The DOL mod topic

1. It wasn't a bug. That was 100% intentional.
2. SDR removes this, you should seek there first.

It wasn't a bug? why would they do that?

It wasn't a bug? why would they do that?

Because Sakurai found that Kirby was too strong in the 1st Smash game on the N64, and nerfed his throws among many things to that character.

Because Sakurai found that Kirby was too strong in the 1st Smash game on the N64, and nerfed his throws among many things to that character.

He could have nerfed his throws in many other ways, the escape during throw looks awkard, it must be an oversight just like mr g&w's inability to l cancel some aerials.

Even with his throws fixed kirby is still probably pretty trash.

 

[Ray_Rages]

Sorry for a nooby question but can anyone walk me through injecting the menu music from sound test code into my DOL?

 

[TheBearsFist]

So I have managed to get almost everything running. All I am struggling with is the Stage Striking Code for PAL.

When I paste it into the empty code @000BE0 I just get crashes. Is there an extra step I am missing? I read though the notes and honestly barely understand it.

The code im using is this

@ TheBearsFist You check the address that your C2 branches to (in this case, 25AEF4), you remove the first 2 hexes (the C2 and the 00000025) then you set a branch from that address to your custom code (the in-game address, not the DOL address. Usually, the address 0 of the DOL is 3000 in the game). At the end of the code, replace the 00000000 to return back to where the code was, after the branch (25AEF4 + 4 = 25AEF8).

I have yet to get this to work even with the guide. I have found free space and no crashes but can't find the ingame branch locations due to only owning a mac.

I have used the Debug mode launcher for Mac but it crashes when I try to use the cheat Search function. Same with 6445 and 6441.

Any ideas?

Use the Memory view, not Cheat Search in debug mode. Go to 8025AEF4 by putting it in the box on the top right of the Memory view. It'll jump to that address. Right click (Or whatever the **** Mac has) and copy the hex. Paste it into a document, then do it for the next 2 lines.

Now open your trusty Hex Editor that you're editing the DOL with. Go to the Search (Ctrl+F on Windows, unsure on a Mac), set it to search for Hex, then grab the 3 lines for you document and paste them without any spaces. You should find the region in the DOL for that code, assuming you have enough lines for it to be unique enough. If not, go back to the first paragraph.

Once you've found the region, you'll need to make a branch to the free space you found. I'll try to calculate that for you later. It's basically "000BE0 - line in DOL where the line on 8025AEF4 was found = branchaddr". Then you'll plug in "b branchaddr" into ASMWiiRd (Or whatever you happen to use) to convert it to hex. You'll use that to replace the XXXXXXXX value (The hex you copied first into the document) where 8025AEF4 is in the DOL.

To finish it, you'll need to do the reverse. This time, you'll grab the address for the last line your code will need, so where C022CA40 is located + 4. (00CA8 if my math is right. Did it in my head.) From there, you'll do "(Line in DOL where 8025AEF4 is + 4) - 00CA8 = BranchBackAddr" and you'll make a "b BranchBackAddr" to hex. That'll go at the end of your code.

Let me know if there are any problems

I want to inject this code into my 20XX dol. Offset 0x4283E4 looks like it's being occupied by another code already. Can I find another spot to inject it?

 

[SillyGoose]

anyone know if its possible to write a dol mod that only allows select characters to wall jump? I'm in love with the "all characters can wall jump" mod but jiggs + peach wall jumping can easily be abused

 

[Aerros11]

-to check if it´s safe to use that space load up the develop version of dolphin and simply put 1 big memory-breakpoint for all the memory addresses we just modified (80004420 - 8000448c) and just play a bit. If the game never breaks, it never uses those memory addresses and it´s safe to use them.

3.Adding the branches to and from the code
-now that we know the memory is not used by the game, we can add 2 simple branches to and from the custom code

lazy method with ASM<>WiiRd converter that doesn´t require any thought:

branching backwards
b 0x (FFFF FFFF - (start memory address - end memory address) )+1
in this case
(FFFF FFFF - (801a415c - 80004420) )+ 1 = FFE602C4
--> enter "b 0xFFE602C4" into converter
--> 4BE602C4 assembler instruction that has to be inserted into the dol where the code would normally be injected

branching forward
b 0x end address - start address
801a4160 - 8000448c = 19FCD4
--> enter "b 0x19FCD4" into converter
--> 4819FCD4 assembler instruction that has to be inserted where we wrote "FEDCBA98"

It's not explained how 801a415c nor 801a4160 was found.

