[FF7] Chocobo Betting

<< < (2/5) > >>

ff7man:
I was playing with https://github.com/ergonomy-joe/ff7-coaster to try and get an understanding of how it works.

There appears to be remnants of code to run the chocobo game as well.

https://github.com/ergonomy-joe/ff7-coaster/blob/4c9a90abe7073406c0eae0f05e84ea3b80c4cc84/NEWFF7/initpath.cpp#L272
https://github.com/ergonomy-joe/ff7-coaster/blob/4c9a90abe7073406c0eae0f05e84ea3b80c4cc84/CoasterMain.cpp#L14

AFAIK he still hasn't released the full source for coaster. Ff7lib.lib is a binary with parts he reverse engineered. I'm not quite sure why there's drama around this file. Super Mario 64 and Zelda OOT both have code on github. The code in ff7lib.lib is likely available from the 1.02 patch eidos released and you will still need assets from coaster.lgp to be able to play the game.

Anyways I tried compiling his code with vs2022 but after adding legacy_stdio_definitions.lib as a linker input, I quickly got an error saying ff7lib.lib has symbols that need to be updated. Which I would need source to do. So I downloaded a copy of vs2008 trial and the directx5sdk. After updating the project configuration to point to my extracted dx5 folder for both inc and lib I got it to compile. Running this compiled binary has been a different beast. When run it opens ff7config.exe, on close it changes the resolution and crashes silently. I added a bunch of print statements and it gets to calling a function in ff7lib.lib that initializes directx, so I really have no idea why it crashed. Pretty sure it has the reg keys its looking for. I added debug messages to the initpath file and it has updated paths to where my install is. I tried ffnx, aali's driver, and even used qemu to emulate a windows 98 computer. Windows 98 doesn't support visual studio 2008. Perhaps with 2005? When the project is compiled with 2005, music plays, but it pagefaults and shows a garbled screen. If anyone has been able to get his project to run I would be interested to know what magic I'm missing.

I found this project https://github.com/FFT-Hackers/FF7-Disassembly where they have a json blob that can be imported into ida with this plugin https://github.com/FFT-Hackers/IDA-Tools to give a bunch of functions names. It adds some names to sub772357 (the sub we broke on when we were writing chocobo names). You don't see this in the pseudecode, but at the top of the function we are taking 0xA4 bytes (164 bytes = chocobo size in memory) and looping through them. The output from ghidra is actually a lot more readable giving you an idea where you are in the 164 bytes.

I discovered the 20 03 bytes are actually if the chocobo thinks its a long or short course. 20 -> DE when on a long course.

Ok, I found how run speed is generated.

On pc there are the static memory regions:
Pre: e710fc-e71142
Chocobo 1: e71143-e711e6 -> JENNY
Chocobo 2: e711e7-e7128a -> LE
Chocobo 3: e7128b-e7132e -> TIM
Chocobo 4: e7132f-e713d2 -> TOM
Chocobo 5: e713d3-e71476 -> T
Chocobo 6: e71477-e7151a -> SARA
Chocobo 7: e7151b-e715be -> JENNY
Chocobo 8: e715bf-e71662 -> NULL

c0 starts with: [NULLx20]
c8 is is the first part of c2 not c1: 00 0A 00 00 00 1E 00 35 00 20 03 FF FF [NULL-48] 9A 20 E2 0E [NULL-100]

The FFT-Hackers json blog indicated sub_7AE9C0 actually returns a random value. So renamed that function in ghidra.

Top speed is at e711b0, looking at the ghidra code you'll see:

--- Code: ---sVar1 = *(short *)(&DAT_0097a3e0 + (uint)DAT_00dc0af3 * 8);
iVar8 = rand();
(&DAT_00e711b0)[iVar4 * 0x52] = sVar1 + (short)(iVar8 % (int)*(short *)(&DAT_0097a3e2 + (uint)DAT_00dc0af3 * 8));

--- End code ---
At first glance the [iVar4*0x52] was confusing. The value for Top Speed is at e711b0 repeating every 164 bytes.
I believe the psuedocode index is just incorrect as this line would be updating the next chocobos bytes, which doesn't seem right.
Assuming the code index should read [iVar4*0xA4]
The values 97a3e0, 97a3e2, and dc0af3 don't change between chocobos.
And the top speed is randomly generated between a set range.

The run speed value is at e711ae.

