Mail editing support? #20

Open nonhic opened 6 years ago

nonhic commented 6 years ago

This is my first-ever post on GitHub so please bear with me.

Is it possible/wise to add support for deleting mail in my character's personal letter box? I was messing around with time capsules and ended up with two stuck in my letters with no ability to delete them, bury them, store them, or in any other way remove them from my character's letters. Just opening up the garden_plus.dat in Notepad I see that mail is stored there including the wretched time capsules.

Looking through your source code, I see that you have a class for it though no option to edit it in the actual editor. I tried using marcrobledo's editor for this issue but in his code he wrote, "TO-DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" next to his offset for PLAYER_LETTERS. Haha.

Is this a planned feature for your editor? Do you have any advice for how I might delete these time capsules? I'm only a novice with programming otherwise I wouldn't bother you but would try and figure it out on my own; for now, it is certainly a daunting task. I am glad there are people like you who are so helpful! Thank you for all your efforts on this editor, by the way! It's quite robust and very useful.

Mail/Message Board Post editing is planned. In fact, I have stubbed classes already for them. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to them yet. In the meantime, however, I wouldn't mind manually removing them from your save file for you. If you'd like that, just attach it to a comment reply here on GitHub, and I'll fix it for you!

Wow!! Thank you so much! I will absolutely take you up on your offer because it destroys my soul a little bit every time I have to open up my mail and see those horrid time capsules.

I attached my whole save directory (including the garden_plus.dat) in case you need it. I hope I did it right. 00000863.zip

Thank you again!

No problem! You sent everything I needed to fix it.

I went ahead and removed both of them for you. I'd keep your backup just in case, but it worked fine when I tested it on an emulator!

Here's the fixed save: 00000863 - Removed Time Capsules.zip

You did it! Thank you so much! I loaded it up and everything is perfect. I really appreciate your time. And I look forward to your eventual release of the feature!
