him to the regular editor
- 00:16:40yeah that's how you alter that you can
- 00:16:43also change things like songs like says
- 00:16:45they play song at this if you type in
- 00:16:48the exact correct name in the CSV file
- 00:16:52if you change it that'll work I think
- 00:16:55you have it here yeah it has to be like
- 00:16:58a song that's actually in the game that
- 00:17:00are in available like you can't play
- 00:17:03particular in lines and it just knows
- 00:17:04what to do you could take a song that
- 00:17:07was in the levels or like a song that
- 00:17:10isn't in the edge or normally yeah I
- 00:17:13remember yeah you like posted that out
- 00:17:15for ourselves like holy [ __ ] if we find
- 00:17:17a workaround against music mods but like
- 00:17:19founder mine sadly it's a nose thing but
- 00:17:22like it's kind of useful yeah yeah like
- 00:17:26Videodrome I wish that saleable that by
- 00:17:27default but the only way I do that is
- 00:17:29with the notepad plus plus music modding
- 00:17:31yes this is just another clear music
- 00:17:34yeah oh yeah finished music with a
- 00:17:37ominous tone little clear we could give
- 00:17:40that as an example I have to turn on my
- 00:17:43music and then with a score music is it
- 00:17:47just for or was that under dust
- 00:17:49I think it's dust oh yeah what the [ __ ]
- 00:17:53yeah it's just it's like the whatever
- 00:17:54the ax the file name is that they've
- 00:17:57used like you know how you can made a
- 00:17:58music module for it'll be that exact
- 00:18:01thing so like instead of untitled for
- 00:18:04the main menu song it gets beams and
- 00:18:09then there's another way to change the
- 00:18:10music by default that you just figured
- 00:18:12out right
- 00:18:14uh you mean light with no pad yeah
- 00:18:18through the h-pipe excuse me the HLM
- 00:18:23file which is yeah the hmm file there's
- 00:18:27like a line that decides what music we
- 00:18:29played it should list like like dot i
- 00:18:35think it's stored or dot mp3 for that so
- 00:18:37it's like beams is the title screen
- 00:18:40theme and dust is the score thing you
- 00:18:47yeah there's a guide someplace but the
- 00:18:50biggest reason to use the hmm is one it
- 00:18:54can you can open it up real fast to tell
- 00:18:56like which level this is so when you see
- 00:18:59this huge jumble of crap and like you've
- 00:19:03made a couple of long you're not sure
- 00:19:04which is which just click pop open the
- 00:19:06HLM file and the very first thing will
- 00:19:09tell you
- 00:19:09also you can exceed the character limit
- 00:19:14by a good deal um I'll just say with the
- 00:19:19company what level it is because if you
- 00:19:22don't have the level bottom what
- 00:19:25Barbara's I think worsened with if you
- 00:19:26look at the cover of the screen PNG file
- 00:19:30is usually like their first like
- 00:19:32cutscene or just the base of the first
- 00:19:35floor of that level too you can rename
- 00:19:37level folders but like you do it with
- 00:19:40every level you make yeah and then also
- 00:19:46when you're you can extend the title and
- 00:19:49change it through you also can do this
- 00:19:51with a state which is the only one that
- 00:19:54you really need to worry about the only
- 00:19:55one that shows up you can also change
- 00:19:57the S rank score but an important thing
- 00:20:00is if you want to have like an extra
- 00:20:03long top title it doesn't compensate it
- 00:20:07for you automatically it'll just run off
- 00:20:09the page so you'll want to do a hash tag
- 00:20:10and that will cause like a return so I'm
- 00:20:16doing Miami hash tittle Florida it'll
- 00:20:21overlap alright are you talking about
- 00:20:23the like where the level is located or
- 00:20:26talking about the name of the level
- 00:20:28the name of the level like you know you
- 00:20:33know like when it loads the it loads and
- 00:20:35it shows like the name of Death Wish so
- 00:20:39you can see how but the title is links
- 00:20:41and a whole bunch already might click
- 00:20:45Edit the Miami Florida like it kind of
- 00:20:48glitches because it's not meant to be
- 00:20:49like that but once we like to play it in
- 00:20:51a campaign the Miami indent Florida
- 00:20:53would look really good so you can get a
- 00:20:56bit that's how you like add more into
- 00:20:58state because annoyingly city address
- 00:21:00our minutes demo here none of those work
- 00:21:03I don't know why I would yeah like
- 00:21:06people who like I think with Danny with
- 00:21:11Miami falls without your partner just at
- 00:21:14Albany but I was I would do like Miami
- 00:21:16comma and then just FL like a previous
- 00:21:19state so I think that would look kind of
- 00:21:21cool too yeah do we mention background
- 00:21:24modding at all because like the minor
- 00:21:26point but I think it's still worth
- 00:21:27mentioning because it's in the HLM file
- 00:21:29yeah 112 its line 14 in the HLM file
- 00:21:36it's like there are certain values you
- 00:21:38can change it to to give it a special
- 00:21:40background that isn't available normally
- 00:21:42like the all-black and the pic
- 00:21:45backgrounds or like the special like
- 00:21:48dark blue background now that was for a
- 00:21:51game over screen that never gotten to
- 00:21:53the final game didn't um don't let go
- 00:21:56Mac usually dark waiting for [ __ ] mean
- 00:21:59what forever
- 00:22:00I think and I think I think students
- 00:22:04rocks used it for detective the push it
- 00:22:06remaking it it's not cool for the [ __ ] a
