The GmEvent.dat

[Brandondorf9999]

The GmEvent.dat has data for each event in the event match mode and all of these codes are messy and hard to edit. I'm sure the example of the hex from there would be this:

00 00 2B 44 00 00 25 98 00 00 01 1B 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1E 00 00 00 3C 2B 80 01 02 00 00 00 CA 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FB FC FF 00 00 00 00 3F 80 00 00 3F 80 00 00 3F 80 00 00 08 00 02 00 FF 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 3F 80 00 00 3F 80 00 00 3F 80 00 00 05 01 02 00 FF 00 04 00 00 04 01 00 00 00 00 00 3F 4C CC CD 3F C0 00 00 3F 80 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 30 00 00 00 4C 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2B 80 01 02 00 00 00 CB

I'm not sure how to find which part of that can be edited in the file, but the characters with these params will load that. It also has other parameters that are loaded in the event match when they are assigned to them. If anyone can help me edit them in that file, please help me identify the IDs for characters, music and such for the file so I could change the event parameters even the ones like "Triforce Gathering".

I have a feeling that bytes such as the 02 at offset 0x2B might be item spawn rate

0x50 controls the P1 character for Event Match 1

Try changing the P1 character ID to 0x21.

I figured out almost everything related to this file earlier this week, actually. But I was always changing things in the RAM right after the game loaded the file. I'm glad to know that changing the character ID in the file automatically changes the displayed character name when selecting an event match. That's so great.

Here are my sloppy notes.
[COLLAPSE="Editing Event Matches"]

---EVENT MATCH POINTERS---
    0x00  short  (0x20 multiplied by number of players in match)

GmEvent.dat holds all this info!!

0x24EC in GmEvent.dat = 00000060 (=00000080 as file offset) = first event match info pointer (first event match in table mentioned above)

The pointer to Event Match 2 is at 0x24F0, etc.

Try changing the P1 character ID to 0x21.

Better suited for event 51. You'll never 100% Melee now!

If you want a slightly more possible challenge, replace the hex at 0x6C with 1D 01 63 and go to Event 1. (0x52 with 01 for a worse challenge. You've probably figured out that that represents stock )

It doesn't make it so that you can choose any character for the event?

Whoops, I thought it would just become None.

 

[Brandondorf9999]

What are the all the IDs for each parameter and characters so I could get a better idea on changing that with HxD? I want to load "Zelda" in the event "Time for Checkup" instead of "Peach" for that example.

EDIT: There's one id that I found in that event and it's "Luigi". That id is 07. Dumping the ids would be a great idea.

 

[Sparkpin]

The IDs are in the same order as the Debug Menu, with Captain Falcon as 00. Peach's ID is 0C.

Is there a way to add another character in the event match event and use Giga Bowser as a player in this match?

 

[Brandondorf9999]

I'm not sure where the stage ID is located in the events, but I can't find it there. Can someone locate it on each event lines?

EDIT: Found it, it's through debug
