Aleph Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 It could be! I have no idea. It's kind of wasteful to put in work to help people without making sure they're actually helped though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) Crap, I forgot to ask if you could make a version of the hack that's inserted at 0x10C0000 for me. Sorry, it's been a busy week. Edited November 30, 2013 by Agro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Yeah that doesn't work, I get error: null when I try to use it (and I don't when I use the vanilla support hack, so...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendor Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 ? What's giving you an error? You're just supposed to paste write the dmp at 0x10C0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 So there's nothing else that needs to be repointed, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendor Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Nope. So what's the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Just tried using it now, and as I suspected, it didn't work, since copying and pasting the .dmp gives the game no indicator of a function to call. I also tried searching for the pointer that the hack would replace (01 00 D0 08) and matching it to my own, which also didn't work and caused the game to freeze when I tried to use "support" (unsurprisingly). I think there's more than one pointer that needs to be replaced. This is why I need our dear friend Aleph to re-assemble the source for me, rather than just copying and pasting data to one address.

Brendor Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Well that's what I did, I reassembled the source after changing the allocated data from 0x8D00000 to 0x910C0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 there are multiple addresses that are derived from the org used it'd probably be best to give him the actual dmp output from compiling the source (i can guarantee you that that copypasta isn't the complete output just based on the data patterns) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleph Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 The .dmp for the Assembly Patcher doesn't all go to one place. The entire point of the Assembly Patcher is to decode the location information from the .dmp so that the various hack parts go where they need to.

Brendor Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 What else in the source needs to be changed beyond the 0x8D00000 at the start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Well, if you look in the source, it's obvious that there's more than just data at D00000 that gets overwritten. @Origin .long 0x0804AFB8 [...] bll 0x08026744 [...] etc. Edited December 1, 2013 by Agro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Nothing, but the resulting dmp is not a continuous block of code; it isn't a direct c/p Just give him the .dmp file Edited December 1, 2013 by CT075 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleph Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/336940/Software/Hextator%27s%20Doc/Media/Games/Reverse%20Engineering/Console/NGBA/Fire%20Emblem/Apps/FEditor%20Adv/asm/FE7/Event%20Supports/folDIR.html Updated with ".default" files (assmebled to 0x08D00000); the regular files are now assembled for 0x090C0000. For the record, BLL is a macro I wrote that is short for "branch long with link". It calls other code. The code it references in your example is not affected by the hack. In fact, if another hack were to affect that code then this hack wouldn't work. Also note that I moved the hack directory into the FEditor source code with the other assembly hacks I've written.

Agro Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Oh, my bad. Thank you! The page is getting 404'd though, I think it might still be updating D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleph Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) I should mention that since there's 2 .dmp files now that go to different locations, a smart individual with a functional hex editor (apparently mine isn't one) can use a "Difference" operation to highlight the changes between the files and easily modify all relevant values for updating the hack to be placed elsewhere without needing any other tools than a hex editor. This is possible of course because I was smart and wrote a BLL macro to do calls using absolute addresses Try it again. It works for me. Edit: What about the "Support Lv. Increased" dialog? We still doing that? Edited December 1, 2013 by Aleph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendor Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Can you do one for me at 0x1200000 please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Alright, everything seems to be working fine! This is really great, seriously. Event!Supports are gonna allow much more flexibility with just about everything. Honestly, the dialog is not overly important, but it would be a nice touch. Do you know if it would take very long to replicate it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleph Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Can you do one for me at 0x1200000 please? Can't you assemble it? If you can't, try changing the .dmp directly by comparing the differences in the .dmp files for the 2 versions posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendor Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I could but cam was saying just changing the data allocation doesn't do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) no what i said is that there are multiple places where the data allocation needs to be changed if you're just editing the hex (alternately you can just change the source and re-assemble which is far safer) Edited December 1, 2013 by CT075 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleph Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 What? Cam was talking about pasting the .dmp file into the ROM, which wasn't ever how it was intended to be used, or changing the .dmp file manually for use with the Assembly Patcher, which is difficult but doable. He never said you couldn't re-assemble it with the allocation address changed. That is in fact the entire purpose of the allocation address in the source file. Changing that value and re-assembling is how I produced the new .dmp to begin with. I think you guys are overcomplicating things by worrying about things being complicated. If you accept that things are simple and assure yourself that you're thinking of them incorrectly if it seems complicated then you will realize not only that things are not complicated, but how they work as well. Trust me - I've seen plenty of smart people think dumb things because they are intimidated. You are giving this stuff too much credit. Us dumbass humans invented these things so they can't be all that complex. Just think of whatever would be easiest for you - that is probably how it is.