- 00:22:10good little time well blue yes I mean
- 00:22:16all of these is the same concept you're
- 00:22:17replacing some numbers with different
- 00:22:19numbers let's let's find it cool well
- 00:22:22let's do the light orange background yes
- 00:22:25completely
- 00:22:26go to third just remember that it only
- 00:22:30works for single levels campaigns
- 00:22:32backgrounds don't carry over right you
- 00:22:36ever seen I'm Colette that doesn't save
- 00:22:37us
- 00:22:38yeah like the brightness Soekarno it's
- 00:22:40like sunlight or sunset but I think I
- 00:22:43saw one insertion look like the guy that
- 00:22:47you like a layer that brightness one
- 00:22:49word it's like really maybe like
- 00:22:52saturated or something yeah nothing it's
- 00:22:55a pleasure to play through oh my god I
- 00:22:58burn your eyes completely throughout the
- 00:23:02Beach Road that's just zero he
- 00:23:05irradiated Beach okay you're on the Sun
- 00:23:11alone ten plays on this planet realize
- 00:23:13you had some mountains in that's crazy
- 00:23:16what Thunder booms now you guys watching
- 00:23:21the broadcast
- 00:23:23I gotta end because food yeah I forgot
- 00:23:26to do that
- 00:23:27come on interesting here we are we want
- 00:23:33Farooq or here yeah microRNA okay just
- 00:23:39really unstructured it it's oh yeah
- 00:23:41there's even a Sun here and a bigger Sun
- 00:23:42here why are there two suns
- 00:23:44so welcome no this wasn't meant whoa
- 00:23:47whoa why is it cut off the end there
- 00:23:49yeah I was like what the [ __ ] is we
- 00:23:52gonna do another really [ __ ] [ __ ] with
- 00:23:55me we're going to look huge but like
- 00:23:57there's that tiny part again where's ago
- 00:23:59I guess it stops it feels like I just
- 00:24:01set a giant object down it's crazy
- 00:24:06uh-huh it's like messing with me because
- 00:24:08you seem like it's worth like the level
- 00:24:10transitions within rob like walks across
- 00:24:12the screen it like stops it's like it
- 00:24:15rising like final cut peppers like a
- 00:24:17movie said like nope it's something else
- 00:24:21that's funny
- 00:24:22so Oh usually does that I've never maybe
- 00:24:26a cut off when you reach level borders
- 00:24:29yeah I think that's probably what it is
- 00:24:32so you might want to set your soldier
- 00:24:34camp but yeah let's do that instead
- 00:24:36so soldier cam works by restricting the
- 00:24:40camera to where the level borders are
- 00:24:42and this helps you make levels where you
- 00:24:45can't see the void and it kind of helps
- 00:24:48with the tone like you'll have like easy
- 00:24:50if you want to
- 00:24:50outdoor areas and streets around your
- 00:24:52house there's a couple good levels that
- 00:24:55should do this really well hunter
- 00:24:57Stoffel I think yeah and Berlin blitz
- 00:25:02yeah give that insert and I was going to
- 00:25:05say to what previous yeah first we're
- 00:25:08talking about how in the default
- 00:25:11backgrounds that you're given in the
- 00:25:13editor when you're making a campaign the
- 00:25:16ones like the right are the brown ones
- 00:25:18with the thunder unfortunately when
- 00:25:20you're setting up your campaign the
- 00:25:24background will revert to the standard
- 00:25:26cyan default and with the Celtic camera
- 00:25:30what's nice about this is that you could
- 00:25:31have a level such as a building and
- 00:25:33there's a black tile I think it's in
- 00:25:37like the top left of the first own
- 00:25:39before tab and essentially what I'll do
- 00:25:42is I you can kind of outline the
- 00:25:44parameter space of your levels so like
- 00:25:47none of this Diane background is showing
- 00:25:49and yeah coming off and kind of if I'm
- 00:25:53rambling but then actually I'll just
- 00:25:55take I just have that boom but uh one
- 00:26:03other thing is that don't layer in the
- 00:26:05interview don't try to change a custom
- 00:26:07background to a regular background
- 00:26:08because games gonna crash it doesn't
- 00:26:10know what to pull up okay most
- 00:26:13interesting I could like they in program
- 00:26:16and listening for words okay so young
- 00:26:21yeah I've never met an egg would think
- 00:26:22they don't make single oh yeah I know
- 00:26:25was obviously like Roger said was the
- 00:26:29soldier camera it replaces the level
- 00:26:31borders typically I won't place the
- 00:26:34level borders on first I'll put down an
- 00:26:37object and if you go into the special
- 00:26:39effects tab you'll simply just change
- 00:26:41the IDS of that object and essentially
- 00:26:43just activates the soldier camera and
- 00:26:45some then I'll take the parts you start
- 00:26:49with the first floor and basically just
- 00:26:53outline how it is you sort of get a feel
- 00:26:55for where the camera cuts off just
- 00:27:00related to where
- 00:27:01your boards are placed and correct me if
- 00:27:04I'm wrong but I think the boards
- 00:27:06themself that yes sets has to match up
- 00:27:09with other additional fours that you
- 00:27:12address right if you try to move it yeah
- 00:27:14that's right all right and I found that
- 00:27:16at the heart it's one reporter all the
- 00:27:18way through so you have like a real
- 00:27:21small room and the next Gloria the big
- 00:27:23room they have to be the same students
- 00:27:25you have to keep that in mind now I'm
- 00:27:27going to replace this right now with the
- 00:27:30code for soldier cam which is negative 1
- 00:27:33for the sprite because it's an effect
