Hacking XCXGecko: Xenoblade Chronicles X trainer GUI using pyGecko

[makke007]

I apologize. That was it, it works now. You can't just start gecko via the homebrew channel, it has to be via the webpage. Thanks for your help!

Glad you got it working Enjoy

Hey-o! I'm trying to use this trainer, but with limited success.

Using "TCPGecko + Kernel" at loadiine.ovh and then loading up my EN disc copy of XCX, I managed to successfully connect XCXGecko to my WiiU. I'm able to fetch and poke general and character trait values, but I'm unable to modify any data that requires me to cache slots, since any attempt to do so gets me a "read block failed" error:

cache isnt all that important
poking keeps it on even if you quit the game (only if you've saved)
but i ould be wrong

It's safe to swap music which is what I enjoy doing =D

Another thing is that you can manipulate the save file to get easy medals. The RP running group actually does this (yet they shun people hacking possible gear... lol hypocrites). You can scout 3 people, get them to max level (so releasing will give you 1 blade medals each, making 3 for all scouts). After they are fully leveled, save your game. Then, release them to get 3 medals. Quit the game without saving, reload, and you'll have the scouts back. Since the medals are stored on the server, you can keep repeating the scout release to get medals much much faster. Just release, reload, release, reload, release etc.

Wait you can swap music with a code? How do you do this? I'd love to be able to override the OD music so I don't always have to hear it. Edit: Or the damn flight music!

Also I didn't know that BLADE medals were stored on their server.

So whats the easiest method with todays possibilities (haxchi/fw.img/wupserver) to use pyGecko/this trainer?

just Run Gecko+Kernel from the Loadiine Website and start the Game afterwards is the easiest way

I think there's a misunderstanding on my problem. If the trainer can't Cache Slots properly, it can't access gear mod or item locations. Which means I can't edit them. And the read block failed error is happening with only those values, since I can still edit character traits and general values.

Is there a list for all the hexcodes for hairstyles? I'd like to experiment with using hairstyles meant for different presets.

 

[calebbait]

@TGLaw I tried your guide for hex editing characters and did everything right (double checked within ascii and also compared to the bin file) and nothing changes. I'm using the US eshop version of the game.

It might be a problem with TCPGecko, go try to change the hairstyles from the RAM instead of modifying a .BIN file and uploading it. I'll also try this.

Tried that as well, still nothing. Tried other things like gender as a form of troubleshooting but that didn't do anything either.

Oh shoot. I forgot to write in the guide:

After applying changes, go to the party>active members screen, then hit "confirm" to update the changes.

lmk if it doesn't work and I'll try to see where I/you goofed up.

Kk, I'll try it when I get the chance. Thanks!

Dang. I know for 100% fact that it won't work without doing those steps afterwards. Editing the post

It worked, but sadly the spoiler hair doesn't work on my male protag
It sits like halfway through my head, I was gonna take a pic but when I opened the browser to upload to imgur it froze. Will try other female hair to make sure it's not just that style that's broken on guys.

Yeah female things on the males don't work right. Also, that's what happens with TCPGecko when you open the browser. Sucks :/ There might be a way to dump a screenshot or something but i dunno.

I'm using the NTSC-U version and the real disc, no Loadiine. Tried again what you said, still didn't work. And it did show the 4 letters of my Cross's name. I'm trying to get

Spoiler: Spoiler inside

True Form Elma's hair

on my Cross, so all you do is type 002A (the spoiler hair) in the YYYY part of the format? Like this: ZZZZ002A XXXXWWVV AABBCCCC DDDDEEEE ????FFFF GGGGHHHH UUUUTTTT SSSSRRRR QQQQ???? PPPPPPPP OOOOOOOO MMMMMMMM NNNNNNNN
Here's a screenshot of the bin in the editor, notice the 002A is the only part I edited

Sorry but any tips on this?
