[SM] Changing start save location

[Lunaria]

By using the "skip intro" function in SMILE you start the game from the ship save point... that's all fine and dandy, but I would like to change what area that specific save writes too.

Aka, say I want you spawn from save point ID 09 in maridia area instead, what would one require to do?


(Note: that specific example is NOT what I want to have in my hack.)

Sadi was nice enough to write an ASM file for this.

!Area = #$0000        ;Cra = 0000, Bri = 0001, Nor = 2, WS = 3, Mar = 4, Tou = 5, Cer = 6
!Save = #$0000

that is all, see you next mission topic!
