I think it's unavoidable. The instant one person passes 30 it happens, probably because the pointers are all mixed up after level 30.

But it's a small price to pay. After using a spell 5 thousand times, I think you would know how to increase the damage.

As I said, I'll try my best to fully explain the process once my game is complete. I'll need to find all of the negative after effects before I tell everybody how to do it.

$C2/2CE5 A6 EE       LDX $EE    [$00:00EE]   A:00F5 X:0000 Y:0002 P:envmxdIzC
$C2/2CE7 E2 20       SEP #$20                A:00F5 X:2C00 Y:0002 P:envmxdIzC
$C2/2CE9 BF 60 00 40 LDA $400060,x[$40:2C60] A:00F5 X:2C00 Y:0002 P:envMxdIzC
$C2/2CED C7 EA       CMP [$EA]  [$F5:A0CD]   A:0009 X:2C00 Y:0002 P:envMxdIzC
$C2/2CEF C2 20       REP #$20                A:0009 X:2C00 Y:0002 P:eNvMxdIzc
$C2/2CF1 10 0B       BPL $0B    [$2CFE]      A:0009 X:2C00 Y:0002 P:eNvmxdIzc


NOP all of that out with 'EA' then where '10 0B' is, change it to 'C2 20'. The message should display no matter what level you are now *I THINK*

Hmm..what offset is that? It might have something to do with the pointers as well. Which reminds me..I think one of the pointers in the docs is wrong. Te one that points to the Learn spell at level.

Don't know how you found this out, BUT IT WORKED!!! Thanks. This info needs to be bookmarked for others. Thanks. I'll be sure to give you credit for this information.

We've got a problem. It took me a whole day of digging..and I traced it back...

Changing the 10 0b to C2 20 does indeed pass the level 30 reading...however, Smithy isn't too happy about it..He won't fight you in his second form....

Apparently for some odd reason when you do this, the game freezes right after Smithy Transforms... And it doesn't effect anything else!!!!!


BUT...........
We have a loop hole. Yes I'm persistant.

My option now is to manually edit each and every ally spell that has a message display. I simply place the "Display Battle message" on top of the animation. It's not like the actually thing, but close to it, and I shouldn't have to worry about screwing of hex codes.
Example.....

Mario normally runs p to the foe to use Fire orb right? Well have him use Fire Orb in his default spot instead..which gives e room to add the battle message at the start of the animation. You would then need to go down to where the message normally is and remove it so you don't see it twice from levels 1-30.

Of course this is only for people who want to pass level 30, but I'll explain how it's done after my hack is one. This is why I haven't done it yet because I need to look for negative side effects...and BOY was that a big one...

Last view: 894 days 		Do you happen to have a savestate or a SRM file to fighting Smithy? It'd be wonderful to have so I can trace WHY it's doing so specifically for him.
