I went into a link FaustWolf sent in the DarkSerge topic (GSHI), and I looked up Chrono Trigger and found this.
NOTE THIS IS FOR THE PSX VERSION!!
But, I have found the name modifiers for CT.

You can change the name of characters you haven't named yet. For example, you can change Magus's name to say, Ace, and any mention of Magus will say Ace instead.
The sixth character might not show up in some menus, but in dialog it will.

[Buy, Sell, Equip, Can be used] are all odd. Each digit listed for them is part of the word, but not exactly one letter.
There's probably more valid digits that do something, but I'm not really willing to go through about 120 digits to find what might not be there.
I don't have the PSX version of Chrono Trigger, but maybe someone can test this out? If this is true..then does that mean we could possibly look into the PSX version of CT and find what allows it to have 6 characters in dialogue?
-
Character 6 in the SNES version is used for the null space.
So, in the PSX version, it'll load that sixth character?
...I've only done that in the SNES version through a some ASM hacking.
Edit-Some pictures I just took.

O_O..Hmm..Well I knew the void thing but...I'm not quite experienced with ASM hacking so I couldn't even try to mess with texdt hacking... I just tested the PSX one and it does work except for the whole strange menu thing. And yes, it does load the 6th character up. Hang on I'll get some screenshots
Edit; Screenies below
Edit 2: Is it possible to somehow...hack some of the other CT music from the pSX into the SNES rom?...

Think you can make a patch? some of my characters in my hack have 6 letter names outside of the menu, but shorter names in the menu.
-
If I knew where to start on this I'd work on it as well..You'd have to have the 6th letter show up in 3 menus, dialogue and battles...No clue how hard that would be.
-
Uh...what I did was just a 1-byte hack.
Change the byte at 25D50 to 06. I'm not sure how well this works; the first time I tried it, I got a lot of text errors when printing most of the characters' names.
-
It works in the string, but it doesn't show in the menu or Battle. know where this is stored at?
-
Ah...Well the BEST limit is 06 and it seems to work out fine right now. Only issues is that it doesn't show up in menus or battle. I'm guessing that the things that control that are probably near this one. I've tried changing like 3 bytes foward and backwards of it but if you change 1 number the whole game crashes if yo go anywhere that mentions their name on the map
-
What I modified is part of the "Subroutine used for displaying PC, Epoch, CronoNick name" listed in Geiger's Offsets Guide.
-
028869 is set to 06
you change it to 07 then the game will start displaying the other characters name at the 8th chracter instead of the 7th chracter in menus only.
-
If you do that and then check the menu, every character will have 1 letter less in their name, and Epoch's name will be all screwed up.
-
That could be fixed you know. :P
-
Shinrin and I are guessing that we have to find the menu text routines or something for it to show the 6th letter..

3FC5BF - How many letters appear in Menu (Gets rid of 1 ><) It's E0 change it to E1 and it subtracts the first letter but scrolls to the next. So my reasoning here is that the 6th letter IS actually showing up in the menu it's just the blank space after the name is actually data and is blocking the letter from actually showing up...So probably have to find a way to make it empty space or at least a place holder for letters.
Edit: 3FC5C1 - This controls the space between a hero's name and LV...So maybe we have to mess around with this or something in this general area.
Edit 2: 3FC5BE-3FC5C1 - This is the general area of the name and LV AKA Crono LV** I'm coming to believe that there maybe a routine in the menu that reads the whole character name but displays the first 5 then the next block is just empty space, then it does anotoher character routine...hmm
-
I've got the PSX version, and same as before, only five letters are available. I know, because yesterday I started a new game + (refamiliarizing myself with the enemies), and I was able to successfully name Marle "Mario", Lucca "Velma", Frog "Cyrus", and Robo "R-66Y" (Yes, I LOVE screwing watching my naming masterpiece as I laugh hilariously at the dialogue)
When I get to Ayla I'll name her Kino, and Maybe I'll name Magus "Lavos". Yeah... point is though, it was a perfect fit. That's all I could get in.
-
You have to use gameshark in order to get the 6th letter in. The thing that's different from PSX and SNES is that the PSX actually shows the letter in save menus and some other stuff.

