lol, how did you finally get it working in case others have the same issue.

BTW - you won't have much room, and it's tricky to do a citadel mission.

i got win9x67.zip file and updated my graphics adaptor from an Intel(R) chipset graphics adaptor PV 2.1 to an Intel(R) 82815 graphics controller so that way Direct3D 9 was supported therefore allowing me to use the visual editor.

ok i've just about finished up on the top room in my citadel mission. for some strange reason it won't let me take screenshots, so you guys will just have to wonder (unless i can fix the screenshot error). oh and subdrag, i just wanted to say thanks for this awsome editor. it freakin rocks and it is super easy. thanks a whole bunch.

I'm hoping you can actually get your Citadel in-game. You'll need to use Zoinkity's patch, have that as your quick save ROM, then quicksave (UsetupcatZ), but you have so little space I think for the setup. Have you been able to try it in-game?

For some reason taking screenshots using backbuffer of DX fails for some people, you can just use printscreen.

Err, did I set the default Citadel scale as Citadel or Zoinkity's Citadel?

[00Dark]

you set zoinkity's scale.

[SubDrag]

Good. Have you tried it in-game? You only have lilke 0x900 or so to work with currently with Zoinkity's method. We should prob devise a better method now.

[00Dark]

do you mean that my stuff that i put in the mission is limited?

[00Dark]

oh that reminds me, i was wondering if you could make a level picture mod for the egyptian stage in the solo menu because that's what my mission is going to replace. please go to the following URL: http://goldeneye.detstar.com/beta/thecitadel.asp that is where i got my idea for this citadel mission. as you can see there are some fake in-game screenshots of the citadel mission and one is a picture mod. i was wondering if you could create a picture mod exactly identical to the fake screenshot picture mod of the mission at the URL. also i think i'm just gonna be a copycat and make my mission objectives the same as the objectives in the other fake screenshot. (such as locating ashton martin, etc.) because i'm just too damn lazy to think of my own objectives in other words i'm just going to make everything at that URL a reality instead of a fake hoax.

[SubDrag]

I've been working on that sort of stuff, so I'll get back to you on it.

[00Dark]

ah man, all this work on the citadel mission is giving me a splitting headache. if it's ok with you guys i'm gonna take a break from the citadel mission and just do somthing simple like a multiplayer level. subdrag was right, this is hard!

I just spent a bit of time looking into the Citadel patched ROM to see how it all works. Apparently, all you need to do is change the setup file that is being used by stage ID 30. Best bet would be to use the Jungle, as it's the biggest of the bunch. However, remembering that it still uses the language file designated to ID 30, which used to be the Library, I had to redirect it to another. I decided to go with the Statue, as it is also the largest of its kind. Now you'll have plenty of space to work with. When you make a briefing file, just replace the Egyptian. It's a bit awkward working with three different names, but that's how it's going to work. Here are the codes you'll need to use, for now, to get the stage to load...

8002425F 0030 --> Change Citadel's memory to stage ID 30
80024297 0028 --> Change Library's memory to stage ID 28
8002A8F7 0030 --> Force load stage ID 30, Citadel
810375A6 5960 --> Redirect stage ID 30's setup file to UsetupjunZ
80045B03 0030 --> Change Citadel's weather setup to stage ID 30
810484DE BAA0 --> Redirect stage ID 30's language file to LstatE
80044DD7 0000 --> (optional) Remove clouds from sky (emu fix)

Just remember, these are the three files you'll be modifying...

Setup file: UsetupjunZ.bin
Language file: LstatE.bin
Briefing file: UbriefcrypZ.bin

I've managed to work out compression for inserting level recon images. How cool is that!

Apply patch to unflipped NTSC ROM, then go see Silo's recon picture. This can be applied to any level, once I finish developing it.

NICE!!
