Three_Pendants

Wow! I am glad to see that small little page I put some notes on long ago have blossomed into this! As cool as Rebonack is (I never caught the similarities between Rebonack and Phantom Ganon before this, both fight half of the battle on their mount... hah.) you may want to add some custom matters to his boss fight. Strangely enough thirdquest.wordpress where I had placed my notes reset itself and those notes are again lost, (or they're here somewhere). As for where Phantom Ganon is concerned I did find some interesting matters about his actor... Well, I'll repost my Phantom Ganon notes as I'm sure you would want a somewhat different fight. CDE341 Damage of Phantom Ganon's Energy Ball Attack CDE36D Damage of Phantom Ganon's Spear Attack ROM - F1A778 (There might be more to boss building than what's in their file, because this is Far outside of the boss file, proper) RAM - 234C98 - SLTI, ST, T6, 0x0019 - 29C10019 - The amount of HP Damage that Phantom Ganon will have to take to jump off of his horse. Change accordingly if you plan on changing Phanton Ganon's base HP. ROM - CDD4BC RAM - 2308AC - ADDIU, T0, T9, 0xFFFE - 2728FFFE - (Negative Hex!)

Change accordingly keeping Negative Hex in mind) ROM - CDD3C4 RAM - 2307B4 - JAL 0x635D0 - 0C018D74 Jump to Link's Generic Weapons Routine.

RAM - 2307D4 - ADDIU, A1, R0, 0x0001 - 24050001 If it is a sword, deal damage based by the Generic Weapons Routine. RAM - 232658 - Phantom Ganon's Shock effect timer. RAM - 232660 - Phantom Ganon's AI Pattern Timer (00 - On Horseback, 01 - Close Range Energy Shots, 02 - Long Range Energy Shots, 03 - Longer Range Energy Shots, 04 - Spear Attack) ROM - CDD45C RAM - 23084C - ADDIU T3, Ro, 0x0078 - 240B0078 - Phantom Ganon's Stun Duration in his second phase. ROM - CDD360 RAM - 230750 - LUI, AT, 0x0001 - 3C010001 - Add 1 to Phantom Ganon's Defense Mode (guarding against Spirit Arrows/Unused Arrow 3) ROM - CDD364 RAM - 230754 - ORI AT, AT, 0x0000 - 3421F8A4 - Add F8A4 to Phantom Ganon's Defense Mode (See below) ROM - CDD49C RAM - 23088C - 3C010001 3421F8A4 - Except it is reversed to what is above. These are the only Damage Identifier Bytes that can damage him. As you can see only the Boomerang cannot hit him. Again this works only for projectiles in the first place. 1F8A4 is the answer. It is a kind of... "let only numbers that don't equal these bit values through". (Refer to Damage Identifier Bytes) 4 is Slingshot. 20 is Arrow, 80 is Hookshot = A0 800 is Fire Arrow F takes care of Ice/Light/Wind/Shadow Arrows... And the 1 takes care of Spirit Arrows. One at first glance might think this makes Phantom Ganon vulnerable to a lot of things, but his Defense Mode only activates with projectiles. If you wish to change his defenses, (like say, take away his vulnerability to Boomerangs) you would add a 10 to the overall value. And to remove them just take away in accordance with the Damage Identifier Bytes.

As I recall, isn't that a function of ZLE2 which allows you to import and export textures? JSA would know more about that then I would though.

This looks wonderful! I wish I had time to beta test, but I'm afraid time is not on my side recently (work to school, work to school, ad infinitum), I will say from what I've seen this mod looks fantastic!

Wow, you've even changed Link's sprite to look more inline with his TP counterpart! And those angles on that gate looks almost beyond the art of the N64! Fantastic shading and wonderful presentation!

Ah, now this sounds like a neat idea to create a compendium for a collection of maps and models which will then be freely distributed and, for the best part, to be put in one place. I would love to help but art has never been my forte, I wish you the best in this though.

Hmm, I wonder if that is a generic damage table, perhaps? I know when I was doing some disassembly research on enemies a while back several enemies lacked unique damage tables (Ghoma Larvae come distinctly to mind, hinting that they were originally supposed to be use uniquely in the boss fight.) which are also used by a fair amount of the bosses. I wonder if this damage table in code is something similar?

