8th Playable Character Possible?! (Updating!)

[Mauron]

I noticed that problem last night, and posted something on it.

0CE61D - First letter. Set to 0029
0CE623 - Second letter. Set to 0129
0CE629 - Third letter. Set to 0229
0CE62F - Fourth letter. Set to 0329
0CE635 - Fifth letter. Set to 0429

0CE60E needs to be 06.

How did you make that change?

Animation blinking because I was experimenting with altering animations...I think it's screwing with techs because the 8th character is in party.  I'll check that out.

Edit: Yep it freaks out because 8th character is in party.  That's why Crono's tech learning is weird.

How did you make that change?

You mean getting the 8th character's name to show up in battle? I relocated the data at 0CF846 to another location and added an 8th byte to the new location. And I changed the code to make it load from that new location of couse.

[Mauron]

That's what I was wondering.

I'm not clear on what that data is, but I've found it can change targeting and appearance of party members and allies.

[Vehek]

I can't see how changing the data at 0CF846 would do those things...
It's used with the routines (e.g. LDA $2C23,x) to load the letters of the name.

[Mauron]

I wasn't sure what everything in that area was, so I started playing around with it. Probably not the best plan of attack. <_<

Setting 0CF867 to C6 turned the eighth character into four yellow hands for me.

[Vehek]

That's a bit further in. The data I moved covers only 0CF846-0CF84C.

[Mauron]

Gotcha. Tried a little and may have figured it out.

Still, it was funny to see the oddities.

- How nice

[Mauron]

What did you do to that one?

[justin3009]

CF837 = 05

[Mauron]

I found the save problem.

3FFA7B   3FFAA2   DATA   N   "Memory addresses and lengths of save data to copy (5 bytes each, 8 total)"   

Currently this loads gold as well as the now blank names, so we'll either have move gold storage or move this information in order to add another address.

[Mauron]

I moved the gold to 7E2935, the altered data's equivalent of where it used to be.

The following need to be set to 3529:

01D0AD
01D0B4
01D08F
01D0F8
01D11C
02997B
02F14A
02FCD1
02FDBF
02FDC6

I updated the necessary save data here:

3FFA80 - 00297E39

The gold and time display wrong, but load properly.

Edit: Changed my error in the instructions, probably what screwed Justin up.

[justin3009]

How come everytime I alter something I kill the rom -_-..

[Mauron]

What happened?
