Table of Contents

If you want to speed up some of the common duel animations, such as drawing cards from the deck, shuffling the deck, tossing coins, and the initial placing of the Prize cards, then read below.

If there are other animations you want to change, a lot of them are labeled in src/data/duel/animations/duel_animations.asm. If the anim ID is something like SPRITE_ANIM_167, then the animation data can be found by searching the source files for AnimData167.

Contents

  1. Drawing Cards
  2. Shuffling Decks
  3. Coin Toss
  4. Placing Prizes

1. Drawing Cards

Open src/data/duel/animations/anims3.asm and change each 6 in the second columns of AnimData163, AnimData164, and AnimData165 to a 4.

2. Shuffling Decks

Still in src/data/duel/animations/anims3.asm, change each 3 (and the single 4) in the second columns of AnimData159, AnimData160, and AnimData161 to a 2.

3. Coin Toss

The coin toss animations are also found in src/data/duel/animations/anims3.asm. If you speed up the tossing of the coin without altering the idle spinning at the start, then the animation will look odd. So let's start by changing each 4 in the second column of AnimData167 to a 3.

Idle Spin

AnimData167::
	frame_table AnimFrameTable79
-	frame_data 0, 4, 0, 0
-	frame_data 1, 4, 0, 0
-	frame_data 2, 4, 0, 0
-	frame_data 3, 4, 0, 0
-	frame_data 4, 4, 0, 0
-	frame_data 5, 4, 0, 0
-	frame_data 2, 4, 0, 0
-	frame_data 6, 4, 0, 0
+	frame_data 0, 3, 0, 0
+	frame_data 1, 3, 0, 0
+	frame_data 2, 3, 0, 0
+	frame_data 3, 3, 0, 0
+	frame_data 4, 3, 0, 0
+	frame_data 5, 3, 0, 0
+	frame_data 2, 3, 0, 0
+	frame_data 6, 3, 0, 0
	frame_data 0, 0, 0, 0

Then, replace each 2 in the second columns of AnimData168 and AnimData169 with a 1.

4. Placing Prizes

The animation for the placing of Prize cards at the start of the duel is handled a little differently than the previous examples. There's simply a delay in frames between drawing each sprite, so open src/engine/duel/core.asm, find the HandleDuelSetup function, and change the delay from 20 frames to 11. (After a lot of tweaking, I found that 10 was too fast but 12 seemed too slow.)

 HandleDuelSetup:
 	...
 .place_prize
-	ld b, 20 ; frames to delay
+	ld b, 11 ; frames to delay
 .loop_delay
 	call DoFrame
 	call CheckSkipDelayAllowed
