Cheat Engine

So, I'm not the first one to try to work with this game and I probably won't be the last, unless I can actually make some headway. I have a pretty solid understanding of editing games and I've been cheating my way (enjoyably) through Pokemon games for a long time, since Red/Blue.

Of course, this game isn't a classical GB Pokemon game, so my understanding of how addressing works only goes so far. In fact, getting much out of it using Cheat Engine has been a real bastard.

The main thing I'm trying to modify right now is the type of Pokemon that come out in a wild battle or in a set-piece battle like walking into a creature on the map. I've started to use the second one because amazingly the addresses don't seem to change if I stay in this room and save-reload so I've been able to work with them for a longer period of time.

RPG maker uses a 2x+1 offset, I discovered thanks to people in the forum. I even found a custom search value type that lets me do the math automagically. Using that I've been able to consistently find a group of values that correspond to the pokemon's number. Of course, they apparently correspond to a lot of other things too. Many of them seem to change to random numbers if I watch CE while I walk around the room, and then only get locked into the number that corresponds to the species in question once the battle starts. But my thought is, they must be pulling those numbers from somewhere else, and maybe if I follow them all the way home I can find the actual number that needs to be changed.

Does anyone have any ideas or assistance, am I barking up the wrong tree, is making these sort of CE changes to a RPG Maker VX game a lost cause? It seems like every bit of code changes a lot of other bits as well.

Making a cheat table that keeps working after restarting the game for rpg maker games is not impossible, but probably very difficult so it hasn't been done afaik.

It doesn't mean you can't cheat, but cheat-modding those games is probably easier. See if this topic helps: http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5515558

I made an attempt to open it this way, however the decrypter creates a 1kb project file and opening it in VX or VXAce (both attempted) gives a complaint that it 'failed to load the actor data.'

If the game was made with RPG Maker XP try to edit it with the XP version.
If you look inside the game.r*proj files created by the decrypter you'll see they're just placeholders, they do not explain how to use the files so they cannot make a XP game editable in VX/VXace.

Ah... had gotten myself confused with the link to the other site. My bad. We'll see if progress can be made here.

Any progress? I've been trying to do the same thing, trying to change the exp gain but I can't seem to find it.

I think its ridiculousy hard to hack this hack since its coded really well.

You cant go into debug mode because some how it knows your hacking the game, and when making changes, and trying to start a new game, it will not work either.

I'm not an experienced coder so i'm not sure what to do but i'll try to look into it.

If you want maybe we could work together Smile

Seems like in game cash works with 2x+1, so 50$ would be 101 in value
