Chao general
This page lists all of the basic, general, or miscellanous chao offsets.
Basics
Name
| Offset (hex) | 0x12 |
|---|---|
| Offset (decimal) | 18 |
| Data type | String (7 chars) |
The name of the chao. See the Chao Name Encoding page for more information.
Chao garden
| Offset (hex) | 0x81 |
|---|---|
| Offset (decimal) | 129 |
| Data type | Byte (SADXChaoGarden enum or SA2BChaoGarden enum) |
A value representing the chao garden that the chao currently resides in. See the SADXChaoGarden enum or SA2BChaoGarden enum (depending on the game) for more information.
Happiness
| Offset (hex) | 0x82 |
|---|---|
| Offset (decimal) | 130 |
| Data type | Signed byte |
A value from -100 to +100 representing the chao's happiness. In SADX, a chao must have over 30 happiness in order to reincarnate, and over 50 happiness in order to transform into a Chaos chao. In SA2B, a chao must have over 50 happiness in order to reincarnate, and over 80 happiness in order to transform into a Chaos chao.
Reset trigger
| Offset (hex) | 0x438 |
|---|---|
| Offset (decimal) | 1080 |
| Data type | Boolean |
A boolean value which triggers an immediate reset of the chao when set to false. This value is normally set to true, but when it is changed to false, the chao is instantly reinitialised to a child state based on its current DNA settings; the value then also changes back to true automatically.
Life
Remaining lifespan 1
| Offset (hex) | 0x8A |
|---|---|
| Offset (decimal) | 138 |
| Data type | Short |
A value from 0-9,999 representing the chao's remaining lifespan. This normally starts off around 3,800 (varying per chao), and only counts down when the chao is an adult. When this value reaches 0, the chao dies or reincarnates. This value cannot increase beyond the value of "Remaining lifespan 2" (see below).
Remaining lifespan 2
| Offset (hex) | 0x8C |
|---|---|
| Offset (decimal) | 140 |
| Data type | Short |
A value from 0-9,999 representing the chao's remaining lifespan. This normally starts off around 3,800 (varying per chao), and only counts down when the chao is an adult. When this value reaches 0, the chao dies or reincarnates.
Reincarnations
| Offset (hex) | 0x8E |
|---|---|
| Offset (decimal) | 142 |
| Data type | Short |
A value representing the chao's total number of reincarnations. A chao needs to have had at least two reincarnations in order to transform into a Chaos chao.
Learnt abilities
SADX animal behaviours
| Offset (hex) | 0x4E0 |
|---|---|
| Offset (decimal) | 1248 |
| Data type | Short (SADXAnimalFlags enum) |
A value representing the SADX animal behaviours that the chao has learnt. This is a flag field, where every bit in the value represents a different animal behaviour as a boolean value. See the SADXAnimalFlags enum for more information.
Note that both SADX and SA2B store this data, as it is retained when transferring the chao between games.
In SADX, a chao must have learnt every SADX animal behaviour in order to transform into a Chaos chao.
SA2B animal behaviours
| Offset (hex) | 0x118 |
|---|---|
| Offset (decimal) | 280 |
| Data type | Short (SA2BAnimalFlags enum) |
A value representing the SA2B animal behaviours that the chao has learnt. This is a flag field, where every bit in the value represents a different animal behaviour as a boolean value. See the SADXAnimalFlags enum for more information.
Note that both SADX and SA2B store this data, as it is retained when transferring the chao between games.
In SA2B, a chao must have learnt every SA2B animal behaviour in order to transform into a Chaos chao.
SA2B classroom skills
| Offset (hex) | 0x160 |
|---|---|
| Offset (decimal) | 352 |
| Data type | Int (ClassroomLessonFlags enum) |
A value representing the SA2B classroom skills that the chao has learnt. This is a flag field, where every bit in the value represents a different lesson as a boolean value. See the ClassroomLessonFlags enum for more information.
Note that both SADX and SA2B store this data, as it is retained when transferring the chao between games.
SA2B toys
| Offset (hex) | 0x164 |
|---|---|
| Offset (decimal) | 356 |
| Data type | Short (ToyFlags enum) |
A value representing the SA2B animal behaviours that the chao has learnt. This is a flag field, where every bit in the value represents a different animal behaviour as a boolean value. See the ToyFlags enum for more information.
Note that both SADX and SA2B store this data, as it is retained when transferring the chao between games.
