Hacking .hack//Infection (How to make Skeith spawn anywhere)

Post by Xu Yuan »

While watching NakaTeleeli on youtube, one of the best .hack// LPer's I've ever seen, I started to get nostalgic for the old games. But after thinking on it for a while I couldn't just play a normal playthrough this time. I wanted to try something new. When I was younger I used to fantasize about playing as any other class but Twin Blade in the original games and now that I'm older and a fair amount smarter I set about making my dream a reality.

After a few hours of scrounging through the data I found what I had been looking for all of these years. And to my grand surprise it was held in one, single, byte. To put that in perspective in an absolute sea of data, classes are controlled by 00-05 with Twin Blade normally being 00. Each character has their own Stat table in the data, as one would guess and the last byte of their separate tables is their class. I was overjoyed when I found this. The way the game handles classes and weapons is strange though... to say the least.

As this is a PS2 game there is a lot of dynamic loading that you can check on while in the middle of testing. Say you have Amateur Blades equipped as a Twin Blade, while when you change your class to 02 (Heavy Blade) your equipped weapon will automatically change to the corresponding weapon type, in this case Amateur Blade turns into Adventurer. In addition your Armor Class will automatically change when you change your class, as you may have guessed. My greatest surprise however was seeing that Kite can support using every type of weapon, so nothing ever really looks off or funny, the only thing though is that when using the more Physical Classes, Kite will call out the wrong names for the attacks and likely do the animation of one of his Twin Blade attacks. Also the Level Up data is also the same, so even if you are a WaveMaster you will have a natural 99 Evade and 99 Accuracy by the end game.

Now I also happened upon a "Character Identifier" byte, which does gives you their corresponding level ups and equipment, but you can't change your equipment unless they're in the party and their skills are imprinted over yours. It is a real shame, but alas.

I wish I could have found the model pointer, but unlike G.U. I do not think that the original games take kindly to a change of leader.

So for those that want to enjoy an old game in a new way, There are five saves prepared, one for each different class (excluding Twin Blade, obviously)

Also here are a few notes if anyone wants to try and make sense of my pretty pathetic note taking (It's not up to Master ZED's talent, that's for sure.)
One set is for ARMAX, another for CodeBreakers, and the third is for an emulator.

It would be great to see these old games get some life again. Hopefully this foray will be just the beginning.

1 - CodeBreaker Save
2 - Action Replay Max Save
3 - PS2 Memory Card

Creating Custom Monsters!

Phew, it's been a long time without an update, but I hit a bit of a standstill, events are very... hefty and draining, especially when you're dealing with dozens of camera commands which take up most of the event... so I put that on hiatus for a while.


I've searched, and searched, and searched for models, but every little lead was a dead end. So I turned my attention to finding Monster Data, the official last piece until a mod could be worked on... and failed for the longest time! Despite the many searches and leads I seem to have found, nothing came of it.

Then while browsing through the SLUS data, I noticed something called EnemyTbl, I literally slapped myself in the head when I went there and it turned out to be the vaunted Monster Data I had been searching for so long. As I suspected enemies work very much like PC's in terms of battle data, without equipment, of course. But I discovered a few other things which I was very glad to come across. Namely the amount of hits it would take to get a Protect Break and the Data Drain Items. I expected the Virus Cores to be hardcoded into the game, that "this Type yields This Virus Core!" But I was pleasantly surprised to see that wasn't the case. Each monster just has a Virus Core as their first attainable Data Drain Item, so you could even make enemies that don't have a chance to drop Virus Cores, or choose to remove Virus Cores entirely. Of course that would be a lot of data searching to accomplish that.

Here's the info. I managed to find on the Monster Data.

Code: Select all

Bytes 206-331 - ???
Bytes 332-335 - Enemy Skill 1
Bytes 336-339 - Enemy Skill 2
Bytes 340-448 - ???
Also as theorized the Phases are right after the normal monsters, but they seem to run on a completely different specialization, unfortunately due to this you can't load a Phase into a normal enemy, as far as I can tell.

Phase Data is also, surprisingly enough, or unsurprisingly, much smaller than the normal monster files, they only have their basic stats and pointers in there. There are surprisingly 48 Phase enemies in all which may, or may not include Cubia, I couldn't quite tell. The majority of Phase dealings are in Phase specific files, so altering them beyond their basic stats is pretty much out of the question.


