Fantastic hack!! It is so cool that there still is N64 hacking going on out there. Man how I wish some of these younger guys were around with us old dudes back in the N64 days. Nice work and keep them coming man.

yes, probably, but anyway, already redone the code hehe

i did a similar one for master quest, but not rapid-fire, just to remove the explosion limitation that magic arrows have when you shoot 1 and you have to wait and the buzz sound appear if you try to shoot another one. lol

but that's a good idea, i should try one of those too.

edit: just found something interesting. from the pointer + 238 = arrow distance data. lol

Ah, I forgot about that silly limit. What's this distance data?

distance data, the value that the game put to know if it's time to "erase" the arrow... value max is 0C, decrease very fast XD

Mm, so you could make the arrows able to fly completely across the map? Neat, I suppose.

now i have to find where is the data for magic arrow explosion... because there is a distance limit to explode.

Edit: forget about it

Edit 2: the arrow explosion flag is at pointer+23A. 1 = on, will explode. but it seems that need the exact timing to work. if write to soon it doesn't work.

By Zeld:
Ocarina of Time. Haven't really done anything new with this game, but maybe I have. I don't know, so I'll let you guys figure that out.

0x801daa54 - 3 position floats
0x801daa80 - H, L, W scalars
0x801daa90 - Falling speed

Never Drown
810786A8 1400

Never Burn to Death
8107864C 1400

Now you can wear that sexy White Tunic wherever you like without a timer code. Pah, I guess these codes are pointless. Whatever.

rapid magic arrows are great any more codes

for items & actions there are special pointers to what assembly is being used by link it is located at 80224C24. a (RAM) search for the lower half 16 byte of 80224C24's pointer yields the item's loading routine in one of the last search results in an ADDIU. item parameters are pulled from elsewhere. this is in reference to the debug rom, i dont know the location of 1.0's pointer since i dont have the ROM.

maybe if hyperhacker went on AIM more we could do some ASM patches for Ocarina of Time for better & new items

First I need to be able to type at a decent speed, which actually isn't too far off at this point.

Well, I got bored and made a code. Snort.

81024088 0000
8102408A 0000
811E95DC 0000
811E95DE 0000

D01E9C5C 0001
8011B9A3 0000

Update on the lousy info I've collected for this game:

0x801DAA30 - Pointer used for loading from Link's Z targeting variable

I've confirmed that 0x801DAA54 (Link's 3 position floats are here) is also the start of his character struct

0x801DB0B4 - Pointer to struct of which character Link is Z targeting

Base pointer of annoying kid that doesn't let you leave Kokiri forest:

0x801EE5D0



Struct size (of characters) = 0x1F0

Nice. Now find the bit that controls whether weapons hit them or not.

If the GS can't update it, that means the game is overwriting it. If you're lucky it's just copying from elsewhere. Although it looks like you're just trying to zero out the struct? There's probably a "delete" flag to set that will remove it properly, freeing memory and so on; Mario 64 had this.

You could do some neat things with that pointer. How about a hack to use the D-pad and L to move objects around? (Up/Down=Z axis, Left/Right=X axis, Up/Down with L held=Y axis. Or hack in support for more controllers.) Or find a text routine and add some debug readout on the screen of the selected object... actually, might be worth looking for unused reads of the pointer to see if one already exists.

(Also, for anyone wondering about my previous post, that was over a year ago; I was injured at the time.)

It's probably read from ROM. Either way, the Kill NPCs code will likely have to be a branch kill (or an always branch) like it was for Mischief Makers. Or more; one to allow you to damage NPCs and another to make them actually die (although that might be more along the lines of programming the game to treat NPCs as Gerudo guards so they get knocked out when you attack them, something like that).


The GS can't update because it is an idiot. Both PJ 64 and Nemu 64 wouldn't allow Renegade to overwrite the area. However, in Nemu I overwrote the area manually and it worked fine. I doubt it's being written to at all.

Note: I also tried the code without the conditional line, just in case the 50 code type was rejecting the conditional. Still didn't work.

Edit: I deleted Tarin at the place where you have to push the crates. That worked fine, but the crates still could not be pushed past the space he had occupied. He is apparently tied to a flag somewhere that says "is gone" that allows you to move the crates normally.

About allocation; if it's anything like Mischief Makers, the "is in use" flag is part of the struct itself, and therefore setting the entire struct to 0 is the same as deconstructing it from the high level. Copying Marina into slot 1 and turning her into a gun does make projectiles spawn in slot 2 instead of slot 1, after all (for Mischief Makers). I don't see why a game likely made with a similar devkit would be too different.


That's, uh...more your department.


Do what now? Is that when you broke your arms? I forgot about that >.>

Edit: Cado, wouldn't this work:


?

Yeah, that was a few weeks afterward.

Renegade is buggy, but so is Nemu. I might try it in Mupen64 later and see if it works.

