I see the problem with yours. Looks like you're using the use water tactics anywhere change but the values it's reading aren't the same as in my ROM because you changed bandit force, etc… (not your fault). I'm going to change this code area anyway for my next enhancement so perhaps we can just wait for that? Just work on portraits or something for the next day :)
>_< …
Haha. It's pretty crazy to think of all the enhancements code changes to the game and it is still functional.
Welcome to Lord Yuan Shu Walkthrough Guides ·
Huo Hu's Adventure started Destiny of an Emperor hackingQuote:Haha. It's pretty crazy to think of all the enhancements code changes to the game and it is still functional.Trust me, in a lot of my test versions it wasn't functional. That's the most time consuming part is fixing it when it breaks :blackeye:
Profiles are ready. And I fixed your ROM and sent it with the new code Sonic.
Features:
– Water tactic restriction is removed, you and the enemy can and will use water tactics anywhere.
– Choice between attack vs tactics is the same as before but once we decide to use a tactic we randomly pick between the 8 slots then the A.I. is applied. That is…unless an officer has a "profile".
– You can assign "profiles" to different officers. There are up to 29 profiles available. To assign a profile:
0x7A400-0x7A4FF is where you assign a profile to an officer. If Guan Yu's general ID is A9 you would assign his profile at 0x7A4A9 (last 2 numbers = general ID). If Lu Bu's general ID is C0 you would assign his profile at 0x7A4C0 (last 2 numbers = general ID). The profiles are:
00 = default (normal/random DOAE behavior)
01-1D = Custom profile
You set the attack/tactics for each profile at:
Profile Number – Location
01 – 0x7A510-0x7A51F
02 – 0x7A520-0x7A52F
03 – 0x7A530-0x7A53F
04 – 0x7A540-0x7A54F
05 – 0x7A550-0x7A55F
06 – 0x7A560-0x7A56F
07 – 0x7A570-0x7A57F
etc…
A profile would look like this:
FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 01 01 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
FF = attack and all the other numbers = tactic slot number.
With a profile like this, this officer will attack 1/4th of the time (4/16), he will use the tactic in slot 00 or 01 18.5% of the time (3/16) or will use a tactic in slot 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, or 07 6% of the time each (1/16).
As you can see with this system different officers can have unique personalities. You might have an officer that favors duel, favors attack, favors attack tactics, favors healing, etc… There are tons of possibilities for different personality types.

Profiles aren't working as advertised just yet… Will finish it up tomorrow.
Still need to tweek the profile code just a bit. Should be done tomorrow.
You sure you sent it? Don't see anything in the ol' email… Anyways, are the addresses @ 4020 and 40DE a restrictor on intelligence to have a profile? Just wondering. Also, you said that the profiles are @ 0x7A400-0x7A4FF but you listed it as 01 – 0x7A510-0x7A51F
02 – 0x7A520-0x7A52F
03 – 0x7A530-0x7A53F
04 – 0x7A540-0x7A54F
05 – 0x7A550-0x7A55F
06 – 0x7A560-0x7A56F
07 – 0x7A570-0x7A57F
etc…

Hi Sonic, ya the e-mail didn't send for some reason. I'll re-send although I think you already added the changes.
Quote:Anyways, are the addresses @ 4020 and 40DE a restrictor on intelligence to have a profile?Those are for A.I.
Quote:Also, you said that the profiles are @ 0x7A400-0x7A4FF but you listed it as 01 – 0x7A510-0x7A51F
You say which officer uses which profile in 0x7A400-0x7A4FF then you define the profile itself in 0x7A5..
So for example. Let's say I want Guan Yu (ID: A9) to attack half the time and duel half the time (slot 03) and he's using profile 01. Here's the changes I would make:
0x7A4A9: 01
0x7A510-0x7A51F: FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 03 03 03 03 03 03 03 03
There's still an issue with the profiles where with dumb guys, it's taking the profile value but still switching back to an attack. I'm going to trace that today.

I also forgot to mention that you should always have at least one attack and one tactic in your profiles. The game might break if you don't :o For example, if Ce Mian is on the A.I. might want that general to attack. If he has no attack in his profile you might get stuck in an endless loop.

okay, got it
I think the profiles are working fine now.
New IPS patch uploaded: https://www.box.com/s/30630bb391eb7ebcccf0
Only do patch 2 if you've done patch 1 before :P
Not to toot my own horn to much but THIS ENHANCEMENT IS GREAT. Was that humble enough? Now guys like Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Zhang Fei, etc… are challenging duels a lot so finally getting to see "Duel" in action a lot more. I've created 6 profiles so far:
01 = Heavy battle/duel/charge guys (Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, etc…)
02 = Flamethrowers – guys that use slot 00 a lot.
03 = Uber healers/defensive guys
04 = Aqua Man – guys that use slot 01 a lot.
05 = Smart warrior lots of duel but also other tactics + attack
06 = Tactician – rarely attacks
