ROM Hack [Release] MH Talisman Editor for MHXX MHX/MHGen MH4G/MH4U

[v18281]

No, I was just asking because I was unsure about the charm I made, but I did try to stay in the legit values and apparently it turned out to be after all.

I tried Hearing +7 as the second skill and like you it gave me a blank charm (no skills displayed whatsoever), however I did manage to make a Spirit+5 - Critical Up+5 which I'm pretty sure didn't exist in X/Gen.

Interesting. I can't get spirit+5 or critical up+5 to work, either. I guess my RAM editting code is wrong.
edit: I solved it now. I got hearing+7 working on the first skill, and those you mentioned. For those interested, the RAM values for the first slot in the equipment box are like this:
At address 0x83131b4:
8c b5 d0 00: same values every slot
06 00 0a 00: 06 is equipment type, 0a is rarity
8 bytes of zeros
4f 4d 04 02: skill1 id, skill 2 id, skill 1 amount, skill 2 amount
03 00 64 01: 03 is number of slots, 64 is for rarity 8-a while 63 is for lower rarity
20 bytes of zeros

can anyone get "hearing," for example, to 7 as shown in the kiranico website? i cant.

Keep in mind that lower grade talismans can have a higher limit for certain skills. It's not common and typically isn't on the 'better' skills, though.

yeah you are right. I got a value wrong previously so it didn't work.
Also kiranico got 7,5 inverted for "hearing"

I am glad that we came to the same conclusions. I just need a table of values for the skills and hex IDs and I am golden.

the skill table from https://mhxx.kiranico.com/amulet seems to be in the order of the skill ids

Muck in the butt and call me Sally. I didn't even notice that.

Is this work well with mhxx now?

not perfectly, no, but basic format, yes.

Tried it for MHXX. The edited talismans doesn't seem to save for now.

Hmm...I just tested the BETA version I just uploaded and did not encounter this error.
The code that writes the talismans wasn't changed in this version so I'm not sure where this could have gone wrong.
Let me know if you still encounter this problem and we can debug from there.

Any chance you can tell me the save structure and location for charms in MhXX?

Thanks.

Sure thing!
The basic structure hasn't changed, nor has the save file format.
The character offsets are still located in the same location as MHX, but the equipment box offset and total size has changed.
The new offset is 0x62ee (from 1st byte of character profile), and the total size is 2000 item slots, each slot being 36 bytes.
The talismans are saved in the following structure: (byte offsets start at 0)
0x0: fixed value of 0x6
0x2: talisman grade (starting from 0)
0x6~0xB: decorations
0xC: skill1 hex identifier
0xD: skill2 hex identifier
0xE: skill1 skill level
0xF: skill2 skill level
0x10: slot number
0x12: alchemy grade (groups the talismans by rarity)
0x13: fixed value of 0x1

how can i backup my mhxx save?

What do you mean?
If you mean you want to extract it from your 3DS and save it somewhere just use any tool that can extract extra data, like extdata_tool or JKSM.
You'll get two files: system and system_backup

 

[Suiseiseki]

Trying it again.

I latest thing I noticed that talismans higher than Dragon do not display correctly on the menu (Creator Talismans I got on normal gameplay appear as Dragon Talismans on the editor).

Also quick question, do I have to edit the backup file as well?

Nope.

I haven't seen this in testing.
Could you try the latest version (v0.5.1) and see if the same thing happens?
If so, would you mind sending me your save for me to take a look?

If you don't modify those talisman and leave them alone, then the editor won't overwrite them and there shouldn't be any issue.

I want to use it on MHXX but how do I load my save ? In the save folder of MHXX there is four file and for all it says it's corrupted

You need to use a save manager like JKSM or extdata_tool to extract the extra data into two files: system and system_backup
Then, you load the system file into the editor.

If you could tell me the game and the details of the charm I would be very grateful.

 

[CenTrrikK]

I get crashes while scrolling through my equipment box with a perfectly legal Charm in MHXX.
Would you like me to send to the specifics?

BTW: I'm running your CharmEditor over Wine in Linux, is there any chance of a open source project or a linux variation?