From my experimenting, it seems 3FC5BF is part of a larger piece of data. The range 3FC5BE-3FC5C1 has three different parts from what I can tell.
3FC5BE seems to identify it as some form of memory pointer.
3FC5BF-3FC5C0 is the pointer itself. That's why changing it to E1 cuts off the first letter, E2 cuts off two, etc.
3FC5C1 is just a separator.
3FC5C2-3FC5C5 is the same format, but different data. This has the LV information in it.
3FC5C2 seems to identify it as a data pointer.
3FC5C3-3FC5C4 is the pointer itself, to 3Fxxxx.
3FC5C5 is another separator.
I think displaying the 6th character requires something changed elsewhere.
Edit: It seems there's a second list of pointers for the menu. I tried moving Crono's name to 7E2D71 to see if having a 00 after it made a difference. After adjusting the name pointer, it gave me the new name on the text screen but the old name on the menu.
-
Nice job! We're going to need all the help we can get to accomplish this stuff.
-
The meaning of 05E09A is probably the key to getting this to work.
I saw it in three other places, and I found what two were.
3FC538 - Name near picture.
3FC7DF - Name at save text.
3FC82B - ???
The 0x at the beginning seems to identify it as one of a variety of things. 04 is a pointer to a section in the 3Fxxxx, 01 is the next piece of text, and 08 is spacing.
I'm thinking 03 might be a numeric value and 05 is a string, but if that's the case we'll need to find another area to set the length.
-
3FC82B - This seems to effect the Tech menu's name shownig.
-
One step closer. :D
05E09A - This code points to memory location 7E9AE0, the currently selected character on a menu screen. I'm guessing all 05 uses in this section do the same.
Changing 05 to 06 does not allow 6 characters, unfortunately.
Edit: 03xxxx also seems to be a pointer to the 7Exxxx memory, but for numbers instead of letters.
-
Baby steps ^^
-
I could use a hand tracking down the other functions that deal with these values.
02EF80 is the subroutine that sets the name for the current character on the menu. It falls in a section listed as unknown routines the offsets guide.
If anyone could match the functions with the value stored in memory at 7e9axx, particularly experience and the amount needed for the next level, it would be a great help.
A similar task for weapon or tech names (any string longer than 5 letters) would help too.
I am worried the lack of a 00 byte after the name could lead to some unexpected behavior, but if necessary I have semi-successfully moved those values into unused space.
-
Idk if this is what you got, but I modified a byte and it showed the 6th letter here, but it removed the weapon lsitings and glitched ._.
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Which byte? I haven't done that one before.
-
I'd have to go through ti again, i quickly changed it back as it killed the menu xd
-
2EF92 - C6 change to C7
-
Thanks. I'll play around with that. It's definitely something.
I wonder why it didn't change the name on the character selection part... or if it did originally.
-
I think altering the next byte also does it, but then the spacing is horrid.
-
!! Update !!
02F042 - Shows 6th Letter in Menu Screen when set to 06
(http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/1974/chronotriggerfreshromunjp3.png) - =]
Edit: =] (http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/7527/chronotriggertispriteupcf7.png) 02E338 - Change to 06 and you can write the 6th letter...but it won't save
Edit 2: 02E3DA - Change to 06 and it will show the 6th letter in dialogue and you can name it - IT WORKS FULLY! 6TH LETTER IS ALMOST OPERATIONAL DX
Edit 3: You must edit temporal flux and change the letter after crono's from 06 to FF, otherwise it'll freak out.

Here's everything up to date

Here's the things missing
====================
Does not show up in side bar(http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/2923/chronotriggertispriteupxq0.png) - The empty block of data was ignoring the 6th letter at 3FC5C1 = FF. Change that to 01 and it'll push it down a line and show the 6th letter....we might have to possibly bump LV over in hopes of it to show 6th letter.
Does not show up in character select
Does not show up in saves
Does not show up battle
====================
Once these are fixed, i'll put everything into a fresh CT rom and ips patch it for everyone.
You must edit temporal flux and change the letter after EVERYONES from 00 to FF, otherwise it'll freak out.[/u]
For the lazy, here you go A2CBC8C7C8FFACBACBC5BEFFABCEBCBCBAFFB1C8BBC8FFFFA5CBC8C0FFFFA0D2C5BAFFFFACBAC0CECCFFA4C9C8BCC1FF
-
Whoa, seriously awesome.
- The naming screen seems to just need repositioning. It has 12 letters per line now, so I doubt that it will be possible to get it back the way it was.
- I think it's possible to move LV over by itself. Change that to "L" and there shouldn't be spacing issues.
- JLucas posted something on copying names for battle, which included the letters copied.
Almost there. :D
-
Actually, that naming sceren thing was something i was messing with. It's fixed. I also tried moving level over...still doesn't work. I've tried everything pretty much and I can't get it ><

-
What did you do to get the triangles over the sixth character? It's not doing that for me.
On the plus side, the display in the side boxes doesn't look too bad.
It's not showing on the tech screen for me. Does it work there for you?
Edit: This topic could use a new title.
-
02E351 - Set to 06 and it will scroll to 6th letter when naming
02F042 - Shows 6th Letter in Menu Screen when set to 06
02E338 - Change to 06 and you can write the 6th letter...but it won't save
02E3DA - Change to 06 and it will show the 6th letter in dialogue and you can name it
-
Ah, that first one wasn't posted before.

Update:
This is the code that copies the name from memory to the value stored in battles.

As it is now, we can't just add the last character. Maybe someone could rewrite it to copy the whole name at once instead of one letter at a time?
-
I realized, if we get 6 letters to appear in battle, would it overlap the battle gauge on Gauge #2? Or would it bump it over 1...If not, I think we'd have to find the x coordinates of the 2nd battle gauge and bump it over one.
-
There's more than that going on in the code.

