 Posted: Mon May 05, 2014 5:28 pm Post subject: Kirby & The Amazing Mirror - Weird Value Types [SOLVED] |
 |
|
SOLUTION: Offsets were off by 1. Credits to Methos!
Emulator: Visual Boy Advance (1.8.0 beta3)
Modifying: X and Y Position of Each Kirby
Oddity: Yellow and Green Kirby's X-Position
(Of course, I suppose it's unorthodox how I'm using CE on an emulator when it already has a built-in Cheat search system, but I just feel comfortable using CE!)
Explanation:
I've already acquired the static addresses for all of the Kirbies' (is that even the right plural word?) X- and Y-Positions, but there's something rather bizarre about Yellow and Green.
Normally, their value types would have to be 4-Byte in order to look right (if it's done with 2-Byte or Byte, the value would rise up too quickly and keep reaching to the max, and looping back to 0, and if done with 8-byte...well, it's just a bigger-version of 4-byte, so what's the point). However, in this case, the X-Position of Yellow and Green work perfectly fine in 2-Byte. It looks a lot more manageable, and I wish I could do the same with the other addresses, but of course, I've already explained what happens when I do it.
What would be the solution to making the other addresses work like the Yellow and Green X-Position? If it requires a script (which unfortunately I have not gotten the hang of it yet), what would it be?
Just another oddity to note, though: While I was in the process of finding Pink Kirby's X- and Y-Positions, they also worked perfectly fine in 2-Byte, which is odd considering they weren't static addresses!

Doesn't look all that good, sadly! (Same case with Doubles)

| Your offsets are off, too...are you sure you are working from the proper address?

Alright, so here's what I'm assuming the procedure is supposed to be:
1) Create the 2 Byte Big Endian value type.
2) Change the 4-byte value types (that are not Yellow and Green X-Positions) to the new endian value type.
I did that, but the problem is, it's having the same issue as just a normal 2-Byte Value Type! I even tried to just straight up search for the address, again, with that value type, and I can't find any...
Thanks for the suggestion, though!

I was working from the proper address (which is 005A8F50), but then when I checked the offsets after you mentioned about them, I just suddenly realize there was a mistake that made me feel like an idiot!
You're actually right, the offsets are off...by one. Literally, I had to increase the 4-Byte offsets by one to make them work properly in 2-Byte.
Much appreciation, Methos!
