ROM Hack Discussion Animal Crossing: New Horizons -- Reverse Engineering, Glitches, Bugs, etc. thread!

[TidusWulf]

anybody find code info on what fish/bugs spawn when? id love to try and dig in and make a chart of everything

I have a chart. Feel free to use/share.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-Ldr5PD0qwcOjBjtnfRE0spGgpIWh6Tr-lToXDLJULw/edit?usp=sharing

There's an example sheet in there if you filter March by YES and April by NO, you'll see what fish you need to catch before they're gone. If you save the sheet to your own google account, you can use the filters on the bugs and fish charts yourself.

You can filter pretty much every category.

I'm in the same boat. Placed a bridge and it is asking for 0 bells. I cannot contribute. Also, when i talk to the Npc > infrastructure, the option remove the bridge is blank. can't get rid of it nor complete it...

Anyone know of a way to recover from this? if you place a bridge using cheats, it says that 0 bells are required and you cannot complete the bridge nor build new. When going to the NPC for infrastructure changes (bridges and inclines) the dialog is empty and you cannot remove/cancel the bridge.

Would prefer not having to restart the whole game.

Restore your save file backup you made before using the cheat.

I could if i wasn't using SXOS! I'm using Checkpoint, which doesn't support device saves yet.

Maybe someone knows how to change the required bells? Save editor is not yet released...

 

[hassan ali]

Is it possible to change your island represenitive with a code?

Use JKSV to backup your Animal Crossing saves for the time being.

Current save editor officially allows for Villager edits, Was able to change every villager into whom I wanted. The only problem is that there houses are still in the style of the original animal's house. An official step up. Still need a way to force remove one of my inclines though, I am still kinda locked into place with one bridge that simply wont go away no matter what I do. I am unsure if villager house relocation would "reset" the houses.

Keep in mind the save editor is not released yet and I am merely compiling what exists on my own and risking a backup save to test. Who knows what else could get added in the near future.

Current save editor? Do you have a link to the download page?

There are no releases yet. The author said he might have it next week.

Sory, ill admid excitement got the better of me and jumped the gun :'(

Thanx so much even if it's not released yet. Having a link to the download location will be extremely usefull when it releases. Let all wish the author the best of luck building the tool without any major issues

 

[megodinero]

Don't worry, I'm sure it will be posted here within minutes of release. And meanwhile the developer can code in relative peace...

If cloning and compiling early code from a Github repository sounds like gibberish to you, that's ok, Just sit back and wait for the official release in a few days, because this is not a software development forum and there is no point in asking for an easy "walkthrough" for blind compliation of third-party .NET apps lol cause it ain't happening...

And if you do manage to compile it, please do so on your own and do not distribute someone else's unfinished personal project.
Not only would releasing it be a total jerk move on your part, but all you would accomplish is setting an angry hoard of end-users upon the poor developer for numerous complaints and pleas of help when it doesn't work right, messes up their town/save, has unfinished bugs, etc... and worst case, you could frustrate the dev into never finishing it...

Does the save editor support changing the town rep as of yet, I took a look around my save myself but between my inexperience with hex editing and some issues with HorizonCrypt I wasn't able to get much, if the save editor currently supports it then I might have to take a look at compiling it myself.

I hope so personally but I don't mind waiting

 

[wrlfkr]

It's probably because you tried editing a villager that isn't loaded into the 'moving in' slot. Cubs work fine (I changed one of mine into Maple).

Sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly does this mean? I went on my island to check and a plot was already noted as reserved by the villager I'm trying to change. By "Moving In" slot, do you mean specifically "arriving tomorrow"?

Sorry for my confusion.

Waiting for the same.

You could try to empty the villager/house slot in hex editing and then use your compiled save (or hex) editor to possibly add in a villager into that empty slot to have the right animal house?

Would anyone know the hex save edit offsets for the inventory in AC?

 

[Weebalicious]

I hope i wasn't being too disrespectful by making comments on the current progress of the save editor. Im not exactly on top of it, as I cloned an outdated version and fixe da problem that was already fixed Villagers where not actually being added to the names associated, so when I put in Judy I got Benjamin as well as fixing a crash that happened, but yeah.

I am just tryina learn a little bit myself so I could essentially recover my save file. Speaking of which is the town map offset known at all? I really just want to wipe all the bridges and inclines off my map and start again. If I gotta go into my save manually I can.

 

[AKA-Link77]

Is there a way to put the ATM (Nook Stop) machine in your pockets as an item???

Edit: Since my question wont be answered. I will take this time to celebrate my post being the 1000th comment!