- 00:27:35all the effects pretty much have
- 00:27:37negative 1 because like it's not an
- 00:27:39actual tangible object and then they
- 00:27:41hate that it's going to be is 1802 1182
- 00:27:50there we go
- 00:27:54what's going on with the soldier camera
- 00:27:562 with additional floors I'll basically
- 00:27:59often serve those those also tell other
- 00:28:01people that obviously when you're making
- 00:28:03those additional floors it's kind of
- 00:28:05nice because you do have a guideline
- 00:28:07because the level borders have like that
- 00:28:10preview of where it's located that and
- 00:28:13essentially you have to build your
- 00:28:17additional floors within that area that
- 00:28:20it's showing and obviously like the
- 00:28:22larger it is the easier but um just keep
- 00:28:25that in mind that that space that area
- 00:28:27that you're setting from the very first
- 00:28:29floor of your level has to remain the
- 00:28:31same throughout the additional ones as
- 00:28:32well so now you can see the camera is
- 00:28:34kind of locked in since they made it too
- 00:28:36small the camera spare you barely moving
- 00:28:38also this background is very strange
- 00:28:43because I I don't think it was like
- 00:28:46technically not a background but like
- 00:28:4840s who makes really kind of work yeah I
- 00:28:50think if we had done it differently I
- 00:28:52was going to
- 00:28:53example but that it's pretty simple also
- 00:28:57I would not suggest placing a ton of
- 00:28:59stuff outside your borders so yeah tell
- 00:29:02me all good we Fergus yes keep it within
- 00:29:06this box otherwise it's gonna crash yeah
- 00:29:09let go that's really crash the adder
- 00:29:11itches as a tendency to slow things down
- 00:29:14mainly through my experience on
- 00:29:17fullscreen it like cause noise visual
- 00:29:19issues but like my drop it down so like
- 00:29:21window mode and like lower the
- 00:29:24resolution slightly it's no issue I
- 00:29:26don't know I think it's just like I
- 00:29:28think it is very intensive on resources
- 00:29:31compared to the usual one I think when
- 00:29:36when you made up status it was so
- 00:29:38[ __ ] funny because you're just like
- 00:29:39all your model [ __ ] that are
- 00:29:41complaining about the soldier camera and
- 00:29:43I was dying laughing because you're just
- 00:29:44like you get to hug this you were
- 00:29:46probably people kind of like chatted you
- 00:29:48yeah well I liked it
- 00:29:50kids look every level I played like
- 00:29:53there were all these like visual issues
- 00:29:56and it was breaking I was just like just
- 00:29:58so furious about it it just liked it I
- 00:30:01mean now I know like you can work around
- 00:30:04all the visual issues that create it to
- 00:30:06that like people spam all sorts of stuff
- 00:30:09outside the borders your level it's like
- 00:30:10you're telling the game to load stuff
- 00:30:12we're told it also to not load stuff
- 00:30:15exactly right so I just increases the
- 00:30:20level borders and now I can move a bit
- 00:30:22further but not as further not as much
- 00:30:25as like if I didn't set level borders
- 00:30:30and then let's you want do the math left
- 00:30:35they're the most fun part of the notepad
- 00:30:39plus plus we got two parts to it the
- 00:30:43trigger and the item itself
- 00:30:45forget the size of the room it's five by
- 00:30:49five right three bytes or five by five I
- 00:30:52think
- 00:30:53are you watching I like you know that
- 00:30:55put the trigger in the top-left corner I
- 00:30:58think um it's been a while since I've
- 00:31:04done a meth lab but that's not so
- 00:31:06[ __ ] weird um but is it basically
- 00:31:09where you are simply just trying to line
- 00:31:12up the trick like we'll get into it when
- 00:31:14we talk about the barrier itself because
- 00:31:16you have the methods right and then the
- 00:31:19explosion barrier that's literally the
- 00:31:23size of the room itself like you can't
- 00:31:25make something smaller it has to be 5x5
- 00:31:27unfortunately but is it kind of trial
- 00:31:30and error when you're lining up the
- 00:31:31explosion barrier with the wrong Oh Deb
- 00:31:33University says it's a perfect square
- 00:31:36unless you modify like the smoke effect
- 00:31:39so you need to be sure that everything
- 00:31:42lines up like the doors then like you'll
- 00:31:45necessarily have all the doors in the
- 00:31:46same places but need to make sure that
- 00:31:48the blast doesn't go beyond the area you
- 00:31:50want it to also the so the trigger I
- 00:31:57think you're supposed to set it right in
- 00:31:59the middle and that's that'll be like
- 00:32:01the actual meth lab the explosion is
- 00:32:04always like to the lower right hand
- 00:32:07corner so I like to do the lowest top
- 00:32:10left yeah hopefully let's put it to the
- 00:32:12test and figure it out when I'm certain
- 00:32:15it it goes off yeah when I place it in
- 00:32:18the center it's in the top or it's in
- 00:32:20the bottom corner here for me that's so
- 00:32:23I always place that thing
- 00:32:24oh here I'd be just depend on the way
- 00:32:27the direction of it right it could be
- 00:32:30like if you rotate it that's probably
- 00:32:35good then
- 00:32:37the fun thing about that item is that
- 00:32:40you can replace it sprite with anything
- 00:32:43and it will still blow up as long as you
- 00:32:45shoot it so you can surprise players in
- 00:32:48all sorts plays yeah yeah where you
- 00:32:50could have a full Aryan level and then
- 00:32:52there's a whole entire level with meth
