New WOP's: Scouge, Zbot, UFO, and Tentacle

jafo1015 · Post by **jafo1015** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 5:26 pm

My first Post! I've been looking a lot into HEX editing and related topics, and couldn't find any WOP's for the Scouge, Zbot, or UFO from the retro levels in MOFI, or a MOFI Tentacle either. So, here are some WOP's for those objects!

I don't have a converter like Cbloopy's to make life easier, so you will have to convert the level files (.wlv) manually in a HEX editor if you want to use them. Also, I found the UFO and ZBot to be a little glichy, but I think I have it figured out. How to convert the files, and keep UFO's and ZBots from MAVing the level are explained in the .pdf file included in the ZIP folder.

Once you download and extract the WOP's, place them in the WA Editor v096\Data\Editor\ObjectPresets\MOFI (Conversion) folder, or some other folder within OjectsPresets. The Scouge, ZBot, and UFO will appear as a scritter, and the Tentacle will appear as a white fence post in the editor, but once you convert the .wlv file and play it in MOFI, they will appear normal.

You've got to be the best thing that happened to this forum since cbloopy! I've been waiting for these wops for so long!

I haven't attempted manual conversion yet, but from the pdf it doesn't look too hard. If I get it working, I'll post a picture.

No more Guppy Star complaining about the tentacles.

A) As for the MAVs, I don't believe a word of it. If that was true, the Retroworld would MAV once each levels started and thus be uncompleteable.
B) This is deleted. Don't read "B)"

Of course the Retroworld wouldn't MAV. MS had the wops at his disposal and he didn't need to convert them at all.

But beware: WA3 editor and WA3 itself are close.

Nice job and welcome, anyway.

Note: The Zbots will NOT MAV the game. Ignore the lie.

No, He said that if the Zbots/UFOs are trapped with water or Walls, MOFI would MAV. That isn't true.

I don't know why I am laughing at this, because you told something good? I am not complaining anymore. Thank you the one who made this

You. You are the awesomest user besides MS.

Your /first/ post had WOPs everyone was waiting for.

I love you.

I'm just going to drop this here and leave it at that:

Glad everyone is excited about them and I hope the instructions on manually converting them are easy enough to follow.

I might attempt writing a converter program, but it's been about 10 years since I last wrote a useful program, so I need to do a bit of review before I can program anything. If it works, I'll probably also include the cbloopy WOP's as well, just so you don't have to run two separate programs to convert the .wlv files.

Merry X-Mas everyone!

You can make ANY object MAV a game if you set the wrong data byte the wrong way. I'm sure MidnightSynergy's MOFI editor sets everything up right without any problems, but we don't have access to that. So, I got a MAV when the ZBot was walled in, if that's not the case for you, then that's fine and dandy, you won't have to do the extra conversion step. But don't call me a liar
