Sorry I got distracted but it was worth it, as can be seen in my latest video on YouTube (yoshielectron as I'm known there) I've found the variable that globally sets how many yellow coins a Goomba gives out after it's defeated. I found that thanks to my RAM hacking and converted it to a code and patched the NTSC expanded ROM also.

I was looking at the Goomba behaviour script to see if there was an instruction that wrote to variable offset 0x198 in a Goomba's object structure which determines the pay out. Nothing so I then had a loot at the 0x0C call from the behaviour script to the initialization ASM and found the instruction that loads the value from the RAM.

If you want to patch the ROM so that all Goombas pay out jackpots then go to address 0xED8C7 in your hex editor and alter the 0x01 to how many coins you want the Goombas to give. However, I had to use a program to fix the checksum since Project64 got stuck in a loop after changing the value.

Be warned, too high values will crash the game and be sure to collect all the coins or most of them before defeating the next Goomba.

I tried the code on Project64 and found nothing strange about the colours so could it have been his monitor/TV? Colour codes DO work on the N64 like my Yellow Yoshi code, the problem is adding the many codes to an N64 cheat device like the Equalizer I used.

I'll put in more detail when I can but to make clear, in the Goomba's behaviour script their is a 0x0c call to ASM used for initialization. It is that coding that loads a value from the RAM and copies it to offset 0x198 the number of coins a Goomba gives out.

I will do an ASM thread but it's annoying because of the differences between PAL and NTSC. However, it would probably be best to gives NTSC examples especially as it's the NTSC expanded ROM that we use.

Thanks to me looking at the coding to do the size mod hacks like Luigi size Mario; surely an ASM thread would be a good idea?

Not only are the addresses different but the coding is also as there were likely bug fixes in the PAL version. What does stay the same is when segment/offset method is used since those values are used to calculate an actual address.

The part of the behaviour script used for init. the object is the start of the behaviour script. VL-TONE said that the behaviour script starts with zero but accrding to the pointers used by the RAM objects it's the next instruction. Then somewhere within the behaviour script is constantly called by the object while playing to update the object.

I had to change the coding to alter how many coins a Goomba gives out, there wasn't an instruction in the behaviour script at least not for Goombas. And in my latest videos I've modified the coding even more so that a Bob-omb comes out of a Goomba instead of a coin.

There are two main values used to spawn the coin:

0x0074 is the graphic ID for a yellow coin (with a shadow)
0x09A4 is the offset to the start of the behaviour script to create the coin

Change these values in the coding and you get a totaly different object from the Goombas. Perhas I could explain more about the coding in an ASM thread?

Yes, thank you is just people might get confused as my username's different on this forum to YouTube. If I start an ASM thread then I can help people even if they're new to MIPS programming.

I first noticed the graphic ID or model ID when I found the item box item table which lists what each item looks like and how it behaves that you can get from an item box. The table could be expanded whith the necessary changes to the coding to add new items or change the existing ones.

I'll do the ASM thread-please don't delete it!

Don't worry if you know nothing about the N64's ASM as I'm here to help and I'll start off simple and then use examples to show you how the game works and how it can be altered to go beyond simple level editing.

The N64's processor is a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) so its instructions are quite simple and are designed logically with each instruction using 4 bytes (32-bits). Remember that Nintendo most likely used C or C++ to program SM64 so we will be actually looking at the result when converted to ASM. This means you may see coding that looks a little strange but is actually very logical.

Some important registers that are used for temporary storage:

r0 is register zero which always contains the value zero so it can be used as a constant and also for arithmetic operations.

sp is the stack pointer which you can ignore as long as you don't change it

Then there are various others such as at, a3, vo, etc.

The N64's processor features offset calculations which is ideal when it comes to reading or writing to a certain variable in an object structure. You'll often see in the behaviour coding that a register will be loaded with a pointer-to-object value and then an offset will be added to get at the variable.

Being 64-bit you need to know:

double word=64-bit
word=32-bit
half world=16-bit
byte=8-bit

Although the processor's instructions can read or write up to 64-bits from memory, immediate data (i.e. values that are part of the instruction) can only be up to 16-bit. This is the reason that Gameshark codes on a real N64 cheat device only allow up to 16-bits for the code.

That's you starter.

Yes, at the start of a function and at the end the register sp (stack pointer) will be modified. However, make sure you follow the jumps and brances carefully and there will be a lot of them for most objects. Remember, jumps and branches use the delay slot so the next instruction will be executed before the jump/branch but Nemu will tell you.

Today I went one better and changed the coding so that exploded Bob-ombs are replaced with King Bob-omb! It's amazing, you can fight loads of them (as can be seen in my YouTube video (yoshielectron) and get a star from each of them. Also, take note of what happens to the music which I was unable to show in the video due to the short length.

I tried the debug Project64 and although it's a great help it's a bit lacking for my needs. For example, you can only set a breakpoint when the pc is at a certain address; Nemu allows you to halt the game when the CPU reads or writes to a specific address.

I'll add some examples later but first about Nemu and seting breakpoints. Most likely you will want to set up a breakpoint when the game reads and/or writes to a specific vaiable belonging to an object. Someone requested I do a hack so that the Bob-ombs do not react at all to Mario so I used Nemu.

First of all I found a Bob-omb in memory using Nemu's memory viewer and then went to offset 0xF8. I knew that when that variable has the value 0x01 the Bob-omb ignites so I had the write option only checked and then right-clicked on the memory location.

The game will continue playing but as soon as the Bob-omb tries to ignite itself Nemu paused the game allowing me to check out the coding. For other objects there maybe many times that a certain variable is read or written to so you may have to click 'Go' to jump to the next read/write of that variable.

Remember, emulators are a pain if you want to change coding, I've found that you have to edit the RAM or activate the code(s) before the title screen.

