Patch:Sprite spawning

This page is a tutorial page on patching sprite spawning. It contains information on what sprite spawn code is and how to patch it. A sprite's spawn code sets all of the sprite's variables before it is placed in the level. Many of these variables are important and only set once.
This page deals with patches relating to sprite spawning, covering a number of patches applied to sprites before they're even created and even allowing more sprites than normal to be placed in a game. The page is prefaced with a section explaining the different areas of sprite spawning, followed by a section for each game.
A related tutorial page dealing with expanding the number of sprites in Keen 1-3 is Patch:Patching Vorticon Sprites and its equivalent for Keen Galaxy and Dreams is Patch:Patching Galaxy Sprites.
Areas of sprite spawning
There are three areas involved in spawning a sprite, the pointer list, the initiation code and the spawning code proper.
The pointer list is exactly what it sounds like, sprites in level maps are simply values in the sprite plane, from $0000-$FFFF. Certain 'standard' values (Lower ones) are used for sprites, other 'special' values are treated on a case by case basis, usually switches.
There are three parts to this, the list's location, its length (minus one) and the list itself. The list consists of a number of two-byte values each related to the location of a sprite's initiation code. Every sprite of a certain number will be directed via the list to a certain segment of initiation code.
Initiation code prepares the game for the sprite, setting aside memory, caching graphics and suchlike. It is not a solid block of code, but part of the same code as the pointer list. The initiation code directs the game to the sprite's individual spawning code.
The spawning code is a solid block of code executed once per sprite that results in the sprite being placed in the level and set in motion; it prepares the sprite for the game.
Keen 1
Keen 1 is unusual in that only the first five sprites are 'standard', while the Ice cannons, falling block and Keen himself are special cases with specific sprite numbers. It is possible to standardize the sprite initiations and thus allow many more sprite types and customization. This is covered in the following section.
Initiations
All pointers are the same, two-byte values giving the exact location of the data they reference. Thus the pointer to the list of value $1709W directs the game to the list at $1709. The standard sprite list is 4 + 1 = 5 entries long. Other sprite types are more difficult to work with. Sprites less than Ice Type 3 ($09) but greater then the standard types (Including type 6, an Ice Cannon!) are Ice Cannons. (By default $07, $08 and $09.) Type 0 Ice Cannons have their own special type ($06), dealt with before all other sprites, even standard ones. The Chain's type is $0A and finally Keen too has a special type, $FF (255).

The initiation codes for Keen 1 are mostly quite simple, setting aside some memory space then jumping straight to the spawn code. Getting to the spawn code is reasonably easy to decipher, involving the address of the code plus the $E8 call plus the number of bytes before it.
The player's initiation is different and far more complex. It does not seem to call a spawn code, but the blue value is how high Keen spawns. (This appears to be stored in memory so Keen can be spawned later.)

Spawn codes
The spawn codes for Keen 1 are quite complex as they set most of the sprite's properties and behaviors, including strength, actions and death code. It is informative to browse Patch:Jump conditions, Patch:Sprite collision, Patch:Sprite behavior, Patch:Sprite animations and Patch:Sprite type. All of these are set in the following codes.

Standardize Keen 1 initiations, allow more types of sprite
As explained under Patch:Patching Vorticon Sprites this patch rearranges the 'core switch statement' allowing all default sprites to be treated as standard. The new list length is the blue $09 and its location is $168A. This actually greatly simplifies the Keen 1 code, and as such is used in preference to the above default code as it flows more logically.

Keen 2
Keen 2 is much more regular than Keen 1 in that all its sprites follow he same basic pattern.
Initiations
All pointers are the same, two-byte values giving the exact location of the data they reference. Thus the pointer to the list of value $3BE2W directs the game to the list at $3BE2. The standard sprite list is 3 + 1 = 4 entries long. Other sprite types are more difficult to work with. Types 5, 6, 7 and 255 have their own separate codes that are jumped to directly, for reasons unknown.

