Fixed another typo, this time in the Event Gray Doors ASM. If you have an older version, it assembles all the same. The comments contradicted the readme.

(If you used an older forum version there is a typo on line 152. BEQ $24 should be BCC $24. My apologies.)

Based off of PHOSPHOTiDYL's hex edits to the boss bits as well the Use Ridley Everywhere resource (part of which is featured and credited.)

Credits to P.JBoy for the incredible Banklogs.

Credits to JAM because the Event Gray Doors work very closely to how his worked.

Instead of depending on the area boss bits to load and keep bosses from respawning, this uses Events determined by the Room Index.

HOW IT WORKS:

This allows for more flexibility in the location, and frequency of bosses. (You can have all of them in Crateria, or have duplicates of any bosses.)

The Vanilla area boss bits already take up a few events in the $0016-$00FF range (specific ones marked in the defines section and event bit array document.) With this system, you are less likely to accidentally mark a boss as defeated with an event plm.

This is intended to be used in conjunction with Nodever2's Torizo Speed resource.

Included is the "Event Gray Doors" resource:

EVENT GRAY DOORS:

Documentation is provided to make it work with Nodever2's Door Cap PLM Rewrite. If you set the gray door condition to "Main Boss for the Area is Dead," the door will only open when the Room Index event is set. If you set the gray door to "Etecoons/Dachora Saved" the door will open when the event matching the door's PLM argument is set.

(When you want to save the animals at the very end of the game, you make sure the door index is set to $000F.)

After testing this in the Cereth Invasion, I can say with reasonable certainty that you can use this system with the Vanilla boss icons. You must use the eight area specific events mentioned in the boss bit array for the icons to give you the desired results.
