Thanks for your support on LIOS Editor.
Some updates:
I updated a new version, no longer in beta, since seems it works fine  :mrgreen:.
I made some bugfixing, and some few changes on the equipment selection (now you get a proper list depending on the slot your are intending to change). And if you have any ideas to improve the program, let me know on this post.

StrategicMishap: Thanks for pointing the JP error, in this version I got it fixed. And about the Dark Knight two movement skills, its because the Dark Knight gets different movement skill depending on the character's gender (you get move +3 if your character is female and jump +3 if your character is male).

So for programming ease you see them both, but only get one, this is working as intended. About the messing with jobs, sometimes you get wrong sprites on the character roster screen but gets corrected in battlefield. This happens when you mess a lot with your savefiles  :lol:.

bmroger2: Thanks for testing out on iPad, glad it works for that version too!.
OnionSquire: Glad to hear you got it working also on an older version, Thanks!

As promised, I just released the program (on a different topic on this forum), so you can try it out, and tell me what you find out, and if you get your modifications. You can help me by posting there, if you get a successful result, and on which version and device you are trying out.

I'm not terribly sure where it should be posted, but I'd love to help debug it.
Any ideas on what kind of bugs we should be on the look out for?


Well for bugs try to make changes to your characters and try out everything in the program, and if you don't get the desired result (or the program crashes) you can post it on the topic i just made for the program. It would be very helpful if you can pin where you did get an error, that would make me find the problem more quickly.

LIOS Editor version 1.0.0

LIOS Editor is a program I made with the source code of Lion Editor by fixing the code to enable edition of save files on an IOS device for Final Fantasy Tactics: WotL version 1.1.2 (you don't need jailbreak to hack the file!).

LIOS Editor can modify data of a FFTSAVE.BIN file from an iPhone/iPad/iPod (any version of FFT: WotL)
* Read BIN files directly (you don't have to rename your save file, also is worth saying: don't use this program for PSP files, its for IOS only!).
* Make modification to characters (Stats, Abilities, Equipment, Gender, Zodiac, Job JPs) same as Lion Editor.
* Select from multiple game files.

WARNING: Proceed with caution when making modifications, and remember to always keep a backup of your savefile!.

If you want to help improve the program or got any problem or bugs by using LIOS Editor, please post them on this topic. A good use would be to make small changes on your savefile and check if everything is fine before you continue editing/playing, so you can notice if you got any undesirable changes so you can post them here.

HOW TO USE:

You will need:
a) An explorer to read and write files from iPhone/iPad/iPod to PC (example: iExplorer, iFunBox)
b) A valid IOS save file (You need a save file on the world map, after the first battle on Chapter 1).

Step 1: (Skip to step 3 if you already have iExplorer or another program)
Download necessary explorer. I use iExplorer from Macroplant is free* and you don't need jailbreak.

Step 2:
Connect your IOS device to your computer and open up iExplorer or the program of your choice. (If you downloaded iExplorer, choose "Continue in Demo mode", you don't need to buy the program to modify your save file).


Step 3:
Go to the "apps" folder and search for the folder or app "FFTWotL". Go inside the "Documents" folder, and extract the "FFTSAVE.BIN" file to your PC.


Step 4 (BACKUP):
Create a folder an put inside a copy of your FFTSAVE.BIN file, remember to keep this file in case your save file goes corrupted.

Step 5:
Open the LIOS Editor and click on "Open", navigate through your PC to find your FFTSAVE.BIN file.


Step 6:
Choose your modifications, remember to do some logic changes so you don't mess up your save file a lot. A good practice would be to make small modifications (maybe to one or three characters) and see if you get the desired results. If you find any bug or problem please post on this topic so I can lookup for the solution.

Step 7:
Click on SAVE when you are done.
Navigate to the modified FFTSAVE.BIN file and drag and drop it on the "Documents" folder in iExplorer or your IOS explorer program, which will ask if you want to replace your file in your IOS device with the one modified. Click "Ok" to overwrite, disconnect your device and go to the FFT App.


Step 8: (Enjoy!)
Choose continue, if you are on your main menu, and choose your modified game file*.
Or if you are on the map menu, choose from the menu "Data" then "Load" and choose your modified game file.
Enjoy your game!.

* You may get a popup asking if you want to resume your play, please touch "Cancel" to proceed to the Load Screen.

Hello again everyone!

First of all, thank you for your support, that really encourage me to finish the editor.
Now for the updates...  :mrgreen:
You wont believe me, but it is almost done, probably I'm going to release a beta version today for everyone who want to try it out and help me debug it.

With the release of the first beta you can:
* Read BIN files directly (you don't have to rename your save file, also is worth saying: don't use this program for PSP files, its for IOS only!).
* Make modification to characters (Stats, Abilities, Equipment, Gender, Zodiac, Job JPs) same as Lion Editor.
* Select from multiple game files (the 15 avalible ones).

Things I probably wont do with future updates: Chronicle and Options modifications.
Things to do:
*Bugfixes
*Inventory and War Funds modifications

Sadly I just have the version 1.1.2 (iPhone) for testing, so I'm not sure if it will work with the iPad version or older versions (But I don't it will be a problem). Also, remember to always, ALWAYS have a backup of your original file.

Finally, I want to ask: Where is more wisely to upload my project? (Do I use a hosting site like MediaFire? or Do I attach it to the forums, etc?). Thanks!  ;)

Meanwhile, I'll leave you with another sneak peak:

Hello, a little update, so I was saying im working on a temporary custom Lion Editor for IOS (Im calling LIOS Editor heh). And finally got it working, of course, theres a lot of debugging i need to do. So far Im able to read the BIN file and modify any character values and get no error on my iPhone when updating again (all this with FFT version 1.1.2 for iPhone and no jailbreak!).




I hope it helps!

Hello everyone, just a little intro:

I've been fan of FFT since i was on high school and I been playing with two of my best friends since, so far we call ourselves the shrine knights. We got ourselves back then a gameshark and we played a lot modifying the game and make multiplayer matches on PSX, fun times.

Anyway, what have to do with hacking? Well since the release of WotL on IOS I have enjoyed this game once more. And of course, since I loved hacking thing I tried using the Lion Editor to poke around with my save files, and also got sad when I found I updated the app and the lion editor didnt work anymore.

BUT, that didnt stop me, and went so far to look around the hex values on the save file, and found out I could modify these values directly and see the changes on my iPhone (maxing gil, changing jobs, abilities, etc), even on version 1.1.2, and all that without jailbreak.

I did a lot of trial and error, I found Lion Editor make some unnecessary changes on the BIN file that gets corrupted and then you get the unreadable save file on IOS. The problem with direct hex editing is very tiring lookup for each value you want and make changes. Luckly I know programming, and I could make a little program for this editing, the thing is I dont know if its worth the time to make it, so I came here, to ask if you already know a program or think is a good idea?

Thanks for your reading, and sorry for the bad english, is not my native language.
