ROM Hack Animal Crossing: New Leaf Save Editor

[TidusWulf]

Any invalid items are automatically removed from the player's pockets, so seeding is impossible.

Good. I was never the subject of Seed hacking (I had an AR DUO anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered) but whenever it happened to someone else, I felt really bad for them. the worst I've ever done was bury 10 pitfalls in a friend's town behind stuff so he didn't know they were there.

Town Name

Spoiler

Town Name: 0x5C73A-0x5C748

It will be displayed on signs and the like. Works differently than the addresses for the player town names on the Town Pass Card.

I also have some address ranges that I believe may be for the non-mayor characters' island baskets. I'm unable to check ingame due to it giving a message along the lines of it being "weird that the basket is empty". I'm assuming that this is because my characters don't have island access yet, but with a little math and guesswork, I came up with these. I'd appreciate it if someone could test these out.

I'm working out the information on character customization (clothing/hair/eyes/color) next. I manged to find the value that change the eye style, which I was pretty happy about.

My pier comes out to the island.



Injecting campers wont be needed. I sent marc_max a list with all of the villager's default clothes, furnature, and english catchphrase, so when modifying villagers, they can have their defaults. (Handy for modifying more than one at once). as for island shape editing, I think it's literally 4 chunks, (2x2) so there's almost no point, as there needs to be corners on all sides

Nice stuff. Could you tell me how you changed the profile picture, please? I'm very interested in changing mine.

 

[NeoKamek]

The profile picture is a JPEG, the JPEG header is around 0x58BE for the mayor character. Presumably you can just inject your own JPEG, not sure what kind of settings you need to use when saving it, or if it will take any JPEG that meets the size requirements.

What part of the badges hex do I change?Is it before the x or after?

Great. I managed to change a villager via editing the villager's id building spot and the house's exterior changed properly, but not the interior/catchphrase/clothing, so this is a huge relief to me.

Thanks so much for all of that work, btw. I never expected it that fast.


EDIT: Managed to modify a villager's wake up time.

It's the third bit in the villager's section. Just tested this with Baabara, and she woke up at 6am, at the same time as my jocks and normals villagers. Her dialogue remains as she was a snooty villager.

Yeah, I noticed that it was in JPEG format earlier today when I went looking, but I have no clue as to what I should do with it. I tried comparing it to other 3DS JPEG files, but that didn't really help me understand much. Most of my knowledge about this stuff comes from my NES ROM-hacking days, so I'm a bit limited in the knowledge department. Haha

What part of the badges hex do I change?Is it before the x or after?

After the x. The "0x" prefix on the addresses simply means that I'm talking about a hexadecimal value instead of just a decimal one. For the start of the mayor character's badge data, go to address 56BC in a hex editor, and start changing the values from there.

Can someone please add badges to my gamesave?

 

[Totally Tim]

After giving the picture thing another shot, I figured it out. It's a lot more simple than I thought it'd be. Bad quality, but it's better than nothing.

I normally release my findings, but after thinking for a bit, I feel that releasing the method to the general public right now would be a bad move, as I have a feeling that people would put inappropriate pictures into their games and take them online for kids to see. Not really fond of ruining the experience for others, or possibly having a required update to connect to online. I enjoy handing out freebies to strangers, and don't want to have that ability taken away. I'm sure that someone will inevitably release it anyway, but please try to understand where I'm coming from.

Can someone please add badges to my gamesave?

I'll help you just this once. Look at the file that I uploaded, and see if you can figure out how I did it. It's best to try to learn how to do these things on your own.

Great news!
You'll probably lost all stored patterns/letters though, since they are located in a different address.

RAM editor was updated again!

* Acres are shown in both map and island
* Pockets, dressers and badges are editable for all players now
* Villager editor now shows names
* Some unused items were readded to the list (please check that they don't freeze the game)
Thanks to everyone who contributed!

As always, remember to refresh the site.

One more thing, don't expect any new updates since I'm going to stop working on the editor. I'll just update the item list if needed (we are still missing: players 2-4 patterns and growing trees states amongst other things) or fix any silly bug that could appear.

Sourcecode is open so you can take it and add any new features :-)

YAY THANKS!

BUTT IT DOESN'T WORK OR DO ANYTHING....? IS IT A BUG?

 

[marc_max]

Do villagers get their default data now when changing them?

No :-( But all data you gathered is in the XML file, ready to be used.

 

[Binebina87]

Its so awesome (but I cant use it because of Emunand - Still no support intended?)
But is it possible to move my savegame from emunand (cia-game) to sysnand and inject it the the cia Version of ACNL which is installable to Sysnand?

 

[froggestspirit]

Why do some of the users need emunand?
marc_max I might have forgot to mention that the default data in the XML gets injected at 0x2A0DE for the first villager, and each villager after that, is 0x24F8 bytes after another. The catchphrase is immediately after the 88 bytes of injected data, catch phrases are 24 bytes long, and every other byte is 00 (the letter "a" would be 61 00). the remaining bytes are just 00 if the catchphrase isnt 24 bytes (12 characters long).
I know you said you were done with the editor, but if you could put this last thing in, i'd be very grateful, (moreso than I am now lol). Anyways, amazing work, you've given me a reason to play through ACNL again.