E616 grabs the index of where the name is stored in memory (a multiple of 6). If you guys are still null terminating the strings for a total of 7 characters, these will have to be updated.
E645 moves the storage address by 05. E64B checks for a total of 0F characters.
I looked ahead a bit in the code, and it looks like after this loop finishes, another loop copies the work from this one into another set of addresses.
What I am trying to point out here is to look at what all of the code is doing, not just the part that comes up first. Seeing the whole picture can give you a better plan of attack.
Now there are a number of ways this loop could be rewritten, here is one.

I have already checked, and changing the value at E629 to 0005 (and the loop ending values also) will not be enough to get you 6 letters in battle. You'll need to figure out the rest from here.

E616 grabs the index of where the name is stored in memory (a multiple of 6). If you guys are still null terminating the strings for a total of 7 characters, these will have to be updated.
We're not, unless it becomes necessary. Doing so would require moving either the gold value or the names themselves, both of which have hard coded values throughout the code.
E645 moves the storage address by 05. E64B checks for a total of 0F characters.
I looked ahead a bit in the code, and it looks like after this loop finishes, another loop copies the work from this one into another set of addresses.
7E94A0 is the new location.
What I am trying to point out here is to look at what all of the code is doing, not just the part that comes up first. Seeing the whole picture can give you a better plan of attack.
Thanks for the code. I'm not that good at ASM yet, so I only found the obvious.

I have already checked, and changing the value at E629 to 0005 (and the loop ending values also) will not be enough to get you 6 letters in battle. You'll need to figure out the rest from here.
It's not enough, but it is necessary. Changing it copies a sixth byte to the 9403 area, but not 94A0.
It goes from 7E9403 to 7E94A0, and then 7E9412, which is the final storage. For whatever reason it needs to go through 7E94A0 to be stored at 7E9412 (Probably some code I'm missing).
It looks like it spaces them out for each name, but only stores the ones in the party, and doesn't leave extra space at the moment.
Edit: fixed up my quote errors.
-
Hmm, what reason would there be for special checks for Frog and Magus?
-
E616 grabs the index of where the name is stored in memory (a multiple of 6). If you guys are still null terminating the strings for a total of 7 characters, these will have to be updated.
Why can't you just do LDA #$00 STA $9408,Y after the new letter gets copied over?
-
Could I request a little help?
x3FC5BE - This is where the name starts
x3FC5C2 - This is where Lv** starts
Name Pointer is at:
x3FC4D8 - BE C5 FF
I've removed one letter of Lv** to be so that Lv is just 1 letter.
I'm trying to alter the name so that it'll show the 6th letter in the menu but i'm having serious issues with this...I just can't get it to work ><.
-
I fiddled with this once before and came up with this much.
3FC4ED - The actual LV text
3FC5C2 is a pointer to 3FC4ED, with 04 being code of one form or another.
-
Yea, I got the same results. I've been trying to mess with that but no matter what setting FF to 00 is always gonna mess everything up. So confusing =[
-
Changing 3FC5C3 to EE and 3FC4EE to AB will get it to display the L (level number) as it does LV (level number), but doesn't change the layout issue.
Maybe there's positioning information we should look for?
-
Double post for new information.
3FC7E2 - Set to 01 to get the sixth letter displayed, with the same push down issue as the side menu.
-
Ya, I got as far as pushing it down 1 line...I've even repointed the name data to another part of the rom and it STILL freaks out...hmph
-
If I had to guess, I'd say something causes it to wrap after a certain length.
How have you tracked down the menu arrangement data you've posted? That might be the next step for this.
-
I asked Geiger about the menu data and I went off from there
Yes, but you will have to do some experimenting. In general, code from bank $02 (which includes the main menu, shops, etc.) uses data from bank $3F.
The data (or at least some of it) that you are looking for should be between 3FB518 and 3FC456.

Ok, that's what I had started fiddling with earlier. So far what I did was mostly trial and error, which proved quite limiting.
Battle needs some more ASM hacking to work properly, but I haven't found where exactly to start pasting in the code (What Geiger posted earlier should work again, but trying to skip the step didn't work for some reason).
-
This is what I've got for the battle menu so far:
(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff83/TtravelrKev/ChronoTriggerUSA_00000.png)
It doesn't work so well; if you have a second PC, then the 2nd PC's name will overwrite the sixth letter!

...That is very awkward.

The o located over C in the picture above is a feature of the Japanese version for displaying certain characters.

It looks like it works fine, after changing the V to an L.
I used it as a breakpoint for the save menu and it loads there, but I can't find where it gets the Y value.
-
It looks like it starts with the name, at 3FC7DF. The Y value for that is at 3FC485.
-
That explains why I couldn't find it. I was looking for E3C7 (Where the level text is), not E0C7. Somewhere Y must be increased by 3 after loading it there.
-
There's another pointer to 3FC4ED at 3FC830. I know for sure that this one's used for the tech menu.

