8th Playable Character Possible?! (Updating!)

[justin3009]

Altered all of those bytes, and after the title sequence, everything is black screen of death XD

[Mauron]

Not sure what caused that. It works fine for me.

Maybe it just hates you.

[Vehek]

Mauron, the offsets you gave point to the ASM commands that load the memory/data, not the pointers the code loads.

[Mauron]

Oops. I copied down the line the breakpoints spit out and didn't change it later. I'll fix that now.

The last one is still accurate though. That section is just data.

[justin3009]

I've been seriously having the worst luck with this lately xD

0CF84D - Can't you just change 80 to 2A?  From what i've seen, there are no complications from doing that..

Edit: Fixed one problem.

[Vehek]

I don't know...
By using Geiger's debugger, I've found that's the beginning of the data that turned the character into a bunch of hands when Mauron messed with 0CF867.

[justin3009]

yay!

Edit: BTW, Mauron, what were you trying to accomplish in that area?  I completely forgot...

Edit 2: Here's an IPS Patch with everything up to date.  EXCEPT the stuff that Mauron posted last page...That seems to kill my rom every damn time.

Edit 3: Gold and Time do not display correctly in the save sequence because I am not able to modify the bytes listed by Mauron.

Have you tried using the adjusted offsets?

[justin3009]

Yes.  I got the gold and time to appear correctly in the menu now, but not in the Save Menu.  I figured out which offset was being retarded.

02F14A - it's set to 00 00, if I try altering that, it'll destroy stats/time showing up in the menu.  That's why everything was messed up.  I musta not edited something and that's why it's being weird..

[Mauron]

I was having trouble with gold and time displaying in the save menu too, and I'm not sure where the problem came from. What was showing up for you? Mine was an odd value for both that didn't seem to be stored anywhere.

When I messed with the byte that got the hands, it was with displaying 8th in battle. I wasn't sure what Vehek had altered to get it working, so I did things randomly.

My computer just recovered from a major problem (C: Drive unreadable), so it might be a bit before I get back to working on this. It depends on what, if anything, remains damaged.

[justin3009]

The time is set to 99:59 and the gold is set to 0

[Mauron]

I get the same time, but 3158820 gold.

Does it load the data properly for you? It does for me.

[justin3009]

Yep, it loads it up fine.

[Vehek]

There're some 552C's that also need to be changed (to 3729 I think).
Check near the offsets Mauron posted on the last page.

[justin3009]

Yea I noticed that...I wans't sure if that would have changed anything.  I experimented with it but nothing changed.