- 00:32:55labs and scare the [ __ ] out of people
- 00:32:58that's really clever right if anyone
- 00:33:00knows anything
- 00:33:01oh is it that illusory level that just
- 00:33:03randomly expedia I didn't finish aw I
- 00:33:06know what I was doing you can place down
- 00:33:10the lab and lay it you can break it and
- 00:33:11stuff as if you don't have like the
- 00:33:13explosion part down it won't blow up
- 00:33:14it'll just shatter yeah so now that we
- 00:33:19have found a logic said I've got I've
- 00:33:26got everything turned off so the cogs
- 00:33:29I'm I better like [ __ ] my pants
- 00:33:30yeah let's see here should be like a
- 00:33:35good part of math like if you like
- 00:33:37there's a hostage and if you
- 00:33:38accidentally shoot them like the entire
- 00:33:40floor just blows up bang
- 00:33:43Kobe will splosions everywhere I have
- 00:33:45the explosive ladies of huh feeding our
- 00:33:50dope won't be all right okay someone
- 00:33:53made a part of dogs mods but I can't
- 00:33:55find any once the links broken our other
- 00:33:59dog yeah sorry I'm trying to focus on
- 00:34:04these numbers nah it's cool
- 00:34:09okay I think I said it right oh I don't
- 00:34:13know there's like the dot V er file in
- 00:34:16every level folder but I have no idea
- 00:34:18what it is or what it's supposed to do I
- 00:34:20assumed it may not be here
- 00:34:22I can't even or something so I think I
- 00:34:26got them swapped because that's life is
- 00:34:28here so let's put that in the center and
- 00:34:31let's spawn ourselves shotgun did you
- 00:34:36put them like different ones in
- 00:34:39different places or futures okay yes all
- 00:34:45those children so that's in the wrong
- 00:34:49spot for me but so basically it's now
- 00:34:53just a game a lot playing trauma yeah
- 00:34:57try on there yep I think that I think it
- 00:34:59is the top-left corner then but as you
- 00:35:03can tell like the doors blew up and
- 00:35:04there was that big explosion that
- 00:35:06covered up a 5x5 area it's banana me in
- 00:35:08there and it blows up enemies and they
- 00:35:12use mafia sprites when they died but
- 00:35:14yeah cuz it doesn't know sometimes the
- 00:35:17Colombians won't be killed
- 00:35:18oh yeah and if the player gets killed by
- 00:35:23it they use the Jake's right yeah I was
- 00:35:25also having arson oh yeah so like I'll
- 00:35:29just like make a patch rod replacing
- 00:35:31Jake's right sheet but it's only his
- 00:35:32burn sprite that I swapped
- 00:35:35that's more I think a good about Saigon
- 00:35:40I remember for requiem for when the
- 00:35:43levels are in the meth lab and I
- 00:35:45basically had a trigger that I [ __ ] up
- 00:35:48and then another one that I got
- 00:35:49perfectly and basically I think I was
- 00:35:53trying to move the one that I messed up
- 00:35:54to like a lower part of the map almost
- 00:35:56to like mask it or just like so the
- 00:35:59player can see it and I think I chatted
- 00:36:01Yossarian and you said that if you
- 00:36:04simply like reverse said and switch the
- 00:36:07trigger back to an object you can just
- 00:36:09delete the object as if it was any other
- 00:36:11and it would just delete that completely
- 00:36:13so I thought that was really helpful in
- 00:36:14the clever almost yeah just like if it's
- 00:36:17in a bad spot you don't know how to move
- 00:36:19it without like messing with the
- 00:36:21coordinates just change it sprite into
- 00:36:23anything else and then delete it and if
- 00:36:26you save it that way that you can just
- 00:36:27add a new one start fresh yes you don't
- 00:36:30like to leave your whole floor or
- 00:36:31something there's like oh well back to
- 00:36:33square one you can let some easy folks
- 00:36:49I think to with like the meth labs like
- 00:36:52reading on the guy that kind of sounds
- 00:36:54confusing but I think anything in the
- 00:36:55editor like once you actually do it it's
- 00:36:57just like oh okay there literally is
- 00:36:59like a border for the explosion that's
- 00:37:02like so yeah I got second one lined up
- 00:37:07in the first one I started I meant to
- 00:37:09delete this trigger but I guess I didn't
- 00:37:11get it so what you would want to do is
- 00:37:13find the trigger sprite with in the
- 00:37:18notepad and change it to something else
- 00:37:21as they were saying and then you can
- 00:37:23delete it as I put the site when I put
- 00:37:25in the corner and I came real close so
- 00:37:27now I would suggest changing it again
- 00:37:30and just kind of moving it just just
- 00:37:34trying to line it up perfectly because
- 00:37:36it's kind of like either like this it
- 00:37:38kind of looks a bit amateurish but
- 00:37:40that's the meth lab and I would debate
- 00:37:44like when you blow the meth lab it
- 00:37:46pretty much tails everyone on that floor
- 00:37:48to go after you so make sure you're
- 00:37:50designing floors that doesn't make it a
- 00:37:53living nightmare
- 00:37:55yeah um don't do it with drawl and just
- 00:37:58put in the middle like I highly
- 00:37:59recommend putting in the corner of your
- 00:38:00mouth and you could even like because
- 00:38:04people say like okay there's four
- 00:38:05different points that the doors like are
- 00:38:09in the middle this is a five by five but
- 00:38:11you almost could do like the bottom left
- 00:38:14corner could be two windows on the left
- 00:38:16and bottom and then like this above and
- 00:38:20right side could just be doors so it's
- 00:38:22almost like imagine that in a corner of