Here's a patch of what we have for the 6th letter.
Note: DO NOT APPLY THIS TO ANY ROM THAT HAS THE 8TH CHARACTER PATCH. IT WILL NOT WORK.
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Job well done, guys! Just being able to input "Schala" properly is well worth the effort you've put into this.
-
(http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/8605/chronotriggertispriteuppv6.png) - Just testing 7 letter names. Kinda funny how buggy it is. It does look like the menu was suppose to only have 6 letters. Only thing is I bumped everyones name up one so Marle's would start at 2A2C which would allow Crono to be ChronoA. (A is game genied) So when I did that, it showed up in dialogue but...it would not show up in menus. Even if you changed E0 to E1, it removed a letter but refused to show the next. So it's not being written properly in some areas it seems like.
Edit: Interesting. Okay so once again Marle started at 2A2C which makes 23-29 all of Crono's. 23 24 25 26 27 28 29, aka 7 bytes. I set his name to C r o n o FF FF and it worked fine. Then something went weird. I set it to C r o n o A A, the A showed up perfectly in dialogue, both of them...but it made Marle's name Aarle. How does that work? I bumped her name up so..pretty strange.
-
Wonderful patch!
Thanks everybody! I love Chrono Compendium!!! :D
-
you have to find the pointers where it reads the characters name, and change them by 1.. also, you can't give epoch a 6 letter name. that's capped at 5 no matter what you do.
Ok, epoch is capped at 6 not 5, but can't have 7 letters.
-
It is possible to have 7 letters but..you really need to mess with ALOT of stuff.
-
It was already stated via ASM, but the hex address for letters 1-5 are at 0CE665.
0CE68D = 37F8CC Pointer bytes
0CF83F - In battle name
0CF846 - In battle name again?
3FF8CC Pointer
I'm keeping track of all the pointers here.
0CE694 - Change to A1 and it removes 1st letter but doesn't show 6th.
0CE697 - Change to 11 and it removes 1st letter but doesn't show 6th.
*0CE69C - Change to 06 and it'll load 6th letter but won't show (?). I'm not sure on this..but I think that's what it does.
-
I think part of why it isn't showing the 6th letter is because it isn't copied during the code I posted earlier.
-
More then likely. The code for the 6th letter isn't even there from what I saw (in the hex)
-
I've taken a look at the battle code, and it copies things around a few times before finishing.
This is the original code for part of the copying, starting at CCE5A1.

CCE568 seems to have more copying code.
Confusing.
-
Ok, I *think* I've found all the places names are stored at one point or another during the battle loading.
7E9403
7E9430
7E94A0
7E94C0
7E948F
7E9412
It seems that 7E9412 is the key one. Nothing else is read after the battle begins.
No clue as to why it shifts around so much.
-
Triple post, but I've got the sixth letter displaying in battle! :)
C10316 - Change to 06 to display 6th letter!
C10339 - Change to 04 so the first letter of the next name doesn't appear above it.
Three problems with this:
- It still doesn't copy the name - right now you have to edit the value starting at 7E9412 to see this in action.
- The active character's name will still show the sixth letter in gray.
- Battle mode two doesn't display it at all.
Still, one big part out of the way.
Edit: Fixed the location of the second change. It was one byte off before.
Edit 2: Frog and Magus's names don't display properly, they become rog and agus.
-
I see...We'll need to bump this thread up again and get it working xD
Edit: Are you sure those work? It refuses to display the 6th character yet even load it up in battle.
Edit 2: Idiocy, yes you are right.
Edit 3: If you set C10322 to 9C, the 6th letter isn't grayed out anymore =]
Edit 4: Holy shit it's been a long time since i've done this. Does anyone remember the values for stuff? Does 0 = C, 1 = D, 2 = E, and 3 = F?
Edit 5: C10339 - This should be 03. If it's 04, the characters next name appears above the first one, and it blends in sometimes. Change it to 03 to solve that. Actually, change it to 01 02 or 03. Any of those values work.
-
I just tried your changes, and both Marle and Crono's names were staying white the whole battle.
-
Ugh..right blah
-
Double post. Data at 0CE665 has the 1-5th letter. Maybe if we can repointer that area to empty space, we can add the 6th letter.
-
Triple Post: Kind of an out of place post, but maybe someone should Sticky this and the 8th character threads. They're both gigantic add-ons to CT and I think it'd be kinda nice incase people want to try them.
(Yes same post in 2 different topics)
-
...Quad post: Not much but here's the values for the pre-release

02EC21 - Shows 6th Letter in Menu Screen when set to 06 (Pre-Release).
*0CE455 - Change to 06 and it'll load 6th letter but won't show (?). I'm not sure on this..but I think that's what it does. (Pre-Release)
C10406 - Change to 06 to display 6th letter! (In Battle - Pre-Release)
C10428 - Change to 01 02 or 03 so the first letter of the next name doesn't appear above it. (In Battle - Pre-Release)

Found how to stop the sixth letter from being greyed out.
This is the original code in the game.
$C1/0919 9D 00 0D STA $0D00,x[$7E:0D1B] A:0029 X:001B Y:014E P:envMxdizc
$C1/091C 9D 02 0D STA $0D02,x[$7E:0D1D] A:0029 X:001B Y:014E P:envMxdizc
$C1/091F 9D 04 0D STA $0D04,x[$7E:0D1F] A:0029 X:001B Y:014E P:envMxdizc
$C1/0922 9D 06 0D STA $0D06,x[$7E:0D21] A:0029 X:001B Y:014E P:envMxdizc
$C1/0925 9D 08 0D STA $0D08,x[$7E:0D23] A:0029 X:001B Y:014E P:envMxdizc
'29' is what makes a white tile. You have to write another '29' to $0D0A,x to light up the 6th letter.

