Rage and Dance descriptions

Figured I'd dump this since it's fairly isolated anyway.

Code:

hirom

; set up dance descriptions
ORG $C328AA
jsr dances
lda $09
bit #$80 ; did you press B?
beq return_Dance ; branch if not
jsr $29A5
return_Dance:
rts


; set up rage descriptions
; Insert address for 'rageDescript' below, and uncomment this JSR.
org $c328ba
;jsr rageDescript
rts

; insert your address here
org InsertAddressHere
rageDescript:
lda #$10
trb $45
lda #$03
sta $2a
jsr $0EFD
jsr $1f64
bcs rage_End
jsr $4c52

ldx #$2700 ; pointer offset
stx $e7
ldx #$0000 ; text
stx $eb
lda #$xx ; bank
sta $e9
lda #$xx ; bank
sta $ed
jsr $572a

lda $09
bit #$80
beq rage_End
jsr $29A5
rage_End:
rts

dances:
lda #$10
trb $45
jsr $0EFD
jsr $4BD4
jsr dance_Desc
rts

dance_Desc:
ldx #$2500 ; pointer offset
stx $E7
ldx #$0000 ; text
lda #$xx ; bank
sta $e9
lda #$xx ; bank
sta $ed
jmp $572a

This looks awesome---wish I knew what to do with it! I haven't needed an assembler yet (if that's what's actually needed).

You could theoretically do it in hex but you're going to be spending some time looking up opcodes.

This is set to display the descriptions in battle or is it worked into the menu?

It's menu code. There is no way to display the descriptions in battle. Flat out not enough VRAM for that kind of thing.

I admit I'm a bit confused reading this, how do we implement these?

You'll need to add pointers and descriptions yourself. Pointers are two bytes.

1) Find space for this routine; modify "org InsertAddressHere" with good address.

2) Uncomment this: ";jsr rageDescript"

3) Then change LDA or LDX if neccesary to suit you. You obviously need to change both banks (xx):

Pointer address (xx/2700)

Code:

ldx #$2700 ; pointer offset
stx $e7

Code:

lda #$xx ; bank
sta $e9

descriptions (xx/0000)

Code:

ldx #$0000 ; text
stx $eb

Code:

lda #$xx ; bank
sta $ed

I know this is an old thread, but would anyone be willing to add in the Dance descriptions as a patch using this code?

FYI, there is an error in dn's code under the "dance_Desc" label -- missing stx $eb after the "text" line.
Below is the fix.

Code:

dance_Desc:
ldx #$2500 ; pointer offset
stx $E7
ldx #$0000 ; text
stx $eb
lda #$xx ; bank
sta $e9
lda #$xx ; bank
sta $ed
jmp $572a

@"Rodimus Primal" This ought to fit the bill:
