ULTROS: "D'haaaaa! Why not take a shot at it yourself first, this would be a GREAT way for ya to learn how to go about changing things like this, AND get ya more comfortable with editing in hex. I'll be here to answer any questions, but this is pretty simple stuff, g'fa, ha, ha!" Tongue

CELES: "That's mighty generous of you, squidball. But you forgot to say that he'll need to get a hold of the all-mighty event dump, and then open it up and search for what he wants to change." Wink

SABIN: "Locating the correct address you need to go to is NOTHING to be afraid of, bro!" 8]

EDWARD: "OUCH! You see... the reason the music changes back, even though you have changed it in the level editor, is because there is a piece of code somewhere, or rather an "event" that tells it to do otherwise." CoverHit TELLAH: "YOU SPOONY EVENT!"

RELM: "For instance, Gi Nattak recently changed the Jidoor WoB music to the WoR one instead, but upon going into a shop it would switch back! Surprised So after he said some VERY bad words Grandpa would NEVER let me say, he went into the event dump and located the exact code:

CB/441D: C0 If ($1E80($0A4) [$1E94, bit 4] is set), branch to $CB4426
CB/4423: F0 Play song 42 (Kids Run Through the City Corner), (high bit clear), full volume
CB/4425: FE Return

CB/4426: F0 Play song 55 (The Magic House), (high bit clear), full volume
CB/4428: FE Return

Then, all he had to do was change play song 42 to play song 55, and PRESTO! "


NATTAK: "Haha, thanks, you guys. OK, let ME elaborate a bit more on this.

EXAMPLE:

CC/3D38: D2 Load map $00BD (Kohlingen, outdoors (WoR / ending)), position (16, 25), mode $C0
CC/3D3E: F0 Play song 52 (The Day After), (high bit clear), full volume

Song 52 = 32 in hex, use this chart to help you out with hex if need be:
http://www.ascii.cl/conversion.htm

This is a piece of code that is telling the game to play "The Day After" in WoR Kohlingen. There MIGHT be another instance, but this is the only one I could find at the moment. So what you would want to do is change the play song byte to Play song 13 (Locke) or 0D in hex. So open up your hex editor and get ready to go to the address: CC/3D38.

First, make sure you are in hi-rom, (options>display offset as> SNES Hi-ROM) so you can locate it easier by searching offset. Don't use the first C in your search, as that is the current bank you should be in. Instead search for "C3D38" and if you don't have a header, that will send you to the exact byte you need to change. If you DO have a header, you must add on 200 to C3D38. So C3F38 would be it in that case. You can also remove the header if you need to with winhex, or snestool. Umm...that's all I got, would anybody else care to add anything?"

SETZER: "OH! ME, ME! OK, as for using my totally awesome Blackjack theme for the Falcon's deck and flying it, you would need to locate the music pointer for that, and I'm afraid music pointers are not well documented. It's just like the keeping the Dark World song in after getting the Falcon, but the only difference is that THAT music pointer is documented in Cless's romhacking guide, so it was very easy to change it." Objection!

GAU: "Gau have NO idea where the Blackjack music pointer is." Hmm

TERRA: "Changing WoR Mobliz (outside) to Terra's (WoB) theme should be able to be done with just the level editor. Or is the problem that there's not an option for the WoB music in the level editor?? *sniff* I forget." Sad

EDGAR: "Don't be sad, my dear! If that IS the case, then the above method would also be applicable here as well." Smile
