Does anyone know how to turn off the gemsword recruitment event? I expected to see an event in the text, but I haven't located any yet. Is there some way, using the text editor, that I can get rid of that event? I've altered some of the text, but am hoping to remove some of the event completely. Any suggestions?
Also, simply removing the event at Yuan Shu's defeat seems to corrupt the file. Didn't lose hardly any info from a prior successful save, so no harm done. Am I correct in this analysis?
Hmmmm, maybe not. Perhaps it was the voiding of characters on the subsequent lines that the event likely pertains to. I was doing that to free up character space. Hmmm, i'll keep learning by trial and error here until someone can help me. The gemsword thing I would like to clear up.
One idea re: the gemsword is to swap the treasure box that contains the gold key for something else. No gold key = no gemsword. You'll also have to change all the game text that refers to the gemsword, key, etc…
Definitely have to be careful with the 'events' in the Text Editor. All kinds of things can happen. Just experiment by switching various events around based on what you're trying to do.
Welcome to Lord Yuan Shu Walkthrough Guides ·
Huo Hu's Adventure started Destiny of an Emperor hackingSo far I am down through the editor to the group of text starting with the Luo castle battle text. I do not have a corrupted file thus far, but am not doing any testing as I go through to see if it crashes or anything. Not sure if that type of error seems to happen. I am so far just trying to avoid having a corrupted file. So far so good in that regard.
I know I said I would send it in tonight, and perhaps I still will, but am enjoying making progress on the text so much that I feel like I can get it done very soon. Then I could send it in.
Midknight, after I get that done, if you wanted to do some portrait editing for me, that'd be great, or I could try and work through your explanation. I'm a fast learner, so maybe I could manage.
Ya I know it can be done…would just take me a bit to figure it out.
OK I found it. To change the gold key treasure chest to something else. Open the rom in a hex editor. At line 0x30930 change "23" to another number (another item). Possible items are:
01 ~96 coins
02 ~237 coins
03 ~592 coins
04 ~1013 coins
05 ~1533 coins
06 ~4028 coins
07 ~29 food
08 ~125 food
09 ~821 food
0A ~2011 food
0B ~5902 food
0C ~10151 food
0D ~2098390 food
0E ~2148799 food

So if you wanted to trade the gold key for 96 coins you would change the "23" to "01".
I haven't tested it but it should work.
You're gonna need one if you're gonna change the battle lineups and other stuff. There are plenty out there. I'm using "Hexecute" but there are probably better ones out there.
I've already got all the battles changed successfully and providing great challenge and stories well within the restraints of the DoaEd. More updates coming to it very soon. I have a bunch of testing to do, but also hoping for another round of others looking for things to.
Oh…I guess you can change it up by changing the generals? But you won't be able to add or subtract generals from battles that way…
Well, going back to the original question. I don't know of any way to change the gemsword event without editing the hex.