If it's not already known, all the Phases are officially level 100, which is likely why Skeith hurts so much, I've learned that there is a slight damage increase and slight damage decrease when fighting monsters higher level than you, this isn't really noticeable unless you're fighting one of the Phases though, nothing else has that high of levels on you.

Here are a couple of pictures to demonstrate monster control...

Just a little something I came across was how to find all global commands (which include Treasure Chests, trading, etc) and the first location I came across all of this was at the Chaos Gate, exchanging the Random option for whatever I wanted.

To my surprise I could trade and even gift the Chaos Gate... resulting in humorous exchanges such as this.

Definitely not what I was expecting... especially in Mistral's voice. So they gave voice and text (well not unique, but it was working text and voice at least) to the Chaos Gate, of all things, but when you try to trade with Kite, you get glitch symbols and no voice. How strange.

...This is so awesome i didn't even know what to say about it when i first saw it.
And i still don't know what to say about it, but this awesome topic deserves some random replies at least D;

I see there's no problem inflicting Protect Break either...So, you can indeed play through the whole game as a "different" class with no problems whatsoever. Awesome indeed. Totally makes me want to try it...But sadly, i don't have a Codebreaker/AR, and have been unable to find a properly-working PS2 emulator D: (mostly due to laziness though. lol)

I wonder if Master ZED has looked at this already...

And as of the Chaos Gate thing....Wow XDDD
Maybe it's because the Chaos Gate was, for whatever reason, assigned default values? I see it's full of "empty" Amateur Blades, which i'd like to think is the first weapon in the list, corresponding to the 00. Could be the same with Mistral's voice, being the first voice as well. So in that case, it's not like they "gave" it a working text and voice in purpose...but more like it was filled with default values; kinda reminds me to Digimon World, in how certain unobtainable Digimons had their attack list entirely composed of the very first attack listed, even though they'll never fight and will never attack if you force them into battle. And maybe Kite wasn't assigned even default values, or the part that belongs to the trading is replaced with other code belonging to something else.

It's an interesting thought. But Mistral is actually one of the last party members listed. I would expect, if anything the default trade voice would go to Mia. And you're exactly right about the Amateur Blades 00, it's literally reading "0000 - First Weapon - 00 - Twin Blade - 00 Amount of 0."

As you would imagine Kite has the same trades on him as well, also I hit a bit of a breakthrough last night discovering where Level Up stats are, so in theory you could make Kite fully into another class (except for animations... still haven't figured that one out), Though for now I think I like the hybrid Twin Blade stats-Other Classes Weapons and Armor, in terms of stats. It really shows how important equipment is, playing through as a Wavemaster myself on one of the files and it has been quite a different experience (then again I put restrictions on myself as is. I think I made a topic on those restrictions here, years ago?)

Re: Hacking .hack//Infection (Changing Kite's Class!)

So other than filling out a few more item lists for classification purpose I decided to try out those commands again, what I saw surprised me a bit. I had thought that a lot of this was unique to Roots Towns, but Root Towns just appear to be slightly modified normal areas as far as the game is concerned. Here are the sidenotes from my own notes on the matter and a few pictures I thought were interesting.

Also I've found and completely dissected Shops but to my great disappointment they are rewritten whenever you log back in, this behavior makes no sense as, to my knowledge, shops never change their wares. Maybe its a relic from a past plan? Well, in any case, it pretty much shuts out custom shops.


(Sidenote: the game apparently loads trading menus dynamically, that is if you hack Trade into your menu and use it anywhere, you will trade with the last object you came across, ranging from PC's to NPC's.

Gifting works the same way, you can gift anything from a PC to NPC and you will be met with random voices of your party members, NPC's will even sometimes equip the gear you give them.)

(Sidenote 2: You can apparently add members to your party from the field and they will show up, I don't know why this wasn't implemented at all in the final version)

(Sidenote 3: You can even remove party members while you're on the field where a few strange behaviors come into play, namely they no longer have Exp. appear when an enemy is defeated (but they are still gaining said Exp) and any foe they defeat you still get the exp. for In addition they will no longer have any chat with you, even if dead or dying, on the bright side you don't have to hear the annoying tick when they're in critical.