- 00:38:25like a building or something instead of
- 00:38:27like straight in the middle that you
- 00:38:28just have the doors yeah that's the
- 00:38:31other thing is to use them sparingly
- 00:38:32because they could be excellence to
- 00:38:34levels but like but knowing every floor
- 00:38:36there's beyond count a distance yeah I
- 00:38:38would only hold per campaign
- 00:38:41definitely well that's what - I think I
- 00:38:44was fighting to get certain bubbles when
- 00:38:46you said that perfectly but basically
- 00:38:49downside with meth labs is that they
- 00:38:52mute the level music entirely and I
- 00:38:56think Rob you show me this even after
- 00:38:58like playing for like a year that simply
- 00:39:01if you trigger the method when you die
- 00:39:03or something if you simply don't hit
- 00:39:05restart the music will come back alright
- 00:39:11yeah yeah if you just like wait for the
- 00:39:13entire noise go through its course like
- 00:39:16obviously you have to hold that instinct
- 00:39:18hit are instantly I've gotten pretty
- 00:39:21good at this point but like yeah like
- 00:39:23that's the best way because the only
- 00:39:24other way is to if you hit restart the
- 00:39:27only way to get the music back is to
- 00:39:29blow it up again and survive the entire
- 00:39:32noise or don't hit are it's just as the
- 00:39:36editor wasn't made to handle it so then
- 00:39:39think the program that to fix it so it's
- 00:39:44just something you have to live with
- 00:39:44it's not the worst thing ever but it's
- 00:39:46pretty annoying if you just don't hit
- 00:39:48hard
- 00:39:48you don't give a law yourself up after
- 00:39:52the levels finished than the end levels
- 00:39:55theme video trouble play when you replay
- 00:39:57that floor with enemies and all
- 00:40:02completion it wasn't made to a door so I
- 00:40:05didn't factor all these other things in
- 00:40:07a noise that loud like something that it
- 00:40:09was like oh [ __ ] no I'm just like shuts
- 00:40:11down one day it'll stop putting up with
- 00:40:15us feel like you guys are blowing me up
- 00:40:19so much [ __ ] done alright I just
- 00:40:22created how to put our Facebook logo
- 00:40:27love them so I just created a cutscene
- 00:40:30with a music
- 00:40:33like with an ad new music so you see it
- 00:40:36shows the actual song detection so we
- 00:40:39want to change it to be which is the
- 00:40:41opening credits their opening like title
- 00:40:43screen phone that's capital B EAMS or we
- 00:40:46can go Videodrome which Videodrome like
- 00:40:52that save it and now you'll have the
- 00:40:55level clear music which we talked about
- 00:40:58earlier was possible to get it or found
- 00:41:00with notepad because I've seen a couple
- 00:41:02people who didn't really know understand
- 00:41:03notepad though I try to substitute that
- 00:41:06because like they can't get the say you
- 00:41:10have a whole combat level end with the
- 00:41:13cutscene and you can't get it to play
- 00:41:16the music like the level play music and
- 00:41:18this is the best way to do it just kind
- 00:41:20of play different you swap it back
- 00:41:22you see that in percentage like at the
- 00:41:25very first bank heist level and you pick
- 00:41:27up the object I'm the money like it
- 00:41:30won't let you get that like video level
- 00:41:34clear so this was the backup that I had
- 00:41:38to go
- 00:41:40so now that we've saved it in the govern
- 00:41:43to editor
- 00:41:45and I open this back up into the
- 00:41:47cutscene you'll see that it says play
- 00:41:49video drum so it kind of already is in
- 00:41:52the game you just have to take a
- 00:41:53backdoor way to get it sorry I want one
- 00:41:56thing I think I thought was hilarious is
- 00:41:58the demo thing that we made last episode
- 00:42:01because it had a cover it got all the
- 00:42:04way to the front page yeah you're just
- 00:42:07hover why like I literally told them
- 00:42:10that it's trash yeah but it's because it
- 00:42:14had a cover that's all it matters yeah
- 00:42:16seriously so you guys want your level
- 00:42:18singing attention will literally just
- 00:42:19put a cover
- 00:42:22yeah they love a stable and they work
- 00:42:24best right so let's show them how to
- 00:42:27change it to one of their victors so
- 00:42:29basically in the object file the first
- 00:42:32couple is your player and your players
- 00:42:36vehicle and Joss's guides tell us how
- 00:42:39they work I don't think it's this guide
- 00:42:41though yeah that's uh the special
- 00:42:44vehicles and players guide like lines
- 00:42:46four and six in any level 0 obj file
- 00:42:51dictates what your player character is
- 00:42:53and then lines 11 to 13 dictate what
- 00:42:56your default vehicle is so you can mix
- 00:43:00and match that for the most part they're
- 00:43:02a couple vehicle that only work with
- 00:43:03certain characters but the most part the
- 00:43:06pretty staple otherwise is on all of
- 00:43:09that bikers yeah like one of those word
- 00:43:16yeah it doesn't work with anyone else
- 00:43:18but like that's it's pretty good because
- 00:43:20then like you can swap with like an
- 00:43:22inconspicuous cropped I just somewhere
- 00:43:24near level and you don't worry about the
- 00:43:26vehicle on the first floor a good point
- 00:43:33so we want prisoner Richard so we'll
- 00:43:35change hammers two-three-six-six and his
- 00:43:41object is 2104 but there are a few like
- 00:43:48really unique layer characters and stuff
