Alpha and Omega Stage Toggles Mod

[_glook]

First, a video explanation:

This mod has several parts. There's the part where you actually toggle from one to another, the color change (originally by ShamRock), all of the Omega stage files, and the DOL mods for everything.

The toggle part's Gecko code is this:

Update: You may only be able to play menu sounds on the SSS, but there are 10 possible menu sounds to choose from. I've updated it to play better sounds, but this should also work

Replace X and Y with one of these sounds:
0 is back
1 is Forward
2 is select
3 is "Wrong"
4 is "tingaling"
5 is PEW! (sound when L+R+A+Starting)
6 is snapshot
7 is siren
8 is pick up
9 is drop
A is eat food

I repurpose one of the debug menu options (address 803fa3d0) and use this to store whether we are in Omega or Alpha mode. At the Stage Select screen, if we are in Alpha mode, we can switch to Omega mode by pressing "R", and we can do vice versa with "L". When a switch happens, the menu forward sound plays to indicate an action has occured.

Having a sound to indicate change is nice, but we need a reminder for the user about which mode they're currently in. For this, I use ShamRock's code to change the color of the stage icon border, except modified to use the Alpha/Omega toggle.

This is all nice and fancy, but it doesn't actually do anything. That's where this next code comes in:

This code hooks into the place where the stage's filename is read and checks if we are in Omega or Alpha mode. If we are in Alpha mode, we proceed as normal. However, if we are in Omega mode, we change the filename. Normally, stages have a filename that start with the letters "Gr". We change that to be "Go". We then check to see if the file exists. If it does, we proceed with the new filename. If the file doesn't exist, we change the name back to "Gr". It should be noted that if we are in Alpha mode, it changes the name to "Gr" no matter what, just in case the filename was changed earlier to "Go".
What this means is that you can include alternate stage files in the ISO. The alternate files HAVE to be the EXACT same size as the old one and they must be the same basic stage, as all the DOL functions will run of the original stage. To add a stage file to your ISO, you can manually edit the ISO hex to insert it somewhere (there's about 28 MBs of free space near the beginning of the ISO, though remember to update the FST) or you can just use GCRebuilder to do it.

Sometimes, though, you just want to toggle some dol mods, not load an entire new file. Besides this uses up a good chunk of free space on the ISO (and there's only about 28 Mbs to begin with). In that case, you can use the Omega toggle (803fa3d0) to do this. I'm gone ahead and taken the liberty of doing just that in a couple of ways.

The first DOL mod I created was one to load a different stage entirely. Here's one such example:

380000D7 48000010
2C000017 40820008
380000E3 00000000

This hooks into the part where the stage id is read. It checks if we're in Alpha mode an proceeds normally if we are. If not, we do a series of ifs to check various stage IDs. If they match, we instead change the stage id to something else. This particular code changes Venom to Snag the Trophies, Icicle Mountain to Brinstar Escape, Flatzone to Majora's Mask, Rainbow Cruise to Goomba, and Pokefloats to Entei.

You'll notice that I included Snag the trophies, but some of you are aware that the trophies that spawn will crash versus mode. However, I don't want to remove functionality from Classic mode. So I toggle the trophy spawn dynamically. This is based off of the "Disable Trophy Spawn" code by wparam, except I check to see if we're in Classic mode first. If we are, we load the trophies as usual. If we're not, we don't load the trophies. This can be used separate from the Omega/Alpha stuff, so feel free to use it if you're going to be using the Trophy stage in the versus mode.

How about normal DOL mods? Well, you can alter DOL mods to check to see if you're in omega mode. If ALPHA mode, do what it normally does. If Omega, do whatever the DOL mod usually does. I've gone ahead and made modified codes of a lot of the existing DOL mods, most originally done by Zauron and flieskiller:

I've gone ahead and created an xdelta patch that you can use to patch a copy of SSBM v1.02. The patch clobbers over the Debug Menu, so keep that in mind. Here's a link to the xdelta patch:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ou0zv22t1mjon9g/1_2_with_omega_toggles.xdelta

Thanks for reading!

 

[flieskiller]

That's very cool, but would it be easy to just get the "freeze" stages part and not the different file? Because I'm doing a custom memory card save (while waiting for 20XXTE) and I'd like to import your code into my save.

