The DOL mod topic

[IAmProPAGANda]

Whoops, I edited the post with the fix. I just had the wrong returning branch instruction in there, it's not 482382A0 at the end of Code 1, it's 4823822C. That should fix it. That's what happens when I post my notes and not what I actually have finalized in my DOL >.>
@ IAmProPAGANda should make that change too. Sorry about that.

Yeah I just didn't include that part. Thanks for the fix :3

 

[IAmProPAGANda]

Would anyone have any insight as to how I could remove the boarder behind the tag? It is too short when using 8 characters. Here is an example. Or maybe extend it to fit the 8 characters.

 

[Starreaver1]

Yeah this has been a problem for a longgggg time and either no one could figure it out or no one attempted to. But I imagine that if there were a fix it would have been implemented by now.

Edit: Reiterating a question - what can you visually change at the CSS, while you're AT the CSS (like via a toggle)? I know CSP backgrounds can be changed, but what else can be changed? Cursor color, CSPs, icons, buttons..? And if so, how would one go about changing these things?

It's working for me without using anything from code 1. What exactly does code 1 do?

I thought that part of the code was the one that looks at controller input for X at the name entry to toggle lowercase/uppercase.
I could be wrong, my notes are a mess and I mostly just ported the code without thinking about it too much xD

every time a multiplayer battle is loaded (and only multiplayer), the game chooses a background music at random.
This however only applies to stage music, meaning the game will choose one of the following tracks:
Fire Emblem, Balloon Fight, Big Blue, Princess Peach´s Castle, Corneria, Dr.Mario, Flat Zone, EarthBound, Kongo Jungle, Great Bay, Green Greens, Multi-Man Melee 1,
Multi-Man Melee 2, Icicle Mountain, Mushroom Kingdom, Mushroom Kingdom(Finale), Mushroom KingdomII, Mushroom Kingdom(Finale), Fountain of Dreams, Jungle Japes,
Brinstar Depths, Mach Rider, Mute City, Kongo Jungle N64, Dream Land N64, Yoshi´s Island N64, Mother, Mother 2, Battle Theme, Pokemon Stadium, Poke Floats, Rainbow Cruise,
Saria´s Theme, Temple, Super Mario Bros.3, Final Destination, Metal Battle, Battlefield, Venom, Yoshi´s Island, Yoshi´s Story, Brinstar.

Now you can enjoy a 42 track custom soundtrack even if you play FD only.

Could someone with the knowledge please make a mp3 converter with the option of setting loop points? That would be swell....

Anyway I could include the menu01.hps and menu3.hps into this included list of random music?

 

[Starreaver1]

Yes. Replace the 696A at the end (of @1560 onward) with 5759
You can rewrite the code itself to play in a certain order, shuffle like iTunes does, and/or include up to 80 tracks (theoretically).

[Starreaver1]

Ah. I just took a look at the code. You'd have to rewrite it to include more music; however if you want to replace tracks that is an easy task. I somehow never noticed that the last two bytes were just filler *facepalm*

If you knew the offset of which file the image was at it'd probably be doable. Id assume it'd be in the same spot as percents and stock icons, but I don't know where that is either. Also you might have to edit the dat and not the dol.

Hey guys i have been working on a strict DOL for events with basic settings like 4stock/items off/ time limit/ but i seem to be having trouble, i was able to unlock all stages and characters but after that i either does not work or crashes...

I am extremely noobish at this stuff.

I am currently making one for Beast 5, once I'm done with it I can help you. Otherwise, just keep trying with the first post until you succeed.

I'm not sure if the first post mentions this, but basically you need a software called HxD.
Then Ctrl + G paste in the offset they mention in the first post. (except for the 0's in the beginning (and the x)).
There you'll find what numbers/letters to replace and with what.

It doesn't get much simpler than that. ^^

Can someone direct me to a guide on how to hex edit. I'm 100% new to this and have no idea what I'm looking at.