- 00:43:51and there's some there's like variants
- 00:43:53often characters already in the editor
- 00:43:55and change the car so it was 11 and 13
- 00:44:04right well I'm jigna for vehicles
- 00:44:11so let's hat let's change it to the
- 00:44:14Mafia get away
- 00:44:22is the Amalfi to get away his own death
- 00:44:25which not just English bank heist 101
- 00:44:33love money or at least the intro of it I
- 00:44:38don't think he actually goes back to the
- 00:44:39car
- 00:44:40yeah true okay so we have that safe you
- 00:44:44can still go back to what it works just
- 00:44:45that like in the story mode doesn't you
- 00:44:47don't ever get a chance to right right
- 00:44:49but you enter it at the end in that
- 00:44:51game's intro when you take the shots
- 00:44:52with your buddies anyways alright and
- 00:44:56then it's after this would show them how
- 00:44:59to wall mod because I mean it's still
- 00:45:02the same concept that you're opening it
- 00:45:03at different file so now yo now we have
- 00:45:08prisoner Richard and this and now you
- 00:45:12got to be careful when you're swapping
- 00:45:14players because like he can pick up a
- 00:45:19shotgun but he can't
- 00:45:23yeah well he can kick in the head like
- 00:45:25that an item you can't pick up the AAA
- 00:45:33or the piper a lot of our weapons it's
- 00:45:38got a few unique ones of its own but
- 00:45:40like so he just inhaled that a K and you
- 00:45:47don't get that back because so you have
- 00:45:49to be careful there like some of the
- 00:45:52early levels people don't really do this
- 00:45:54anymore because there's so many factions
- 00:45:56Swapna you can just add that people like
- 00:45:59Jaden crazy jaded and Younts and put
- 00:46:01together but it used to be like oh you
- 00:46:04want the fans to fight they can but they
- 00:46:07can't pick up the time like the
- 00:46:11executions I'm what jobs but like there
- 00:46:14are few rare instances when I still work
- 00:46:15right like some of the more Universal
- 00:46:18ones like as you saw and kicking the
- 00:46:20character's head yeah once it was the
- 00:46:23air were it's like when you do a
- 00:46:26stopping the cute returns to the
- 00:46:28midnight animal teenager or something
- 00:46:31yeah like the guy in the jersey blunt
- 00:46:34end that's like the tech soldiers
- 00:46:37already bought that's right so what's
- 00:46:42that secrets especially prisoners
- 00:46:43basically the way I do it is I that I
- 00:46:46remember the Mafia this is going to be
- 00:46:50confusing to you guys and stuff things a
- 00:46:52mod but I remember this despite Phyllis
- 00:46:54house for these guys
- 00:47:08I'm going to hit ctrl f go to their
- 00:47:11place and type in 66 which is their
- 00:47:13sprite ID and I have a whole bunch so
- 00:47:16the first one I'm going to replace this
- 00:47:20is the right one with prisoners
- 00:47:23yeah the prisoner guide still works but
- 00:47:25a night on swapping faction weapon was
- 00:47:29still free to go because as all the IDS
- 00:47:30together whether through one which guy
- 00:47:36it subscribe that I'm looking at right
- 00:47:38now adding special special characters
- 00:47:49adding demon mobsters in prison and you
- 00:47:55list pretty much all
- 00:48:00and we translate you said mafia two
- 00:48:04prisoners-- order we're doing monte de
- 00:48:06fresney
- 00:48:07oh sure you can turn any enemy in the
- 00:48:11prisoners or like another faction it's
- 00:48:13just that you have to sort of member
- 00:48:16what their sprite and object IDs are
- 00:48:19because of like different things that
- 00:48:21allow their left like prisoners have a
- 00:48:23unique behavior where they get to
- 00:48:25standstill with melee weapons
- 00:48:46the next this is kind of like not
- 00:49:01related to notepad but wasn't [ __ ] it's
- 00:49:05something like a prisoner mod it's like
- 00:49:08a patch wad but I think people have like
- 00:49:10katana wielding prisoners and people are
- 00:49:14just like come on dude
- 00:49:15cheerio brains made that it was a really
- 00:49:18clean mod because like I think he made
- 00:49:20that before we figured out how to add
- 00:49:22prisoners and like since Colombians can
- 00:49:25be fought by like three beautiful
- 00:49:27characters it opened up a lot of
- 00:49:28possibilities out of it yeah while you
- 00:49:34were scrubbing toilets I was studying
- 00:49:37the arts of the blade and finally my
- 00:49:39moment of truth I can Dodger bolas [ __ ]
- 00:49:46unless you get a toothbrush and just
- 00:49:48hook me me on yes like if you think
- 00:49:52realistically none of those characters
- 00:49:54make sense but they can dodge bullets
- 00:49:55they can't dodge my baseball
- 00:49:57I replaced the swings the Dodgers and
- 00:50:04the Dodger static I don't know if I did
- 00:50:18them off but that should have the right
- 00:50:21prisoners um the obvious I can see would
- 00:50:25be doing your screen but how many of the
- 00:50:26enemies were you replacing all right
- 00:50:37well I'm pulling up the broadness again
- 00:50:39[ __ ] to mind the dark yes I forgot
- 00:50:45Dodger fat and two other enemies dodge
- 00:50:50is gonna push me into the think I'm a
- 00:50:57prisoner that like only two characters
- 00:51:01are really meant to fight them and those
- 00:51:02are the aristocrat and person Arikara
- 00:51:05versions which is funny because that
- 00:51:08other people
- 00:51:09yeah like the prisoner Richard's never
- 00:51:11Victor never actually fights the
- 00:51:14prisoners but you can still do it I