(Sidenote 4: You can call and dismiss party members in dungeons as well, on another curious note they also have the HP and SP values from when you last saw them (not when they were last dismissed) and they still can die. Calling party members though seems to more often than not spawn them behind a wall so you have to go to the next room to actually see them.

ditto.



Man, I'd love to be able to use those codes ;-;
Too bad my pc is too slow to run a ps2 emulator (got infection to work, but it goes at 5~10% speed, so no good lol) and my ps2 just do NOT want codebreaker to work, even when booting through the memory card ._.



PS: Laughed hard at the names of the pics, especially morepowertoyouweaponsho.png and gladyoulikeitchaosgate.png xD

Oh wow. So...

-The reason why your little exchange with the Chaos Gate was so Mistral-ish was because Mistral was the last character you had interacted with? But if so, were you actually trading with Mistral, or with the Chaos Gate? Same with the new screenshots...Are you actually trading with the Chaos Gate and the Weapon Shop, or with the last characters you talked to? Was it that one character the one who used the Power Book (and so raised their stats), or equipped the Phantom Blades, or it was indeed the actual shop and gate the ones to be doing so? And in such case, is that book pretty much getting lost and affecting no one's stats whatsoever (Except maybe the Weapon Shop stats...whatever they are o-o; )?

-The calling/dismissing party members in fields and dungeons is something i thought possible at first, but was disappointed to see it never happened in the games. It's amazingly great to hear about how it is really possible in some way though. But so, when you dismiss a party member, do they still follow you? Or they just wander wherever they feel like and get into fights (and share the EXP as you noted)? And can they warp out on their own, or they'll remain in the field until you warp out? And what happens when they die, do they disappear or they just stay there all ghostly while hoping someone passes by to revive them? Is it even possible to revive them when not in your team, or you would have to "call" them (in which you'd see they have 0HP, maybe) and approach them to heal them like usual? And in dungeons when you dismiss them, do they wander around? And if so, is it possible for them to wander forward before you, activating a portal and blocking your path (since the doors get locked)? And if they don't defeat the enemies and die, will your path be forever blocked until you leave and enter again?

-And you mentioned at first that Root Towns are just slightly modified areas...So, would it be possible for you to behave there like you would in any normal field, that is with weapons drawed and able to attack and use items? And would it be possible too to trigger a fight in a Root Town, which would act not much different than a battle in any other field?

Sorry for the dozens of questions...But this is all so damn interesting D; And i would be more than happy and willing to try all of this and get the answers on my own if i could, but it's not possible...and even if it were, i don't think i have the knowledge to be doing whatever the heck you're doing to discover and try all of this D: lol

Codebreaker's not working? Is it scratched up or something? If I recall right if you have a Flash Drive you can put that in the PS2 and load the saves from the files into your memory card. At least that's how it works for the AR Max version, I only glanced at the way the Codebreaker does things so I could be wrong.

As to progress... well... heh, apparently there are 102 possible items to get from Any Gott chest, that isn't event specific. As you may guess there are a lot of duplicates in there, but it should be possible to insert my own 1/102 (probably won't be that low) chance actual rare items. Would you believe there are 46 classifications of Gott Treasure, each with 102 open slots? I am sure many of them are used for Key Items and quests, but that's still a fair chunk left to normal fields.

Also thanks to the ELF labels, I believe I've found where equipment stats are kept, but I still can't make heads or tails of skill acquisition. As for models I'm still in the same place. Though I've found references to various models and animations, I can't get the majority to do anything or not crash the game. Though it was interesting to see Mac Anu without any buildings. Likely should have taken a picture of that now that I think on it... I was nulling a field of RTModel data to see if there would be any effect, and I didn't realize at first that RT stood for root town, so I erased Mac Anu, they really made sure that the player normally can't see the end of that field of water and the actual background of Mac Anu, which normally can't be seen due to various structures in the way is fairly interesting.

As for your questions TheSorrow I think I can answer most of them.

