invalid read?

andoringo · 06-09-2020, 07:07 AM #1

i'm working on a mod for super smash bros. melee, and whenever i go to play as captain falcon (the latest character who's moveset i've changed) i get a load of "invalid read" errors, such as:
invalid read from 0x000000001, PC = 0x80380320
invalid read from 0x000000001, PC = 0x80380328
invalid read from 0x000007a20, PC = 0x80380320
invalid read from 0x000000001, PC = 0x80380328
this has happened before and it sucked because i had to reprogram the character that caused it before, but i'm not prepared to do that again as it took hours. what does this mean, and how can i fix it so i don't have to completely re-do the mod for captain falcon?

Without knowing what changes this mod made more specifically, I don't think it's possible to say why you are getting that error.

i'm using a tool called crazy hand to edit character movesets, like i said it has happened before but i couldn't pin point what was causing the errors. i'm 100% sure it's something to do with captain falcon as every other character works just fine. is there anything at all i can do/use to find what the invalid read means?

It means that the game's code tried to read from an invalid memory address. The memory address it tried to read from, and the address of the code that was being executed, are both shown in the error message.

do you have any idea how to find the memory address in crazy hand? the only thing that looks relatively similar is the offset (seen in attachment)

edit: not sure if the attachment is even there, i added one to this reply but i can't see it anywhere