- 00:51:18think that looks I think that like it's
- 00:51:20just more of a copy-paste job where they
- 00:51:22just made the same character then just
- 00:51:25like this a convenient name again
- 00:51:26there's only one level four tomato again
- 00:51:28so now like he's he can use the big pipe
- 00:51:31which you know their character can use
- 00:51:33and the enemy so that's how you get
- 00:51:35prisoners three or four levels that
- 00:51:38actually use these guys in the workshop
- 00:51:40already but now we can make more now if
- 00:51:42you watch this and
- 00:51:45I think wall wall modding would be next
- 00:51:47delete these guys yeah I think Tony wall
- 00:51:53Mon I've done is the hotline Miami one
- 00:51:55windows and that's a pretty good ease
- 00:51:57example but I was just like person malls
- 00:52:00I don't think I've done at least any of
- 00:52:05the big the examples please I've got
- 00:52:10subway right now and walls they have a
- 00:52:13behavior and stuff so like if you want
- 00:52:16subway walls to have corners place down
- 00:52:18a wall with corners and then change
- 00:52:20their sprite to the subway walls and SW
- 00:52:24walls with corners that's what I'm doing
- 00:52:25right now yeah you sarin sit on those
- 00:52:31whatever gives the soft yellowish walls
- 00:52:34and then the green ones and then there's
- 00:52:36like another one that's a good like
- 00:52:37substitute well then I use like the I
- 00:52:40don't use the free ones because the
- 00:52:41green corners don't work too well as
- 00:52:43much but like the soft the yellow walls
- 00:52:46the golden subway walls and like the
- 00:52:49upwards walls like a thin ones with the
- 00:52:51black corners it knows that the black
- 00:52:54court has really come in handy for a lot
- 00:52:55of the special walls okay okay okay so
- 00:53:01you see a wll file that means wall file
- 00:53:04so you open this with notepad
- 00:53:08it's the same exact thing here you have
- 00:53:11all my on my wall so since I have the I
- 00:53:14just had a couple default brick red
- 00:53:17walls you're going to want to find those
- 00:53:20IDs which is number 100
- 00:53:26probably one of the first things genital
- 00:53:28maid I'm going to replace every single
- 00:53:30one of the vertical one with the
- 00:53:36prisoner you have down here right here
- 00:53:41yeah I'm going to change their verticals
- 00:53:47with six to ten and horizontal and
- 00:53:51vertical isn't different so you have to
- 00:53:52do it for both just aromatic like all of
- 00:53:56these and then yeah well I was thinking
- 00:54:06attractive if they're like horizontal or
- 00:54:08vertical I've done plenty of times where
- 00:54:09I've been the correct level coders but I
- 00:54:15just forgot that it was like a specific
- 00:54:17vertical wall and you can tell because
- 00:54:19basically if you use they like find I
- 00:54:22Beatle it just will not show up you know
- 00:54:24like oh wait this is horizontal so hey
- 00:54:27yeah did the power plant census I meant
- 00:54:28to tell you down further it attracts
- 00:54:33pretty recent I'd at one point those out
- 00:54:35to me I forgot they existed casualties
- 00:54:39yeah like the special accents and
- 00:54:43casualties I kind of forgot about
- 00:54:45someone posted on the wall guide asking
- 00:54:47if there's possible to add them little
- 00:54:51pretty thick right
- 00:54:52compared to yeah that like size of a
- 00:54:56regular wall yeah they're pretty much
- 00:54:59the same thing except you can kind of
- 00:55:01see serum
- 00:55:11today only wall all that like I would
- 00:55:13recommend adding is the gigantic root
- 00:55:15ball it's hard to make that look good
- 00:55:18yeah I tried with human being too but I
- 00:55:21couldn't get them to line up correctly
- 00:55:24yes I really like trial and error with
- 00:55:27them Oh death wish the end yeah get over
- 00:55:34huge so now you can see the wall to
- 00:55:40change but since I didn't change their
- 00:55:41behavior the corners are still bad
- 00:55:44because but it's the same exact concept
- 00:55:47so if you want to change the corner say
- 00:55:49you want the black corners we change it
- 00:55:50the behavior to the porch and they
- 00:55:53function pretty much the same so that's
- 00:55:57how you get like the prison walls and
- 00:55:58whatnot the Sirians guys are incredibly
- 00:56:03comprehensive but if there is something
- 00:56:05that he's left out you can totally find
- 00:56:07it in these two things and I don't think
- 00:56:11these things hide anything back I think
- 00:56:12they just copy pasted everything just do
- 00:56:16abstraction listed every asset that good
- 00:56:20so there's still plump sure plenty
- 00:56:23secrets to find but yeah even look like
- 00:56:27those guys like we're RT shown we
- 00:56:29dislike the core basics but really like
- 00:56:31feel free just to come through those
- 00:56:33guys and really just look at stuff and
- 00:56:35what's around them things like I think
- 00:56:40I'm missing some of the courtroom stuff
- 00:56:44from first trials intro you figure out
- 00:56:47how to get that working it's like the
- 00:56:49desks kept glitching out it one place me
- 00:56:52editor I know you got the or I'm
- 00:56:56probably thinking of a final cup of the
- 00:56:58interview with like the audience and
- 00:57:00those like you see I think is the same
- 00:57:02way where they're kind of like shadowed
- 00:57:04out with the other figures against yeah
- 00:57:09we're I think those were the same as the
- 00:57:12final cut knowledge and yeah probably