Remember those other codes I posted that make it so the game thinks you're wearing a red tunic or blue tunic depending on if you're in the water or in a hot place, so that you never have to change tunics?

I changed the branches to branch if zero is not equal to zero, even though I could have just used NOPs.

I think I'm going to start NOP'ing codes with 0x1400 (even though it's probably not a NOP...I wonder if it's actually faster; does it fetch the branch and its delay simultaneously? That would be sweet ).

Edit: The pointer I found for Z targeting seems to be for version 1.2. The other data is still correct, it seems.

For version 1.0 the Z targeting pointer is stored at 0x801DB084.

Or maybe when I copied and pasted the value from MS Calc into notepad (I found the location with Cheat Engine and was using MS Calc to get the actual address given the emulator address) it copied wrong, because I don't remember it ever being 0x801DB0B4 like I posted (though it even says that in my notes :/).

Edit: WTF read +0x144:


Edit: My guess was that the circle he was moving in is related to the circular motion Stalkids move their arms in when they flail at you.

However, since Ingo has different vertices, he's being rotated about a point that isn't even a part of him, causing him to make a large loop through the air and ground. Makes sense, right? >.>

_________________

Premature optimization is the root of all evil. Using a branch would, at best, save a microsecond or two, and might cause unexpected weirdness if it's right next to another branch. 2400 works fine.

Obviously I wouldn't use it near another branch. If I'm REPLACING a branch then it's definitely only a matter of style.

Speaking of stylish branch replacing:


Oh yeah, I went there. Version 1.0 (as per the thread) of course, though 1.2's branch might be around there somewhere.

Also:




...

D:

I can't for the life of me figure out how the game knows whether an actor is supposed to be allowed to take damage. Putting data from the Stalkid struct into Ingo's usually just freezes the game. :/

+0x144 doesn't seem to be a ROM address either; it's used to get pointers from RAM using very weird math.

Major Edit:



Kill NPCs code is pretty much out the window. :/

Also, who the FUCK uses a tab width of 4? The [code.] tag should let you specify tab width. I and everyone else use EIGHT, not this lousy 4.

God, the code looks hideous now (even after doubling the tabs).

Pretty major edit:

Of COURSE you knew I wasn't done fucking with this stuff.


(5:36:38 PM) Hector of Chad: Ha
(5:36:44 PM) Hector of Chad: I just "Killed" an NPC in Ocarina of Time
(5:36:48 PM) Mike: lulul
(5:37:02 PM) Hector of Chad: I replaced one of the subroutines of this guard with a damage check routine of an enemy nearby
(5:37:08 PM) Hector of Chad: and it wouldn't let me hit him
(5:37:17 PM) Hector of Chad: so I debugged the routine
(5:37:22 PM) Hector of Chad: and forced it to count as me hitting him
(5:37:27 PM) Hector of Chad: and he flashed red
(5:37:38 PM) Hector of Chad: and it played the noise it would have played if I had killed the actual enemy
(5:37:44 PM) Mike: lul
(5:37:47 PM) Hector of Chad: and now the guard is jiggling really fast like he's in serious pain
(5:37:53 PM) Hector of Chad: but otherwise he's functioning normally

_________________

Just FYI, I did a one-hit-kills code for 1.2 already.

I can see a potential problem with NPC killing. The game only seems to load code for the objects it's using. For example the Hookshot's code isn't loaded until you pull it out, and then it just gets copied to any free space in RAM, so you have to follow some pointers to know where it is. Enemies are probably the same. You'd have to get the game to always load the routines for a certain enemy. (Some generic enemy might work better than a Gold Skulltula, since those do the whole token-generating thing when they die and set a flag to prevent them coming back.)

I'm going to start posting this crap with pastebin, because it's getting too hard to keep track of what I have and haven't posted.

This way you'll be able to use the diff feature to see what I've added, as well as see the tabs properly since pastebin uses 8 for its tab width LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE OMG.

Edit:

concerning the mention of hacks to allow extra controllers to handle object manipulation...couldnt you, in essence, hack in 3 extra Links, and use further hackings to link the Links to controllers in slots 2, 3, and 4, thus allowing for OoT to become OoT: Four Swords, in a sense? honestly, if you could make that work, and maybe even make it a GS code, then you might make alotta Four Swords fans happy.

and yes, i just had to ask. its not like i'd be able to use these codes due to lack of an N64...but still, i had to speak my mind.

Cen was allegedly working on that a while ago, but I don't think he really got anywhere. He wanted multiple screens though. Doing multiple Links on one screen would probably be much easier.

The first thing to do would be to get the released version (i.e. not the debug version) to read all 4 controllers, if it doesn't already, and make codes that use them. (I'd also like to do this to Mario 64...)

How would one go about doing that? I understand only a little, but from what I've seen, the other 3 controllers are not read. I'm trying to do a 4 player hack, but I'm having trouble finding a way to add additional controllers. I know the debug rom reads the other controllers, so is that where I can find how to add the other controllers to the 1.0U rom?