Any time these "A-to-B" explanations skip a step and become "A-to-C", finding the B point becomes so time consuming and frustrating @__@'|l

He explains it in the title of the next step. 801a415c is the injection point for that code.

So you're telling the game to branch from 801a415c to your custom code. Then at the end of your custom code, you branch back to 801a4160, which is code line immediately after the injection point.

You're absolutely right in defining what 801a415c-60 are, but...
...I meant more so that after finding these addresses: "80004420 - 8000448c"
It's not explained how to use those addresses to find the next addresses: "801a415c - 801a4160"

I got lost somehow but thanks for the tip on using DRGN's tools. I'll be using that now.
And you're a great moderator, btw! (b'--')b

It's the first line of the code. That's how you know.

C21a415c XXXXXXXX

The XXXXXXXX is just for the Gecko codehandler to know how long the C2 injection code is. I forget what the specific value is for that code.

These last two are less important than the others. I'd really love to learn how to mess with all these files so I'd appreciate any kind of help, including showing me how to convert Gecko>DOL, if there is a way, that is.

*Facepalm* Thanks, this is awesome!

 

[xXadevs2000Xx]

Is there a dol code or something similar that takes away the extended grapple from Samus or the bomb jump after grapple in midair? I really need this. (I know it is in PAL, this is for something else)

 

[Kekker]

How do I recognize inputs from the gamecube controller? I'm trying to make a code where d-pad up on CSS disables tap jump, but I have no idea how to set that up.

 

[Nagol]

can anybody help me with a DOL mod. i'm trying to change where the game looks for team colors of certain characters when team battle is selected. An example of what I mean is currently for peach when her red color is selected it goes to her default color, I want to change it so it looks to her daisy skin. I need to do this only for a few characters so if anyone is interested in helping me out in any way it would really be appreciated.

 

[Kadano]

For information on this one please check out the gecko codes thread

[COLLAPSE="Stage striking a la PM Inject"]

Stage striking a la PM [Sham Rock]

Stage striking now works like it does in P:M
X = ban currently selected stage
Y = ban all stages that aren´t allowed in random, unban all that are allowed
Z = unban all
Banned stages can´t be selected anymore, however they can still be selected when someone chooses "random"

[/COLLAPSE]

Is there a simple way to change the color of the striked overlay from white to black for PAL? Achilles1515 , would you know maybe? The code for PAL in DRGN 's Melee Code Manager v2.1 still has white overlays, black ones would look much nicer, especially on CRT.
I was looking for an FFFFFF string, but there is none, so I guess the function calls to some background color that's already there "behind" the stage select screen somewhere?

Yeah, it's easily changeable. If you open up the text file in the Mods Library that that code is in, there's a note in there about how to change the code to use black instead. I just checked, and that code is in the file 'Game Mode and Menu Behavior.txt'.

If I remember correctly, the "white version" is truly all white, but the other version isn't black for every stage and it looks pretty bad (the color used is from the border of the stage icon, but not all the borders are the same color). This can be remedied by editing all the stage icon borders to have pure black color. I'm not sure if Sham Rock ever posted the download link here, but here is a download link he gave with MnSlMap files with modified black borders.

IMO though, this version of the stage striking code looks the best.

 

[Kadano]

Thanks for your help! Sham Rock's modded files together with the altered code work fine.

That's for 1.02 only though, right? I need it for a PAL iso for tournament play.

If you haven't ported it already, don't bother. The black overlay one is not as beautiful, but good enough.

 

[JMO]

How do you make Ness down B jump cancelable (or any move for that matter)? I know you do it by modding the DOL but I have no clue how to determine the right code.

 

[Brandondorf9999]

I found an code that sets the default option in the Game Over screen in the dol and here it is:

Spoiler: Set Default Continue Option [Brandondorf9999] (1.02)

00 - No
01 - Yes (default)

 

[Super4ng]

Does anyone know if there is a code that allows Samus to charge neutral B in the air? It would really nice if it also was like sheik's needles where releasing b shoots the projectile (unlike mewtwo where you have to press b again to fire).
