Description
This hack remove the last elemental weakness set by the debilitator on a monster before setting the current elemental weakness picked in the debilitator special effect code, meaning a monster can only have one current elemental weakness set by the debilitator (excluding those set in the monster data or by other means).
To achive this, the hack use 6 bytes of free RAM to store the last elemental weakness set by the debilitator; $3E2D, $3E2F, $3E31, $3E33, $3E35 and $3E37, also known as $3E25,Y (or $3E25,X) in the code for a character/monster.
The bank $C2 hack use 23 bytes of free space at $C26469 and the EX hack use the same amount at $EEAF01. Those free space offsets can be changed in a ASM file by changing the offset of the “seek” macro call. Both hacks insert a JSL or JSR in the debilitator special effect code at $C23AA8.
To assemble the hack use bass v14 by typing a command such as “bass -o rom.smc debilitator_C2.asm”.