Keen 3
Keen 3 is much more regular than Keen 1 or 2 in that all its sprites follow he same basic pattern.
Initiations
All pointers are the same, two-byte values giving the exact location of the data they reference. However Keen 3 has one important different. The primary list is a 'number list' that gives values in the sprite plane that are converted to various sprites. (For example value 1 in the sprite plane becomes sprite 1, the Vorticon. Value 255 becomes sprite 19, or Keen.) Both this list and the pointer list are the same length, controlled by a single variable, the list length. This is in entries, or words; two bytes long. (So the list length in bytes is this value * 2) The location of the pointer list is a number of bytes after the number list (So changing the number list's location also changes the pointer list location.) By default this value is the length of the number list in bytes so that both lists form a solid block of data. Also notable is the 'Vorticon 2' which has its own sprite number, yet has the same pointer as the Vorticon meaning this sprite is just an unnecessary additional Vorticon.

The initiation codes for the various sprites are quite simple. each simply tells the game a new sprite is going to be produced, then jumps to that sprite's spawn code. The finishing code is run by all sprite initiation codes.

Spawn codes
The spawn codes for Keen 3 are quite complex as they set most of the sprite's properties and behaviors, including strength, actions and death code. It is informative to browse Patch:Jump conditions, Patch:Sprite collision, Patch:Sprite behavior, Patch:Sprite animations and Patch:Sprite type. All of these are set in the following codes. Notice that the left and right foot of the Mangling Machine use the same spawn code, and that both the MM hands and feet are metasprites not sprites.
A notable difference fro Keen 1 is that nearly all sprites are given a strength value, even if that value is just 1.

Keen Dreams
Keen Dreams is similar to Keen Galaxy in that there are two kinds of pointers, 'short' (two-byte) pointers used in the pointer list and 'long' (four byte) pointers.
Initiations
Pointers in Dreams are different from those in Vorticons in that they require a value to be added to them to get the actual location they refer to. In Dreams this is $44D0. So a pointer with the value $04FCW actually refers to code at $04FC + $44D0 = $49CC. Interestingly infoplane values are used for both sprites and level entrances on the map. This means that if extra levels are desired some sprites will have to be overwritten

There are several things to note about the initiation codes. They are quite similar to those in Keen Vorticons.
The first and most important thing is sprite cache. When a sprite is spawned it often (But not always!) sets a value in memory to 1. This section of memory is then scanned and sprites cached off the sprite cache list. This is a five byte string $C7 $06 $70xxW $0001W, where xx is different for each sprite cache. As an example the Brocolash's cache is $BC, the Tomatooth's is $BE (They are next to each other in the cache list, and thus differ by 2 in memory.) A fuller explanation of this is given at Patch:Sprite cache.
Notice the Pea Brain uses the same cache as the Pea Pod; this may be because the Pea Brain is never used in Keen Dreams by default and so is 'slaved' to the Pea Pod.
The call ($9A $xxxxxxxxRL) is the call to the actual spawning code. So for example Normal Keen calls $05E80CFFRL. All jumps ($E9 $xxxxW or $EB $xx.) go to the 'Blank' code. These will need to be adjusted if the code is copied somewhere else, for example to make a new sprite.

Spawn codes
The last blue highlighted value is the sprite action the sprite uses as it proceeds to act in-level. $C7 $07 $xxxxW sets the sprite type and $C7 $47 $0E $xxxxW is the horizontal direction the sprite starts moving in, either $0001W (Facing right), $FFFFW (Facing left) or $0000W (Neither, never used.) $C7 $47 $10 $xxxxW is the vertical direction and works similarly.
Finally $D3 $E0 $05 $xxxxW is how far down (Or more usually up) the sprite is spawned from where it is placed. This is necessary for sprites that walk on the ground as they can only be placed in the level at multiples of 16 pixels high while their actual height can be anything. However it is often used even when this is not the case.

Keen 4
Initiations
The initiation pointer list pointers are short and require another value to be added to them to give the location to which they refer. (Thus in Keen 4 a value of $0064 actually points to code at $E8F0 + $0064 = $E954.)

There are several things to note about the initiation codes. They are far more thorough than in Keen Vorticons. The first things to note are the difficulty checks. Those sprites that have easy, normal and hard spawns have three different values. The easy pointer value is largest, with normal and hard being ten less each, since the way the code is set up has the difficulty checks first. The difficulty check is usually a ten byte string $83 $3E $7A6CW $02\$03 $7D $03 $E9 $xxxxW This means roughly 'If the difficulty is equal or harder than this, jump over the 'do nothing' jump.' Normal difficulty is $02, Hard is $03. The check can be understood by looking at Patch:Jump conditions and Patch:Game stats.
The second things are sprite caches. When a sprite is spawned it often (But not always!) sets a value in memory to 1. This section of memory is then scanned and sprites cached off the sprite cache list. This is a five byte string $C7 $06 $CBxxW $0001W, where xx is different for each sprite cache. As an example the Council Member's cache is $5D, the Bird's is $5F (They are next to each other in the cache list, and thus differ by 2 in memory.) A fuller explanation of this is given at Patch:Sprite cache.
Notice the Egg sets two cache values, one for itself and one for the Bird. Several sprites set no cache, including the Wetsuit, which uses a hardcoded value for the (Single frame) it caches. Other sprites cache individual animations as well as their cache, or even several animations in addition to their cache.
The last call ($9A $xxxxxxxxRL) is the call to the actual spawning code. So for example Normal Keen calls $0B80000ERL and $0D8F0003RL, with that second one being the code that spawns him. (The other one sets him as the player.) Again, some sprites are not spawned at all, but just sit there.
All jumps ($E9 $xxxxW or $EB $xx.) go to the 'B Block' code. (The B Block code is used for sprites that do nothing, however only the B Block sprite will stop platforms.) These will need to be adjusted if the code is copied somewhere else, for example to make a new sprite.

Spawn codes
These are spawn codes found in games. Unlike the initiation codes, they are standalone and can be swapped about and edited as desired. Notice that the very last variable set in Galaxy is the sprite action; in Vorticons it is the location of the sprite code and collision.
Depending on the spawn code, different things may happen. Miragia's spawn code is the shortest, but will not allow a sprite to do anything except replace tiles as Miragia does. There are a number of values set.
The last blue highlighted value is the sprite action the sprite uses as it proceeds to act in-level. $C7 $02 $xxxxW sets the sprite activity, $C7 $47 $06 $xxxxW sets the clipping, $C7 $07 $xxxxW sets the sprite type, $C7 $20 $xxxxW sets the foreground value., Finally $D3 $E0 $05 $xxxx is how far down (Or more usually up) the sprite is spawned from where it is placed. This is necessary for sprites that walk on the ground as they can only be placed in the level at multiples of 16 pixels high while their actual height can be anything.
$C7 $47 $0E $xxxxW is the horizontal direction the sprite starts moving in, either $0001W (Facing right), $FFFFW (Facing left) or $0000W (Neither, never used.) $C7 $47 $10 $xxxxW is the vertical direction and works similarly. Some sprites have a probability check to determine which way they face this is always 50:50 (Though it needn't be.) and the code responsible for this is $9A $1D02002ARL $3D $0080W

Allow more sprite kinds
This patch expands the maximum number of different sprite initiations possible in Keen 4; the default patch above allows a maximum of $7F or 127 initiations, whereas this patch allows a maximum of $7FFFW, or thousands, making the number practically unlimited.
This patch will only work as long as right-facing Keen's initiation code (Above)is not tampered with. The patch here uses the default number of sprites, 87.

Create space for new initiation code
These patches rearrange the existing initiation codes so that they are ore compact. This allows a modder to insert new code in the freed space. All the patches in this section can be combined to free up the maximum amount of space.
Compact Keen initiation method
This patch compacts the Left, right and map Keen initiation codes so they use the minimum amount of space. (This is possible because they all require similar code.) It frees space at $E999 for a 3-difficulty sprite or several non-difficulty sprites. Note that the scorebox's cached graphic is marked as the last blue value. (The first two are in-level Keen's left\right facing directions.) Checking the original initiation code will give a more detailed breakdown of what is presented here.

