Title: Synthesis Shop 1.00
Post by: Xifanie on November 18, 2013, 08:28:59 pm
LINK TO VERSION 1.00 (http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=10108.msg194219#msg194219)

Inspired from FFIX

Turn the Fur Shop into a Synthesis Shop.

Examples:

Chameleon Robe + Leather Vest + 3000gil = C Bag
5 Potions + 200 Gil = Hi-Potion
3 White Robes + Crystal Mail + 50000gil = Venetian Shield

The fur shop's sold inventory would be automatically calculated based on the player's inventory. To not screw things up, poach items could be sent directly into player inventory instead of going through the Fur Shop, but it might still be possible to have it work without that.

There should probably be a new list of prices for each item or simply use the good old half or full price of the item, alongside the consumption of the other items in the player's inventory.

I am in favor of this :o (which should come as a surprise to absolutely no one).

... This is interesting enough for me to consider...

This sounds bad ass. I'm rather fond of the broken gear is appears at fur shop hack, is there a way to keep these two compatible?

I don't think it's possible without making a buy menu in the Fur shop specifically for Synthesis items, while leaving the normal Buy from the Fur Shop intact.

You could definitely keep the broken weapons part. You'd just have to keep an item table with a count of broken weapons. So it would have to run it's initial routine to calculate synthesis items based on your inventory. Then add broken/stolen weapons from the table.

When you actually buy something, it would have to check that broken/stolen table again to see if a count exists. If so, you would get the item for freeeeeee. Or whatever the cost associated with that is.

It would take a bit of code, but it's doable.

Not sure if its worth it though. When I get off I'm going to do some research on the shop buying and see what I can do.

Choto, that sounds tremendously complicated to code it like that, managing:
- Item X at Y Price
- Item X at Z Price consuming A, B, C

In one item slot? You'd have to force the player to buy one over the other, or code something to allow the player to pick & choose.


As for the item inventory, I was thinking of displaying every possible item you can synthesis, and then, alongside the gil amount checking routine, force it like you wouldn't have enough gil if you don't have the required items. That way it would just grey it out.

Synthesis information for each item could simply be written in the description of each item.

Yeah I was thinking you'd have to put the requirements in the item description

Post by: Choto on November 19, 2013, 12:20:59 pm
ehhh I don't think it's as much complicated as it is strenuous to code extra routines. Ya the assumption would be if there's a "broken" item available, that would override the synthesis.

Complicated is my middle name lol...

How does the game decide which items are consumed to form the synthesized item?  Is it a fixed recipe (like refining in PSP TO), or does it simply remove certain items from your inventory that add up to the required cost for refine?  I was thinking for the patch makers who have extra item slots could make "gems" that are used only for refining or selling for a high price that can't be equipped or otherwise used and the game randomly removes gems equal to the cost of the item you are to synthesize (as this routine would be easy and save the need for yet another table for recipes).

FFIX uses 63 synthesis slots, using a gil cost and only 2 items to merge into one; sometimes it's the same item but x2.

My idea for this hack is:
- 64 slots
- Gil cost
- Up to 3 items from 1-99 quantity

There could also be a byte to determine which shops can sell the item.

People could assign item slots to be used as materials only for synthesis (I recommend the throw-only items if you get rid of the Throw vanilla skillset in your patch)


@fdc:
I remember someone using a coin system, coins that you could sell for extra money. The thing is, we already have gold, so I don't see the point of making a synthesis shop that basically uses just a 2nd type of gold currency. Maybe have it your way for your patch, but I definitely wouldn't want a broad use hack like that to be so limited.

Small Progress on the hack:

Had to hack the text, because FFTactext doesn't allow editing that text <.< unless the newer versions do, but I haven't tried them.
As you can see in the screenshot, I changed "Buy / Sell / Leave store" to "Buy / Synth / Sell / Leave". Sorry folks but that's all I can do for now, I had to play with the space I had.
You should be able to, however, edit the help descriptions in Tactext.

Up to now, what the hack does is write 0x01 to 0x8013D990 if the Synthesis option is selected, and 0x00 with buy. So, using this byte, we should be able to customize the fur shop into 2 sections. "Synth" simply loads the same routine as "Buy".

Right now my spreadsheet supports 64 Synthesis slots, with the following data:
12 bytes per item

Progress~

Alright, time to test 100gil + 5 Hi-Potions = X-Potion








First, we start with 50
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89448064/SCUS_942.21_18122013_205045_0016.png)
Let's buy... 5 ;o
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89448064/SCUS_942.21_18122013_205055_0999.png)
Now we has 55 X-Potions :O
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89448064/SCUS_942.21_18122013_205112_0956.png)
And 25 Hi-Potions
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89448064/SCUS_942.21_18122013_205111_0048.png)




Items are still displayed even if you don't have the required items to synthesis. However this causes the player being able to select the item for purchase: see bug.
Items have a custom price just for Synthesis.

I'm working to add completely Custom text. For instance, for this Example, I want it to display:
QuoteClerk
You'll need: 5 Hi Potions.




BUG:
I have no clue how to prevent players from completing a transaction of buying 0 items.

I can still code though.

But yeah, for me it's mostly Cheat Engine + convert address to RAM address, breakpoint, find place to add a jump to the bigger routine, and that's it.

enough to Synthesize a single one.

Edit the spreadsheet as you wish and xml away!
PS: You will need to edit the Fur Shop help popups in FFTactext. Without doing so, Synthesis has Sell's description, and Sell has Leave store's description.