 

[_glook]

If you don't include the third code (the one that loads a different file), you should be fine. It only uses the Omega toggle, it doesn't do anything to it. The only code that's strictly required is the first one, since all the second one does is change things visually. That being said, it shouldn't hurt anything even if you were to include the third code. It defaults back to the Gr version if it can't find a file with the prefix Go.

 

[Achilles1515]

This is really neat, Glook. So you found a function that just checks if a filename is a valid one within the ISO? That sounds interesting.

Btw, this,

lis r12,0x8047
ori r12,r12,0x9d30
lbz r12,0(r12)

Can be condensed down to just two lines.

lis r12,0x8048
lbz r12,-0x62D0(r12)


Idk why I didn't think about that until just a few days ago...

Oh right, thanks, that could be very useful for saving space (once I write a script to do the math for me).

Yeah, each time a file is read, it first checks the file before trying to read it. AFAIK, this is done for every file that's attempted to be read. I believe 0x800178E8 is a convenience function to do all of that (though I haven't really verified that, though I think it runs for more than just stage loading). In that function, there's a spot where it places the pointer to the string with the filename you want to check to r3. It then calls 0x80016204 then immediately after that calls 0x8033796C. As far as I can tell, 0x80016204 checks the length of the filename. 0x8033796C does a bunch of stuff, but what I know is that if the files doesn't exist, it returns -1. It returns some integer if the file does exist.

Edit: Using a very simple diff algorithm, the difference between normal PlKp.dat and SDR PlKp.dat is 451 bytes. I think I'll manage to find somewhere to store this diff in memory.

Edit2: Nevermind, there was a bug. It's actually 1338 bytes. Still, I think I can manage to find space for it.

 

[flieskiller]

I have one complaint about it: The sound used when you toggle is the same as when you navigate the menu, it should be a different sound to differentiate both actions.

Yeah, but it's the only sound I could get to work that wasn't the "Switch" and "Back" sounds, which is even worse. If you know how to play a different sound, I'd be more than happy to change it.

SFX IDs can be found on the ID Lists page.

Yeah, that's what I initially tried. Even when using the ID for the menu forward sound it would just hang on a storeword. Even using the Play Menu Sound function didn't do it. Only calling one of the specific menu sound functions seemed to do anything.

When the stage is actually selected, the cursor is red, even if Omega mode is activated. Did you try changing it? It would be better if it was purple too.

Yeah, just noticed that yesterday evening to. That one´s on me, the injection point of the color change (one before stage striking) only gets executed when a stage hasn´t been selected yet (i.e. only before a loading cycle), that was to prevent people from striking after a loading cycle has been initiated which would result in the game trying to load stage "1E"(no stage selected) and crashing the game. I haven´t had the time to fix that currently but on the other hand if you have a not so visible color (especially with the half transparent black overlay during loading) your eye doesn´t catch what stage was selected very quickly. And in my experience it happens a lot in sessions that the other player just advances while you look at your phone or something and when you look back at the screen you only have a second to realize what stage was selected. This may not be such a big issue when playing on a ntsc disk based system which takes foreeeeeeeever to load, but when playing pal on a quick load cube you dont have much time to find the dark purple cursor when looking at the screen after the stage has already been selected.

But it will be fixed soon, I promise

Also, something annoys me when I use the toggle: I feel like after selecting a match, it should return to the the normal version. Right now, if I select frozen Pokémon stadium, then I choose random quickly after the match and arrive on FoD, it will be frozen too. Do you think there is a fix possible, like when a level is chosen, return back the variable used by your code to 0? I'd appreciate a lot.

I personally prefer it the way it is now, but if you want to change it, you can hook into the code during scene change and set the omega toggle to 0, which I've mentioned is the word at 0x803fa3d0. You can probably even add it to Achilles' Flush Cache on Scene change.

The ASM is of the form:
lis r12, 0x803f
ori r12, r12, 0xa3d0
li r11, 0
stw r11, 0(r12)

 

[flieskiller]

on a scene change, it's a bad idea, because functions like the timer from Pokémon stadium means it won't work anymore, the best would be when you press start from the CSS. Do you know a function called by only that so I can hook on it?

I don't unfortunately. Though if you only want it to apply it when start is pressed on CSS, you can first check to see if the scene id and subscene id match the value for the SSS or something.