Double post, but I've been working on solving a issue I've seen where you can't delete the sixth letter.
7E0F06 stores what letter you're on in the naming screen. In the original game, it's 04 when you're on the fifth letter but haven't written it yet, and 05 after you've entered the fifth letter.
These are some code parts from the original game.

I fixed the problem by changing 02E355 to 05, 02E33C to 05, and 02E342 to 07.

That loop is working perfectly when only one character is in the party. Two or three and it freaks out.
Disassembly:
$CC/E660 BF 3F F8 CC LDA $CCF83F,x[$CC:F83F] // This is where I originally found that index.
$CC/E664 A8 TAY
$CC/E665 A2 00 00 LDX #$0000

$CC/E683 EA NOP

$CC/E685 EA NOP
This part works fine.
CCE69C I changed to 06. This code is already part of a working loop.
Vehek: Do you know the full subroutine for controlling white letters? I'm not good at dissecting things like that at the moment.

This is an example for when I select PC1 using Battle Gauge 1.

It works perfectly with one PC in battle, but not at all with two or three.
-
That STA $0D1B,y will only work for PC1 under Battle Gauge 1.
7E0D1B is only the start of PC1's name under Battle Gauge 1.
The value it gets from CCFA29 is used to determine where to place the 29's.
For battle gauge 2, it gets this value instead:
$C1/08FA BF 23 FA CC LDA $CCFA23,x[$CC:FA23] A:0000 X:0000 Y:014E P:envmxdiZc
-
Hmm. In that case, I'm not sure how to rewrite that code.
Maybe I'll have to relocate it and add the next 29 with the same method.
-
It works perfectly with one PC in battle, but not at all with two or three.
The branch command you have at C10918 is off by one, going back to C1090F instead of C1090E.

This was posted by Geiger a few pages back. I finally decided to use this code in the patch.
One of the loops needs to be adjusted, but once that's done this patch will be complete. :D
Edit: Made a couple more changes:
CCE646 = 06
CCE64A = 12
CCE669 = 00
CCE625 = 00
CCF83F-CCF845 = 00 06 0C 12 18 1E 24
This gets everyone working except for Frog and Magus, who display as rog and agus, respectively.
I'm not sure what's going on with those two.

The code for the Frog and Magus checks were mentioned on Page 2. Branching over the commands might correct the issue.

Couldn't have done it without your help. :)
Tomorrow I'll organize the data better. Could you change the topic's title?

Congratulations. :D

Damn, somewhere along the lines a glitch popped up. In battle, some of the sounds for attacks don't match what the character should have.
-
Damn! We're incredibly close though...just some things to work out.
Edit: The problem seems to be at x0CF840 "CCF840"
Strange that the 06 messes with this...
Edit 2: The weapon graphics are screwed up as well. I think we should move this place to empty space if possible...this is conflicting majorly(http://i36.tinypic.com/2cxxgcw.png)

Justin: What weapons were you using in that screenshot?
I have the sound issue fixed. I'm not sure about the weapons.

Edit: By doing what you did up there, it fixed everything. Then the character names go all screwy in battle...(http://i38.tinypic.com/167nmyv.png)

Odd, the names seem fine for me. Is it happening as soon as you enter battle?

Yea, it seems so.

Alright. Once done so, would you mind posting it all in 1 giant post? I'm planning to keep EVERYTHING in a text file in case the actual file is lost.
-
I just noticed, whatever quirk caused the need to change 00 to FF in the name storage is gone.
Still slowly going through the changes we've made.
-
'Tis fine, take your time.
-
I *think* this is everything. I applied all of these to a fresh ROM and didn't spot any issues. It doesn't have your fancy "Lv" symbol; I just used "L" to mark the level.
I've attached a new IPS patch as well.

