Important Melee, Hacks, and You -- New Hackers Start Here, in the OP!

I tried to with Kirby and Puff and it's blocked off by invisible forces of the gods.

obv

 

[Milun]

Hm... hey guys I think I need to rework it. Apparently, the ceiling is too low.

I've already got one request to make it higher because "i can go on the highest platform with Fox, and gimp someone at 0%".

Anybody else agree with this?

 

[VietGeek]

Well ignoring the hyperbole, it does seems uncharacteristically low compared to any other stage in-game. So maybe a tad higher, and perhaps make it so the camera doesn't pan out quite so much when people are sent flying upward: it ruins the illusion that they're being sent faraway. ^^

 

[Milun]

Hm... very well. Less pan, more room. I'll get onto it as soon as I can.

EDIT: Ok, the links have been updated with the higher ceilings and lower camera.

And, coming not so soon:

Now, will you guys complain about the left side?

 

[Warhawk]

Can you still land on the ufo on that stage?

 

[Milun]

No. I've gotten rid of them.

 

[SypherPhoenix]

Sypher, I saw that you added the floats for pikachu's self-hit range on thunder. You have horizontal, vertical, and then you also have one that's labelled the range. I think it's actually X axis of range, Y axis of range, and size of range.

This makes a lot more sense, I couldn't figure out how they interacted, I had tunnel vision on them being modifiers to the range. If you've tested this successfully you should go ahead and change it.

 

[standardtoaster]

I haven't tested it at all but it definitely seems like what it is.

 

[Milun]

Ok guys, could you beta test/give feedback on this? I know there are some obvious issues with it currently, such as the bad spawns and the floating lights, but the main feel is there.

[phish-it]

Aside from the obvious issues I don't think it really needs anything. It's simple but different from the other neutral stages we have now. I'm liking the floating metal beam platform too.

 

[Milun]

You sure? Because the platform has a tendency to move in an irregular fashion (when it's on the left, it's lower than when it's on the right. I've been trying to fix it with little success).

[Akorax]

^ Now thats more like it! Great work on the stage! Some music and a new skin and its done! :D

 

[Milun]

Thanks! I'll leave that textures and music up to the individuals preferences though, it's not really my department.

 

[SypherPhoenix]

I haven't tested it at all but it definitely seems like what it is.

Did some testing, it's definitely more complicated than that. Two of them seem to only affect vertical range, while one seems to affect horizontal range.

 

[standardtoaster]

Okay, I'll test out those floats later and see how they are.

 

[iffy525]

This doesn't have to do with Melee exclusively, but has anyone got dios mios lite 2.2 to work? I can't get any games to load, just a blank screen.

If I need an older version, can you guys upload it? They don't offer older downloads on their project page.

 

[n0ne]

i DID get it to work with v2.2, but was a pain in the butt, and only did this AFTER FINALLY finding v2.0 which was a bit less troublesome to load isos.. always got stuck on black screen after choosing ISO to load.

btw, since, 2.0, its not "Lite" anymore
u can PM me ur email and ill send the 2.0 wad your way.

ALSO, i found this important, on Dios Mios, if songs from hacked melee (the longer songs) are played on a stage, if u take too long on a fight , and it loops once, after u win a match and screen says GAME, the wii will hang, controller vibrating and all.

Why would this be? anyone shed some light?

And one last thing, does anyone do any song hack requests? other threads look dead, and i never learned to hack audio files

edit: iffy525, try another format config, or try another flash memory or sd card too. ive only successfully made two of my usb storage devices working, others are stubborn.

 

[Steelia]

DIOS MIOS Booter is just too glitchy right now... I'd recommend using DIOS MIOS Lite v1.4, if you have a working high-speed SD Card.

And I've heard anything above DM Booter v2.0 is extremely glitchy, and prone to more crashes than usual; I think even some other forums recommended sticking with v2.0 until further notice.

 

[RaphaelRobo]

Right now I'm using Dios Mios (not lite) 2.2 and USB Loader GX r1200.

Playing with HQ textures is pretty awesome. It's not as awesome as on my laptop (which can emulate Melee in 1080p), but it's still pretty awesome.

 

[n0ne]

hq melee? have the textures been made available? i thought steelia was still working at it?

 

[RaphaelRobo]

There were a few that were available for download at one point.

 

[n0ne]

steelia, dios mios lite 1.4 is better than 1.5? didnt know that. also, i hate that dios mios , lite or 2.0, breaks my gc backup launching capability. more work needs to be put on this.

edit, whats the best tutorial for music hacking right now? i never understood the one on the 1st page

Edit2: has Pokemon stadium staying only on neutral been achieved yet?

 

[VietGeek]

has Pokemon stadium staying only on neutral been achieved yet?

Yes it has, check for the Integrating AR Codes thread.

 

[Milun]

Also, someone managed to actually non-AR hack it to stay that way last year. No idea what happened to them or their hack though.

