Menu research.
« on: April 29, 2019, 11:46:21 pm »
I've added my current notes to the Encyclopedia.

I'm looking into the feasibility of a menu editing plugin for Temporal Flux, but this may be too complex to handle.

Would this allow turning the helmet slot into a second accessory slot?

Maybe. So far I've only been scratching the surface of menu setup. I haven't looked very far beyond layout.

Can we get a simple menu editor for starters?  :D

That remains to be seen. The drawing commands I've been working with are simple enough, but I haven't really explored functionality.

G position is definitely doable with the data I'm examining now. Amount can be modified by writing to 7E2C53-5. Money carries over by default, but events reset it at location 000. IHBP, I gave you some code that at least kept player names from an old game. Can you post that here?

This is directly quoting you from my RHDN topic.

Money (this one is likely impossible to do safely though).
- Character names (so they default to what they were named as last play through).

These two are easy enough to do. They're already loaded at the start of New Game+, then reset shortly after. You'll need to edit Location 00's events.

Before the MemCopy to Mem.PCNames, add the following.

Code: [Select]
If (7F01CF & 10)
     Goto [00C3]

I haven't tested this, but it should work.
