Final Fantasy Hacktics

I decided to start this topic to gather information of exploration on properties, adressess, routines and the like. I encourage people to upload their findings and I'll add mines first. I don't have the knowledge to write properly about romhacking so I'll expect mistakes and I'm glad to correct from advice of experienced people:


My and Kairetsu findings:


Ability editor

This one needs serious rework because some of the properties are wrongly listed. Anyway I figured out few of them.

Modifier 39 = 0.05x Current target HP
Modifier 3B = 4 ?
Modifier 2A = 0.5x Current User's HP

Offsets

The data sheet was probably outdated so I don't know if someone else figured out these adresses but anyway:

-Under Equipment-

Items (8 bytes)
053FF7A8
053FF83F

Loot (16 bytes)
053FF840
053FFE9F

Abilities? Removes all Active Abilities if 00 (12 bytes)

Unknown Flags by Kairetsu.

He updated the list while he was helping in my mod.

It started as a testing field for a person beginning to learn about romhacking and pulled off of the discontinued mod of Rfh: http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=11063.0 Little by little got its own identity and I decided to rename it. The mod aims to be a major rebalance, increasing difficulty and also adding new concepts to the gameplay. As the use of Neutral Skills not dependant of a job set but of what race you are playing, the consumption of MP in attack or anything that might come in the future... Feedback and suggestions welcomed!

Things to do

• Balance the new jobs, revise animations again, add flavour to descriptions.


• Remake every mission if needed to make the game harder but more rewarding with own decisions and strategy.


• Balance Gil gain per lost during whole journey.
