ROM Hack Animal Crossing: New Leaf ROM Hacking

[probablygay]

Hey, just checking in-- is there any tool capable of exporting and importing new meshes into ACNL? I really want to mod the park projects and villagers and stuff for a totally new experience.

Ohama does, IIRC. I've made a custom villager reskin at one point. Can't recall if I ever tested it in-game, but it's possible.

Dat wuff be so green. I dont think they have made the meshes stick yet. That or I know that too many per mesh makes the game tend to crash.

Friend's OC. Green's cool. Dunno, really, haven't tested extensively myself.

I know this thread is pretty dead, but I've just released a tool for customisable ACNL rom hacks. Since there's not much 'user-friendly' rom hacking stuff, I wanted to at least release something that lets people customise the game, even if it's only 'small' customisations atm.
Its mainly exefs mods, but some of it's features include:

• Shop Opening Hours Editor
• Item Price Randomiser
• Disable Region Check & Checksum Check
• Disable Resetti
• Reese/Nooklings/Leila Buy Items For Sell Price
• Shops Buy Native Fruit For Same Price As Foreign Fruit
• Force Weather

More of its features can be seen in the Readme. Anyways, hopefully it'll be of some use to somebody

just released a tool... (feature list)

These are all things you can't do with the ACNL editor currently available. Interesting.
Edit: Duh they are. This edits the ROM and not the save, and the other thing edits the save and not the ROM.

It bothers me that you swapped an "its" and an "it's" in the same sentence.

Ooh, I'd love to get cherry blossoms going.
I edited the tree textures a while back to be blossomed all year but failed to get the weather/event working.

Well yea, it makes sense you can't do them in a save editor since this edits the game's files itself, not the save lol

My app can force cherry blossoms to always be on, plus change how much spawns at once, so have fun I guess

 

[JavaScribe]

Dang it, you beat me to editing that realization in.

 

[Slattz]

Oh, and I'll probably make a Github wiki in the repo to post research, etc. Idk if anyone still cares about rom hacking ACNL though? lol

Hi everyone, i’d like to change the season parameters (for example i want snow after February 25th, with the possibility of building snowmen)
Does someone know how to do it?

I've documented how some season stuff works here actually.
You'll need to find the SeasonStartDates array inside the code.bin. I think changing this will do what you're asking.

Search 0F 01 12 02 18 02 1F 03 05 04 0A 04 0E 04 in the code.bin and you should find the array of the dates

Tank you, now I modified the exefs but I have a problem, when I upload it with Luma the game doesn’t show me the changes. In the luma folder I have titles>titlename>exefs>code. Is it the right way?

luma>titles>acnl titleid here>code.bin

 

[Vallory25]

Perfect, I tried and now it works!
I was also looking for other stuffs in code.bin, for example the dates of cherry blossom falling, the dates of special events and, I think this is more complicated, the time when the sun rises or sets. Another thing I always wanted to do is changing fish and bugs spawn dates and time. Do you know anything about these?

Hi
I'm new to hacking and my question may be too early but I do not understand this:
When I try to extract the Cia from my ACNL in the PackHack everything is created except the folders , I have already tried to pass it to Cia with other applications (thus, the first time I did it was with "Decrypt9Wip" and then with "EasyGodmode" ) but none has given me the folders when extracting it, right now I am trying with "GoodMode" to see if this time it works.

I hope someone can help me, pls.

PDT ?: Sorry if my English is not so good, actually I speak Spanish and this was translated into the google translator

I wish there was a patch that disabled bad things happening if you don't play for a while. that's my only complaint on the game ahahah I don't want my villagers leaving!

 

[Vallory25]

I’m doing some research but I didn’t find nothing. Does someone know how to change time when the sun rises and sets (change from 6 A.M. 6 P.M. to another time) and change the cherry blossoms falling days (now they’re from April 7 to 10)

So last night I wrote a program that lists the filenames of Item models and corresponds them with their item names/IDs.
This will basically make creating Item texture hacks/model swaps much easier now, as it's now easy to find out which models correspond with which items rather than having the guess through the item models.

Here's the list incase anyone is interested (Click the "Raw" button if you want an easily saveable/copyable version).

Happy Texture Modding
