Room Message Expander [CLF78] - CLF78 - 05-03-2021

This code will let you add more room messages than the game normally allows (and also replace existing ones). Please check the Notes below before using this code.

Notes:

XXXX = Total amount of messages
YYYYYYYY = Address of the array of the BMG IDs (use a 06 code to store the BMG IDs as halfwords)
This does not allow adding more "room start" buttons (i haven't figured out how to make them work properly yet, besides removing existing ones).
All users must be running the code for it to take effect. Users without it will receive the original messages (or none at all if the message ID is bigger than the amount of original messages).

ASM Sources:

Load BMGs from custom array:

Code:
# Set array location here

.set BMGArray, 0xXXXXXXXX

# Modified original instruction

slwi r0, r0, 1

# Load the BMG ID

lis r3, BMGArray@h

ori r3, r3, BMGArray@l

lhzx r3, r3, r0

# Copy of the game's original instructions to return directly from here

addi r1, r1, 0x1A0

blr

Hide button if message doesn't exist:

Code:
# Original instruction

mr r20, r3

# Check if BMG is 0

cmpwi r3, 0

bne+ end

# Replace r20 with -1 to hide message button

li r20, -1

# Return

end:

I think, this is a bug and 0262C906 0000XXXX is correct.
(verified with my new porting command)

RE: Room Message Expander [CLF78] - JoshuaMK - 05-05-2021

That's likely just a simple typo on their part. It doesn't affect anything though as the codehandler will automatically align the calculated address if it is odd like that

RE: Room Message Expander [CLF78] - Wiimm - 05-05-2021

But it is most likely undefined behavior because this feature is not really documented (Am I wrong?). And if porting to C or real assembler, it is simply a wrong address. So it is better to fix it.

RE: Room Message Expander [CLF78] - JoshuaMK - 05-05-2021

Yes it should be fixed, I was simply explaining why it could be working in that state Tongue

RE: Room Message Expander [CLF78] - CLF78 - 05-06-2021

Oh i did not notice the typo, it's fixed now. Thank you for reporting!

I noticed it only, because I verify my new address porting command ("wstrt PORT") with all new cheats.
