One more question: does anyone know how to change a villager's birthday, or at the very least, the birthday that is written on the back of a villager pic?

Does anyone know where the various player eye and hair colors are stored? I was poking around in the 'Player' folder but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

This thread is sort of dead but it's worth posting I guess

Has anybody found KK slider audios in the romfs?
I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say they are located in the GardenSound.bcsar, but can anybody confirm this?

I checked the contents of the bcsar file and every other sound is located inside of it.
No idea how to unpack and repack it though

Hey, yesterday I finally managed to hack my EU version of New Leaf.!

Yeah, now I have a question. How can you change villagers names without messing everything up? I opened the name file with a HEX editor and changed everything I want. The problem is that when I'm ingame, there are just these questionmark symbols. Is there something I have to mind when I change the names in the script file? Thanks for your reply, Cheers!

Did you skip the dots while you were editing the npc name file? They aren't periods, they're special characters that separate individual letters. So for instance, putting "Isabelle" wouldn't work, it'd have to be "I.s.a.b.e.l.l.e." if that makes sense.

Yes, that's exactly what I did... But I guess I have to look if the name is as long as I.s.a.b.e.l.l.e and then I can change it. There have to be three dots space between the names I guess.

But anyways... I have a second question. Do you know how to change the name of fish for example? Because I want to change the name from sea bass to golden bass. Any ideas?

well it would be nice to just have the keyboard only
I searched for the keyboard in any file, but I only found pieces of textures, not a single clue of a keyboard... Sorry. Oh, but I found all the other stuff such like the item icons and the emotion icons :)

keyboard location:
RomFS\Layout\Swkbd\message

Now he have a tool who can edit msbt so it's more easy.
That's actually pretty cool. Hey, Mega-Mew... Do you have an idea how to edit the game's code, so I can edit the players speed for example? I have a file called exefs.bin, but I don't know how I can extract code.bin out of it. I guess I have to edit code.bin to change the players speed, right? Cheers!

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
