Hello.
Please forgive me if this belongs someplace else; I'm not really sure how to catigorize this.
For a few months now I've been attempting to perform a save file modification which will reset the status of the event involving Bianca and her father outside the musical hall (the one where she convinces him to let her continue on her adventure), so that the game will allow this cutscene to play again. I've come pretty close actually. I found one byte that relates to this event at 0X20212. The strange thing is that it only resets a portion of the related events; 0 means you haven't fought off Team Plasma to receive the byke; 1 means you have but haven't been inside the musical hall yet to receive the props case; 2 means you've done that but haven't seen the Bianca, Dad and Elesa scene; and 3 means all of these events are completed. The odd thing is, setting this value back to 0 lets you redo the battle, and Bianca will in fact drag you back to the musical hall if you try to enter route 5 but the event inside that building won't progress. This leaves you stuck. Taking the props case away using PokeGen or similar doesn't resolve this either. Setting it to two seams to generate a short version of the last scene or something. To me this suggests that the values involved in determining whether this event is available or completed are needlessly complicated. Does anybody know where I might be able to turn to next in order to determine what other bytes might be responsible for this? I'm using the NDS adapter plus to copy save files from my cartridge and some of my own tools to compare before and after saves to try and determine what changes as a result of that event's completion. If I can work this out, I'm interested in resetting other storyline events as well. As a game developer myself this event seams like it should be controled by nothing more than a couple of ints / booleans!
Any ideas?
Thanks.
