Pride's ASM Thread (MP Switch overflow damages HP)

[Pride]

While I haven't updated my .xml in a while, the one in there has most of my hacks in it. just put it in the same folder FFTorgASM

[Pride]

Requested by Eternal

Formula 28 (Steal Exp) becomes (100 - Target Faith) * (MA * Y)

Ugly coding for the custom part but I was lazy.

[Pride]

Added:

Martial Arts boost by 25% instead of 50%

[LastingDawn]

How does Martial Arts work exactly? Does it look at Item 00, or does it look at something a bit more indepth to activate?

[Pride]

spoiler: Martial Arts

So basically it loads the attackers weapon, branches if they have a weapon, then checks to see if they have the martial arts support. There are two different martial sections as well. One for weapon attacks and another for the punch art formula, steal, and a few others. 

[LastingDawn]

Hmm, why would it look at Martial Arts for any kind of weapon? But this does raise a question... is it possible to switch say...

"Martial Arts" into "Master Spearman" granting that bonus of 3/2 to someone equipped with a spear?

[Pride]

Checking that way is the fastest way to see if the attacker is empty handed.

I'd have to jump to a new section but its possible... If you want to request it for Merc

[LastingDawn]

Hmm, since it can only be one weapon type I would really have to think hard on what I would want it to be, needless to say it would still Have to boost those specific Monk formulas?

EDIT: Can this also apply to an Armor type? For instance...

"Manueverability" - Increase the Attack command by 20% only as long as Clothing is worn.

[Pride]

Well a few of the supports can be disabled if you want to spread it around a bit and a two iirc that are completely blank. And yes, it could be spread to an armor type.

[Pride]

Decided to have a little fun...

Wall becomes "Mist" or MP Regen
This is intended to be used with FFMaster's Wall asm to make the ai attack Wall'd units. So check out his thread for it. The MP Regen recovers 1/4 of Max MP after each turn. I thought it was better then 1/8 like normal Regen, if people oppose or want it I'll post the byte change for it. If you have both "Mist" and Regen, the HP Recovery will be shown and not the MP but the regeneration for both still occurs.

A request: formula 5E (Dmg_((MA+Y)/2*MA) #Hit_(X+1) 6.25% Status to use PA instead of MA, please. :3

[Pride]

PA + Y / 2 * PA? PA * (WP + Y)? PA * Y? Or something else entirely?

[Eternal]

(PA+Y)/2*PA, Hit_(X+1)

Basically, just replace the MA portions of it with PA if that's not too much trouble.

[Dome]

(PA+Y)/2*PA, Hit_(X+1)

Basically, just replace the MA portions of it with PA if that's not too much trouble.

A random hits PA attack...nice

[Pride]

Request filled. Formula 5E becomes (PA + Y) / 2 * PA Hit_(1 + X)

I'll update my .xml probably after I get off work or tomorrow morning.

[Shade]

5 formula requests:
1E to be Dmg_((WP+Y)*MA/2) #Hit(Rdm{1,X})
1F to be Dmg_((WP+Y)*PA/2) #Hit(Rdm{1,X})
5A to be Dmg_(MA*(WP+Y))
5B to be Hit_F(MA+WP+X)%
42 to be Dmg_(PA*(WP+Y) DmgCas_(PA*(WP+Y)/X)   (42 with with your formula fix too)

[LastingDawn]

That's a bit much, don't you think? At least give it to him one by one, don't be so pushy...

Having said that... I know I asked for this a long time ago but I don't know if it was ever accomplished.

To turn 4E Dmg MA * Y, into Dmg MA * Y (MA+X%).

Sorry if this is badgering you.

[Shade]

That's a bit much, don't you think? At least give it to him one by one, don't be so pushy...

I know.

Pride sorry for the amount, you don't have to do all of them in the row, I am not in a big rush for them.

[Pickle Girl Fanboy]

A random hits PA attack...nice

Monk should totally have a random hits at % of normal damage.

[Pride]

5 formula requests:
1E to be Dmg_((WP+Y)*MA/2) #Hit(Rdm{1,X})
1F to be Dmg_((WP+Y)*PA/2) #Hit(Rdm{1,X})
5A to be Dmg_(MA*(WP+Y))
5B to be Hit_F(MA+WP+X)%
42 to be Dmg_(PA*(WP+Y) DmgCas_(PA*(WP+Y)/X)   (42 with with your formula fix too)

I have this already documented in my thread but I can update my .xml to include a formula 42 that uses PA * WP + Y.

All in all pretty easy but I have a few questions....

For the formulas that take MA over PA... Do you want them to also take magical evasion, shell, Magic Defense Up, etc. rather then Attack Up, Defense Up, Protect, etc.

And I forgot about your request LD. I'll do it before I begin on any of Shade's.
