Is Cross Item music rando in the works? #1

Open RevanXVIV opened 1 year ago

Hello, I'm just curious if the music randomization feature is being worked on to be compatible with the cross item randomizer seeds? I've only been playing cross item lately and would love this feature to happen.

It was attempted. The trouble is that the data that music shuffle needs to modify could be anywhere in an Oracles Randomizer NG ROM, and could move to a different place every time NG is updated. So I wrote some code to search for a pattern of bytes that looked like a music table -- this code worked with vanilla ROMs, Oracles Randomizer, and my LynnaLab hack, but not with NG.

I'm sure it would be possible to do this. It would just require a deeper dig, and maybe some coordination with NG.

Gotcha, so it's kind of like the music shuffle data is constantly moving locations which would make it impossible to randomize. Well I wish you and your team the best of luck.
