Arrangement Data For Menu And Battle

[Mauron]

Er.  I tried patching it and it doesn't do anything at all XD

I blame a lack of sleep last night. >_>

HERE'S the working patch. No weird glitches, tested it myself.

Third time's the charm, right?

Edit: I hid a free source of Elixirs on the sign at the south entrance of Guardia Forest.

Also, I found the change to get MP Cost looking right. Change 3FC858-3FC869 to AC AF EF B4 CC BE BD FF 06 5E 0D 03 90 98 19 7E 00 00.

Nice job, we've got battle working perfectly now.

As for menus, $C2/F14C seems to be the last place that both bytes of MP are read. Unfortunately my ASM skills aren't up to the point of changing this.

[Mauron]

Double post,

3FC5E2 - 22
3FC5E8 - 22
3FC7FE - 22
3FC84F - 22
3FC855 - 22

We had altered those to 25, which apparently caused it to cap at 255. Setting them to 22 makes it cap at 999. (It's more likely that it caps at 65535, but doesn't display right at that point.)

The *only* issue left is using an Elixir doesn't display all three digits.

- Well, that's different.

Edit: Are battle gauge 1/2 related to each other in data?  I want to change only Battle Gauge 1's data to bump over the MP one?

Hot damn! I presume this will let you use the full names for equipment used in the DS version?

[justin3009]

Possibly.  We'd have to do A LOT of re-arranging on the menus.  For the main one, If we can find everything, We'll have to nudge the entire menu to the far left and then extend it to the far right so it has a lot of room.  Then bump the item names against the wall.  If we did that and got it working correctly, we'd be able to have 17 letter item names.

That's some superb work! Can you make multiple-rowed item descriptions, also?