Okay, so what all do we have here? Can we patch an unheadered ROM and use six letter names with absolutely no repercussion, limitations, or changes whatsoever? Is there any way to break the code by entering a certain name? Does the patch make any modifications besides 6 letters?
-
There are no known repercussions, limitations, or glitches. All necessary changes are in the patch, and are applied to existing data or code. Nothing was relocated.
Besides changes that were directly related to allowing 6 letters, "LV" on the status and save screens was shortened to "L", and the ATB gauge is moved over slightly.
-
Wow. So it's completely real...
This'll be a crown jewel of the next update. Congratulations to everyone for making it possible.
-
That patch you uploaded seems to be missing the save screen LV fix and has a blank where the level symbol should be in the regular menu.
Edit-The blank seems to be the result of keeping Justin's change to the LV text, but not including the Lv tile.
-
I'm confused where do you store the "6th" letter for the characters (if you not using any unused space).
--JP
-
The 6th letter gets stored to what's normally a null space after the name.
-
You forgot to edit the Save Screen's 6th letter. I'll throw in the "fancy' LV and fix the save screen, then host the patch up.
Edit: All set guys ^_*

Going to submit to ROMHacking.net?
-
Should I? I was expecting Vehek or Mauron to considering they did most of the work.
-
Oh, well just curious; wouldn't want the opportunity to be missed. It's another feather in our cap over there. If someone wants to do it, let me know; otherwise I'll go ahead and submit Tuesday.
-
Go ahead and submit it. You're the head of the site, I think it'd make more sense. It's a hack for the Chronocompendium and everyone, so the head of the site should do it.
-
Ugh, well I don't mean to push in; I'll let it go for a while to see if someone else wants to have the experience.
-
(http://i35.tinypic.com/whbq06.png) - Well I've been working a bit more into this, seeing what I can expand it to. I'm trying 7 letters. xD
-
... o.O I think six is enough... But if you want to, I don't see why not! XD
Just want to say congratulations to everyone that worked on this. The stuff in Kajar Labs is always really cool! :D Can't wait to try this out. ;)
-
The 6th letter gets stored to what's normally a null space after the name.
Hm, interesting. Were sure this doesn't have any adverse effects? I'm trying to think of a situation where maybe the game scans letters until it hits a "null" character (this is how many string copy functions work). I can't really think of anything offhand though. I wonder why that had the NULL character there.......
--JP
-
No adverse effects at all from what I've seen.
-
$C2/E3F6 E0 05 00 CPX #$0005
I think this is the count for comparing the name to other characters'.
-
Yep, that's it. I'll throw up the new patch again. I'll edit my previous post.
-
Congrats guys! I know you've been working on this forever!
-
At long last it's done! Very impressive! :D
Mind if I put it to practical use and include in the next CT+? (of course, you'd be credited, it's not like I'd steal it)
Then people will quit asking me if I can make it so you can spell Crono's name as 'Chrono' :x
Let me know on permissions for this, if not, that's alright too.

-
Go ahead! It's for the public.

