Blast Corps Hacking

[queueRAM]

I spent more time on this than I care to admit, but I have been working on texture encoding and replacement and have learned a few things. First, the texture table must be sorted, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a nice lookup table. If the texture offsets aren't sorted, the game will lock up in certain places, even if you just swap existing textures.

Second, texture compression type 1 is actually pretty slick. It sacrifices the least significant bit of green in RGBA to allow for lookback block copying. I was able to make a simple encoder.

As a demonstration, I did a terrible job reskinning the A-Team van as the Mystery Machine:

Wow, this looks very nice! Can't wait do add in the unused black car which is actually an unused decoration from Angel City.

Can you clarify what you are trying to do and what problem you are seeing? Feel free to post a screenshot if you think it will help. Are you having an issue exporting a model from Blast Corps Editor? The current released version 0.0.4 can only export terrain and collision data. It currently cannot import new levels.

At the moment, I haven't figured out the complete structure of vehicles and buildings in the ROM. I'd recommend trying one of the emulator video plugins that supports model ripping, like Lemmy's Video Plugin.

Hey, is there any version out there capable of running just the levels? Or replacing them?

You can edit only the levels. To play them, you need an emulator, for example Project64.