I mean, I gave it a shot off the get-go, and I couldn't seem to find the correct fields to edit.

Thanks in advance ^^

Download Hex Editor Neo.
Open DOL file in it.
In the top left (above the addresses on the left side) there will be a white box where you can manually type a location to go to.
Type the offset for the DOL mod and hit enter. (If the offset is given with a "0x.." In front of it, don't type 0x in.All that means is that the proceeding numbers are in hex format)

You should now see the default code line that is to be replaced. Overwrite this default value with new value.

Ok one last thing, I see that the DOLs are shared openly so I assume thats legal.
Is it illegal to share modded DOLs?

Just wondering since I know sharing ISOs is illegal.

WOW THIS WORKS!!! THANK YOU!!!!

There is one small error with the post though. Where you said "@offset 0x42fcce, change 81400000 to 20000000", I think you mean @offset 0x42fccc. 81400000 isn't @offset 0x42fcce, its @offset 0x42fccc. This worked for me when I used offset 0x42fccc

Did you guys ever make a list of what offsets are being used as to avoid overlapping. Not sure what places are good to write codes for.

 

[Starreaver1]

Yeah an updated OP or Google Doc would be cool. Also I updated some of my posts cuz my notes are sloppy and I pasted some incorrect offsets
As for "safe" injection points, I'm sure that any big block of 00s before 0x003b43a0 is safe, and I know that once you get past the 0x0040000-ish range, injecting there will affect textures (particularly text, this is why the current iteration of the 20xx hack pack has all that garbled text). Achilles would know more, I know he's done extensive testing for safe injection offsets.

Also here are some more codes (I've also posted these as Gecko codes), all v1.02:

Pressing Start at the opening movie sends you to the CSS instead of the title screen.
@ DOL offset: 0x001a7204
Hex to replace: 3860000 -> 38600002

Pressing Start at the title screen boots directly to the CSS
@ DOL offset 0x001AD554
Hex to replace: 38600001 -> 4BE5382C
@ DOL offset 0x000011A0
Inject code:
3C602802 60632D00

On a different note, would anyone like to PM me and help me with improving IE's extended name entry code? I ported it to DOL, but there are some things that I'd like to modify/improve. I'd go to Dan himself if he weren't busy revolutionizing hacking and putting Gecko codes on memory cards lol.

Like, this is an issue

I've been pretty hard pressed for time recently, and won't be able to do much for a few days after today, but if you want you could add me to any conversations on the matter. I may follow along when I get a chance and offer input if I think I can help.

So does the color swap mechanic freeze for anyone else if every once in a while. Like if the person closes their port and opens it. If you pick a different character than pick that one again it works though.
edit: Nvm. It works perfectly. I can't follow directions.

 

[zankyou]

Does anyone know about how files are stored in the ram. It might be possible to add more cps to mnslchr even without relocation entry edits.
Edit: Definitely not possible with relocation entries. But I seem to be on the right track. Too bad the semester is starting soon so I won't have too much time to play with it.

Are you changing the song id thats stored?

Yes. I know I could use replacement files Shamrock-style but I didn't want to rewrite/replace a bunch of stuff in my ISO and I'm happy with how the current code works, for the most part.
Edit: I have custom menu music in menu01.hps, and original menu music in menu3.hps, for example. Not optimal, but I replaced the music files and wrote much of my codes before Shamrock made that breakthrough.

I didnt think you used his method so I was wondering how you got the second set of songs and noticed you backed out of the css to do it. Thanks

It's actually possible to change the in-match music without backing out of the CSS (easier actually), but since music can only be changed during loading cycles (like when loading a stage, going from the title screen to menus/CSS, etc.), I had to force the game to back out to the title screen in order to change the menu music in addition to the in-match music. In-match music would be changed when the match is loading, no need for backing out to the title screen for that.

What about the changes made for interrupts? And are DK's PlCo.dat changes the only ones made in that file?