-
Go ahead! It's for the public.
Thanks!! This will add yet another new element to the CT+ hack!
~Z
-
After this, we just have the VWF font (which is almost done), then do 8th character, and CT is pretty much set for what people want...minus extended Techs and new items D:
-
And fortune smiles:
http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/461/
-
Well, if you need help with the vwf+retranslated names, count on me. I've got the whole list sitting there for almost 2 years. :D
-
(http://i42.tinypic.com/359lqc5.png) - Well, working on it to get 7 letters and looky here =P
-
...holy shit. We bow to your awesomeness.
-
7th letter appears in battle and menu fine. Battle Gauge 1/2 not so much. Battle gauge 1, we have to move MP over then HP over. Battle Gauge 2, we have to bump the name back 1 and then it should work.
Edit: The alternative method is to figure out how to get the VWF running in battle. Do that, and we should be 100% fine even without modifying anything. Hell, we could probably fit another letter..
Edit 2: (http://i44.tinypic.com/ioowad.png) I think you can see what I'm trying to do.
-
I wasn't sure where the best place to post this was, so I'll stick it here.
0CECD8 - A CPX command loaded in battle. When I changed it to E0 07, the battle loaded, but monster names did not. Perhaps it's something to look at for VFW?
-
x0CE043 - Something to do with battle font.
-
(http://i43.tinypic.com/210bx3r.png) - Now that's fixed, time to get some screenshots of the bugs that appear.
(http://i40.tinypic.com/2djbdvo.png) - Appears to work, then this happens.
(http://i39.tinypic.com/33m0tqq.png) - :|
If you try naming the character...well then this happens. (http://i43.tinypic.com/ou60is.png)(http://i41.tinypic.com/2wdn71e.png) - It either does this or just pick up some completely random symbol.
Even then, if you completely remove the name and add it, you won't be able to name the 7th letter.
(http://i40.tinypic.com/4hcguq.png) - Lucca's naming screen
(http://i41.tinypic.com/2r5xn5l.png) - Oddly enough, the name works fine
(http://i42.tinypic.com/fk9p3r.png) - Marle's naming screen. I'm pretty certain they're all screwed up, but I haven't bothered to check. Yes, I moved all the names to that "7E2900" slot and gave them 7 bytes each. 00 29, 07 29, 0E 29 etc etc..
A2C1CBC8C7C8CCACBACBC5BEFFFFABCEBCBCBAFFFFB1C8BBC8FFFFFFA5CBC8C0FFFFFFA0D2C5BAFFFFFFACBAC0CECCFFFFA4C9C8BCC1FFFF is the data.
-
Change 02E482 to 07 in order to fix the name screen issue. It uses that instead of the pointers to call up the names.
-
Oh! Yay! Thank you Xd
-
Did you remember that which letter you're on in the name is at 7E0F06? Your seventh letter might be sharing that address.
-
..Yea, it is -_-...That might be explaining the problems with this. Anyway of finding what makes it write there and move it somewhere else?
Edit: $C2/E34D AD 06 0F LDA $0F06 [$7E:0F06] Changing the values here at all cause it to go strange.
Edit 2: $C2/E345 8C 06 0F STY $0F06 [$7E:0F06] Got it. Changed this to 07 and it bumps it over 1. But if you move this...You can't even name the character as it won't move beyond the first letter. Then the 7th letter fails to appear in general now..hmm.
-
Did you adjust all the references to $0F06 from here?
Double post, but I've been working on solving a issue I've seen where you can't delete the sixth letter.
7E0F06 stores what letter you're on in the naming screen.
-
Got it. It's working now. Just have to get the 7th letter to write and the deleting of letters to work and it should be nameable.
Edit: Erasing works mostly right now. It still skips the 7th letter for some reason.
Edit 2: Everything's working except for the 7th letter naming/deleting. I was watching the memory values and it's definitely being changed as you write the letter...but it just won't save it.
-
YES! GOT IT! Change 02E3A9 to 06 and 02E338 to 07 and it works perfectly =]
(http://i39.tinypic.com/8zmjnt.png)(http://i43.tinypic.com/v3ivyt.png)
-
excuse my language, but that is fucking cool. seriously
-
God Damn it. That's the one at school that's working. I must have forgot to change something for the one at home. I'll get that working soon.
Edit: GOT IT! x02E388 = 06 and it works!
-
Pardon the double post, but to get the 7th letter to appear in battle gauge 1/2 in battle, we have to move MP over 1 slot, then move HP over 1 slot. Then it should work. Then the only last tidbit is somehow get it to look alright in the menu without killing LV**
-
(http://i44.tinypic.com/2rr5kzb.png) - Update.
3FBAB0 - HDMA Length on character select in menu - Top Half
3FBAB1 - HDMA Length on stats on right in menu - Top Half
3FBAB5 - HDMA Length on character select in menu - Middle
3FBAB6 - HDMA Length on stats on right in menu - Middle
3FBABA - HDMA Length on character select in menu - Bottom Half
3FBABB - HDMA Length on stats on right in menu - Bottom Half
3FBC83 - HDMA Length on character select in menu when you select it
3FBC84 - HDMA Length on stats on the right when you select
-
Another slight update. Fixed the HDMA colors on every other menu now. It's the main screen I have to fix...but I'm very confused on the other boxes. If you move the X coordinate, it shows them all WAYYYYYY over. And if you move them anywhere else, the left piece goes missing. I'm not sure what does this.
Edit: Another slight update (http://i40.tinypic.com/2zyzr4x.png)
Bugs
=====================
X Coordinate of Picture
X Coordinate of Equipment
Coordinates of the Hand
The 2 ends of the boxes
When going to the next screen, the new ends of the menu still appear...not sure how to remove those.
Everything just got more complicated now...For some reason, when anyone else is in the party, their names do not show up correctly in the save menu, tech menu, or any menu for that matter except Crono's. I've tried loading up the OFF battle gauge in battle with more then 1 person, and it only shows Chrono instead of Chronos and everyone else's name goes psychotic. (http://i43.tinypic.com/2chnvwk.png)
-
Edit: (http://i42.tinypic.com/28sr8zc.png) - Almost done with the HDMA and whatnot. There's a few things I'm having a lot of trouble finding for it though.
Edit 2: (http://i39.tinypic.com/okbqyf.png) - Gotta fix the HDMA in the Exchange menu and the weapon area. Then I have to fix some menu drawing for the weapon menu part. After that, got to re-arrange the Character Party Exchange menu to see if it'll align right. After that, got to fix it so when you go to the next menu, it'll delete the other boxes outside of it. Then fix the names in menu and battle. Then, have to fix the hand movement in the menus.
Edit 3: Fixed hand placement on all menus except exchange.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70qyN3G7rmo - Labeled video of 7th letter and whatnot.
Edit: (http://i43.tinypic.com/2eoxo4x.png) - Found the X coordinates of the letters. I'm hoping to see if we can extend the routine to allow 14 letters isntead of 13.
Edit 2: A shoddy example of how it'd look with extended names. (http://i39.tinypic.com/negggh.png)
-
Fixed the HDMA bug in the exchange menu. But then out comes 2 more bugs
(http://i41.tinypic.com/9av881.png) - This is what it looks like now that I moved the text.
(http://i41.tinypic.com/24fn4o4.png) - This is what happens when you try to move a PC. They're inter linked. You move 1, you HAVE to move the other -_-
The other bug is when you switch a character in the "Exchange" menu. The first letter gets stolen.
-
Been working on this more since last night. The entire tech menu is almost bug free, which is where most of the bugs originally were. The last remaining bugs are :
1) When you select a PC, the first PC slides way over to the right. Just have to find the x coordinates of that
2) When you bump or expand the tech names, it doesn't read them all correctly.
That's all I can think of right now, but almost half the menu bugs are eliminated. There's just a few more and the entire menu will be done.
Edit: Fixed the Exchange menu and the Character Replacement menu. They're both working 100% now.
Edit 2: It's getting horribly annoying now. There's 1 more HDMA bug in the tech menu bit I can't find it at all. It's when you choose a PC to look at for techs. Why do they have 2 separate HDMA's for ONE thing >_<
Edit 3: New video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIbmyPCYgfg
-
(http://i43.tinypic.com/o7j0oz.png) - Update a little. I'm going to expand the item names a bit so they're slightly better looking. I'm going to do that for techs if I can...but it's really weird.
-
*Removed the above idea: This will probably be implemented last or into another hack*
(http://i39.tinypic.com/jjw8s8.png) - Fixed the menu name bugs. There was a random bug in the menu that caused it to not load 7 letters properly when naming someone. Found where the byte was and changed it. For names to show up properly completely in the menu, there's just 1 more bug with the saving. The entire name saves, but the first PC's 7th letter shows up on everyone in the save menu, yet they retain their names.
-
Found another bug. If you try naming the character after 'b' and erase the name, it won't erase the name and it'll start rewinding itself when erasing. Like...If you check the value it'll go down to zero on the 1st letter, but you're still able to go further and it'll reset itself to FF then keep going down.
Edit: Well fuck, this bug exists even on the 6th letter!
Edit 2: Fixed. Had to move the 07 0F's to 0F 0F and now it works perfect.
-
Okay, I'm officially confused.
(http://i39.tinypic.com/w2f4pk.png)
(http://i40.tinypic.com/fbxc2v.png)
Notice how the shading is wrong on those 2 spots. I've gone through everything in what I believe to be the entire menu shading routine and I have NOT found anything on these two. I've even gone through the main menu/tech menu area and didn't find it either. I'm completely baffled and lost on where this is.
-
Could you put up a patch and your notes so far?

