Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

Though since you can't really do anything with that, the answer still pretty much stays at ASM.

You can use the <CMP command tile to move spike tiles around the map actually, if you really, really wanted to get creative.

 

It would need to be done through ASM, yes. The game by default bypasses any damage during TSC (script) events.

oh, okay. ill try to change it later, if i can.

anyways, i have another quick question: is there a way to get an endless bute generator, like in the heavy press fight?

 

I'm going to assume you already have ANP.txt. To accomplish what you want, use <ANPXXXX:YYYY:ZZZZ. XXXX = Curly's event #, YYYY = 0003 which is the number for Curly walking forward, and ZZZZ = direction. Follow that up by <WAIXXXX, where XXXX is how long you want Curly to move forward for. Then use <ANP again but change YYYY to 0000 to stop the animation. I explained it in detail just to be sure you understand.

Thanks! you really helped me!




Oh, and there is one more thing I need to know, how can I switch The characters of the player? (Like Quote and the mimiga mask).

Use the <EQ+XXXX and <EQ-XXXX commands to equip and unequip the Mimiga Mask, where XXXX = 0064. This might help you in the future.

 

thanks!!!!

 

how to make enamies always drop small exp crystals?

 

how to make enamies always drop small exp crystals?

edit the npc.tbl through Boosters Lab or some other npc.tbl editor

it will say XP and you can change the value to the amount you wish.

 

I think he meant they should only drop small ones (1xp), not 5 or 20xp.

 

I'm 90% sure that's not possible without ASM

I'm also 90% sure that you only have to remove a JGE somewhere in the code as well.

trying to think if it would be in the NPC or in the leveling up system itself....

I couldn't really make much sense of it, but it might help.
If it doesn't help, feel free to criticize me as much as you want.

Does anyone know the assembly offset for the air tank?

 

How do you change the game's icon? I know HOW physically, but how do you make a .ico file?

 

How do you change the game's icon? The one with Quote and the Japanese characters on it.

Well use this site (http://www.rw-designer.com/image-to-icon) after you got the image you want to convert to icon format. Then run resource hacker, open your doukutsu.exe, and click on "Icon Group" then click "0" then "1041" then left click and replace it with your icon. Or make it from scratch using this.(http://www.rw-designer.com/online_icon_maker.php)

Make an Image that's 32x32 or whatever...

Then use http://www.icoconverter.com/‎.

(Or through Gimp If you want a pure conversion.)

 

Bit curious - is there a way to change the layering for the guns and such so they'd be in front of the character rather than behind?

 

Sorry to disturb again, but how do you change the font color?

 

(oh boy here we go)

the font color is decided in three different places.

CPU Disasm
Address Hex dump Command Comments
00414219 |. 68 5AF8AD00 PUSH 0ADF85A ; |Arg4 = 0ADF85A

CPU Disasm
Address Hex dump Command Comments
004253AD |. 68 5AF8AD00 PUSH 0ADF85A ; |Arg4 = 0ADF85A

CPU Disasm
Address Hex dump Command Comments
0042549A |. 68 5AF8AD00 PUSH 0ADF85A ; |Arg4 = 0ADF85A

there.

 

So I should change all of them?
