Adding ghosts to room (Help)

[TheHappyFaceKing]

I do know how to change the ghosts that are already in the rooms with enemyinfo. but how to I add more ghosts to rooms?

[~Scary Basher~]

you'll have to manually edit thier room location and spawn point. im not sure if you can add any. just drag them around the mansion. even i don't know how to do this. it's been driving me nuts!

You would probably have to change the size of the info file for that. (And also you would have to change the count of items in the header too) But I am also not sure what file actually spawns ghosts.

I see we don't really know much :\

well the ghosts are already "spawned" just not activated.

I did it!


And to top it all off, 88 games in 1.

Ok, to be back on topic, helping you with putting in custom ghosts.

So before we begin, you know all the 0x40's at the bottom? (aka, a bunch of @'s) Well, you need that cushion there, and it is important to have that. (Not exact size, but so it fills the bottom and looks even when viewing 16 bytes in one row)

And the header is very important too. If you are going to add, let's say, 3 ghosts, you will need to add 3 to that first 32-bit value there.

Here is how that room string you found earlier works:
The first part before the underscore determines the room number. the second part after the underscore determines which wave will the ghosts spawn in.
Ex. 35_2 will make the ghost spawn in the parlor, at the second wave.
It is also important to change that room number value (the first value that is in hex right after the last string) to the room you want.
Also, make sure your string ends in a 0x00, or else it might not work.

And the ghost you are trying to use should have the name. But also, the other thing (Ex. obake_40_1) should come from the room you wanted that ghost to come to.

That is all I got for now.

Here is what I put in for my ghost entry:
(I also added 1 in the value I mentioned in the header, and made sure that cushion was good)

First of all what's the first 32-bit value?

Second of all im only wanting to add ghosts to the rooms that don't have them like Lydia's room. but I don't know how I can add a ghost to that kind of room

Adding ghosts to rooms without that setup. I think you would use characterinfo for that. Or generatorinfo.

I figured out how to add ghosts but how do you add waves? I did put a _4 in a ghosts entry for a room that only has 3 waves but it didn't work

[~Scary Basher~]

Because you have to program a 4th wave for that room.

How?

[~Scary Basher~]

No absolute idea.

Remember when I said that? Yea, I now know that there is a specific size you need for those @'s.

For Hex Editing, it's best if you make your Bytes Per Row view to 32. (Like this)
