Title: Secret Units Problem
Post by: leonharu on May 17, 2013, 04:30:05 pm
I wanna make secret units available from the beginning of the game (after snow fight and lizzard incident) using gameshark but sadly Cid, Ezel, and Babus can't gain exp like any other character in the battle. Ritz and Shara can still gain exp. Is there a way to fix this?
Sorry for my English
Thanks.

What gameshark codes are you using? I can't help you if I don't know why it's happening.

Actually I use ARv3 code to add new character in the blank slot like this one:
Slide for Abilities in Slot 7 (Mastered 5 Advanced Laws abilites) 00000000 802006F1 000000e4 00050001
I test it in Herb Picking Mission and after Cid attack or use an abilites, it just skip the exp-gain step. Is there something that I miss? or there is another code that trigger secret units to do this? I think that way because we can only use secret units just after we complete all 300 missions (I never complete the game before though).
Once again, sorry for my english. Correct me if I am wrong.

Cid in Slot 7 042006B0 085512BB ----> Name Pointer 042006B4 0117735E ----> Job/Race/Sprite (Changed the first 73 to a 01) 042006B8 00000100 ----> Exp/Level 042006BC 01010101 042006C0 01010101 042006C4 00000001 042006C8 00480048 042006CC 00120012 042006D0 005C0052 042006D4 00540044 042006E4 00004709 04200780 005F0000 042007B4 000100FF
It's a quick fix that doesn't appear to have any bugs.
However, there is an actual check in the game to not give EXP to any character that wasn't given at the correct time. It checks for Ezel, Babus, Ritz, Shara and Cid and won't give any experience if the correct flag isn't set.
To remove this in the actual ROM, you can change the byte at 0812E5C3 in a hex editor from D9 to E0. I hope this helped.
Your English is very good. :)

Wow that's a simple ram editing trick! I never thought that way before. I know how to hex-editing but I don't have any experience to do ASM-hacking because It's too tiring for me and my brain :D . Really big thanks Darth, oh yeah I want to ask you one question again if you dont mind, do you know how to hack experience routines so we can gain less or greater amount of exp?
once again, thanks for your help.
yeah thanks for your compliment, tell me if you dont understand about my post. :D

Some codes for vba or gba i found in gamefaqs, hence you won't need to patch the ROM for this task:
QuoteBasically, these codes just set your EXP points to 99. You will need to do combat damage to level up the character. Once again, I've provided a Level Up all character code for CBA.
