In fact, you don't need Haseo in the 2nd slot either, so remive that code too. Basically, Satoh's line he said to add to the bottom replaces Haseo instead of Emdrance. Apparently. I haven't tried it but I trust Satoh.

@ Satoh: Ah, that explains. it. I had a feeling there was something of the sort psoted SOMEWHERE I just didn't have the patience to scan every post in this thread since I am an impatient tard. When you said page 14 at first I was like "Huh? All the files are in notepag, there's no page numbers!" but then I noticed "wait, this thrrad is over 20 pages... forum page 14, maybe?

Learning how to find what I need in PS2dis now. I hope. The explanations have helped a lot but sadly I've never found a search function in PS2dis so, uh, yeeeeah, this might take awhile... Anyways thanks, Satoh! (And Zed for being the one posting the explanations, all those months ago! About 10 actually, according to page 14)

Edit: WHOA WAIT! Since I know the generic class offsets, does this mean that I can use the information in the save dump to learn how to hack a character's class? Like, replace Haseo's weapon I use the least to give him a mage subclass?

PS2DIS's search function is in Edit -> Find Pattern

Normally people write hex numbers like this, in order to show that they are NOT normal decimal numbers:
22h
or
0x22

0x22 is equal to 34 in normal decimal counting.

If my fiancee were here right now she'd be giving me permission to hug you (lol) thanks!

In all seriousness, I think I just got too used to the Ctrl + F shortcut.

Ahh, see, I knew about 22h, but 0x22 always made me wonder what people were talking about! Thanks for explaining that part for me! (I've been modifying existing codes since I was 10 (even if it was mostly taking "0A" and turning it into "FF"), and being 20 now, that means 10 years, and you'd have thought I'd accidentally learn that in 10 years, but apparently not! Well, now I know! Thanks, things should start to make more sense now!)


Well, armed with this newfound knowledge (mostly the search, of course,) I should finally be able to get to work and testing my own attempts! I`m sure that I`ll hit a brick wall more than once, but I won`t ask for help unless I need it, now that I finally know how to use ps2dis properly! Thanks again Satoh!

By the way I have a way you all can help me out. I'm looking for a good weapon to mask over the Spell Warning Chord, which is Enju's supposed staff...(it was left unfinished and looks like the basic Spell Xialin level 1 staff... which sucks.)

So, if anyone happens to use Atoli or Piros, I'd like some suggestions on either a good looking (but uncommon) staff or Lance that could work... (Lances are the only other weapon I could think of that might pass as a 'staff')

I never used either of them... so I don't know what hardly any staves or lances look like.

Off the top of my head I guess I'd suggest the Spell Noble, since it's the only non lost weapon staff I've seen a lot of, having been stuck maxing out my Volume 2 WP in the arena against "We <3 Master Haseo" which has 2 harverst clerics, before obtaining Volume 3... but if you don't like that one I'll be happy to hack Atoli into slot 1 and obtain every staff and check the one after the other! After all, I had been considering doing that myself for awhile.

I had actually considered a lance as a staff myself, but look at how massive they are... just really wouldn't work, IMO. especially with how the staff is swung. Though if I may make a suggestion? Enju/Sophora is already a twinblade, right? And using a broadsword over a twinblade makes 2 broadswords, right? So woulf a twinblade over a single weapon make one dagger, esentially? That might be kind of cool!

But hey, I already have Atoli in slot 1 from testing that Aina code, so if you still want an opinion on good staves for Sophora, I will be happy to test and suggest!

Edit: Gotcha, thanks, Satoh!

Master ZED wrote:That "- Ticking Death" thing is incorrect. Weapons of rarity five and Lost Weapons don't get prefixes at all; a blank prefix would come out as " Ticking Death".

Of course, equipment rarity can be changed with the data in GUEquip.txt, as can a lot of other things.

And yes, of course you can write an entirely new name for anything if you find adequate blank space (I thought I already pointed to some in my previous post?).

My Divine Hakubi (named in tribute to Washu) was IYOTEN's dummied improved sword with new effects, but otherwise yes, it's very similar to your process. There's just no blank; before I knew where the weapon stats were, I used Combo Assist to slap on the Divine name, and afterward, changed the rarity and wrote it in myself.

Also, I don't recall where in the thread it was posted, but for changing classes and such, most of what you need that you can't figure out for yourself is in the model FAQ, actually. Hell, you can create your own class, if you like, since the skill sets of every last class can be altered via CodeBreaker along with the names. For example, if I wanted to make a generic Endrance, name him Elk, have him use a staff and give him the "Wavemaster" class with two new spells learned every level, making him the most powerful mage character in the game, it'd take a large number of codes, but I could do most of that just with the FAQ and Skiller's skill list. The name could be taken care of with Satoh's explanation of how menu text in this game works, if you need it.

And @TSK
With the codes I posted for Endrance looking like Skeith and Haseo using Endrance's model (thus making Haseo look like Skeith as well) Skeith[Haseo] will use whatever weapon Haseo is using, Skeith[Endrance] will use Endrance's weapon.

