ROM Hack Dragon Quest IX - Save Editor

[FencingFoxFTW]

thanks for the translation

 

[Yumil]

Newest version here DQCheat.Patched.0.5

Ok guys, I finally finished all the item names. I also took the time to clean up the party tab and do some quick translations of the rest of the tabs. Most of the controls are translated, quite a few of the data lists are not(treasure map, accolades, monster names, skills, etc), so I still have a ways to go.

However, I'm sure that most of you will be able to do what you need to do now with it, so I'm going to take a break for a few days so I don't get totally burnt out on this project. I probably wouldn't expect an update till at least next weekend. I will try to fix the string problem though for the next update.

Again, if anyone notices anything blatantly wrong, please tell me so I can fix it. I'm not perfect

Thanks Yumil. You truly came along and saved the day.

Yumil, you make me feel funny in my special place. *bows*

For the character customization:
Faces:
70 - Aquila
71 - seems similar to the default girl #1 face
72 - Stella
73 - Same as 71
74 and above - blank space where face is supposed to be

Btw, anyone find the value for Stella's hair yet?

 

[AznBoy222]

if anyone has spare time, could they post the values for the different hair styles

 

[popochan]

I try to test the character looking. But since I use cyclods and it's not great to open-close several times to test the stuff. I try converting the sav to no$gba sav but it kinda fail getting the quick sav log error when I load it.

Can anyone please lend me the no$gba sav? With that, I'll try my best to post the screen shot of style I try as well.

Wrong DQ game lol.
Just ignore this.

What do you guys think of this? I could do a female version if you like this one.

EDIT: Correct me if I am wrong about everything after 73 being blank. I went through 0-59 though. Every one of those is a blank face.

EDIT2: Fixed some typos on the picture. New picture is now in this post.

 

[AznBoy222]

Thanks Exaltys, that picture looks good. I was wondering if you or someone else could make one for the hairstyles.

BTW, so when you use these faces, the character models face is always see-through?

Yeah, I'll do the female faces then get to the hairstyles.

Female face preview made:

 

[AznBoy222]

Good stuff there Exaltys, I'm just waiting for the hairstyles.

Here are the male hair styles.

As for female hair styles, I am getting to those by I figure 40-49 are the ten defaults and 50-53 as those depicted on the males.

READ THIS: I suspect this is not all of the hair styles. I tested a few above 53 and those were blank. BUT, Jack Abbot clearly has a beard and hair flowing on the back of his head. Due to this fact, I think other hair styles, and possibly more faces, exist somewhere in the numbers.

 

[Exaltys]

Female hair is done. Same "READ THIS" applies of course.

There are more hair styles, but they appear as head items. Quite a few of the cosplay armor sets have a head that is the hair of that character(I think one is a mullet).

I know I said I wasn't going to update again for a bit, but I had a bit of an epiphany and partially fixed the string problem.

Version 0.6 is here

The main reason I hadn't fixed the string issue yet is that I was having problems with the tool I was using and editing the IL to that extent. The function I wanted to do was too complex for the tool, so I was at a loss for then. Anywho, I had a bit of a realization that an external binary would be much easier to do as I could just have the dqcheat program reference and call my functions with it and I wouldnt have to make it with the tool. So, that's what I did.

When I say it's partially fixed is that I only inputted the numbers for A-Z and a-z, so no spaces or other characters other than letters for now. If you use or have a character other than the letters, it'll appear as a '?' in the editor and be some random character in the game(I chose the 1st character so I hope it's a space, but I haven't double checked it). This way you'll at least be able to change names.

The only things that have changed is the string bug and I added that dll. I'm going to restart my break now, you guys know what happens when you have a moment of clarity, right?

Thanks for updating it Yumil, but for some reason i can't get your 0.6 version to work. The past versions (0.5) work fine for me. Whenever i press open, and then pick my save, it freezes and says the program is not responding. I ran the program as an admin and it didn't work either.

Can you send me the save?

EDIT: Nevermind tried it on my laptop really quick and got the same symptoms... gotta figure out what's causing it really quick

 

[Exaltys]

The same problem happens to me in 0.6 also.
