Replaced the Dwarven Castle Ending map to the Pitch Black Room. After a bit of work-arounds I got it to look perfect.Alternatively you could use phoenix's map editor to change an unused part of an existing map into a copy of what you need and redirect the player there at the appropriate times... just throwing out ideas.That was actually the first thing I thought of.But I have no idea how to use Phoenix's map editor. I click the question mark in the upper-left hand corner and nothing pops up, so I don't receive the instructions.
If you'd like you can send me what you have and I can take a look at it.I'd really appreciate it if you did.
So far I've found Soma Drop's location... and within that given space another pattern emerged to show me the location of the Silver Apple (Golden is conspicuously missing...)
This was done with a simple breakpoint on Rydia's Max MP that when it was written to. I was taken to the end of an instruction block, but becoming more familiar with this game's programming I had a feeling I could simply trace backwards slightly and find it (or at least find another lead) and indeed I did. It was just in the basic instructions without any crazy jumps or loops like they did with healing items.
0x01A754 - Silver Apple's amount of HP Raising - 32 (50)
0x01A761 - Soma Drop's amount of MP raising. - 0A (10)
I'll see what's up with the Golden Apple if I can.
B1 60 18 69 64 00
0x01A73A - Golden Apple's amount of HP Raising 64 (100)
The aforementioned three are located in ROM at...
0xA93A - Golden Apple - 64 (100)
0xA954 - Silver Apple - 32 (50)
0xA961 - Soma Drop - 0A (10)
09 00 B1 60 18 69 64 00 - That 09 00 At least is telling the game to write to HP.
0D 00 B1 60 18 69 0A 00 - The 0D 00 is telling the game to write to MP.
If you look at normal character data...
09 of 40 Bytes is the Max HP Byte
0D of 40 Bytes is the Max MP Byte
So if my thoughts are correct you can increase any stat you like with these items. (If I'm not mistaken, maybe even change classes too) this will require some experimentation.
This does have very interesting applications if one wants to take the game in a new direction.... (Possibly, since it doesn't seem to kill Levels, have a set of 3 jobs you can change into at will.
And even better because the game gives two bytes for these to play around with you can change Class and Character without any ill side effects (well they'll have the stats and equipment of the person they switched from, since you are changing only two bytes) but they'll have their own abilities at least. However the problem that you may have noticed by now is something I didn't take into account. It only increments, it doesn't set a value. Now there may be a way to change that, but as of now I could see these items as only working towards "class upgrades" or some such.
0D 00 B1 60 18 69 0A 00 - All you have to do is change 60 to 00. That will get rid of the Increment and the game will read it as an overwrite. Now you can choose whichever 3 classes you like and switch to them freely (It should be noted that all that will accomplish is changing Sprite, commands, and available Equips,(possibly Level Ups as well, I haven't tested that) however you will still be equipped with whatever you had originally, (So say you wanted to change Cecil into a Mage, he would still be equipped with all of the Dark Knight gear if you used this method) Also there is no way (without making a special event place for it) for the game to know who belongs to what class. So if you use... Let's say a Mage book on Yang. That will be Yang, from now on, even if you only planned on having it be given to Cecil.
Really this plan works out Marvelously for a Solo Mod, but when there's a party involved, yeah... things get messy. However you can still increase any basic stat you would like with this, just use... http://rb.thundaga.com/ and JCE's hacking document to change the stat you want to increase or set.
However I looked up how the game puts various equipment on. The breakable bit, as earlier mentioned, does work for non-arrow items, but the issue is that the game will only ever equip one of an item on. But every inventory slot has an extra byte which would be used for diminishing uses of an item and setting that to 2 or above will show a plain number next to the item. This leads me to believe that it is looking at an index for the Arrows specifically, but if that range can be expanded to all weapons, well there might be an interesting game...