--- Code: ---sVar1 = *(short *)(&DAT_0097a3e4 + (uint)DAT_00dc0af3 * 8);
iVar8 = rand();
*(short *)(iVar5 + 0xe711ae) =  sVar1 + (short)(iVar8 % (int)*(short *)(&DAT_0097a3e6 + (uint)DAT_00dc0af3 * 8));

--- End code ---
The values of 97a3e4, 97a3e6, and dc0af3 never change. So run speed is randomly generated between a range.
Using different values from Top Speed.

The raw value for stamina is at e711c4.

--- Code: ---sVar1 = *(short *)(&DAT_0097a3e0 + (uint)DAT_00dc0af3 * 8);
iVar8 = rand();
(&DAT_00e711c4)[iVar4 * 0x29] = (int)sVar1 + iVar8 % 300;
(&DAT_00e711c0)[iVar4 * 0x29] = (&DAT_00e711c4)[iVar4 * 0x29];

--- End code ---
Which uses 97a3e0 and dc0af3. So stamina is randomly generated within a range.

None of these static values are shared anywhere.

Sprinting is at e711a4

--- Code: ---uVar7 = rand();
*(ushort *)(iVar5 + 0xe711a4) = (-(ushort)((uVar7 & 7) != 0) & 0xfffe) + 2;

--- End code ---
Which is randomly set as well.

We already know cooperation and acceleration are statics, and intel is either 32 or 64, but it doesn't impact race outcome. Unless I did something wrong copying bytes.

Shoutout to ghidra for making this output so easy to read over ida.

The jockey pointer is at e711e8.

--- Code: ---iVar4 = DAT_00e719e8 + *(short *)(&DAT_00e711e8 + local_ec * 0xa4) * 0x3c;
...
switch(*(undefined2 *)(local_ec * 0xa4 + 0xe7115e)) {

--- End code ---
e719e8 is after the chocobos with the values 28 E0 4E 0F 23
e7115e is byte 28 -> 0,2,2,3,2,1,1,0

C1: Platinum C2: Bronze C3: Bronze C4: Silver C5: Bronze C6: Gold
Which is the jockey color order. That would have been nice to know earlier.

e7115e is randomly generated

--- Code: ---uVar6 = rand();
uVar2 = (ushort)((int)uVar6 >> 0x1f);
*(ushort *)(iVar5 + 0xe7115e) = (((ushort)uVar6 ^ uVar2) - uVar2 & 3 ^ uVar2) - uVar2;

--- End code ---

There are 4 jockeys:
Case 0 would give 0,0,0; platinum
Case 1 would give 64,64,0; gold
Case 2 would give 64,16,0; bronze... weird
Case 3 would give 0,16,64; silver

I don't know what these values do.

After starting the race, I put a breakpoint when it read a chocobo name and it landed in 6f5b03.
The order on screen is different from the order in memory.
What I believe is happening is depending on the jockey colors the ordering gets altered.

6f5b03 calls 6f564e which has some variables that look similar to the jockey assigned values.

Here's an example

146253 became 412635

I patched the game to only give gold jockeys and the order still got messed up.


--- Code: ---E8 E6 C2 03 00 99 33 C2 2B C2 83 E0 03 33 C2 2B C2 ->
E8 E6 C2 03 00 99 33 C2 2B C2 B8 01 00 00 00 90 90

--- End code ---
Same with platinum jockeys. 01 -> 00

Byte 134 has the correct memory order sometimes.

ff7man:
I ran 1000 races for each class and collected data from each. It should be really helpful in testing anyone's theories without waiting for races to finish.

Order was collected using opencv match template

https://anonfiles.com/X01dzdF9xa/ff7_choco_races_1000_7z

We can get close to the right chocobos, but I'm not sure this is going to be solvable.
 
The point being, with the playstation version I could save state, watch the race, restore state, watch the race again, and get the same end results.
I don't have state saves with PC so I changed the jockey to always be the same and copy all the chocobo bytes, and watch the race.
I then start a new race and overwrite the new chocobo bytes with the old ones and the result is different....
If it's not the jockeys and not the stats assigned to the chocobos then some other randomness must also significantly impact how fast each chocobos runs or what movements they make, and that randomness must get generated when the minigame loads.

On cases where it's wrong a lot of them are when there are sprinters.
Digging through the data I haven't made any good correlations.
I'm guessing it has something to do with a combination of sprinting, intelligence, run speed, and jockey color.

Golds burn more stamina
Golds are better at short courses, plats are better at long
Silvers are pretty close to plats on shorts and golds on longs
Bronzes are garbage

Sprinting makes them change ranking more in this case too.

Which is only very marginally better.

I'm not sure how to add intel or the effect of course on jockey and sprinting

Sorting by intel then run speed gives a pretty good estimate too
