Rainbow Islands Update

BippyM · 06 April 2008, 23:05

Hi Guys

After chatting with Horace for a bit he has rekindled my asm and I have decided to add a trainer, and support for a 2nd button/cd32 to rainbow islands!

I have already discovered quite a bit, and training it will be easy, I just wanna know what you wanna see added.

I can already train lives, add all upgrades (shoes, 2,3,4 rainbows and fast rainbows) and I can collect the diamonds, and I think in the correct order too

So tell me

May sound daft but can you (or maybe you already have) an option to stop the evil water level from rising? ta

Can you add the levels from the arcade version please.

You don't want much then eh

If I can figure the game out properly including the mapping, enemy ai etc then I suppose it's possible.. Too ambitious right now tho :P

Hungry Horace · 07 April 2008, 13:36

ooohh... mapping.... = future level editor??

you'd need to have it be able to read exported map files though...

Can you make a second part with the graphics of this clone?

2ndButton Jump? all the jumping in the game its crappy pressing Up all the time.

BippyM · 07 April 2008, 21:40

Hungry Horace · 07 April 2008, 21:44

cool x 5000

BippyM · 10 April 2008, 18:14

a quick update. I've trained lives and credits so far.

I can also force 1,2,3 or 4 rainbows as well as fast feet and rainbows. I can also change the frequency that specials are dropped. It is set to 3 by default. I can also change or force certain items to be revealed from the ground.

Also i have written a routine that forces any gem dropped to be the next gem needed. I still haven't figured out what i need to do to force the game to show the secret room. Not figured out the times yet for water. It's proving to be a bitch. Any idea's or anyone knows where the routine is please give me a shout.

When water hits you, you die..
Try tracking what routine is taking 1 life from you. Then see what calls this routine, and keep tracking back, that might help you.. ?

All bonus counters are found and mapped, and can be changed

Working on "Forcing" a bonus of users choice

BippyM · 15 April 2008, 15:57

is there actually any interest in this?

If not i'll look for another game. Will be a shame now i've almost figured out the bonus system

killergorilla · 15 April 2008, 16:13

I personally love this game to bits, I don't normally use any trainers to be honest (I never get very far) but I'm sure I would if there were that level of choice!

I'm certainly interested! Although more in the two-button support than anything else. More Amiga games should be re-hacked to add extra button support imo

Hungry Horace · 15 April 2008, 16:42

very interested of course bip

one of the best amiga games around
