ACTOR_DATA_START=0x0fdc -- different in J --iwram addressNot familiar with BizHawk's memory domains, but actordata() should probably return the value at that address - 0x2000000 rather than just the value; not sure if there are other cases where I dereference an in-memory pointer. I can add support for J/E tonight and do the conversion if you'd like; what are you doing to tell the version of the current ROM, so I can keep it consistent with that?
Can you make your damage prediction with parameters for bro pow, enemy def, etc.? Will make it easier to make a calculator. @jlun2, I honestly had no idea what I was doing.Language: Lualocal GameVersion=0 local GameVersionText="" if gameinfo.getromhash()=="7C303CDDE5061EE329296948060B875CB50BA410" then GameVersion=1 -- usa GameVersionText="USA" elseif gameinfo.getromhash()=="EDC538AC505BFCD337ABDD03B3A6F2744D81EAAB" then GameVersion=2 -- jp GameVersionText="Japan" elseif gameinfo.getromhash()=="FA2314C2FBE0DB1AB17175F8BE7CCEB0AB084EFC" then GameVersion=3 -- eu GameVersionText="Europe" else GameVersion=4 GameVersionText="Game not recognized" end

ThatEpicYoshi♣ on Youtube has commented on my glitch compilation video about a potential new glitch: as i got to the air port area i was messing around with mario and luigi's abilities (mainly fire-thunderhand) i was near the block, i actually hit the block a few inches away from the save album. then i ended up testing the elemental hand near the save album and suddleny it just started floating to the other block (that one was a wide M & L block.) then it stayed. i couldn't hit the save album because it was literally inside the wide one so i went to another area and back and it was in it's rightufl place. i'm not exactly sure what caused it. it might've been the wide block. idk, but this seems to be an un-discovered glitch. They said they used normal VBA 1.8.0-beta 3. Just posting this here for future reference.
But if you hit the nearby saveblock, the stacked event pointers are overwritten. And weird stuff happens -> The saveblock moves. I remember seeing similar weirdness when I tested events back when I added the functionality to my luascript. Random sprites would move in random directions etc. Because the game jumped to a bad ROM pointer. Now, if this could be done somewhere else in the game..... Or if it can be influenced..... Needs testing. You can hit the saveblock at close to the same time the wide block gets solid for some strange outcomes, e.g.: Screen may fade black without sending you to the save screen If you hit the saveblock while it is moving, it will stop and the wide block will be alive forever. You can farm free money forever from this block since the timer already reached the end (but the block is not solid). It will turn solid when you leave the room, though. Edit: Actually, the overwritten events aren't the cause of the bug, it seems. It seems to be a very minor oversight that the event is handled slightly differently. $004C14 turns different values between the "hit saveblock" and "don't hit saveblock" cases at the time the wide block is supposed to get solid. Not sure what this address does but it's related to the bug.
I'm starting to understand the bug better. When hitting the wide block, layer 2 holds event pointer related to it. But if you do something that occupies layer 2 as well - such as hitting a saveblock or standing in front of a person or map - then the movement bug happens. It doesn't seem like anything else happens instead of the movement.
Edit:
There is a wide block in Joke's end (+ a fire place with a cutscene) and in Fungitown (+ 2 NPCs) but the glitch effects aren't very special. The two Toads in Fungitown can't be talked to after the glitch, but no movement happens. You can walk around with speech bubbles there too.
If you do it at the Joke's end fire place, the cutscene event can be stopped which can cause the screen to be stuck forever.
Edit:
Some loading zones are tied to events. That's why this happens. In this case, Mario and Luigi are the object that moves to the wideblock.
Note how the wide block disappears. You can also, alternatively, make a brother disappear (which can softlock the game somewhat).
Edit:
The outcomes can be severe (game crashing when pausing or re-entering the room).
~~~
Here is a lua I use to investigate wideblock/dialogue glitches. There seems to be a speech bubble pointer for each room, so they would have to be searched all the time...
I'm thinking the bug is because of the speech bubble that can't be clicked away immediately. So I'm looking for more NPCs that have those.
$000910 ~ $000913 -- This location changes when brothers jump (not sure why). Can be used to make game change BGM to unused tracks probably due to a glitch.
(2D 00 06 00 sets it to unused music that hasn't been documented on tcrf yet. Not sure if those values always work.)
$000915 -- if 0x01, BGM plays. If frozen at 0x00, it's muted or hangs.
$000918 ~ $00091D -- Volume of sound channels. 0xFF means full, 0x80 means half, 0x00 means silence.
* $000919 = SFX (Most but not all)
* $00091B = BGM
$000924 -- SFX pace. 0x4B seems default. <0x4B means faster. >0x4B means slower. 0x00 = game freeze (when attempting to play music)
$000928 -- BGM pace. 0x4B seems default. <0x4B means faster. >0x4B means slower. 0x00 = game freeze (when attempting to play music)
$00092C -- ? pace.
