Diving time based on HP

[bruddog 3,029]

This hack changes the dive animation time based on the players HP. The normal dive animation time is 7 frames. This will subtract a frame for every HP notch above 50 up to a minimum of 2 frame. And increase the dive animation time to a maximum of 14 for a 6 HP player. This might use the same space as various other hacks so move the location or bank switch and change the code if needed. 

 

LDY #$1C

LDA ($AE),Y                           // get player HP

LSR                                        // divide by 2

LSR                                        // divide by 2

AND #$0F                              // make sure its 0-15 value

CLC                                       // CLC just in case

CMP #$0C                             // check is HP is >=81            

BCS  SET to TWO                  // if HP >= 81 set dive animation to TWO

EOR #$FF

ADC #$0F                               // convert to negative number and add 1+ 14 to get dive animation time. 50HP= normal 7

so players with higher HP dive faster than others?  or does this change the recovery time of said dive?

[Tecmonster 211]

Man, this is SWEET!  I didn't even think about this as a way to make HP more relevant, but it makes perfect sense (especially with the way I rate players where their Madden tackling rating = HP for all defensive players, except DL).

 

So, if I wanted to make the quickest possible dive = 02, and the slowest possible dive = 12, what would I need to change?

Dropping science, Brud.

[bruddog 3,029]

Tadaos, yes higher hp players dive faster and lower HP players dive slower.

Tecmonster thats basically what this hack is now.

What to do if want to use QUICKNESS for this instead of HP?

 

Also, need tutorial on this: quote"This might use the same space as various other hacks so move the location or bank switch and change the code if needed. "

Wanting to use quickness changes and lengthens the code quite a bit since it isn't stored in the player ram area. But it can be done.

Jstout and cxrom have posted examples of how to bank switch but i can post it again here at some point. It would also require changing the hack since the bank switch itself takes up a decent amount of code.

thanks.  makes more sense to me to use Quickness instead of HP.  cool idea either way.  nice job.

[bruddog 3,029]

Ya I didnt use quickness because i use quickness and rename it to coverage in my passing hack so I used quickness for something else entirely. But otherwise yes quickness does make sense as well.

[bgboud2 577]

Definitely like the hack, but HP doesn't seem quite the right attribute for it. RS or QUI (when not a coverage hack)

[bruddog 3,029]

I wanted to avoid RS so that great corners that sucked or or avg at tackling wouldn't be great at dive tackling with this hack. I agree HP is not quite right but there are only so many attributes.

RP then? Great corners get high RS but low RP?

[Tecmonster 211]

I personally think that HP is the perfect attribute -- should to be related to how well you can tackle.  The only issue I have though, is if you use bruddog's other HP hacks, then you're basically confined to using LB's all the time because you'll probably never be able to make a tackle with a DB unless the RB is exceptionally weak.  After testing this today, I think the spread should be a little tighter -- from 09 to 03.  When chasing down a RB from behind a DB's dive never works.  And then maybe factor in a little less HP in the grapple hacks to allow for more randomness.  For instance:

09=19 HP or below

08=25-31 HP

07=38-44 HP

06=50-56 HP

05=63-69 HP

04=75-81 HP

03=88 HP or above

[bgboud2 577]

yeah Tecmonster but I think of HP as the rating for the big and/or stout guys

the more i think of it, RP would be perfect differentiator

[buck 2,056]

is it possible to use Quickness as straight up HP or Quickness as HP for the HP hack?

That way, HP can be used for this here hack.

Edited October 1, 2013 by buck

[bruddog 3,029]

Wherever you want to use quickness is possible just makes the hack sizeable bigger in either case

Ya tecmonster i hadnt tested what the range should be. Yours is probably better.

[bruddog 3,029]

Bg the problem is you really want all your best defnders to have high RP regardless of their dive tackling ability.

This might use the same space as various other hacks so move the location or bank switch and change the code if needed. 

 

This is a great hack.

 

I'm trying to move the 2nd string to 0x2CF2E (just a bunch of FF's there).

 

I thought I did that by changing the 1st line to 0x201ECFEAEA ("switch the bytes, then -10..."), but that just caused a crash... on the ROM I'm using, and on the OG ROM as well. Not sure why, though. That method has worked for me before. What am I doing wrong now?

[bruddog 3,029]

NES MMC3 mapper can only have two banks loaded at a time. 

 

The bank this hack is in runs from 0x28010  to 0x2C010 on the acutal ROM file. Also for JSR's the only valid ranges are 0x8000 to 0xBFFF. 

 

0xC000 -0xFFFF is the fixed bank in memory.