Yea, here's the patch.

Found the area of the tech menu issue. It's somewhere in this range: 3FBD08-3FBD17
Edit: 3FBD0B-3FBD0C: 09 F6
-
Jees, all the way down there? I didn't expect it to be in that range.
-
I just set an execute breakpoint on C2F373, and started zeroing out the areas it returned.
-
It actually returned values?
$C2/F373 54 7E FF MVN 7E FF A:0021 X:B808 Y:9100 P:eNvMxdizc
- That's all I get
-
Oh, sorry for not being clear. The X register holds the location in bank FF that starts the section, and the accumulator (A) holds the length of the area. The Y register holds the destination in memory.
In your quote, it's telling you that the data range is FFB808-FFB829.
-
OH! So THAT'S how those work! That's a huge help! Thanks for that tidbit of info
-
You're welcome.
Unfortunately the data for the graying out of unselected characters seems to be handled by another routine, unless I missed something.
-
Yea, it's definitely something else. I've gone through and can't find anything on it.
-
What was your plan of attack for finding HDMA data?
-
I was hoping the HDMA data would be somewhere around those areas for it, but as shown and suspected it wasn't. I'm not sure but maybe set a breakpoint at the start of the menu data and see if it reads anything that we haven't checked. That's very undescriptive but I think Geiger's offset guide lists a few unknown routines near the beginning of the rom. I would think it's something around there.
02754D 027DE3 CODE N Unknown routines 2003.05.06
027DE4 027FFF --- N UNUSED SPACE (540 bytes) 2003.05.22

02C511 02C547 CODE N Unknown routines 2003.05.06
02C548 N 2003.05.06
These for example. It's around the setup of the menu and the HDMA.
-
I just noticed a minor glitch. The game isn't overwriting the wider window properly when passing to the save, exchange, and settings menus.
-
Yea, I'm not sure on that one either. I really don't know what to do with that little bug.
Edit: Then there's the matter of the Tech Icons being half highlighted because I had to nudge them over one. Then there's the other issue of the 7th letter not working properly in save, and in battle, and when selecting equipment in the item menu X_X
-
Experimenting a bit and came up with this ugly little thing. (http://i44.tinypic.com/14y6f4m.png) - Possibly getting closer to a VWF battle font?
-
(http://i41.tinypic.com/wk5w2f.png) - Slight update. They all fit with 7 letters now, only issue is that it's still a little screwy. Hopefully that'll be fixed :D
-
Fantastic. I think I've asked this before, but do you foresee a lot of problems editing the dialogue and the game code once the patch is applied justin? I think someone raised questions about that, with character names specifically, but I'm wondering if it couldn't be solved by hardcoding names into the dialogue.
-
7 letters works perfectly fine in the dialogue from what I'm seeing.
Update!
(http://i39.tinypic.com/2eeezxw.png) - Fixed :]!
