How Do You Hack A Code That Let's Any Party Member Equip Anything? [RPG]

[Dybbles]

I'm trying to make a code in Mother 3, that will let anyone equip anything.
I want to make this code so, Boney can equip weapons to make himself stronger and more useful.

I don't even know where to start.
Any tips?

There are a few different ways you can do this, but the quickest would be to use MESS to make a trace of a character than can equip something, and another trace of a character trying to equip something they can't. Take the "can't equip" trace and load it into Branch Finder, then use the "Log Compare" option and load in the "can equip" trace into the compare window. The program should show you the difference between the two trace logs (if the execution count of the check was the same in both log files), and hopefully the branch(s) controlling whether an item can be equipped or not. It will also show you branches unique to each log that may further aid you in areas of code to check if the compare found nothing different on the same execution count. If a regex doesn't exist for the trace (you get a "no branches found" message on the initial load), then attach the log to this thread, and I'll attempt to make one for you to use.

An alternative method would be to set a "break on read" on the character slot modifier address when attempting to equip an item to see what is checking the character value along with any following checks that may be preventing the action.

Thank you very much, Abystus! I'll give this a shot right now.
