Fixing the RNG

[Flayl]

It is possible through GeckoOS to fix the random number generator brawl uses to determine waddles, turnips, luigi misfires and the decisions AI makes in VS mode?

It would be interesting to see how AIs would play if they weren't told how to "do stupid move now" or "perform move x hundreths of a second too early/too late".

This is all assuming the highest/lowest number equates to making the "best" decision. Of course the programmers weren't exactly pros at the game.

If the decisions are purely time based, is it possible to fix the game clock to (not match timer, game clock) to one value?

Other applications for this... Well this would break the random stage selector if it works.

The same player in an online match would always choose the rules (and the stage?).

If you know a way to do this or a way for me to investigate, let me know.

It's possible. We had a discussion and most people hated the idea. I don't know why Peach mains feel her ability to pull a bomb or sword is part of her metagame, but whatever. It's a topic I'd rather not dig up cause a lot of people got really upset over it.

Yeah, I remember when this came up before. Didn't go over so well.

 

[Flayl]

Well I'm not asking you to implement it in your mods I just want the code =/

I've been looking for this code myself. I really want to play around with turning off Dedede's gordo, Peache's stitch radish or bombomb, and Game&Watch's hammer. I have no comments on the meta game of each character. I mostly play 4 player brawl plus with no items. and my friends love to spam those 3 moves until they instant kill someone. I think removing the random number crit check from these moves would be better than changing the random number generator itself...then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Use CAM

Find the ID for D3 throwing a Gordo

Change it to the ID for him throwing a Doo

....

Profit

We never got those IDs cause the the idea was met with such a harsh backlash.

Things like this are extremely easy using the Conditional Action Modifier. But people hate it with a passion.

 

[timothyung]

Some don't hate it, like Flayl. And he just wants the code, so this is kind of a code request I would say.
BTW how's the discussion going on in the WBR? And do we need to bring this topic up sometime later?

But that's modifying 1 thing at a time, isn't there a way to go directly to the matter, the RNG?

There's RNG in Brawl? Well, with that aside, it's not like it could have any broken effects like in the Pokemon series.