How to Add New Commands to Actions/Subactions

There are 2 ways I know to do this. You can replace a command with a subroutine (14000000 POINTERR) to direct to the old command + new commands (an injection), or change the pointer for the action/subaction command list to redirect to a different list of commands entirely. Currently, I'd say do the latter for reasons I'll explain down below. The header of the files are 0x20 long (brawl's are 0x80), so in a hex editor pointers are 0x20 less than where they are located within the editor.



The Commands

Around the 0x6000-0x8000 area there's (always?) a bunch of empty space (zeroes) that appears to be safe to use. Write the new commands here, ending with 00000000 to terminate the command list (though there's already 0s there anyway).

If it's somehow possible to replace dats with dats that are larger filesize than the originals (didn't let me with GC-Tool) and also not cause problems when loaded, you could instead add them to the end of the file, and update the file's byte count at the very start of the file to match. Doing this would also allow freely adding entries to the pointer table at the end of the file which will again be explained below, allowing you to add new subroutines and gotos to the file.


About Pointers and The Pointer Table

Everything in the file that is a pointer to somewhere else within the .dat needs to be in this table (in order!) at the end of the file. This table is a list of offsets in the file that upon loading the file into memory will add the file's starting location (excluding the header length) in ram to the pointer's offset, turning the file's pointers into something the game can use. Accessing something like 00002800 in ram instead of 80D02800 (if the file were loaded into 80D00000) would obviously crash the game.


Changing the Action/Subaction Command List Pointer

Figure out where the list of commands begin in the file by copying the HexString from the commands and searching for it (would be nice if MasterHand just showed the address like PSA...). Then once you've located the start of the commands in the editor subtract 0x20 from that (header is 0x20), and search the file for that address with zeroes before it like: 00014268 instead of 14268. First one you find that isn't preceded by a 14000000 (subroutine) or 1C000000 (goto) should be the pointer for the action/subaction's commands. Edit this to be the starting offset where you wrote the new list of commands minus 0x20 so the action/subaction now goes to the newly created command list. You can confirm if you did it right by checking it in MH.


Updating the Pointer Table

This is only needed if within the new command list you are including subroutine and/or goto commands (stuff with pointers in it), or if injecting a subroutine into an existing list of commands. Without being able to use larger filesize dats, you won't be able to add new subroutines or gotos, but you can move existing ones (already have space to use in the pointer table) to new command lists.

If say a subroutine command is: 14000000 00004190, the pointer is the 00004190 which is what you want to determine the offset of in the file (go by the start of the whole word 00004190 not 4190). Find the offset of it in the file and subtract 0x20. Say the 14000000 00004190 is located at 4A80, the pointer is at 4A84 which would then be 4A64.

Then search the pointer table at the end of the file for that offset with zeroes filling it out (4A64 -> 00004A64). You will need to remove this entry (reducing the filesize by 0x4), then insert the new pointer entry (adding 0x4 back into the file) to its appropriate location within the table to fit within order of the other entries. Say the new location of your subroutine's pointer in the new command list is located at 00007030 (00007010 after subtracting 0x20), you'll delete the 00004A64, then go down in the table to insert 00007010 into the proper spot in the list (maybe between 00006FEC and 00007124 or something).

Now when the file is loaded it updates the new subroutine command's pointer to a mem address instead of the old and now unused subroutine's pointer.

I know there's a non-transforming PS in the super mega ultra texture pack, but I've never tried it.

Edit2: has Pokemon stadium staying only on neutral been achieved yet?

1.5 of DML kept freezing to a black screen, or wouldn't load the game at all for me. Not sure why it kept doing that, so I reverted to the next previous version (1.4a or 1.4b, I forget which one).

As for Pokemon Stadium...
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=296527
There. You edit the "Start.dol" file, located in the "&&SystemData" folder in SSBM. It requires the changing of some hex, but it's really easy to do, and should be very simple to find. All you need to know is what version of SSBM you have. (:

And as for audio... how's this work?

I did some music hacking once. It sounds complicated, but it's pretty easy. The only hard part is getting the loops to sound good.

How to Add New Commands to Actions/Subactions

Amazing. Just sayin

 

[VietGeek]

Yeah, but some characters appear to have more free space than others.

Around this area is also some values that control stuff like transition frames from squatting -> squat and empty landing lag frames. I tried an "empty area" of Mewtwo's .dat and I got some weird looking animations. Of course I just relocated and things turned out fine.

Animation Engine

This DOL injectable code I created will allow you to modify the animation speed for characters based on the character (or wildcard/character independent), the current animation frame, and current action or subaction. You could for example make Bowser's d-tilt play at 1.4x speed during frames 1-14, making it hit on frame 10 instead of 14.

This is where the flow of code is modified to be redirected to at the end of an update animation frame and script timers function that runs each frame. It checks character ID, current animation frame, current action, and current subaction against a list of entries with these paired with floats that will modify animation speed when they match. With a match the code is then branched to a function that modifies animation speed for aerial/special landings (can be hijacked just fine for anything though) that is fed the float from the FSM entry, applied, then returns to the custom function before returning to after the original injection point.

It's written to a location in the dol that appears to be unused and unread by the game.

This redirects the code at the end of an update animation frame and script timers function to execute the custom function above (animation engine).



