Well, this sucks. Okay, last question, I promise. Can you think of any way to get a text file with a list of enemies (at least the names, since that's what's difficult to extract from the ROM)? The editor obviously can pull all the data, so there must be a way. Maybe someone already has such a list?

Misc. GS Hacking / Re: How is enemy data stored in the game?

Yeah, I know about the double posts. Sorry.
And thanks for the info. Maybe I'm asking a lot of things, but would you mind giving me a rough description of how the text is compressed? I don't need to know a specific algorithm to uncompress, just simple things. Like, does it use a dictionary for common words? Thank you in advance.

GameFAQs has given me that bad habit.

Wow, thank you.
Oh, and do you know where the names are stored?
Wait, there is something weird. Are you sure the ICC is a byte? Because that means the short that holds the experience is reversed (in the monster I was checking, it seemed to be 0xE600 instead of ox00E6). I understand how big endian vs little endian works; all the other numbers match perfectly. It's just this one. It seems that there should be an extra empty byte between the ICC and the experience.

Maybe this already exists, but I couldn't find it.
I thought it would be nice if it was possible to make a script that can pull all the enemies' data from a ROM and put it into a text file. I figured that since you can view this stuff with the Editor, someone has to know where the data is and how to interpret the hex.

Misc. GS Hacking / Re: Does anyone know how Poseidon changes movesets?

Well, it doesn't work like that, since my Poseidon used both Ocean Fist and Watery Grave before using the Trident.

Misc. GS Hacking / Does anyone know how Poseidon changes movesets?
16, January, 2010, 07:30:25 PM
I found out that there's two Poseidons in the enemy list because of the different moves, but I couldn't figure out what determines what moveset he uses. At first I thought he changed movesets after his force field was broken, but that's not true. For example, this is what he did against me: Ocean Fist, Watery Grave, Attack, Watery Grave, Counter-Rush, then I used the Trident on him, then Attack, Typhoon Blow
As you can see, the Trident didn't do anything significant. Maybe he randomly chooses one moveset and then the other?
A search of the forums revealed that some enemies like Dullahan have special moves for this, but apparently not Poseidon.
