[Request] Random Track Music - Yuri Bacon - 08-06-2021

There is already a code that can randomize the track .szs itself made by CLF78 (https://mkwii.com/showthread.php?tid=1659&pid=7976#pid7976). A similar code that could let you give tracks multiple .brstm files and pick them at random every time you race them would be pretty cool for adding custom music to your own game, not limiting you to hearing the same song every time.


RE: [Request] Random Track Music - CLF78 - 08-06-2021

I've made this code a month ago, just never bothered to port it and post it. It's kinda untested so i don't know how much it will work.

Code:
# Hook (PAL ONLY) = 8009E0BC

# Address Ports (PAL ONLY)
.set UtilRandint, 0x800F2EE0
.set Racedata, 0x809BD728
.set sprintf, 0x80011A2C

# Exception Vector Values (DON'T PORT)
.set LastVariant, 0x800001B0

# Check if we are loading a track song by checking the file's first character
lbz r3, 0x15C(r1)

cmpwi r3, 'n'
beq+ isTrack

cmpwi r3, 'S'
beq+ isTrack

cmpwi r3, 'r'
bne end

This is awesome! I don't know how to compile ASM tho, so I'll be patient for when you release it, however long it takes.

There are four different programs to compile PPC ASM to Wii Gecko Codes
  • PyiiASMH 3
  • CodeWrite
  • PyiiASMH (legacy)
  • WiiRD GUI

I think there's also a fifth that the Smashboard community uses, iirc.

Anyway, PyiiASMH3 is the most modern and has the most features - https://mkwii.com/showthread.php?tid=1529

The four fields that you need to be concerned with are the left hand box, right hand box, address, and type.

To compile:
Place the code's source into the left hand box. Some sources have a region compilation setting value that must be filled in beforehand, and/or other values that may also need to be filled in, it all depends on the particular source and how the coder/dev wrote it. Even if you don't know PPC ASM, chances are there will be instructions within the source on how to fill in said missing values.

Set the Code Type for the source (C0, C2, etc). If it's C2, you need to set the address (the hook/insertion address).

Hit the right hand arrow button and the source will compile to a Wii Gecko Code. If any error occurs, PyiiASMH3 will tell you which line(s) in the source are preventing the compilation. If it doesn't tell you the line(s), then the source was botched and/or the labels it uses (i.e. for branch instructions) were bad. If that's the case, contact the Coder/Dev who wrote the source for a fix.



To decompile:
Pretty much the opposite. Take the Gecko Code, place it in right hand box. Set it's code type. Address doesnt matter ofc because you already have it. If a Wii Gecko code has values to fill in, fill those in or else it cannot be decompiled. Hit the left hand arrow button. Code will be decompiled to a generic source.

I know I probably wouldn't actually get a usable code out of this but gave it a shot anyways.

 - I use NTSC-U, so I had to port the addresses with wstrt port. The hook address was "unverified".
 - IDK what code type it is, so I picked C2 as the code type.
 - CLF78 never said where it loads the extra BRSTMs from, so I guessed that it worked like the Track Randomizer code.

Got the code compiled and inserted into the main.dol, added extra BRSTMs with Riivolution, and all I get is that Mario Circuit (only track set to 1, all others I left at 0) has no music (including lap 3). Other tracks are fine. Maybe I put the files in the wrong place, maybe I compiled as the wrong code type, and/or maybe the hook address is incorrect, but I don't have any way of knowing for these 3. CLF78 said the code was untested anyways, so maybe it just doesn't work.

So yeah, I think I'll wait for the code to be finished up on.

Here is the source and compiled code I used, for shits and giggles.

Code:
# Hook (USA ONLY) = 8009e01c

# Address Ports (USA ONLY)
.set UtilRandint, 0x800f2e40
.set Racedata, 0x809b8f68
.set sprintf, 0x80010ecc

# Exception Vector Values (DON'T PORT)
