You look like you are good at codes.
Could you please make 4-digit damage code?
I really want it.
My research is here. https://smashboards.com/posts/21758764

That offset in start.dol is part of the “rtoc” region, which is a special region of the game dol that stores unchanging data.

This can be loaded very quickly with a single instruction.

The game likes to store floating point values in rtoc, such as 1.0 or 9999.0

---

Here’s an example of a regular game function that seems to use your rtoc offset in order to limit a stored floating point to 999.0 if it is currently higher than 999.0

This is part of function 8006cc7c “Damage_Apply&UpdateOnscreenPercent”

I looked around a little and found that this other function also seems to have a hard-coded limit of 999 (as an integer) when updating the HUD

When integers are small enough, the game will include them as a part of the code instructions rather than as stored data:

This is part of function 802f5b48 “Ab_HUD_Unknown_1”

---

In total there are 4 additional integers that are written as hard-coded data in the instructions.

Setting all of these values to 9999 instead of 999 in addition to your rtoc value seems to allow the damage cap to be changed.

Here’s a dol mod that makes these overwrites:

Code:

-==-
Set damage cap to 9999%
Does not add a fourth digit
[Punkline, Itaru]
1.02 ----- 0x2F27F8 --- 380003E7 -> 3800270F
1.02 ----- 0x2F27F0 --- 2C0003E7 -> 2C00270F
1.02 ----- 0x2F2900 --- 380003E7 -> 3800270F
1.02 ----- 0x2F28F8 --- 2C0003E7 -> 2C00270F
1.02 ----- 0x431C70 --- 4479C000 -> 461C3C00

This changes the damage cap, but does not add a 4th digit to the display.

I think the digits work using JObj "joints" or "bones" that contain a DObj linked to a TObj "texture"

Sometimes these TObjs include lists of additional textures, which make an animation index. Some characters blink their eyes using this mechanic.

I’ll look into it more tonight if I can, in the meantime here is a list of calls made by function 802f4edc “Ab_HUD_UpdatePercents?”

Thank you very much for your help.

I want to start to make TAS. Can you tell me that it seems possible or impossible?. thanks.
