Status screen load

[Mettyk25jigsaw]

Hi Everyone.

I have been trying to locate the spot in my rom where the status screen gets loaded after pressing R on pause map, I am wanting to alter the speed the status screen takes to load to make it take about a second longer, maybe 2 seconds. This may seem crazy why I would want to do this, but there is a good reason. :grin:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Depends what your goal is. If you just want it to take longer to fade, here's where that happens:
fading out:

Code Select Expand

However, I'm assuming you don't just want it to literally fade slower, so in that case you would want to change how it handles the transition itself. My guess is you want more time to load in data, in which case you would want to hijack the 'loading equip screen' routine and when you're done you can let it fade in like normal.