And in such case, is that book pretty much getting lost and affecting no one's stats whatsoever (Except maybe the Weapon Shop stats...whatever they are o-o; )?
Just like you two my emulator's speed is abysmal, so I can't even bare to get past anything but the Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground event and I have several savestate set up to test various things, so the only people I have the member address to is Orca (who I found a nifty little way to add back into the party which is probably a complicated way to make it happen) and BlackRose, so no. The Chaos Gate was being traded with and gifted in those two screen shots.

To my knowledge none of my party members changed when I gave the book to the Weapon Shop or the Chaos Gate equipped the Phantom Blades. I'm not sure what was being affected or to what extent with those two items. My guess is somewhere in the data some data went up by 0A to reflect the Power Book change, but heaven only knows where. Though yes. It is indeed the actual shop and gate which were traded with and gifted, I also tried this with various enemies and NPC's in a dungeon, The game seems to only use the "Trade" and "Gift" command as to your current target. It is a bizarre way of doing it, but it works in normal cases.
-The calling/dismissing party members in fields and dungeons is something i thought possible at first, but was disappointed to see it never happened in the games.

And if they don't defeat the enemies and die, will your path be forever blocked until you leave and enter again?
Its odd, but they just wander around fighting what they will, they even still have a good measure of AI, despite having no orders BlackRose was using Calamity in that screenshot, she would not warp away from the area though so its quite likely this may have been planned at one point but then was scrapped for other reasons. She ran around for a bit, but then just eventually stopped. (This might have been related to where she first gated in, probably mimicking the pattern of movement to leave Mac Anu And its odd, but when a PC is not in your party you cannot interact with them in a normal sense, you can only Talk/Trade/Gift, but you cannot heal them in any measure, so extra steps were definitely taken to seperate PC from ?normal? PC? It may have been similar to what they eventually did in G.U. with players showing up on the field in some capacity.

As for dungeons, their behavior is a little more erratic there. Its clear they had no plan to include this (After all Bear does say that there is no skill available to warp into a dungeon in SIGN, hehe). Though your first thought is right, if they are dead and they are not in your party you first need to readd them, then revive them, then do as you will. An unsummoned Party Member in a dungeon will finish whatever battle they're engaged in than simply stop moving.

-And you mentioned at first that Root Towns are just slightly modified areas...So, would it be possible for you to behave there like you would in any normal field, that is with weapons drawed and able to attack and use items?

I enjoy answering questions and it would be great to breathe some life into this old board and game. Any other questions you may have, may give me greater insights into our possibilities.

As for Root Towns, I've seen that you can cast there, but no spell effects or numbers show up, so unlike what AI Buster portrayed, there's little chance of an actual monster attack in the towns, much to my great chagrin... well the game literally uses the same map 8 times for the 8 phase battles, and since they clearly aren't using all 8 in one game, perhaps they can be modified to make copies of towns? Perhaps just wishful thinking. What I should test is to see if you can see numbers and spell effects in Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground, putting monsters there seems fairly interesting, of course that's under the assumption I figure out how Actor loading works in the original games.

I know how that works, but it just won't work on my ps2.
Tried with 4 different versions of Code Breaker both on disc and through booting from the memory card and still nothing.

Well, I always said my ps2 has a mind of his own... guess he just doesn't want to *shrugs*


And congratulations, you just made me start a new save game of Infection in name of my good memories o3o

...that, and I finally started working on that item completion event on Quarantine, which was my only regret regarding what I do or not do in .hack...


You, sir, have my thanks.

Hehe, well the .hack// series is always worth a revisit. Starting from the beginning (well technically that's AI Buster, but that's semantics) and rediscovering it all over again always broadens my horizons when it comes to this series I've followed for so long now.

I didn't think there would be so much unused weapons ._.

I just checked on Quarantine item event list and the name of the Twin Blade one is Twin Mizuchi, not just Mizuchi.
Xu Yuan wrote:1F- Bloody Blades (Again? What?)
The first one is called Bloody Twin and the second is Bloody Blades.
Xu Yuan wrote:11- Steelblade (Why...? This is the name of BlackRose's starting weapon as well.)
There's no Heavy Blade called Steelblade. The first one is called Adventurer ._.
Though that may be because by the time you get to Quarantine she already threw it away (or is it a rare item?). The lowest level weapons BlackRose has on my Quarantine save file are the Shikisokuzeku (Lv18Rare) and the Blessed Blade (Lv22)

EDIT: just checked on Infection and she actually does have a Lv1 sword called Steelblade. Weird.

