ASM Text to Emotion

[itsmeGames]

well I took toenailed's RTWE source and I tried to use the text to item part to set something in emotion slot one.

it sort of worked, but it didn't :P

it stores some no emotion thing in slot one

here's the source:

ldr r1,=0x022AF136
mov r5,#0x0
mov r0,#0x8
mov r2,#0xF
loop:
ldrb r3,[r1]
add r1,#1
cmp r3,#0x3A
blt number
add r3,#9
number:
and r3,r2
lsl r3,r0
add r5,r3
sub r0,#0x4
bpl loop

ldr r2,=0x021D8FC8
strb r5,[r2]
bx lr

sorry if I did something really stupid in it, please help fix it though :P


I was also wondering what the address holding the value for the current player (0-3 I think?) so I could make it work for any player

Itsme and I are working on this together

On the posotive it does write to the address we wanted

There are some un-used Emotions which Nintendo for some reason decided not to use. Perhaps we are not correctly interpreting the hex? or maybe theres leading zeros.....

Have you watched the address when you activate the code? What is it writing?

[Area51_Hacker2]

1 in hex I think.

I noticed a couple mistakes with the code and fixed it, making this:

ldr r1,=0x022AF136
mov r5,#0x0
mov r0,#0x4
mov r2,#0xF
loop:
ldrb r3,[r1]
add r1,#1
cmp r3,#0x3A
blt number
add r3,#9
number:
and r3,r2
lsl r3,r0
add r5,r3
sub r0,#0x4
bpl loop

ldr r2,=0x021D8FC8
strb r5,[r2]
bx lr

but it's still not right! it seems to only change the first digit of the emotion and it doesn't do it right either. like any number starting with 1 and any digit afterward gives broken heart, any starting with 2 gives deal cards, etc.

If emotions are 1 byte each...
(Don't feel like checking)

You'll have to add #0x1 to the final text address to get to the correct byte. TTI, by default, gets 2 bytes from the text location. Say you type 01 for your emotion. Well the text address will read 01XX. Then by storing a byte it will place the XX in the emotion slot instead of 01. So to fix this, add #0x1 to the final text address (r5?).

I havn't looked at the source but make sure the TTI only cylces through twice, i.e. if you say 01 it gets the 0 and then the 1. I'll look at the source when I get home and make some corrections I'm sure.

I think that's pretty much the only change I made xP
that and storing a byte instead of a halfword

mov r0,#0x4
mov r2,#0xF

ldrb r3,[r1]

add r5,r3

bpl loop

ldr r2,=0x021D8FC8
add r5,#1
strb r5,[r2]
bx lr

Sigh, try that?
