Across Alovolt and QOL Pack

Post by sunl »

Hello,

Here is a QOL patch for Across.
  • Alovolt (press N)
  • Centered camera
  • The 5 deleted Across internal levels are added as internal levels 43-47. They are saved in state.dat and have best times.
  • The maximum number of levels and replays has been increased from 596 to 9996.
You can subscribe to the Steam Across workshop item to access these features:
Alovolt and QOL Pack

For the standalone version of Across 1.2, you can backup the original across.exe file and replace it with this executable file:

Thanks sunl, this is awesome!! I just learned of the source code today, and you already built three features into it.
Did you use the source released from Elma Team?

Do you mind sharing your updated code, out of curiosity?

I don't know if this is the best forum section or place for the discussion, but I have many questions and would like to learn much more.

What compiler did you use or would recommend?
Did you have to supply our own assets or link anything else to get it to build?

Let me know if there is a better place to ask/learn or discuss this. Thank you!

Hey Stikky! Glad to hear from you :) Hope this will make you play some more :)

Labs has been bothering me since October and I hadn't gotten around to it until the last few days. The source code definitely makes it easier to pinpoint where to make the edits, but it's not essential (Elma and Elma2 were modded without the original source code)

I'll write more explaining what I did later for the 3-4 features. In the meantime you can hit me up in discord viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9522 - everybody is there now!

You have any programming experience or experience with assembler?

Some programming experience but only high level (mostly C# in .NET, etc.). I understand some of the lower level concepts, but sadly never written a line of assembly or had to disassemble anything, either- not even sure what tools and/or IDE would be relevant or help with this. Have a long way to go, Action Supercross 1.2 source code makes me want to get there :)

Update today:

Level and replay file limit increased from 596 to 9996

The workshop item should automatically update. People on old across 1.2 need to manually update.
