Chaning type byte?
« on: September 09, 2011, 06:34:34 pm »
Is there a way to change the type byte of a program using axe, for example, changing it into an appvar? If so, how?

I know that you could create a new appvar and copy your data into it, which is similar to what you are suggesting

If you wanted to change the type byte of a variable without creating a second copy, you'd need to find the variable's VAT entry.
A simple tutorial on the VAT is located here.

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Yeah, I didn't want to make a second copy since I want it reversible as well. I got it now though, so thank you!
