1.5.0 - Animal Crossing: New Horizons Datamine

This page contains some 1.5.0 related datamining updates (mostly from the executable itself).

Special thanks to @_Ninji for their scripts and tools which saved me a tremendous amount of time and energy getting everything set up!

Halloween DIYs

If the villager is making a Halloween DIY that you have already learned, there is a 70% chance of receiving 5x orange pumpkins, and 30% chance of receiving 1x candy. You will not get the DIY card again.

The reward is determined when you first talk to the villager.

Pumpkins

Internally, pumpkins are referred to as both Squash and Pumpkin.

Flags

The brief version:

• Each day you water your pumpkin plants results in one more pumpkin to harvest when the plant becomes fully grown (up to 3 max).
• Pumpkins should function the same as flowers for watering can durability.
• There is no visitor bonus for pumpkins.
• There is no penalty for digging up and relocating pumpkins.

The gory details:

The FreeParam flags for pumpkin plants are as follows:

[00000000] [00000000] [0000000H] [XXXYYYYY]
H = hydration flag (HF), 0 or 1
X = growth counter (GC), 3 bits but capped at 2
Y = watering counter (WC), 5 bits but capped at 20

Pumpkins share a few similarities with flowers, notably:

• the watering counter is capped at 20
• the hydration flag is set to the tile’s hydration state when the pumpkin is dug up, and overrides the tile’s hydration state when planted

There is also code to reset the watering counter when the pumpkin is dug up, but is currently not used.

When a fully grown pumpkin plant (stage 3) is picked, pumpkins of the same color as the plant are obtained. The number of pumpkins is equal to the growth counter plus one.

During GrowUp, if the pumpkin plant is not yet fully grown, and it is not on the beach,

• if the tile the pumpkin plant is on is wet, the game increments the watering counter; and
• the game sets the growth counter to be equal to the watering counter, capped at 2, then clears the watering counter. The watering counter is later on set to be equal to the growth counter before the game is saved.

If the pumpkin plant is fully grown, its flags are unchanged during GrowUp.

Pumpkin Growth Stages

The brief version:

• Pumpkin plants from pumpkin starts have a 70% chance of being orange, and 10% chance of being yellow/green/white, rolled the day they become fully grown.
• Pumpkin plants from pumpkins are always the same color as the original pumpkin.
• Like flowers, there are four stages. Like flowers, picking the plant reverts the pumpkin to its second stage.
• Once a pumpkin plant produces pumpkins, the color is fixed.

The gory details:

Planting pumpkin starts bought from Nook’s Cranny or Leif results in a PltVgtSquash0. These grow up each day into PltVgtSquash1, and then PltVgtSquash2.

PltVgtSquash2 has a 70% chance of growing up into a PltVgtSquash3Orange, and a 10% chance each of growing up into PltVgtSquash3Yellow, PltVgtSquash3Green, or PltVgtSquash3White.

Planting a [Color] pumpkin will result in PltVgtSquash0[Color]. These grow up each day into PltVgtSquash1[Color], PltVgtSquash2[Color], and then back into PltVgtSquash3[Color].

Picking a PltVgtSquash3[Color] pumpkin plant will revert it into a PltVgtSquash1[Color] plant.

Processing Order

During GrowUp, pumpkins are processed after bushes and before weeds.

Seasonality

Pumpkin planting and growth do not care about the date; they grow year-round.

Friendship Return Gifts

There are no changes to the return gift logic in the game executable, and only minor changes in EventFlow (special dialogue for gifting a pumpkin, but it’s still treated as an edible gift like fruits – a 1 friendship point gift).

(Unused?) Halloween Reward Logic

1.5.0 added code for handling EventFlowActionDecideEventReward('cHalloweenReward'), which does not appear to be used in the EventFlow files at the moment.

pool = empty item pool
if cPlayer:GetHalloweenRag not set -> add 0x1d79 (RugSquareHalloweenL00) to pool
if cPlayer:GetHalloweenWallPaper not set -> add 0x33a8 (RoomTexWallHalloween00) to pool
if cPlayer:GetHalloweenFloor not set -> add 0x33a9 (RoomTexFloorHalloween00) to pool
if cPlayer:GetHalloweenStickRecipe not set -> add 0x33b5 (ToolStickHalloween) to pool
if cPlayer:GetHalloweenGarland not set -> add 0x33a6 (FtrHwnDecorationWall) to pool
if cPlayer:GetHalloweenTableSetting not set -> add 0x33a7 (FtrHwnTablesetting) to pool
if cPlayer:GetHalloweenBag not set -> add 0x32d7 (BagBackpackHalloween0) to pool

if pool is empty:
    - 7% 0x33a6 (FtrHwnDecorationWall)
    - 6% 0x33a7 (FtrHwnTablesetting)
    - 11% 0x11af (SquashGreen) x4
    - 10% 0x11ae (SquashYellow) x4
    - 10% 0x11b0 (SquashWhite) x4
    - 56% 0x11ad (SquashOrange) x4
otherwise:
	- pick item without catalogue constraint
	- do some special handling for 0x33b5 (ToolStickHalloween)
