Bypass Unique Item Limit 1 drop per game.
Easily done with txt edit (fill nolimit column with 1's), but if you have some reason to bypass this check.

Code: Select all

There's more than one edit to apply to get rid of this. Don't remember how many exactly as I've got rid of all of them, but you basically need to get rid of every checks done on pGame+0x1B24
This is an array of 512 bytes. The game uses one bit for every unique item, resulting in 4096 available bits (this is one of the 2 things that limits unique items to 4096 records. The other limiting factor is in the savefile's read/write code)

This works with a single edit.
Test in cube.. made 3 frostwinds and 3 heavenly garbs - no rares.

Backported from another version because 1.13c misbehaves on memory breaks to this code.

This means you have patched the code in the cube outputs generation. Going from memory, there's another one in the code for drops, gambling perhaps, etc.
Also, if you're going to get rid of this feature, you might as well get rid of all the code that uses pGame+0x1B24. This will give you 512 bytes of repurposable data in pGame, which is pretty nice.
If you want to keep the feature, get the extra space AND get rid of the limit on unique items, you can convert pGame+0x1B24 into a pointer to an array. The size of this array would be allocated based on number of records in uniqueitems.txt

Means I have more testing to do ...
thanks

Edit:

-Tested Item Drops
2 skull splitters
2 manald heals
2 dark clan crusher cudgels
2 steelgoad voulge

-Tested Gamble screen
3 shadowfangs from Elzix

It works..

I can see your point of replacing all references to free up some space in pGame.
