Post yours.

I no shut up, shut up you!

I din't check you in the last 2 days.

I am sad.

Cheer me up?

....#&@*(#& jerk's.

As i can't decide to find it myself, you will choose what kind of storyline i chose, make sure to comment.  

Edit, this is the only help il ask people, i know you can't always choose for me.

What have algus done ?

Hes a blonde alma !

Alright, il try to start this. (/balls)

I want everyone here to post something they know, just a little, about a subject, and il add it, to make a super-post/faq thingy. Feel free to add anything about FFT hacking, and sugestions for the list.

Links are accepted.


----------------------------------------------------------------
How to get started
 - Get the following programs :
* A Playstation emulor of your choice
* Cd mage
* FFT Patcher
* A FFT iso (note ; no one is allowed to tell you where to find one, upload it from your ps2, or download it illegaly)

Event editing
 - When you edit event text only (Event compiler), afther you compile and import, you can load a savestates to see the changes, or a game from your Memory card.
 - When you change ENTD, afther you create new files and import, you can ONLY use a game from a memory card to see the changes.
 - To create a dialog, you have to use this form : (May be wrong)

DisplayMessage(x10,x91,x01,x00,x01,x00,x00,-00004,+00000,+00000,x10) The x91 here means that this is the first unit to talk, and the x01 means that it is the first messaget to be loaded.
WaitForInstruction(r0100) Obligatory afther each step.
DisplayMessage(x10,x92,x02,x00,x01,x00,x00,+00008,+00016,+00000,x12)
WaitForInstruction(r0100)
CloseDialog(r0103000000) Make ''unit 1'' say ''Message 3''
WaitForInstruction(r0100)
CloseDialog(r0204000000) Make ''unit 2'' say ''Message 4''
WaitForInstruction(r0100)
CloseDialog(r0105000000) Make ''unit 1'' say ''Message 5''
Wait(00008)

Money dragons.
They suck

I now think the event at igros is highly harcoded for the figures to stay on their effing chairs... i tried to remove them all exept Ramza (well, make them standing) using the event compiler. I've succeded, but there is still a lot of glitches that interresed me, though, like this one.

Anyone can tell me why this happened ?

I knew it, you clog tha interwebs !

Warning- big image.

Post the best things you see in the chat...sometimes its worth it.
And for newer members to know the inside jokes.

In a spam topic, go.

Call for power
Revenges on the gods.

  My son...
Place the beoulve name high in your hearth, and seek power, for it is the only thing that can make you survive... friends are no friends, they are tools you should use to become stronger and rule over all. I could't succeed because of my illness, but look how strong you've become! Make me proud of you.

And if you ever come over to god, smack him for me... he made me die...

In this pacth, Ramza is the main antagonist...and you play as him! People are good, and you're the bad guy ! There will be some major plot twist accordingdly to this.

Apetisers :

Afther chapter 2, Algus will be your friend, Delita your mortal enemy.
There will be a good and evil set, one focus on brave, the other on faith  !
Major skill, class, and more revamp. (Good vs Evil, of course)
Most battle will be, focusing on Low hp/high attack power versus Mass enemy/small attack power.
Event editing, possible changes depending on what happens.
New sprites, new story, new blablabla...


I finnaly got rid of 90% of my problems (Using Cdmage unblocked me) and ready to make something nice ! I just need to finish the story in my head, play around with the event editor (Il get the hang of it soon...) and do a lot of text changes !

Il also look at the maps and try some changes, see if i can change it (my dream!) The story is mostly put out, i just need some fillers (explanation for some battles...) and to do the major changes : to be honest, i did almost nothing right now.


I am looking for partners, notably for :

Balance  - I tend to unbalance...
Sprites - Always usefull, and i don't like doing them.
High-tech help - I mean, anyone pro with events or so can really help.

This was my announcement, screens comming asap.

Sincerely, ive been trying to ''hack'' since some time, but i always run in some problems. I think things should be more clear, like making a very precise tutorial with all steps, examples and such.

I mean, i currently have 4 folders related to fft hacking, and its pretty much : Emulator, data, data, data, and ive got no idea how to implement back and such.

I mean, i can't post a topic for each of my questions, and i would like teamviewer support from someone that could help me out, or even msn support, whatever.

I am willing to write a bit of the tutorial myself...once i get the hang of it.

Suggesting particuly :
- How do i play FFT ?
  - Download a image, we won't tell you how to get it because its     illegal if you don't own the Cd
  - Or copy it from your Playstation 1. (i hear that... no idea how)
  - Where and how do i set up my emulator ?

- How do i edit sprites?
 - How to see sprites.
 - How to get the .bmp of sprites and change it (I can't find how to do it on this site)
 - Complete example with a basic sprites (ex turn Olivela hair dark) in steps. (I know there is a how to, but there is not example)

- How do i edit events ?
 - Discovery on events/list of things known.
 - How to implement back the changes ?
 - Complete example by changing a name or so in the first scene.

- What is Hex ?
 
You know, very precise and all that stuff, because im completly lost right now, i have no idea where to put back Test.evt once i made my changes.... and im sure many people stop because of that.


So maintly, it would be fun to have either a mega tutorial, or people helping out with stuff like teamviewer or screenshare.


Thanks.

Is there anyway to skip the intro when i make changes ?

I tried to make simple change to see if i understood correctly.
I tried changing my normal equipement to have incredible stats, loaded a game, and it din't work. I had to create a new game for the effects to work.
Its very long, a new game.... can i skip the intro / make it from saved files ?

Im trying to make a simple pacth right now, but all my access to SCUS_942.21 from fftpacther is denied, and i wonder what to do.

Yes i am new here, and probably forgot something.

Direct link cause the image is big.

So, hi, hacking community.

I starting to hack one of my favorite game : Super mario world, but then i asked myself if it was possible to hack Final fantasy tactic, THE game i really wanted to edit. I already got my ideas for a hack, but il wait a bit until i can find my way in hacking it (still need the primary thing...you know, the illegal one) and beacause of school and such.

As a hacker, im not into computer, but i got great ideas, and when i discover something, its really big and because i was playing with the folders (i plan to play with the maps bytes : i really want to try and recreate a flat plain, i think its not been done yet, true ?)

Anyway, im really happy to have found this community, and well, see ya all.
