Minimalist Course Clear

SMW Patches → Minimalist Course Clear

Submission Details

Name: Minimalist Course Clear
Authors: Lui, wiiqwertyuiop
Added:
Version History: View
Tool: Asar
Requires Free Space: No
Bug Fix: No
Featured: No
Description: This patch lets you remove the COURSE CLEAR scorecard and/or the zooming circle effect at the end of the march.
What's removed is editable in the ASM file. However, the palette fade will always be removed.

No freespace required.

MODERATOR'S NOTES:
- It permanently disables the scorecard in Mode 7 bosses;
- If the !FreezeSprite define is disabled, the player can still walk after ending a Reznor Battle, which will likely kill him almost all the time.

I noticed that this patch even disables the scorecard, sometimes the Layer 3 image may have high priority (even though it is on the subscreen) while the level end is occurring.

The solution I thought of to resolve this would be to install this patch, and leave the !enable_scorecard option to 1, since the linked patch completely disables the Layer 3 tilemap and color updates. But this solution has not been tested.

If you've completely done away with everything but it's still messing up your layer 3 palette or translucence, you can also include this:

It does not work with goal tape.
How then? The gif is literally showing the end with the goal point

Is there a way to make it not show the scoreboard, but still count score/bonus stars?

I don´t know why but if you activate the "activate circle sound" doesn´t works anyways. But... Really good!

Good fix. It's great alternative to original SMW "Course Clear". I find it odd that after defeating Mode 7 bosses scorecard doesn't appears on screen (if enabled obviously), but that's probably just design preference (or limitation).

Hmmm, looks like it still lacks smooth fade out transition between Course Clear Message and loading 'Bonus Game' message. Anyways, it works just fine.

Ive had some problems with Reznors after applying this patch. The music/whistle keeps looping and it never ends.
I must note that it was the final boss, and should trigger the credits.
Not sure if it was related to this patch, but might worth checking...

*** Apparently freezing sprites after beating the boss solved the problem

Seems to be fixed for the most part. Tested it with the level_ender sprite and it works like a charm.

Yeah don't use this one, I submitted an update that fixes all of the bugs.
wiiqwertyuiop Author From older version: Minimalist Course Clear Link
Fixed a bunch of more bugs; hopefully that is the last of them.

It crashes when the game loads a event, also, the "disable the circle zoom sfx" doesnt do anything

Fixed some SA-1 addresses, made it possible to change the boss clear sound effect and made it compatible with AMK (or at least that's what I think).

Unfortunatelly, there is one major incompatibility: Rezonor breaks after beating him with SA-1 activated (the wheel moves in circle and the battle can't finish). It works without SA-1 and the other bosses work fine too, it's just Rezonor and SA-1 (hence why I leaved the tag).
Other then that, the only issue I found is that the circle sound effect actually can't be removed. In fact, it even plays too early.

I only uploaded this a few minutes ago and I realized I forgot to upload the new version shortly after and it is now fixed, you got the wrong between that time.

And yes I changed it so it works with the original boss battles, so that explains why I removed that.
trillian From older version: Minimalist Course Clear Link
This is identical to the accepted version. Did you verify that it works with original boss battles? If not, then why remove that comment?
Kiatus From older version: Minimalist Course Clear Link
it doesnt seem to work on my rom