...and I didn't remember how awesome the Forsaken Light looks :v

PS: Oh god how I miss skeith's theme on my desktop whenever I play a not finished Infection save data :<

Good to know that a lot of the redundancies were fixed from Infection to Quarantine, shows they have a pretty good Q&A department. And unfortunately a lot of those gibberish named weapons aren't unused. The majority are SIGN weapons, not yet implemented (though they still have their right graphics) or Rusty Nails-esque weaponry which are put into the next installments. Though if there are Any weapons to replace, those would be the ones to go for.

Also every single character (except Kite) joins the group with a unique weapon that only they will ever have. Event characters that you give a weapon to in order to join the group have a unique (terrible!) weapon that only they possess. For instance Natsume actually starts with the Kai and Sanjuro starts with the Zero Katana. Also here's one thing I did notice ever until recently. The Ends of Earth blade that Orca has, despite being level 11 is incredibly good! Even for him when you get him back. You can find each unique weapon at the end of each of their respective lists I posted, before Rare items. These are also candidates to change and turn into other items, since the majority of them are nothing to write home about and give the party members some decent weaponry (or starting weapons in the case of Natsume and Sanjuro, maybe start him with the Kikuichimonji to keep his Katana theme)


But I do have some rather important-ish discoveries I made tonight.

I found the location of monsters in the field and the dungeon, but does it ever work in a strange way, as a lot appears to work in this game. And I've marked down all of the monsters Hex identification (thank goodness it is the exact same as the Ryu books presents it, so thank you GameFaqs!) Unfortunately I couldn't load the phases, but I could load Anglemore, The Guardian, and the Dawn Wanderer to my great surprise. The phases are either separate (which is a good possibility, they have a great amount of data devoted purely to their functions) or that the game crashes when more than one could possibly be loaded.

This is just a theory for now but I believe each keyword combination has a certain "Rank" applied to it, that is separate from level, here are my notes on the subject.

Dynamic Loading? When the first three instances of foe are changed in enemylist01 the area level of Busting Passed Over Holy Ground and Busting Passed Over March itself changes to reflect this. For instance if you put three Data Drain monsters in the field the place will turn to Level 0.

Why it would be only these two areas (that I could find) I do not know. Maybe I just got very lucky and the first instance of EnemyList01 refers to the field I had been testing for some time. They were both Water Element fields, but other Water Element fields I could find weren't also effected. It may also be some sort of invisible "Element Rank" that may differ for each element and keyword base used.

Interesting...

The first twelve bytes (3 in total) will show what monsters will appear on the field while the next sixteen bytes (4 in total) will show what monsters appear in the dungeon and if you are early enough in the dungeon the last monster in the field set will also show up in the dungeon. (Floors 1-2) If you're late enough in the dungeon the next four bytes of monster data will appear (Floors 3-5) and if you're near the end of a dungeon the next four bytes of monster data will appear.

Theory: I don't have a 5 floor dungeon to test this on, but its a good possibility that the four bytes after late dungeon ones appear only on B5, since that would make a uniform 20 bytes.

Field/Dungeon Monster Placement

00-03 First Field Monster
04-07 Second Field Monster
08-0B Third Field Monster/Early Dungeon Monster
0C-0F Dungeon Monster
10-13 Dungeon Monster
14-17 Late Dungeon Monster
18-1B Later Dungeon Monster
1C-1F Final Floor Dungeon Monster

In addition I was Completely (and thankfully) wrong about the range of the Gott Statue, there is not a 1/102 chance but something more akin to 1/6, well probably wouldn't put Extremely rare items in there at this point, but 1/6 is still a relatively low chance. All of my tests in Bursting Passed Over Holy Ground with savestates, after opening the chest 30 times it fell into a range of items that were Hand Armor and Armor for each armor set. This may go back to the matter of "Element Rank" discussed earlier. But as it stands finding specific Gott statue treasures seems more trial and error than anything that can be recorded and listed concurrently. Hmm... 102/6 would be 17, If the Element Rank for each server follows something from 1-3, that means each element has 3 Ranks per server, but I would have to wonder what the last 2 sections of treasure would go to. There are 46 Gott Treasure Lists each with absolute tons of lists so that will take a bit more research.