I'll upload here (Editing the RAM objects) and to my site an updated list of the uses of the object variables. Looking at the ASM you can confirm the size of various variables which really helps with listing what each variable does. For example, if you see something like:

lh t6, 0x0014(v0)

Then you know that the variable at offset 0x0014 is 16-bit, though that's a general rule and may not always apply.

In one of my recent videos the code caused Bob-ombs to be spawned from trees instead of leaves. Here is the coding that spawns the leaves:

802B0AB4 lui a2, 0x1300
802B0AB8 addiu a2, a2, 0x13C4
802B0ABC lw a0, 0x1160(a0)
802B0AC0 jal 0x8029EDCC
802B0AC4 addiu a1, r0, 0x00a2

0xa2 is the gfx ID for a leaf and 0x1313C4 is the segment/offset pointer to the leaf's behaviour.

Here is an updated list of the variables used by each object; looking at the ASM has really helped with this:

(f/p) is a floating-point value.
0x?? or 0x???? are hexadecimal values.

[0x00] 0x001800 Always that value, should not be changed as it marks the start of an object structure.
[0x02] 0x0025 Collection of bits that alters how the object behaves in relation to the camera. 0x25 causes the object to always face the camera as is the case of the 2D objects like trees and other objects so that it appears 3D (billboarding), however it can be used with 3D objects. 0x21 is used for true 3D objects so the object isn't forced to always face the camera since rotating the camera will show other parts of the object.
[0x04] 0x8030B0B8 Usually pointer to the previous object. If this is the first object, it will point to the last object.
[0x08] 0x8030B578 Usually pointer to the next object. If this is the last object, it will point to the first object.
[0x0C] 0x80386A20 Always equals this value, points to a structure that contains variables which affect all the objects.
[0x10] 0x00000000 ?
[0x14] 0x80195084 Pointer to the object's graphics structure.
[0x18] 0x01 Use graphics flag: =0x00 don't display object's graphics, =0x01 do display object's graphics.
[0x19] 0x01 Appears to have no effect on the object; usually equals 0x01 if [0x18]=0x01, sometimes is 0xFF.
[0x1A] 0x0000 ?
[0x1C] 0x00000000 ?
[0x20] 0xC4A6A000 (f/p) Some form of coordinate?
[0x24] 0x4431C000 (f/p) Some form of coordinate?
[0x28] 0x44EB2000 (f/p) Some form of coordinate?
[0x2C] 0x3F800000 (f/p) X size modifier (scaling value).
[0x30] 0x3F800000 (f/p) Y size modifier (scaling value).
[0x34] 0x3F800000 (f/p) Z size modifier (scaling value).
[0x38] 0x00000000 ?
[0x3C] 0x80060030 Pointer to the object's animation structure; if zero, object is not animated.
[0x40] 0x00000000 ?
[0x44] 0x00000000 ?

[0x58] 0xC2D2C670 (f/p) Some form of coordinate?
[0x5C] 0xC444B1C0 (f/p) Some form of coordinate?
[0x60] 0x8030FA58 Pointer to object ?
[0x64] 0x8030F598 Pointer to object ?
[0x68] 0x8030F7F8 For objects that follow another (e.g., coin in a Boo) this is a pointer to the object to follow.
[0x6C] 0x00000000 ?
[0x70] 0x00000000 ?
[0x74] 0x01 ?
[0x75] 0x01 Determines if the object is active: 0x00=remove the object (the structure remains), 0x01=continue using this object.
[0x76] 0x0001 ?
[0x78] 0x803194B8 Pointer to object collided with (usually pointer to Mario's object structure even before collision has occurred)?
[0x7C] 0x00000000 ?
[0x80] 0x00000000 ?
[0x84] 0x00000000 ?
[0x88] 0x00000000 ?

[0x1B3] 0x01 For Tox box, index into path data pointed to by [0x1AC], increases by 1 each time.
[0x1B8] 0x0029 For Koopa the Quick, this is the value copied from the RAM pointed to by [0x1C0].
[0x1C0] 0x801A8280 Pointer. For Koopa the Quick points to data in the RAM it uses.

While working on another hack I discovered exactly how Bullet Bill works. It is NOT spawned from the blaster but instead already exists and after it is 'destroyed' it resets its position, hidden by the blaster until it fires itself. As was suggested, the blaster behaviour just sets up its own collision or something like that.

What's strange is that the Bullet Bill behaviour-without even a graphic change-when used outside the castle crashed the game.

The code changes value in Mario's polygon data, near what appear to be RGB lighting of some sort. Since the pictures you provided were taken with a camera it's hard to compare.

I'm having trouble finishing the Peach hack so for now I'll show you what I've done so far which I call version 1.5. Basically I've used the Mario model since it's designed for Mario's animation and swapped body parts over as well as some other changes.

Could someone please tell me why there isn't a rotation geometry layout command as that would really help or can that only be done with the other commands that point to ASM?

The screen caps are on my site:

I've got a capture device, that's how I record my videos from my N64. I've converted the code from NTSC to PAL and here are the screen captures:

Looking at the memory the code alters, it's not what I first assumed it to be.

How did you get Peach and Yoshi's graphics in Bob-omb Battlefield, did you replace them with other graphics? The only way I thought you could do it was to change the level commands that load the graphics.

Yes, only Project64 seems to like the extended ROM so I use the normal ROM with Nemu for RAM viewing. As for ROM editing the expanded ROM I use a hex editor and after making changes load it into Project64.

That's very helpful as for my Peach hack we'll need her graphics in all levels and VL-TONE's doc seems outdated. Can you please confirm that you swapped someone's graphics/layout with Peach's rather than adding.

I am not sure exactly what the code alters in the RAM, could it be the actual colour data?
