if you have GroundPoundSrc.asm in library, you should move it outside and edit GroundPound.asm to point to where it is (instead of incsrc GroundPoundSrc.asm if you placed it where uberasm exe is, it'll be incsrc ../GroundPoundSrc.asm or if in specific folder, incsrc ../Your_folder/GroundPoundSrc.asm)

I have a problem with this...

In UberASM appear this:

Try it like this

I really liked it
ground pound blocks would be nice

thanks

AyGaAlPa 2021-02-16 02:10:07 AM Link

what gamemode should I use in this case?

PSYotta 2020-12-14 01:58:48 PM Link

cool and very useful!

zacmario 2020-11-02 05:02:26 AM Link

I'm having trouble loading this from the library. Don't know why.

Disregard, forgot about gamemode.

Two small bits of code were tweaked for improved functionality with the author's permission. The readme was updated to reflect the change. Nothing else was altered.

A welcome update, this is quite solid now! A useful but not domineering ability that can add some spice to the player's general platforming repertoire.

The only two little things are the generated smoke clouds causing minor graphical glitching in Morton/Ludwig/Roy's boss rooms, and being able to pass through Layer 3 smashers during the pre-pound pause, but these are trivial. I guess you can also cancel a pound out of a sprinting cape jump for low-height glide shenanigans, but I think this is more interesting than buggy, myself.

Tested with Asar 1.71, Lunar Magic 3.11, SA-1 1.32, Snes9x 1.59.2, UberASM Tool 1.4.

Now it works, thanks!
And nice patch.

I keep getting this:

I have GroundPound.asm and GroundPoundSrc.asm in the same library folder; I use JSL GroundPound_main in the level asm to combine it with other uberasm codes.

What's wrong?

RussianMan Author 2020-09-10 10:17:12 AM Link

yes

dogemaster 2020-09-10 09:57:50 AM Link

is this an update?

Fixed a mistake in GroundPoundSrc.asm that caused the !L and !R button settings to respond to X and L inputs, respectively. Nothing else was changed.

This is a neat ability that's pretty broadly usable alongside some straightforward platforming. In my own opinion, it may be better suited as a bonus ability, or used in a hack that is shorter or otherwise not packed with lots of other stuff, as the ability is a bit rough around the edges when it comes to certain interactions. To be taken with a grain of salt, of course. The following are some notes recorded during moderation, presented as observations and not necessarily "stuff that should be fixed":

Moderation Notes: Show/Hide

The player is able to cancel a ground pound and immediately re-activate it, only to cancel it again - a very precise player is able to remain airborne for a very long time by keeping this cycle going.

The player is able to activate a ground pound while dying or after crossing the goal.

The player is able to pick up throwblocks mid-pound.

If something solid rises up into the player during the "waiting to fall" period, the pound will be cancelled visually, but the player will remain locked in place until the wait period is over, at which point the Yoshi stomp smoke cloud sprites will pop out of the immobile player.

Initiating a pound while touching the top of a chuck or a disco shell rapidly generates "contact" graphics/SFX during the "waiting to fall" period.

Taking damage during the "waiting to fall" period overrides the powerdown animation, displaying the static ground pound frame instead.

Generating the ground pound smoke clouds in Morton, Ludwig, or Roy's arenas causes minor visual glitches in the background.

The player is able to cape spin or shoot fireballs while ground pounding; in the case of the cape, timing a cape spin right when hitting the ground destroys the smoke cloud sprites.

The ground pound doesn't clear the ducking or sprint jumping states, causing the state to be re-entered if the pound is cancelled.

Ground pounding right after being shot out of a diagonal pipe fails to halt the player for a bit.

Ground pounding can be cancelled by grabbing a vine or net, allowing players to spam the pound SFX.

The player is able to ground pound out of a sprinting jump while caped (normal or spin), before gliding kicks in proper - this actually produces some pretty neat results, all things considered.

May just be me, but I could barely notice the "fast fall" mechanic in all but the longest falls (or at least if the regular pound speed was set very low).

Tested with Asar 1.71, Lunar Magic 3.11, SA-1 1.32, Snes9x 1.59.2, UberASM Tool 1.4.

That is sweet, and the fact it acts like yellow Yoshi makes it feel like it belongs.

Batata Douce From older version: Ground Pound, Yoshi's Stomp Effect 2020-08-29 08:37:54 PM Link

Thanks for doing my request!

RussianMan Author From older version: Ground Pound, Yoshi's Stomp Effect 2020-08-28 03:00:10 PM Link

for that you'd need to modify quake sprite or something with a patch, which is out of scope for this submission.

Unless you mean custom blocks that can check for ground pound flag and do things (like how you can have a block that is solid but can be destroyed with ground pound).

Anas From older version: Ground Pound, Yoshi's Stomp Effect 2020-08-28 02:55:06 PM Link

Very cool! One small yet effective suggestion I'd drop here is to allow the player to activate blocks with this ground pound. The items don't necessarily need to go down, just the activation alone is enough. Otherwise, still very cool!
