Pretty much... and then Atrius made the one for GS2, and likely didn't test it.
If there are still problems after fixing the issue with the comment character (#), let me know. (If it still doesn't work, I will also want to ask what localization you are using? e.g. (U) version?)


Line 5060 in Atrius editor (appears blank)
The same line (#13C4) in gstoolkit appears as: #{00}

#13C3 Lucky Medals{00}
Lucky Medals{00}
#13C4 #{00}
#{00}
#13C5 {1A}{01}: Toss{00}
{1A}{01}: Toss{00}
#13C6 {1A}{02}: Quit{00}
{1A}{02}: Quit{00}

is that the one where one of the lines start with a #? (Where # would be read as a comment character when it shouldn't be.)

Yep.
The DLL was coded in, I think C++?..... Those files can open in Notepad... but you may need a compiler to compile them.
The point of the DLL is because it executes faster than GML... It contains things like managing the ROM's free space, decompression, etc. (Not a whole lot.)
Most of the interesting stuff is in the .gmk file... which needs the Game Maker application to see.

There are still some functions that push/pop r4... such as from 08016E0C in GS2. (Relating to Save Game mechanics)

And also same for the audio section. (081C0000) ... We know Camelot uses the Sappy Engine... The code here looks kinda weird at times, though.... so it could have been compiled separately. (Kinda like how DLLs are.)

Atrius's Editor was coded in GML, and the DLL it uses was coded in C++, yes. (DLL because GML is slow, and even then I still think GML is inefficient... and so... I made my incomplete/experiment gsmagic program. (Another GS editor... mainly for GS2, but needs a lot of work.)

___ROM hacking?___ (Warning: Text might be confusing for newbies, but I'm trying to give a gist without spending too much time explaining right now.)
If you want to do more with editing the GS ROMs, I'd suggest getting use to VBA's memory viewer and disassembler. (Under Tools.)  Also, maybe get a generic hex editor too. (I consider it optional since you can save dumps of ROM section from memory viewer.) ...  I don't expect anyone to learn it overnight. The disassembler shows thumb/arm (most of the time, you will want to read in thumb; arm is used too, but not a whole lot), which is the assembly language the code is in.
So if you learn that (GBATEK is also pretty necessary), then going a step further, you get to use a breakpoint debugger to help locate and document things a bit easier... I usually use SDL-H, but no$gba is good too.)
Taking all this in mind, this is what led up to me docing the data in my Google Docs. (GS2 is the most studied.)

___Rebuilding?___
Have you heard of OpenGoldenSun? -- Nevermind, I'm convinced that's a dead project.

BUT. There is someone else who was working on a project you might be interested in. = https://jjppof.github.io/goldensun_html5/
We are active on Discord, so that's also be a good place to contact the GSHC Community. (Including jjppof.)

-Teawater/Teaman

Are we talking about SQL injection? (I would try it if I knew what I was doing... (so I can inform Sala/Kain/Atrius in PM) ... but I guess someone else can check. (Depending on whether it was already fixed or not.)

If that's the vuln and it was never fixed, I'd suggest looking into it right away.

Your English is wonderful.  You would have me fooled.  There may be a few very minor things like commas, but that's normal/everyone messes those up from time to time (including me)... and is most likely acceptable informally.

I already played this mod several times, and I just wanted to say that I adore it.

(Example - Connecting two sentences uses a comma and conjunction word.  Edit: Or alternately, a semi-colon. (;))


And I like how this is the only real active topic on this forum. :D :D.... What if we name this site to... Golden Sun Reloaded Community

Sounds like you probably clicked the Editors button? That's only for GS2 right now.

For GS1, you should only be able to view maps. - Eventually, I shall get to doing more with it, but I'm often lazy, and could easily be a few years. =p

That would be the latest "public" release, yes.

Is it possible to have the Christmas Theme year-round?  Is there a setting/Can one be made?

Welcome! I will third Misery, and second Salanewt.

Seems blank for Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer. (Hopefully I'm not using outdated versions? *shrug*)

Seems to work with Google Chrome and Firefox, though. So that's good.

You are welcome!
(FYI - Daddy Poi is a reference to that old guy in Kandarian temple (or whatever it is called.), and how a few of us joked about him on Discord way back. Heheh.)



Sounds like daddy boy to me, kinda.

Might take a lot of screenshots to show everything... so won't go over everything right now, but I guess I can give you a few...

It may be kind of messy. - And plenty of work may need to be done.
But here's what Heightmap looks like. (You can also edit them too, if you are on the Height table page in subwindow.)
And here's what the Events may look like.

In both, it's done in three layers, so to see the other layers, hit 1/2/3 on keyboard. (Layers may be blank if it wasn't needed.)

And third image is what the subwindow looks like when you can put event tiles in the map. I have this here to also show that each tile lists the frequency of how often they were used in the map. (The tile uses a brighter color if the frequency is at least 1... with the exception of ID 0.)
The latest release version actually does 16 columns instead of 10.... but I decided to try 10, and I haven't finished fixing it. Heheh.



And the Editors windows is also kind of messy/needs work. Has a few tables, and I consider it slightly less interesting, so didn't include screenshots. (PLus, I'm limited to 4 per post, so...)

You found Magic River? (A known bug in the original.) Good job!

Would be interesting to see if your project could completely replace gsmagic some day. I guess we'll see. I think I felt more comfortable working with C# than with Javascript, but if I get use to Javascript, then I guess it could work out.


Djinnis = Typo? "Djinn" would be the plural form. ("Djinni" is the singular.)
And I believe it to be pronounced as Jen/Jenny.

So I'm reading that someone posted on Twitter back in January about a new Metroid and a new Paper Mario.

Thoughts?

[The main thing is that I don't account for char IDs of 0x100+.]

Aw. That's unfortunate.
Hm. Well. At least you figured out.
I have three versions of decompression routines for text myself. (All of which decompress all strings at once.)
Oh yeah, and all this is C#.
The main thing is that I don't account for char IDs of 0x100+. (GS2 (U) version does not have any chars from 0x100+ anyway.)

That's great.
I'm not sure how well those run if you use WINE, but it might be an option.
I am happy to see someone besides me working on anything Editor related! So keep up the good work. And prepare for the huge challenge that it probably brings.
A Javascript version?  Can't wait to see it.

In the event you only need to patch a single ips file, you don't necessarily need an IPS patching program. Since VBA has Auto-patching (if enabeled), which means that if the ROM and the IPS are in the same folder with the same name, VBA will patch it. (Not on the file itself, but on the copy it loaded.)
. (e.g. gs2.gba and gs2.ips)

@Android:
No idea. I only built it (gsmagic) with PC in mind.
But the program is open sourced, so if any changes are needed to make it work with Android, then by all means! :)
Just as clueless with Atrius's editor as well.
Maybe when I get another smart phone... or repair the one I messed up probably a year ago or so (probably won't bother? :Shrug:)...., I could probably consider looking into it.... or maybe I wouldn't need those. It's stuff I'd have to figure out.