Inchowrm-Foot method
This patch collapses the Inchworm and Foot initiation codes and stops both caching the Treasure Eater Smoke frames. What this means is that both will take up less memory but the Inchworms cannot transform into the Foot and emit smoke. As a bonus space is created for an additional initiation code for a totally new sprite.
The space freed is 61 bytes ($EAAE-$EAEB). This is enough for a 3 difficulty sprite or several single difficulty sprites.

There are several things to note about the initiation codes. They are quite similar to, but better structured than Keen 4. The first things to notice the difficulty checks. Those sprites that have easy, normal and hard spawns have three different values. The easy pointer value is largest, with normal and hard being ten less each, since the way the code is set up has the difficulty checks first. The difficulty check is usually a ten byte string $83 $3E $6F6CW $02\$03 $7D $03 $E9 $xxxxW This means roughly 'If the difficulty is equal or harder than this, jump over the 'do nothing' jump.' Normal difficulty is $02, Hard is $03. The check can be understood by looking at Patch:Jump conditions and Patch:Game stats.
The second things are sprite caches. When a sprite is spawned it often (But not always!) sets a value in memory to 1. This section of memory is then scanned and sprites cached off the sprite cache list. This is a five byte string $C7 $06 $C2xxW $0001W, where xx is different for each sprite cache.
The last call ($9A $xxxxxxxxRL) is the call to the actual spawning code. So for example Normal Keen calls $0AAF0000RL and $0CCB0007RL, with that second one being the code that spawns him. (The other one sets him as the player.) Again, some sprites are not spawned at all, but just sit there.
All jumps ($E9 $xxxxW or $EB $xx.) go to the 'B Block' code. (The B Block code is used for sprites that do nothing, however only the B Block sprite will stop platforms.) These will need to be adjusted if the code is copied somewhere else, for example to make a new sprite.

Spawn codes
These are spawn codes found in games. Unlike the initiation codes, they are standalone and can be swapped about and edited as desired. Notice that usually the very last variable set in Galaxy is the sprite action; in Vorticons it is the location of the sprite code and collision.
Depending on the spawn code, different things may happen. Many spawn codes are of the same basic size and structure, simply tweaking a few basic sprite properties such as foreground and sprite type.
The last blue highlighted value is the sprite action the sprite uses as it proceeds to act in-level. $C7 $47 $02 $xxxxW sets the sprite activity, $C7 $47 $06 $xxxxW sets the clipping, $C7 $07 $xxxxW sets the sprite type, $C7 $20 $xxxxW sets the foreground value. Some sprites also have $C7 $47 $40 $xxxxW set its strength. Finally $D3 $E0 $05 $xxxxW is how far down (Or more usually up) the sprite is spawned from where it is placed. This is necessary for sprites that walk on the ground as they can only be placed in the level at multiples of 16 pixels high while their actual height can be anything.
$C7 $47 $0E $xxxxW is the horizontal direction the sprite starts moving in, either $0001W (Facing right), $FFFFW (Facing left) or $0000W (Neither, never used.) $C7 $47 $10 $xxxxW is the vertical direction and works similarly. Some sprites have a probability check to determine which way they face this is always 50:50 (Though it needn't be.) and the code responsible for this is $9A $1D02002ARL $3D $0080W

Unused Platform cache
There is one unused sprite cache in Keen 5. It is a single animation in size and contains a small red platform. This is useful since it is not hard to expand it or use it for a totally unique sprite. It's call is $C29F.

Create space for new initiation code
These patches rearrange the existing initiation codes so that they are ore compact. This allows a modder to insert new code in the freed space. All the patches in this section can be combined to free up the maximum amount of space.
Compact Keen initiation method
This patch compacts the Left and right Keen initiation codes so they use the minimum amount of space. (This is possible because they both require similar code.) It frees space at $EEC5 for a 3-difficulty sprite or several non-difficulty sprites.
The patch is quite basic; in effect the Keen left code only sets Keen's direction before jumping to the Keen right code, leaving all its space free.

Compact Platform initiations method
This patch works by compacting the very similar Platform initiation codes (They all cache the same graphics.) This requires extensive reorganization but frees up a considerable amount of initiation space. (Specifically the space from $F05A-$0FA8 is freed.)