I think you'll like this one, PinkPuff (for data purposes, I can't see too many people really making use of it's potential)
No tricks here, just a little simple hacking (just one byte change actually)
I was encountering difficulty discovering where the game was looking to decide whether to add a whole stack or just one to weapon counters, I then eventually found the start of the process at 0x01C12E I was at first searching for BNE (Break if Not Equals) since I thought that would be the defining amount and was indeed looking for item 54, which is Iron Arrows. Lo and behold it seems I was looking for CMP (Compare Accumulator with Memory) and noticed that 54. I changed it to 00 and every weapon (and only weapons) equipped
became equipped in bunches. Which means that my Shadow Sword experiment from way back finally succeeded and you can make SaGa-esque weaponry now!
Down the line I would like to try to make it to where using the weapon as an item would consume it. But that's that! I think with this you have a reason to include the "Break if used" byte included on weapons.
The byte is contained at
0x01C234 in RAM and in ROM at...
0xC434 Just change the 54 to whatever index you like and the items will be equipped in bunches.
Hopefully I can find the mystery to Two-Handed ness as well soon.
01B27F - C9 0E - CMP 0E - Checking to see what spells are past value 0E (Cure1)
01B283 - C9 13 - CMP 13 - Life1?
01B52E - C9 0E - CMP 0E - Start of Index of usable Spells outside of battle.
01B532 - C9 1C - CMP 1C - End of Index of usable Spells (Using spells outside of their intended range tends to have glitchy and game crashing effects)
01B539 - C9 12 - CMP 12 - Can be used while a Toad/Pig outside of battle- Esuna
01B54B - C9 19 - CMP 19 - Can be used while a Toad outside of battle - Toad
01B559 - C9 1A - CMP 1A - Can be used while a Pig outside of battle - Pig
01B570 - C9 16 - CMP 16 - Appears to be the "instant cast" of the Spell Number corresponding to Exit. Changing this alone will not change the Spell Number of Exit's effect however.
01B574 - C9 17 - CMP 17 - As above, but in regards to Sight.
01B578 - C9 1B - CMP 1B - Spell Number which corresponds to the Warp Event-----------------------------0x8260 - 03
0x8264 - 87 (Event Number corresponding to Warp)
0x8269 - 04
0x826D - 86 (Event Number corresponding to Exit)
0x8272 - 05
0x8276 - FB (Event Number corresponding to Sight)
0x827B - 06
0x827F - 01 (?? Siren ??)
0x8286 - DB (Event Number corresponding to Magazine)(Wow, this is Early in ROM!)
0x464 - 87 (Event Number corresponding to Warp)
0x469 - 04
0x46D - 86 (Event Number corresponding to Exit - Emergency Exit)
0x472 - 05
0x476 - FB (Event Number corresponding to Sight - Dwarves' Bread)
0x47B - 06
0x47F - 01 (?? Siren ??)
0x486 - DB (Event Number corresponding to MagazineI think I found it. E7 - B6 = 31, the number of Imp, E8 - B6 = 32, the number of Bomb, E9 - B6 = 33, the number of Roc, EA - B6 = 34, the number of Mage.
What we were looking for this whole time was B6, not 31. Quite a bit of clever space saving on their part.
This is located in RAM at 0x1A892
And in ROM at... 0xAA92 - B6 85 (SBC B6)
This is quite unfortunate though. You can only have the four spells be spells that come in sequence. However this does free up four Summon Skill slots and allows players to learn some unique spells if they put their starting point in the Monster Spells portion...
Remember that it is normally E7,E8,E9,EA - B6, you change B6, do a little bit of Hex Math and you can decide where you want the four to go.
This was quite tricky to find, but in reality was staring me in the face for a while. I just did not realize that it was a -B6 we were searching for. The game makes a lot of references to Address 0x145, which is where starting addresses are placed, I followed that to 0x1A893 as I noticed the 1031 had been added at that time, but by that time it was too late in the sequence to search for it. So I chanced it by using the hex right before it 0x1A891 and there I saw a SEQ B6. I was very confused about what this had to do anything, then I realized that it may not be as simple as finding an elusive digit. This is ASM after all and hardly anything is that straight forward. Then I saw that right before this was the item reference of E7. Finally I came to the conclusion that they may be related, SBC meant to subtract something, put it in the calculator E7 - B6 did indeed equal 31. Everything made sense from there.
