Code: Select all
Hi all! Been lurking on GC-Forever for a while randomly posting here and there, just wanted to ask if anyone had any Animal Crossing hacking expertise?
I've been trying to design my own little village, which has proven to be fun so far! Basically using the giant old Animal Crossing Hacking playbook by "bowsersenemy" found here: http://www.supercheats.com/gamecube/walkthroughs/animalcrossing-walkthrough19.txt
Using this guide mixed with RAM editing in Dolphin Debug to find values and test things before making codes, I've been making pretty good progress towards my ideal town :D
I've put together my town acres and have basically been going through and curating each acre with item codes as necessary using a duplicate save file so that when I'm done, I can just load my save file with the codes turned on, save and quit, and have a hackless town from that point forward!
Here's where I'm running into trouble: When I went through building acres, some of the villagers houses are located in slightly inconvenient places. Moving signs is no problem, but when I try to move a villager's actual house, two problems happen.
First, reading the sign on their house says a glitch name instead of the villager's actual name. Second, even after you move the house, the villager still thinks they live where their old house used to be! In the map attached, in acre C5, Cookie's house is in the pond. When I move her house out of the pond, when she tries to go home, she still just tries walking towards her old house location. Entering the house when it's in its new location doesn't cause a crash, so that's good at least.
This is the code I'm using right now to move the house:
0327B8F6 00000000 - Removes the house from its old location
0327B936 000050D7 - Adds Cookie's house to the new location
0327B914 00000000 - Removes the sign board item (when you read who's house you're at) from its old location (In ram it just shows as F11F, when I tried using F11F in my code the actual item ID A012 was revealed in ram)
0327B954 0000A012 - Adds sign board item back to where it should be on the new house (Using A012 gets a glitched sign, F11F gets no sign)
Editing these changes into ram instead of using cheats produced the same results, I imagine where the game thinks the villager lives is stored elsewhere, which is why the sign is glitchy and Cookie doesn't know where she lives
I've attached the current map of my town as well as some Dolphin screenshots. Information on hacking GC Animal Crossing apart from the guide I linked seems scarce, so hopefully someone will come along with some brilliant suggestion! Thanks for reading!