 

[_glook]

Scene ID in byte 80479D30, and it looks like it's 0x2 for versus mode. subsceneId (or screenId) is byte 80479D33. It's 0 at the CSS, 1 at the SSS and maybe 2 at actual gameplay. I believe 3 is sudden death and 4 is the results screen.

 

[flieskiller]

I found it a little by accident, but it suits me fine 100% as I wanted it to be.

Leaving the SSS or ending a match returns to Alpha mode:

Omega mode removed when leaving SSS
C21A415C 00000003
3D80803F 618CA3D0
39E00000 91EC0000
3803FFFF 60000000

I added a reference to your post in the OP.

You can only play menu sounds at the SSS, but there are 10 to choose from. I've updated the code to use two of those other menu sounds so that it can't be confused with "Stage Select" sound. It's customizable and I've included the list of sounds you can play.

See the spoiler in the first post in the toggler spoiler (the first one) for the updated code.

When I try to apply the patch used xdelta3, I get the following error message:
xdelta3: target window checksum missmatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT

I am using a version 1.2 melee iso. Do you know what the problem is?

xdelta only works on a clean copy of the original file, so if you've done anything to it, like texture hacks, it won't work.

You'd have to apply the xdelta patch and then apply the texture hacks afterwards.

 

[Wooggle]

I am using a clean ISO though. I guess I'll try redownloading it.

 

[Wooggle]

The new iso file worked. I have no idea what was wrong with the old file though

Edit: For some reason, the game does not revert back from omega mode when I exit the SSS. Everything else works perfectly

Glad it's working now. The game sticks with whatever mode was last played or selected instead of always resetting. You're not the first to complain, though, so for the next version, I might put an option in the options menu to reset when going to the character selection screen.

I'm not certain if this was asked: do the omega stages have different stage IDs in comparison to their respective alpha version IDs?

No, stage IDs have no meaning by themselves in SD Remix. I have a table in memory with the key being the stage id of the stage slot the user selected and also whether we want alpha or omega. It give back the Melee stage id of the stage to load, any DOL mods to apply for that stage, and whether to load an alternate file for that stage.

 

[Aerros11]

Even 20xxTe is going to have omega stages I believe so I think manipulation of your code is going to sky rocket by its release. Basically I want to replace Yoshi's Island omega stage to Achilles' version (while still maintaining the alpha version in tact). Is there a way to do such a thing? Thanks for the initial reply; I feel like that hint should have been enough for anyone else to figure out but I guess I need a further explanation

Yeah, that's possible, and it's basically what this system does. How you do it will depend on what the stage replacement is. I assume you've already done the first three parts, which is set up the toggle, change the border color, and play a sound. From the sounds of it, it looks like you just want to load a different stage file entirely. That's what my "If in Omega Mode, try loading Omega version of stage (v1.02) [_glook]" code is for. When you build your ISO, put in the Achilles version of the stage except instead of having the filename start with "Gr", have it start with "Go". There's more details in the first post if you're stuck.

I think I just asked a bad example or maybe I was in full derp mode when I had asked.
I guess this is more of a technical question with three criteria:

- Preserve Alpha Stage "Gr"
- Replace Omega Stage "Go"
- With Kalos League "[Roy's Target Test]"

Right now I have Kalos League over Jungle Japes (both alpha and omega).
I did this by going into start.dol and switching Jungles Japes' ID [02030D0C] to Roy's Test [02030D39]..
..but is there a way to preserve the alpha and replace the omega with a completely different stage?

Sorry for the question spam but I hope that if there's an answer, someone else may find it helpful too.

Well, Best Wishes (seriously with all the holidays!)

You'll probably want to check out the section "Omega Mode toggles for some stages (v1.02) [_glook]". The basic description of what it is doing is in that section, and it's pretty simple to reproduce. If you want a place to start, you can convert the code I have listed there to assembly code and start off of that.

I had trouble with dolphin hacking and whatnot when I first started modding so that might be an issue but it's not so much of a big deal right now for me. I'll most likely just settle with what I have for now until I try ASM again. Thanks for all your responses even though I totally backed out in the end~

No worries. Sorry, though, I thought you were well-versed already in the process and I probably have given you advice that was totally confusing for someone who hasn't done a fair amount of ASM and Melee hacking. There's a great starting point in one of the stickies, if you're still interested in getting into it.
