Is it possible to add code instead of just pasting it?
Context: I want a game to load a character into a cutscene but there are only 2 slots and all characters loaded end with 4 FF'S so if I insert another character before those FF the game should load another character

I think he wants to rewrite the game.
It wants to put 2 characters in the 2 byte code slot where the character is. Smile

For better explanation; Write the current code range and the code to be added and ask for help.
However, try the possibilities first, look for a solution according to the result.

The characters are loaded before the FF'S,so instead of replacing existing characters I would like to add another one:(01 00 XX 00 00 is a character) so the area is like this:
01 00 01 00 00(1st character) 01 00 02 00 00(2nd character) then there are four FF's so FF FF FF FF

I would expect the whole code to be 4 bytes or 8 bytes, but you are showing 5 byte code blocks (9 bytes if you include the FFs).

Adding characters is difficult, but duplicating characters is more logical.

To insert a character you need to take the block of code (This can often be a code block of 16,32,64 or 128+ bytes) and paste it into the same block size starting at the end of that block. This can drag the code block you pasted into the error.

Maybe playing around with the code will provide a solution.
For example, "01" may be the number of characters at the beginning of the code you gave, making it "02" or "05" may increase the number of characters. Or similar code can be manipulated. Adding a new block (5 bytes or whatever) may cause the code in the field to be added to error.

As a result, we are not the developers of the game, you should test your ideas yourself by trial and error method.

I believe the 01 at the beginning says what kind of model is being loaded,1 is character while 2 is npcs and my bad the code is 8 byte not 5.

Yeah it doesn't add anything if i modify the first value it does nothing but of course if i change the 3rd value which is the id for the character it change the already loaded characters