To get the code for force equipping Endrance's weapon, look in the file GU3charactermodelchanger.txt, look for the line that says "10B46A2C 0000???? - Haseo's weapon's item type (weapon, armor, accessory)" the line below that is the code to force equip a weapon to Haseo. It is exactly 2 more (in hex) than the Weapon item type code. (Look at the codes...
You will see this:
10B46A2C
10B46A2E

C + 2 in hex is E. Hex numbers count like this:

Code: Select all

Hex: 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  A  B  C  D  E  F
Dec: 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 11 12 13 14 15

After F it rolls over to 10. (10 in hex is equal to 16 in decimal.)

Normally people write hex numbers like this, in order to show that they are NOT normal decimal numbers:
22h
or
0x22

0x22 is equal to 34 in normal decimal counting.

This is something you will have to get used to in code hacking.

Now, back to the weapon code. We know that Haseo's Weapon Item is 2 more than his Weapon Type. That pattern is the same for every character. So to find Endrance's Weapon Item code, we look up his Weapon Type code, which is in the same txt file.

That code is this:
10B46B70 0000???? - Endrance's weapon's item type (weapon, armor, accessory)

So if you add 2 to the end of the first set of numbers, like we did for Haseo, we get:

10B46B72 0000???? [- Endrance's current weapon]

Even though the code isn't listed directly in the txt file, we can apply patterns in order to figure out what the code WOULD be. We find patterns by looking at what happens in other people's codes. Just like we did for Haseo.

Understand?


Also, to find an actual weapon to put into the code, you look in the file "DHG3Digits\Equipment Mod DIgits\DHG3WeaponDigits.txt"

for the number of a weapon you want to use and replace the ???? with that number.

Example:
00FB = Shadowy Death (Growth level 5)
This is written in, close to the bottom of the file...

Add it here:
10B46B72 0000???? [- Endrance's current weapon]
becomes
10B46B72 000000FB [- Endrance's current weapon is now Shadowy Death]

10B4E8B4 000000?? - Gabi Current Player [ Character 1 ] and [ I actually forgot what number is Gabi Because I've save that code in my Mind Lol.
10B46C6C 0000???? - Gabi's weapon's item type (weapon, armor, accessory)
10B46C6E 0000???? - Gabi's CURRENT weapon.
Adding 0035 - Slaid.
10B46C6E 00000035 - Now Gabi's CURRENT weapon is Slaid.

Code: Select all

Hex: 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  A  B  C  D  E  F
Dec: 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 11 12 13 14 15

After F it rolls over to 10. (10 in hex is equal to 16 in decimal.)

22h
or
0x22

0x22 is equal to 34 in normal decimal counting.

Step 1: Find the model file.

In this case, we want someone who's already generic, so this is easy. Look in hackstract or any other program that can view what's in the DATA.CVM file, and look for Kaochin's model skin. Long story short, it's in 2pcfz4 (the z's mark unique Chaotic PK models, save Natsume who is just 2ntm02). Searching through the save dump, you should come across three instances of the model filename:

1. 004CB1F8
2. 0092E588
3. 00B374D4 (Ignore this last one, I don't know what the game needs it for)

Either of the first two will do for our search.

Step 2. Backtrack to the main model pointers.

Here's where you use your Find option to look for the main model pointers when looking up a generic PC. 0092E598 is the start of this particular model file's lookup, the first one being the full path and the other two just the filename, both without extensions. Search for 98 e5 92 00, and you'll stumble upon this:

Image

Look at the model format in the guide, and you'll see that the value you searched for is in the PC model offset, so we've found what we're looking for. As for what it's doing here and not in the first pointer, this is because generic PC's use a 2pcc0* file in place of where an SPC would place their main model file (so, comparing to Piros, it would go where 2pir01 goes). 2pcc0* files can make use of many models that are placed in the PC model offset, which SPC's ignore because they already have the necessary data. In the case of a generic PC, the final step is simple.

Step 3. Copy the model offsets to the character you want.

Copy codes use this format:

5XXXXXXX YYYYYYYY
ZZZZZZZZ 00000000

Where X is the offset to copy from, Y is the number of bytes to copy, and Z is the offset to copy to (hopefully you'll never need to copy from an offset higher than 0FFFFFFF). Since Kaochin's data starts at 009AA77C, and Piros 2nd starts at 0095AB8C, you'd write this to use Kaochin:

509AA77C 0000002C <- 2Ch = 44 decimal, the exact amount of bytes in the model format.
0095AB8C 00000000

And that's it, Piros 2nd should now be an exact replica of Kaochin!

Now if what you want is a monster, SPC, NPC or whatever, the process is slightly altered. Step 1 is the same, so:

Step 2. Backtrack one step from the filename or file path.

We'll use Aina for an example since she's an NPC. Her file's name is either 2ain01 (infected) or 2ain02 (post-Rebirth). I'll use the latter.

Once you look up 2ain02 and go back one step, you'll see this:

Image

Obviously we can go back further, but for a generic, we want to stop here. 009AAA98 is what we need for the task.