@19D0 (1.00 DOL - FSM Entries)
CCFFSAAA XXXXXXXX
...

This is where the entries for the animation engine are written to. Each entry contains a byte for the character ID, a byte for starting frame, a half word for action or subaction ID, and a float to be used for animation speed under those conditions. There is room at this location for 152 FSM entries (should be plenty), and it is the largest amount of open space in the DOL I could find.



Format
CCFFSAAA XXXXXXXX

C - Character ID
F - Timer for the FSM to begin on
S - Action/Subaction Tag (0 = Action; 8 = Subaction)
A - Action/Subaction ID
X - Float to set animation speed to

It's important to note that all entries for a character must be grouped together in the list, and when using multiple FSMs for the same character and action/subaction they must be in reverse timer order. Also, some animations begin on frame 0 not 1 and the 1st frame will always be animation frame 0.00.

Putting FF as the character ID will make it apply to all characters. If you wanted to make Bowser's d-tilt be at 1.4x speed from frames 1-14 you would use:

050E0039 3F800000
05000039 3FB33333

Notice the reverse timer ordering. It's like that because it takes the first entry that is satisfied (current frame is >= FSM entry). If it's an animation that begins on 0 instead of 1 (you can see in develop mode display), the 1st frame will always be 0 regardless of if a FSM is set to frame 0.

On smash attacks with a FSM before the charge frame, disable the FSM from being further reapplied by putting an entry with a float of FFFFFFFF on or before the charge frame. This is very important for pre-charge FSMs as they will be unable to charge without it (overrides the 0.00x modifier).

If you wanted to make Yoshi's f-smash (charge frame on 6) 1.5x speed from 1-12 you would use:

110C003C 3F800000
1101003C FFFFFFFF
1100003C 3FC00000

The 1.5x FSM will still carry through the smash charge until frame 12. The FFFFFFFF is needed during the charge frame to prevent the 1.5x to being reapplied during it so the charge freeze can work.

Subactions should just be the same as they are listed in MasterHand.

 

[phish-it]

Magus, you are a ****ing God. This is an amazing discovery.

The Bowser downtilt change for example, allows the first hit to come out on frame 10, the data in Masterhand obviously still reads it as frame 14. Any suggestion on how to make the subaction data reflect the actual frame now, or will I just have to leave notes and suck it up?

 

[standardtoaster]

Yeah, the subaction ids are in the order they appear in masterhand. They start at 0. For example, jab1 is subaction 2E, which is the 46th listed subaction (after subaction 0, the first listed one).

 

[Magus420]

It's not really a discovery so much as I wrote a code that taps into an animation speed function (for changing the speed of the landing animations), and am sticking the assembly I wrote and a table that it reads from into some free space within the DOL.

No, there's no way to have MH read/show the effects of the code. You'd need to keep track of them and use math, or go by the animation timer display in develop mode as that will match where it is in the script's coding.

 

[standardtoaster]

Since you hooked into the speed for landing animations, could you find out why game and watch can't L cancel 3/5 aerials?

 

[Magus420]

Rewrote the code to fix some things. Hooks into the end of the function I was injecting into instead of the middle, because script timer updating happened to be right there with it, and after the injection point. Caused script timers to desync with the animation when a FSM was applied after frame 0 (FSMs would affect script timers 1 frame early before).

Also fixed the Zelda/Sheik identification method to a better one that now works properly.

Since it's now injecting into a different location, if you're using the old version you'll need to undo the injection point edit @6FCCC (change 4BF916B4 -> C03E0894), update the custom function written @17A0, and write the new injection point @6FDA4.



G&W N/B/U-Airs L-Cancelable, and U-Air Lag Bug Fix

G&W's n/b/u-air can't be l-canceled because those use special actions instead of the normal ones, skips the lcancel check, and the lcancel check only looks at common landing actions anyway. Also, u-air reads the attribute for b-air landing lag instead of u-air in its special coding by mistake, lol.

(this is for v1.00 DOL)

[DRGN]

What format are images stored as in the game's iso? How can I get them?

Specifically I want the background image to the Melee main menu, when choosing between "1-P Mode", "VS Mode", "Trophies", etc. (The first menu after pressing start at the title screen.)

I realize there are a lot of moving parts in the background. Maybe it would be possible to remove the menu graphics temporarily to take a snapshot of everything behind it?

Great stuff as always Magus, advancing all the bums doing Melee hacking and getting VietGeek one step closer to making Project M using Melee.

I've only actually tested 1.02, but these should all work.

What format are images stored as in the game's iso? How can I get them?

They're in Nintendo's proprietary tpl format, but by using Dolphin you can extract the textures into tga/png format. Try this post for some info. What you're asking for is a bit more complex though, as the main menu is made up of a ton of little things, not all of which are even textures.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of when I remembered just how much movement there is back there. So I was thinking maybe it could be hacked so that the menu interface in the foreground is transparent (the buttons, texts, and menu borders), and then a still snapshot could just be taken of everything else together (including the orbs of light on the tracks). I don't need to recreate the animations.

How easily could someone do this? Perhaps widescreen? It's for a useful tool I'm working on for Melee.