Oh those aren't addresses, they are bizarrely the length of the weapons. The third and fourth bytes don't appear to be related to the length, but the first two bytes are. The actual swipes can barely be seen at 4300 and the normal Master Sword is 457A, You can have a sword up to any conceivable length, but past 48A0 the game treats slashes in a strange fashion and the collision box for the blade is in a lot of places when swung.

That looks pretty good! I find some of these internal names as rather interesting. Maple for Irene makes a ton of sense, for instance. Is there any interesting beta in ALBW since you've decrypted the ROM?

Hmm, how about Sahasrahla and the Priest if you have the time? Also did you make these name labels or is this what they are when extracted?

Glad to see my work is as innocuous as ever, eh heh... https://www.the-gcn.com/topic/3001-zelda-oot-boss-modification-and-documentation/?do=findComment&comment=47254 Also with your weapon modifications you can alter the actual swing length to them if you'd like as well... https://www.the-gcn.com/topic/2976-equipped-weapon-collision-size/

Don't forget that you can also freely change some of the specifics about bosses! I'm looking forward to seeing progress on this and with an actual controller, rather than a button locking keyboard I should be able to play it freely.

An impressive feat! I am glad to see that you figured this all out.

Hmm... have you tried Nemu64? It may have been designed for that possibly.

Looking pretty good! A nice change I would say.

https://www.the-gcn.com/topic/565-useful-hacks-for-mods-debug-rom/ About halfway down the first page (though there's plenty of good stuff in there) is a post by giadrosich who mentions explicitly how to start up the game in another location.

Well after a bit of time I finally finished my preliminary information on Ganon! There is a lot in here and a lot that... unfortunately isn't in here. I feel his attack animations likely have their speed set by their own internal timer and since Ganon is the largest actor in the game (in terms of data) that would be like searching for a needle in a haystack unfortunately. What is here however is many timers, damage dealing capacity, stunning vulnerabilities, and his HP amount before the Master Sword can be retrieved! And for those challenge oriented I even included a hack that makes it so Ganon no longer takes damage from Deku Nuts! ---------------------------------Ganon----------------------------------------- ROM - B0ECF0 - (241900FF) RAM - 97B50 - ADDIU - T9, R0, 0x00FF (Replace Master Sword with Nothing when knocked away) ROM - B0ECF8 - (A0790068) RAM - 97B58 - SB - T9, 0x0068(v1) (Store in B Button Slot (V1 in this case is 15E660+68 which is the B Button Slot) You may change this as you like.)

I wanted a cleaner solution like JALing to another instruction. but unfortunately I'm not skilled enough for that yet. Ah well, this solution does have a damage indication, when Ganon is not actually hurt his tail does not flicker red. Old Damage notes CD2155 Ganon's Attack - (40) CD2179 Ganon's Second Attack (40) That is all the bosses of OoT taken over with a preliminary look! I learned a great ton of knowledge for my own hacking experience in doing this along with more efficient ways to find data that I had previously given up on. In the coming weeks you can expect to see revisits of several of the bosses and maybe even some info. on normal foes.

So next is Ganondorf! I discovered every single timer of his, how to change what he is vulnerable to when stunned (light arrows), his HP Conditional on using his Dark Spell, and more! ROM - CE8B64 - RAM - 233BE4 - ADDIU - T4, R0, 0x043F - Ganondorf's "Set Exit" as he dies.

Next up is Morpha with... nothing. I could not find anything of interest in Morpha's file. It was a little strange, but then again Morpha Really isn't that interesting of a boss. With only a single damage check in its file and no timers that I could locate I didn't really have a lot to go on with Morpha, let me check my old damage notes though and see if I have anything on it at least... No dice. Alright then... well I found a bit of information Bongo-Bongo but most importantly on him is that he Uses His Damage Table through and through which you can find on the wiki. He wasn't that complicated of a boss in terms of timers and actions that I could locate either, I'm afraid. -------------------------------------Bongo Bongo-------------------------------------------- ROM - CF2684 - RAM - 22E5F4 - ADDIU - T6, R0, 0x007F - Bongo Bongo's Timer before one of the hands attacks (240E007F) ROM - CF3348 - RAM - 22F2B8 - ADDIU - T5, R0, 0x0032 - Bongo Bongo's Stun Timer (240D0032) ROM - CF3600 - RAM - 22F570 - Bongo Bongo turning himself invisible.

