Re: 6 Letters Available in PSX CT?!

Here's everything up to date

- Pictures say it all.

Here's the things missing
====================
Does not show up in side bar - 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

Update:

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

Code: [Select]
Disassembly:
$CC/E61D BD 23 2C LDA $2C23,x[$00:2C23] A:0000 X:0000 Y:0000 D:0000 DB:00 S:01FF P:EnvMXdIzc HC:0008 VC:000 00 FL:00

$CC/E62F BD 26 2C LDA $2C26,x[$00:2C26] A:0000 X:0000 Y:0000 D:0000 DB:00 S:01FF P:EnvMXdIzc HC:0056 VC:000 00 FL:00

$CC/E638 99 07 94 STA $9407,y[$00:9407] A:0000 X:0000 Y:0000 D:0000 DB:00 S:01FF P:EnvMXdIzc HC:0080 VC:000 00 FL:00
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.

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?

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 =[