Step 3. Find a generic PC that fits the model we want well enough to not look really stupid.

Aina's a human girl, so we want/need to look up the main model offsets for a generic human female PC using the process from before. Thankfully, we have Kaochin already (009AA77C). Of course, if we found it funny to have her sniff the air like a dog, we could look up a beast female instead, or for more hilarity, a beast male. The game doesn't care if we want a tomboy, a really flamboyant gay dude, or a furry trying to role-play a beast while still clearly playing a hairless ape.

Step 4. Write the appropriate codes.

The copy code saves us time, but we can't just copy the whole thing in one fell swoop. We need to do two copies and one code for writing in Aina's model. First, the generic PC model offset starts at byte 20 (if we start at 0), so we copy the first twenty bytes from Kaochin's data... let's use Atoli 3rd for this:

509AA77C 00000014
0095A848 00000000

Now we write in Aina's model offset to the generic PC offset:

2095A85C 009AAA98

Finally, we copy the last 20 bytes of Kaochin's data since Atoli has other files linked up that will interfere when the game tries to load our new Aina clone:

509AA794 00000014
0095A860 00000000

And that's it, we just created a generic PC clone from an NPC using Atoli's 3rd model. You can use this process to turn many characters (SPC's, NPC's, some monsters, etc.) into generic PC's to do anything with, but some of them will give you that stupid box instead (or add the box onto the character, as uninfected Ovan does), and that's usually followed up with freezing when you try to move, so be careful. Larger characters will be among the first to do this, so while you could become a Carrie in theory, you're not going to be a Tinder Baron or The One Sin, or Corbenik for that matter, through this process. Even something like Cubia Gomora will be troublesome despite appearing to work somewhat at first (it doesn't give a box, but half of it's in the floor and it freezes when it moves too much).

I hope that makes sense.

I've actually Understand some and Some nope..

What I've understand is EVERY generic PC have a shortcut. EXAMBLE: what you've say:

'' 2ain02 '' Ain.. Witch it's mean Aina Am I right?

Or '' 2ntm02 '' Who is Natsume. N T M.

~~

I'LL SAY ONLY WHAT I'VE GET! Because I'm VERY! Beginner IN THIS!! AND THIS IS MY FIRST STEPS! So Don't mad or something if I dump around Because I'm REALLY into this. I need it! Anyway.


As for Kaochin she's a Girl I don't know from where But I'm sure she is.

Alright her code will be: 009aa790 0092e598 << I don't know really how/where that come from And there is many codes are shown with it in the Picture. :



In anyway. Her Job just like Piros. Alright you guys were want to Replace Piros to Kaochin. Right..? And Piros code were: 0095AB8C << That what were wrote in there only the Beginning of the Code.. Am I right? Also I dunno where that come from.

Okay.. After that you guys Have take Kaochin's First Code witch it was:

509AA77C - First code of Kaochin after that you've Continue it by that: 0000002C - I Really have NO IDEA where that come from.

So it was like this: 509AA77C 0000002C

Under it you guys have take Piros First Code as : 0095AB8C and then 00000000 << THis one too No idea.

After you guys wrote the Fully Code:
509AA77C 0000002C
0095AB8C 00000000
You've changed Piros The 3rd into Kaochin.. Am I right..?

~~ As for Aina. You've take Her code and it was: 009aaa98 0092f858 << That were from your own program. And the same thing as Kaochin's Code there was MANY Codes with it in the Picture:



And same thing goes for Aina too The beginning of the Code has taken witch it's 009aaa98. Then you've go to Find a Generic PC [ Female generic PC ] right? And you were Having Kaochin. Withc it was: 009AA77C. << The Beginning of the Code too ( o____O )

After that you've write a Code About Atoli and Kaochin I really didn't Get it. and it were:
509AA77C << Beginning of the Code that for Kaochin and 00000014 << I wonder where that comes from too.

And then Aina code offset to generic PC offset: ( I dunno what offset But I'll google translate it and see. )

2095A85C << Witch I really don't get that where comes from. and then 009AAA98 << Aina's Beginning Code.

then You get Atoli Witch it replaced by Kaochin's Data into Aina:
509AA794 00000014
0095A860 00000000
The Whole Code I didn't get it Lol. But half of them were from Kaochin AND Aina.

~~

Now to make a New Generic PC The Code will be like this:

???????? - That would be from the Program. And 000000?? - I wonder where the last two numbers WILL come from and The Second line will be: ???????? << Just like the Above. And 00000000 Right..? So it's like this:

???????? 000000??
???????? 00000000

To make a Generic PC. Right..? My first steps and I THINK! It's good a Bit....

Am I on the right track or am I barking completely up the wrong tree?

I think I'll stick to the basics for a bit longer. I'd like to learn how to modify classes properly first before I get tied up in generics. I'll be content to help other people's testing, but for now, I think it'd be nice to re-read Zed's class list explanation and see if I can apply that to make Haseo able to use magic on the skill trigger while trading in one of his weapons for a spell list and still being able to advance the story. It looks like it, given the Sophora example but the game only showing Twin Blade in the status menu.
