I've looked through the compendium and the asm docs, and I can't seem to find the code location to modify/disable the rain/cloud overlays (I'm looking to hook into the existing triggers with custom code, not simply disable them entirely, preferably on a screen-by-screen basis). Can anybody point me in the right direction there?

XaserLE wrote an asm file to enable/disable overlays on areas of your wish a while back!

Code:
;this is for getting the overlays work in certain areas, i use bank 0x3F for the whole code
;WRITTEN: by XaserLE
;THANKS TO: -MathOnNapkins
; -an unknown author of a rain activation code that helped a little
;TODO:
; -missing: silent rain sound in dungeons. for that we need to save a rain indicator in free ram and hook into the dungeon load routine
; -rain doesn't work with overworld warping (teleporter/mirror)

Yep, that got me what I wanted (disable all overlays except the mountain clouds once you get the master sword).  Now there's only one weird bug and a lot of playtesting standing in the way of what is probably the final feature addition to PW 1.2.  Still a handful of other unrelated bugfixes to tackle, but it's getting close Smile

Disable Overworld Overlay Empty Re: Disable Overworld Overlay

Ok, so it's *almost* completely working.  However, when I warp to the Icy World, the snow BG is disabled, however the lightning flashing effect is not, which ends up loading the wrong tiles since the snow BG isn't loaded.  Any ideas where that's at?  Also, the rumbling SFX is playing, even though I have it set to SFX $05 (silence), which I have confirmed by logging writes to $012D.  I'd like to disable that if possible.

Ok, so I found the rumble code

Code:
82a501 ldx #$36               A:2024 X:0009 Y:0028 S:01fc D:0000 DB:80 nvMXdiZC V: 70 H:1178 F:51
82a503 stx $012e     [80012e] A:2024 X:0036 Y:0028 S:01fc D:0000 DB:80 nvMXdizC V: 70 H:1190 F:51

Now I just need to figure out how to disable the flashing.  I get the feeling that there's custom code involved since PW has that effect on the entire Icy World overworld instead of just specific areas like Death Mountain and Misery Mire in aLttP.  If anybody happens to know where that code is, I'd appreciate it.
