Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX

[lastingman]

I've really searched hard for the Always Great cheat. But finally I give up. Most I can do is find the Motivation Value for the training drills.

I've read up in the Legend Cup that if Motivation is greater than the Great Threshold. The drill will result in GREAT.
Motivation > Great Threshold calculation [Random # ranges from 0-255] [Also I'm using a good natured monster]
Light Drills
(10 x (Motivation / 10)) > ((10000 x Random#[1] / 25500) % 100) - (Nature / 10)

Heavy Drills
(10 x (Motivation / 10)) > (Random#[1] % 100) - (NATURE / 10)

I hate math and I can't find this Random #. I'm probably searching it wrong. But eh, I give up.
Game caps the Motivation at 100. So far setting the Motivation to 255 makes it likely that the Monster will do GREAT in drills. I had a Hare/Tiger do 3 GREATs one after the other.

Thanks for the code. I really do appreciate the effort.

Right now, testing it on my Zilla, but it seems that I'm not really getting any greats at the moment. Will continue to test code. Maybe use other species to test it out.

EDIT 1: I toned down the motivation to 100, still no greats, but it does seem to work as all drill have my monster be happy about them. I'm not sure if it is a side effect of the code or if it is the monster themselves, but they seem to want to have items given constantly. Will continue to test further.

EDIT 2: IDK for you, but setting the motivation above the intended cap makes my monster always request an item before a drill. The gains from them also seem to be lower that usual, as least that's what it looks like on my end.

How to use this cheat table?

1. Install Cheat Engine
2. Double-click the .CT file in order to open it.
3. Click the PC icon in Cheat Engine in order to select the game process.
4. Keep the list.
5. Activate the trainer options by checking boxes or setting values from 0 to 1

Even without tampering with the Motivation values. Some monsters will often ask for something when it has certain values for Loyalty and Style. Even before I found the values. I had a Pixie constantly asking me for Nuts Oil. A Hopper asking for Candy. A Hare asking for Ice Cream and so on. It may or may not have something to do with the values. But I can say that some monster Types ask for items regardless of Motivation being changed

~Edit~
But yeah, even at 100 Motivation and 100 Nature [Good Monster]. The chances for a GREAT drill is 20%
Very bad monsters with 100 Motivation is 5% for a GREAT

Yeah, just tested with other species, and those percentages are on the mark, more or less. At least we can set it to a point where even bad natured monsters can do decently at drills, as compared to before. And I tested the item thing, and extending it past 100 makes them always ask for an item. I first activated as normal, per your instructions, and they'd always ask for something, then I turned it off and some drills they ask and some don't. Lastly, I set them to the game coded 100 and all of the drills motivate the monster.

As an extra, I set the values to 255 but not freeze it and the next week, some drills still retained the 255 motivation while others reverted to normal. When I used the drills with the 255 motivations, they asked for items, but those that normalized went on normally. My guess is that the 100 motivation is hard-coded in a way that passing it makes the value overflow, but I'm not really a coder so I can only count it as a theory. But still, that max motivation does help out a lot, so thank you for that.

Right now though, my concern is the bug on the multiplier cheat, if you can look through my previous messages and screenshots, but as a stopgap, I just mentally calculate the added stats add them via CE for now.

Probably my final contribution to the table. Here's one more cheat table entry.

Basically +1 additional stat for doing X training.
Like how Zuums get +1 to Lif when doing the Run training. Jells get +1 def in Endure.
Value "16383" is basically +1 to all drills and Errantries except for Kawrea. I can't be bothered to find +1 for every drill and errantry.

is this only for version 1.0? The game got updated December 10th on steam which means that version 1.0 cheat tables no longer work. It was an update to fix a crash so it's um... kinda an important update to have.


edit:okay it still works with the update you just have to do something to make the game update information. I have noticedgiving it an item seems to update the table. Changing areas (farm to town or town to farm) doesn't work.

[Enferno33]

Thanks a lot for all the work everyone, for the most part it does work (Monster Rancher 2).

May I please ask for a small suggestion if it's possible? I've tried several times to find / figure out the battle clock with no luck. Is it possible to have a "Slow/Freeze" for the battle clock so that the monsters can actually fight to the death (KO).

As of January 24, 2022, it has been updated to 1.0.0.2 and will not work with the CT on the top page of this thread.

is there a way to translate this easily?

[fxvll]

anyone have the updated version for v 1.0.0.2?

[S7R0NG3R]

attached a table that further breaks down the current monster's hidden abilities (aka battle specials)

current tables at time of posting just have its address type in bytes, which makes it harder to find/change abilities individually

EDIT: see next post, i put it the table that was here in that one

[S7R0NG3R]

found the addresses associated with the trainer name AOB, and the current active monster's training record

• name AOB is found under MF2
• training record addresses are found under: MF2 > Monster Data > Training Record

this table combines both aanpsx and hakuman tables

i also cleaned some stuff up a bit to make it easier for me to use, as well as added Monsters 7-14 in the Combine Result table

[pumnorahat]

Update please it not work anymore

[username69]

Can confirm that the MF 1 table does not work

To add, recalculating the values doesn't work. I can search the files and find them (somewhat) via memory scanning, but the values don't change. Using the table, putting the values in and recalculating doesn't work either. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or an update broke it.
