| Hi all. I'm interested in hacking this game, to produce a CO Balance hack, as quite frankly a lot of the COs in the game need tweaks to their abilities and there's a few that are grossly unbalanced. I would be editing things like power star costs, unit offence and defence abilties and the like. Modifying a few numbers. I also intend to replace the AW2 Sturm Sprite with the AW1 one, so I probably need to know if it's easily doable. Having read a few of threads around, I figured that Zero corrupting would be a good place to start, but before I do, I was wondering if anyone has any helpful information on the game in particular, plus any pitfalls I should watch out for, merely being a newbie hacker. My eventual aim would be to make a CO editor, mainly for the large Custom CO community that I'm part of...to actually make CCOs are reality. But that's just a pipe dream for now. Thanks all.  Well, after having a poke with a hex editor, I found pretty well all the game's text completely uncompressed. Not to mention 16megabits of wasted space. Yay! Now, at least that'll be simple to edit. Okay, there's a HELL of a lot of patterning and zeroes in the bulk of the rom. It scares me. Edit Again: Yeah, the text hacking is really simple.   Yet another edit: Yeah...you guys are supremely unhelpful, No one wants to comment or anything?  Hmm..well, as I guess I suspected, there's a whole mishmash of graphics all over the rom. They're everywhere, and editing them with YY-CHR doesn't seem to be having any noticable effect in game, any ideas? Maybe there's a compressed repeat of the graphics stored elsewhere..I don't know. Question: How difficult is it to look and see if and where compressed graphics are contained in a GBA rom? If it's too difficult, I'll probably give up on that for now.. Secondly, I'm not having very much success in finding any CO stats. It's very difficult when you don't have any preset numbers on which to go on (All of them are only known as percentage increases/decreases)..anyone got any ideas on how I could find these quicker? Edit: Geez, can't you guys say ANYTHING? I come asking for help and I'm summarily ignored. Thanks a lot guys....