What's with the empty 12F and 130 values there? What happens if you try those? Are there really monsters #304/305, or are those for when a portal opens with a treasure chest? (if so, maybe one is for regular and the other is for risky chests?) ._.

Again, i don't know what to say D;
But this topic is definetly the best IMOQ topic i've ever read since.......Probably my own when i talked about Data Bugs HP and stuff D: lol

Thanks for answering my questions, so i see that non-party characters in Fields behave kinda similar to how they would in Root Towns (though fighting and using skills as they wish), while in Dungeons they just finish their fight (if in any) and just stay there doing nothing. Sweet c: Then there's no fear in getting trapped in dungeons because your ex-party members won't ever travel far from you and trigger battles on their own (thought it's still an interesting thought).

And i see now that, among all your uber-amazing findings you've done recently, you've found the data location of monsters and how to load them in fields (i guess...i got lost somewhere around there). So, have you attempted to load monsters into Root Towns or in Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground? Any interesting results if you've done it?

I think it's more of a "when a magic portal opens, the monsters in this list will appear", so if the area doesn't have a magic portal (like towns or the cathedral), you can't put monsters there. Though there ARE some areas where monsters appear without opening magic portals (those monsters that roam freely through the fields)... /hum

That was just my supposition that two of the phases would occupy those spots, it was just an oversight I forgot to remove, good eye though. To my knowledge they are not Monster Data. It would be nice to know where the actor data is stored, for the Treasure Chest spawning routine and the like but I'm sure its not located anywhere in the enemylist's at least.

It's as Hidora says, unfortunately. I just got extremely lucky that the field type I was dealing with was so close to the top of enemylist01. Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground, along with the 8 Phases battlefields are all considered event area, joining them is Bitter Fantasy Mirror World's outside and... curiously enough, the Bitter Fantasy Mirror World dungeon template, taken from another field all together and a number of the extra dungeons outsides. As much as I've wanted to try and decode events all of my attempts have ended with nothing of value discovered. Now I did record all of the ingame order of event areas (with a lot of help from MasterZED!)

I am not so sure yet what is special about generic fields that allow monsters to free roam.
And if that behavior can even be imported to event locations. I know there is a Magic Potral of course at the end of each of the bonus dungeon areas which contains the boss, but I couldn't find any of those locations through the event area manipulations I had done. I wonder if there's some file I'm missing that deals with Magic Portals I just haven't noticed yet, eh well...

As for today's progress I hate to say it, but its mostly been a bust. Since I couldn't figure out the models from inside the game's memory I decided to take another route, using HackPics I found the model and graphics data for Tsukasa and tried to place him over Kite, only to be met with a game that would no longer load... oy... that was a waste of time. There is definitely a model I want to see in there though. It seems to be an unused character which comes in the data long before any of the other characters. He looks to be a more vicious Moonstone, so to speak. I am sure it has been looked at and discussed before.

In the files there is some reference called "BuffForUnusedFellow" what's important to remember is that Fellow in the game's files seems to mean Party Member. Is it a possibility, that this could be the "UnusedFellow" mentioned?

This may be getting into conspiracy theory-ish territory, but do those 3 dots up there remind anyone of Skeith's eyes in G.U?

A more vicious moonstone? Is there any way to replace a character's model for this one? I'd really like to see how that UnusedFellow guy looks =O
Btw, you may want to look at this (dunno the differences, just saying).

I had thought that what I had was supposed to be the more "advanced" version of that tool, considering what the readme was, haha! Thanks for this. The graphics are a ton clearer!

EDIT: In theory it should be rather simple to replace a model, in practice however it seems like its a fair amount more difficult to carry out.

He's supposedly a "Nosferatu" version of Jutah, Silent Bomber's main character (and the weapon carrying the skill is also called Silent Bomber). That curious symbol thingy is actually the logo of the game:

Interesting to find the skin-thingy there...but well, i suppose all enemies/entities/thingies also load their skin files from the same place as the characters. It really looks like it could be perfectly fitting for a usable PC though, rather than just a summon. Maybe their original idea was to include him as some sort of extra hidden character, but then scrapped the idea and just kept it as a summon, hence the "UnusedFellow"?
