OK....I really wanna know how to do this...
« on: July 22, 2009, 12:45:01 AM »
Hey guys I know its been a good while since u all heard from me

I noticed u guys were working on a small (but in my opinion a very important) tweak

its the one when you get to the WOR and after u get the Falcon

you guys fixed it so that when you get off the Falcon the music goes back to the original WOR theme

how the hell did u guys do that? lol

Open up the EE disassembly and scroll down until the EE/8390 range. :wink:

what I want to know

is how do I go about keeping this song after you get the airship and let it play when u disembark the Falcon

I suppose I have myself to blame for not explaining. EE/8393 is the theme you'll hear before you get the airship (like that comment says). EE/8394 is the theme you'll hear after you get the airship (like that comment says). It appears you want Dark World to keep playing, so try changing the 4C to 4F?

Hey Poco, let me know if that works. I didn't realize it was *yet another* bug, so if that works I'll definitely include that in the patch I'm working on.

I'm almost at the point where you get the Falcon in my playthrough, so if this hasn't been tested in the next day or so I'll try it out.

Any hex editor will work, so long as it edits and saves in binary (which all of them do).

That's arguable.  I'm pretty sure it was intended, because
1.)  The general feeling changes from despair to hope at that point
2.)  It's nice not having the jarring music change back and forth when you get on and off the airship (the same reason I removed battle music from certain areas in my old hack)
3.) The Falcon music owns

But hey, it's your hack :-)

well yea I see what u mean bro and honestly I completely understand and agree with your point of view

but 1 of the real reasons is that it kinda makes no sense that when u got on the blackjack the music changed, so why not in the WOR as well ;)

but I kinda feel that its appropriate too just off the fact that the world DID change and although the team has hope, unfortunately that isn't the case with the rest of the world @ that point

That was the way I was looking at it, was that it changed in the WoB, and the Falcon may represent hope but the rest of the world was still in despair.

But you're right, it's definitely debatable on whether it was a bug or not. I haven't had a chance to do much work on the hack lately due to work.

Absolutely.

Now, I'm stuck. I've tried everything I can think of to find the offset for the music, but I'm missing something. And I've tried searching for the hex, like for the "ADF611" at EE/839F, and it takes me to $2E023A, but I'm not sure how to parse the disassembly line and compare it to the raw hex to make sure I found the right spot.

I've tried looking for a doc that could help translate the bank offset to the hex offset (am I even using the right terms??) Help, please!   :blits:

EE/839F is an LDA $11F6. To get from CPU address to hex offset, simply subtract 0xC00000 from the address (HiROM only). EE/839F would be at 0x2E839F, all you need to do then is account for header (add 0x200 if one exists).

Thanks, Leno! You guys are the best!

OK, I've added that change, and as soon as I do some troubleshooting on an unrelated problem I've exposed, I'll let you know how it turns out!

EDIT: Worked like a charm!  "Dark World" plays while you're walking around, and when you get on the Falcon "Searching for Friends" starts up. Nice! Thanks so much, guys, on behalf of myself and Poco!