- 00:57:14look if I was limb I could not like make
- 00:57:18something there
- 00:57:19because they serve the same purpose so
- 00:57:21it's like why make it again alright so
- 00:57:26one last thing we've covered everything
- 00:57:28except for basically at this point we've
- 00:57:31shown you how to completely swap items
- 00:57:33but this is how you're a bit trickier so
- 00:57:36for so look at this air hockey table I
- 00:57:39cannot walk through it and see behaviors
- 00:57:41air hockey table shapes so what I'm
- 00:57:44going to do is I'm going to find the air
- 00:57:48hockey table and I don't know the air
- 00:57:50hockey table so I'm going to find it in
- 00:57:52objects and control s and type in air
- 00:57:55hockey ferreted so this is the sprite so
- 00:57:584 to 9 so then we go here and it'll ask
- 00:58:05you this question because every single
- 00:58:08time always say yes kernels get angry at
- 00:58:11you four to nine find the next one
- 00:58:18and this will be the one right at the
- 00:58:20one two things underneath it so that's
- 00:58:23don't worry about there you want to take
- 00:58:26that and I want to change it to
- 00:58:27something I can say walk over or walk
- 00:58:31under so let's change it to 1306 that is
- 00:58:36the behavior of the Tiki
- 00:58:48with the TP flap so would you make the
- 00:58:50you're doing the behavior so you can
- 00:58:52walk under it
- 00:58:53yeah so let it go over you yeah or over
- 00:58:57yeah the tikki flaps are an over sprite
- 00:59:00tiger food I think or the prison Bible
- 00:59:03was like to go to walk under and yeah
- 00:59:07some are weird I just like I was using
- 00:59:10the super fun logo for something and or
- 00:59:16no the prophetic it was the net door and
- 00:59:19even though I could walk over it enemy
- 00:59:21bodies would disappear underneath it and
- 00:59:23so I changed it to like Tiger fur or
- 00:59:26something and now I can walk over it and
- 00:59:27enemies appear above it blood still
- 00:59:29doesn't but it looks a bit better this
- 00:59:33is when you're like a veteran editor
- 00:59:35yeah well that's what it looked at the
- 00:59:37shirt off - you had the strip cut white
- 00:59:39there's one of them that I didn't like
- 00:59:41the more rectangular one but it's the
- 00:59:43same thing we're when enemies die over
- 00:59:45it like half their body will be like cut
- 00:59:47off so it's like weird but important to
- 00:59:53note is that what Rob is is with the air
- 00:59:58hockey table you can also modify the
- 01:00:01weapons headaches like like by giving
- 01:00:03them a sprite of another section yeah
- 01:00:06you recently figured that one out
- 01:00:09it's still a work in progress I think it
- 01:00:11like if you use the right mods you can
- 01:00:14disguise it very easily
- 01:00:19um with that too because I know I guess
- 01:00:21I went to servers that guided briefly
- 01:00:23but almost like you could give a mafia I
- 01:00:27Mendoza and like how would that work
- 01:00:32like II can't we can you go ahead you
- 01:00:36would like you the behavior of a mafia
- 01:00:41enemy was like gun well there's
- 01:00:42patrolling standing still or going
- 01:00:43around randomly you can use them you use
- 01:00:46that a mod by creative Jaden that turns
- 01:00:48the Colombians in a mafia and then eats
- 01:00:51what you'd give that enemies the stripe
- 01:00:54of a Colombian with a Mendoza over it
- 01:00:58would behave the same way as a mafia
- 01:01:00enemy and like executions wouldn't break
- 01:01:02against it and you could knock it out a
- 01:01:037 mm um Robert long room I replace the
- 01:01:18Mafia sprite and a face right to make it
- 01:01:20literally horrifying nightmare no no
- 01:01:24Jesus Christ are you doing a podcast
- 01:01:27alone or I hope I'm proud of her I said
- 01:01:31yeah well that's what I was brewed yeah
- 01:01:34that's literally the same concept as if
- 01:01:37I've replaced a let me show Dima if I
- 01:01:41replaced a be a motion so if you could
- 01:01:45kept the Mafia behavior but was a
- 01:01:47Colombian sprite like when I say I was
- 01:01:53the Evan so I was the writer yeah I
- 01:01:59would look like I'm fighting a machete
- 01:02:00welding soldier but the weapon when I
- 01:02:03punched him he would turn into a mafia
- 01:02:07knocked out Bobby Lee clutching his arms
- 01:02:09so if I breathe once we get two mods
- 01:02:12this will make more sense but if I
- 01:02:13restarted the Mafia soldier
- 01:02:15injured the sprites to look like
- 01:02:18soldiers it would look like a mock
- 01:02:20machete-wielding dude coming after you
- 01:02:22you punch him I played against drops so
- 01:02:29late I think goes for a beard where it's
- 01:02:32like if you were to do that and like
- 01:02:35turn the soldier faction like looking
- 01:02:37like the Mafia and you gave him an m16
- 01:02:40sprite you could use the flamethrower
- 01:02:41against and it would actually work
- 01:02:43alright okay
- 01:02:48this is cool um you might see this in
- 01:02:51the future level of mine because I want
- 01:02:53to [ __ ] utilize this really good yeah
- 01:02:55oh my god little play so I don't know
- 01:02:57what someone you kill him yeah it was
- 01:02:59his fruit yeah when you kill him he just
- 01:03:01turns back into his behavior because
- 01:03:04like the it's programmed to go from that
- 01:03:06sprite to the death sprite yeah there's
- 01:03:12a whole bunch of stuff in like a minute
- 01:03:14you just go yeah Dennis oh hotlines
- 01:03:17Brunell I'm oh [ __ ] RRP sorry Dennis
