Soft level cap for CFRU?

Axcellerator · Jul 23, 2022

Hello,does anyone know of a way to implement the soft level cap from fire red's modexe or "disable exp gain until certain badge" as it says for CFRU?For example I want pokemon to stop gaining exp as soon as they hit 16 lvl if you have not obtained the first badge yet.Then after you get it pokemon will start gaining exp again till the level cap for the next badge.Thanks in advance.

in exp.c in static
line 47 :

Code:

u32 ExpCalculator(u32 a, u32 t, u32 b, u32 e, u32 L, u32 Lp, u32 p, u32 f, u32 v, u32 s)

->

Code:

static u32 ExpCalculator(u32 a, u32 t, u32 b, u32 e, u32 L, u32 Lp, u32 p, u32 f, u32 v, u32 s, u32 bb)

line 473 :

Code:

static u32 ExpCalculator(u32 a, u32 t, u32 b, u32 e, u32 L, u32 Lp, u32 p, u32 f, u32 v, u32 s)

->

Code:

static u32 ExpCalculator(u32 a, u32 t, u32 b, u32 e, u32 L, u32 Lp, u32 p, u32 f, u32 v, u32 s, u32 bb)

then in the function, before

Code:

return MathMin(1640000, calculatedExp);

adds

Code:

calculatedExp *= bb

when declaring variable on line 150

Code:

u32 trainerBonus, tradeBonus, baseExp, eggBoost, defLevel, pokeLevel, passPower, affection, evolutionBoost, divisor;

become

Code:

u32 trainerBonus, tradeBonus, baseExp, eggBoost, defLevel, pokeLevel, passPower, affection, evolutionBoost, divisor, cap;

in the function, in the part where all the modifier are calculated add:

Code:

	u32 cap = 0;
                if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE01_GET) && pokeLevel >= 14)
			cap = 0;
		else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE02_GET) && pokeLevel >= 19)
			cap = 0;
		else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE03_GET) && pokeLevel >= 24)
			cap = 0;
		else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE04_GET) && pokeLevel >= 29)
			cap = 0;
		else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE05_GET) && pokeLevel >= 36)
			cap = 0;
		else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE06_GET) && pokeLevel >= 43)
			cap = 0;
		else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE07_GET) && pokeLevel >= 47)
			cap = 0;
		else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE08_GET) && pokeLevel >= 50)
			cap = 0;
		else 
			cap = 1;

changes the number to your needs

and at last when you see

Code:

calculatedExp += ExpCalculator(trainerBonus, tradeBonus, baseExp, eggBoost, defLevel, pokeLevel, passPower, affection, evolutionBoost, 2 * viaExpShare);

->

Code:

calculatedExp += ExpCalculator(trainerBonus, tradeBonus, baseExp, eggBoost, defLevel, pokeLevel, passPower, affection, evolutionBoost, 2 * viaExpShare, cap)

i don't know if this is the best solution, but works for me, after reaching the cap, each battle gives you 1xp.

when the tuction calculate varius modifier for the exp adds something like

Code:
u32 cap = 0;
if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE01_GET) && pokeLevel >= 14)
cap = 0;
else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE02_GET) && pokeLevel >= 19)
cap = 0;
else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE03_GET) && pokeLevel >= 24)
cap = 0;
else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE04_GET) && pokeLevel >= 29)
cap = 0;
else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE05_GET) && pokeLevel >= 36)
cap = 0;
else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE06_GET) && pokeLevel >= 43)
cap = 0;
else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE07_GET) && pokeLevel >= 47)
cap = 0;
else if (!FlagGet(FLAG_BADGE08_GET) && pokeLevel >= 50)
cap = 0;
else

I'm really sorry but I don't understand what you mean by this part
'when the tuction calculate varius modifier for the exp adds something like'

I've tried to compile it and I seem to be getting a few error while following your tutorial.

Is there anyway you could attach your exp.c file?

thealest · Aug 17, 2022

just put it under :

Code:

//Evolution Boost
		evolutionBoost = 10;
		if (CouldHaveEvolvedViaLevelUp(&gPlayerParty[gBattleStruct->expGetterMonId]))
			evolutionBoost = 12;

my exp.c have other modifications,
"when the tuction calculate varius modifier for the exp adds something like"
sorry i wrote that in a rush, i mean in the *function, in the part *where all the modifier are calculated.

Okay thank you,

If I get any errors when I compile can I show you and see what you think may be the problem?

thealest · Aug 17, 2022

Ye, no problem.
Add me to Discord if you want. (The username is on my profile page)

Splinxsh · Aug 17, 2022

Thankyou! I've just added you!

So before I had errors come up, I'll show you on discord what they were,

Did a couple of tweaks and now for some reason it's all compiled correctly but still not working. I don't get it haha

to anyone who wants to re-enable modexe badge based level cap in cfru,

we need to restore original atk23_getexp of firered (probably will break cfru introduced exp features)

find "F9 23 02 08" in a hack with CFRU inserted, the offset right behind it is a pointer to your atk23_getexp ( should be xx xx xx 08 or 09)

restore it to the original firered atk23_getexp pointer "69 1A 02 08"

this should allow modexe badge based level cap to work again.