There are several things to note about the initiation codes. They are far more thorough than in Keen Vorticons. The first things to note are the difficulty checks. Those sprites that have easy, normal and hard spawns have three different values. The easy pointer value is largest, with normal and hard being ten less each, since the way the code is set up has the difficulty checks first. The difficulty check is usually a ten byte string $83 $3E $75A8W $02\$03 $7D $03 $E9 $xxxxW This means roughly 'If the difficulty is equal or harder than this, jump over the 'do nothing' jump.' Normal difficulty is $02, Hard is $03. The check can be understood by looking at Patch:Jump conditions and Patch:Game stats.
The second things are sprite caches. When a sprite is spawned it often (But not always!) sets a value in memory to 1. This section of memory is then scanned and sprites cached off the sprite cache list. This is a five byte string $C7 $06 $CDxxW $0001W, where xx is different for each sprite cache. As an example the Nospike's cache is $37, the Gik's is $39 (They are next to each other in the cache list, and thus differ by 2 in memory.) A fuller explanation of this is given at Patch:Sprite cache.
The last call ($9A $xxxxxxxxRL) is the call to the actual spawning code. So for example Nospike calls $10CC0005RL.
All jumps ($E9 $xxxxW or $EB $xx.) go to the 'B Block' code. (The B Block code is used for sprites that do nothing, however only the B Block sprite will stop platforms.) These will need to be adjusted if the code is copied somewhere else, for example to make a new sprite.

Spawn codes
These are spawn codes found in Keen 6. Unlike the initiation codes, they are standalone and can be swapped about and edited as desired. Notice that usually the very last variable set in Galaxy is the sprite action; in Vorticons it is the location of the sprite code and collision.
Depending on the spawn code, different things may happen. Many spawn codes are of the same basic size and structure, simply tweaking a few basic sprite properties such as foreground and sprite type.
The last blue highlighted value is the sprite action the sprite uses as it proceeds to act in-level. $C7 $47 $02 $xxxxW sets the sprite activity, $C7 $47 $06 $xxxxW sets the clipping, $C7 $07 $xxxxW sets the sprite type, $C7 $20 $xxxxW sets the foreground value. Some sprites also have $C7 $47 $40 $xxxxW set its strength. Finally $D3 $E0 $05 $xxxx is how far down (Or more usually up) the sprite is spawned from where it is placed. This is necessary for sprites that walk on the ground as they can only be placed in the level at multiples of 16 pixels high while their actual height can be anything.
$C7 $47 $0E $xxxxW is the horizontal direction the sprite starts moving in, either $0001W (Facing right), $FFFFW (Facing left) or $0000W (Neither, never used.) $C7 $47 $10 $xxxxW is the vertical direction and works similarly. Some sprites have a probability check to determine which way they face; this is always 50:50 (Though it needn't be.) and the code responsible for this is $9A $1CF30034RL $3D $0080W

Unused sprite cache
In Keen 6 there is one sprite cache not used by any sprites. This is given by $C7 $06 $CD17W $0001W and the following patch controls what sprites it contains (It contains none by default.):

#Unused sprite cache
%patch $3242A [$0000W] #Unused cache start
%patch $3247A [$0000W] #Unused cache end
Free space for new initiation codes
These patches rearrange the default initiation codes so that space is generated for custom sprite initiation codes. There are several options, more than one of which can be used together. These patches are incompatible with any initiation patches elsewhere on this page that also affect these sprites.
Compact Keen initiation method
This patch compacts the Left, right and map Keen initiation codes so they use the minimum amount of space. (This is possible because they all require similar code.) It frees space at $E4CE for a 3-difficulty sprite or several non-difficulty sprites. Note that the scorebox's cached graphic is marked in blue.

Compact Platform initiations method
This patch works by compacting the very similar platform initiation codes (They all cache the same graphics.) This requires extensive reorganization but frees up a considerable amount of initiation space.

This addition can be used if the Goplats are patched to only use 1 animation. (That is, without Bip riders.) This also frees up graphics and memory. The platform animation cached is highlighted in blue. (It is the same as the default here and marked in blue.) This addition can be added to the end of the above patch, replacing the last patch command.