Next I'll be tackling Ganondorf and Ganon and that will be the preliminary research on bosses complete!

Here's a little update on items, I've located the range of the Boomerang and the extending range of Din's Fire, so each of these items can be made less or more powerful in an easy to shift manner that is independent of its damage byte.

Thank you for the kind words Airikita, JSA, I'll try to keep that confidence moving forward. Next up we have Volvagia who turned out to be a much more interesting actor than I had originally thought and some instructions in the actor will make me rethink my previous entries and probably take another look at them. Of note in Volvagia I found a hidden weakness to Ice Arrows. In the ground phase they are the only non-swung weapon to deal 4 damage to him and in flight form it also deals 4 damage (in a different manner). Because Volvagia is such a timer heavy boss and has a lot of HP Conditionals I located what I could but I was unable to locate the amount of HP before he starts his rock slide or when he starts to fake Link out when emerging from the fire pits. So without further ado here is the information on Volvagia.

Thanks Airikita. Also a last minute update on a component that was meant to be in the original post but was lost when the post was lost. I've reinserted it, it's the Generic Weapon Damage routine.

That looked exactly like I thought it would! But with the Ocarina Pedestal there, there's one odd frame of Link lying unconscious on it which I don't believe is in the normal game. In any case great testing there Airikita!

Here are my notes on Zelda Bosses up until Phantom Ganon, sorry for the relative lack of a description or explanation, but I just lost the original post which was much longer and more detailed than this will end up being. In any case with this you will have a much greater control over the covered bosses and make them as challenging or as simple as you may like. Some bosses are more moddable than others as you can see. I must also point you towards Zeldazelda's Notes... for a greater understanding and ability in modification of bosses and in his case, normal enemies as well. Please find these noteshere May 30th Update - I lost this in the initial post yesterday but I took the time to find the values in ROM again this morning (I know, how careless of me to record it here than in my notes in the first place...) this is 635D0, the Generic Damage Routine that all weapons go through if there is no Damage Table present and is used for the vast majority of bosses as every boss but Final Phase-Barinade and possibly Bongo-Bongo do not have Damage Tables. I have the values in RAM and ROM. Keep in mind that these values are Universal meaning if you make the Kokiri Sword deal 3 damage instead of 1 it will deal 3 damage to Every Boss (except those aforementioned) May 31st Update - I realized that I had forgotten to find the Slingshot's stun duration on Ghoma so I went back to find it. --------------------------------------------------Generic Damage Routine------------------------------------------------- Mapping 635D0 ROM -ADA77C RAM -635DC - BEQ - T6, R0 - 11C00003 Checking Weapon Used, if it is the Kokiri Sword (0100=Kokiri Sword Swing) it is not branched.

It is a kind of... "let only numbers that don't equal these bit values through". (Refer to Damage Identifier Bytes here 4 is Slingshot. 20 is Arrow, 80 is Hookshot = A0 800 is Fire Arrow F takes care of Ice/Light/Wind/Shadow Arrows... And the 1 takes care of Spirit Arrows. One at first glance might think this makes Phantom Ganon vulnerable to a lot of things, but his Defense Mode only activates with projectiles.If you wish to change his defenses, (like say, take away his vulnerability to Boomerangs) you would add a 10 to the overall value. And to remove them just take away in accordance with the Damage Identifier Bytes. And that's all for now! But next week I plan to tackle Volvagia and the rest of the bosses! If you also happen to have any boss information that isn't here then please by all means, share in the knowledge.

Haha! By the end of this project you're going to have more unused maps than used ones! It sort of reminds me of Nintendo's own creative process in making OoT. In any case your new Forest Gale Ruins is amazing! I literally gasped when I saw what you had done with it. As for those unused maps and dungeons... I think we could find a use for them in ZB2, almost without a doubt.