You might have noticed the amount of items isn't recalculated by how many you're buying. I had no real alternative because refreshing the Clerk's message would make it blink repeatedly when increasing the amount when I kept pressing . It looked atrocious. Plus, listing the amount of items you have is already an improvement over FFIX.

I tested my hack, and it seems all its functions are working on the Playstation console. However, if you downloaded it less than ~30min after I posted it, it won't. I forgot to check for console breaking errors before releasing the hack... I can just confirm that if you downloaded after that, it should work perfectly on console, and PSP eboot too I'm guessing.

Buy is Fur Shop's Buy
Synthesis is that thing that allows you to consume items and money to get a new item
Secret Hunt requirements are there for those who still want to go at it vanilla style.

Thought I'd ask this here in case anyone else ran into the issue in the future.

I tried to adjust the Tactext, however it seems like both the normal Shop and the Fur Shop use the same Sell dialogue. Also, I opened up my Tactext in notepad and located the Fur Shop help messages, but it only has the buy and leave messages. No matter were I tried to add in a new entry, I was not able to edit the Synth help message without changing the Sell message from the normal shop. Even when adding a new entry, the Exit option would remain blank. Not sure what to do in this case.
Title: Re: Synthesis Shop 1.00
Post by: Xifanie on July 09, 2015, 05:29:45 pm
Alright, I'd like to ask people for their opinions.

As you all know, I'm making a new version of the Synth Shop.
Originally, I was going to force a new poaching system, up to 4 different items, with specified amounts.
Also introducing materials, using item slots 0x100 to 0x1FF.
Basically, poaching a Chocobo could give you up to 10 Chocobo Feathers and 1 Chocobo Beak, stuff like that.

But, how should I handle the materials? I'm not sure, I've thought about replacing the Buy option, with a Buy Materials option. Basically the same thing only that you can only purchase materials. Obviously, this would slash any possibility of buying regular poached items which might be an issue for some people?. But most materials are meant to be acquired via poaching, so I'm not sure if it would be worth it. I'd also want to allow synthing materials, like: 1 Steel Ingot = 1 Iron Ingot + 2 Bones + 3 Fire Balls.

Hopefully I can get some feedback on this, because I want to keep working on this hack, yet I'm confused about what to do next.

So, how would this restrict the synthesis aspect? How would the materials cut into items space? If this is all free space, I'm for doing just materials. Even if that means that prefab'd(Normal) shop inventory and move finds can't be used. (As long as we aren't encroaching on the limited space for materials, I would prefer it be just materials. To give an opinion.)

Makes those ransoms far more important, if done right!

Restrict? Materials are only meant to improve the synthesis aspect.
Well, it's free space (kanji space), but it's rare for anyone in this community to come up with such ambitious hacks as mine, so usually I have a fair amount of space to spare. :v (I always try to use it intelligently to save space though)

Also, move-find items have nothing to do with the fur shop, they are added directly into your inventory.

i use your amazing hacks and i find them super useful but that question is hard. some people will likely disagree with the idea of replacing poached items me included there. but thats because of how i designed the item availability.
    common/uncommon = shops   Rare=Poach      Very rare=Synth
well but mine its a personal project so that wouldnt count as much as the official community projects. their creators are the ones that should give an opinion. but i will go ahead and ask some questions.

1. if the Buy materials option is implemented, what will happen to the changes made in FFTPatcher related to poaching?

2.how could we administer our earned materials? do we get them sent to our Stock item inventory? we get a totally new menu for them? or will they only show up in the synth menu? i ask because if thats the case what about item icon and description.

i assume this will come in the spreadsheet but i will ask anyway.
3.the materials will have an especific default name made by you or they will be free to be modified by players. this is considering there is people that replaced monsters and it would be awkward to have a flan or a tomberry droping wings and beaks im yes im aware that the player will be likely to modify the drops of each monster but what if i want them to drop something such as Jelly or a Tomberry knife?

D: sorry for my engrish when it comes to questions... my english runs away  :oops:

Clarity on the move-finds - I was referring to non-material items. (I often forget to re-read my posts.)

If it's in Kanji space, (I.E. space I know zero about) Then that's awesome. I just wanted to know how much free space we are playing with. Which of course you mentioned in the OP but I dont read Hex well. (16 squared extra spaces for materials.) 256 Materials is plenty, assigning a max of four per monster is a great limit too. (But is that per monster or family?)

All I know is I'd use this hack twice for public use myself.

So we should be able to go into the synthesis shop. Buy our materials, then go to synthesis, and combine materials for items in our regular item space or new materials?

Also, more ambitiously, Combine a Rare Material (Example-Dragon Iron (Made from dragon base materials and synthesized) w/ a Defender and a Elixir, to make a Excalibur.)?

I figured it would be more simple to have the menu as follows:
QuoteBuy (Original Fur Shop poached contents)
Buy Materials
Synthesis
Sell
Leave Store


Or for those who would prefer not having the original buy option at all:
QuoteBuy (Materials)
Synthesis
Sell
Leave Store


If I add the option to buy materials, I think I can make the new poaching system optional, but I'm honestly pretty set on not coding the new one to include rare drops. I don't think they add ANY value to gameplay. If you really want something "rare", just require the player to use 8 times as many "regular" items for synthing and you're good. On average, the player should only be able to acquire as many synthed item as with rare drops. So in the end, I'm not even sure why anyone would want to stick with the original poaching system.

My hack will use either the fur shop inventory for materials if you don't plan to use that anymore, or some extra space available that no one else is using. The latter is just less convenient for mods that could use a lot of extra space (that is also stored on memory cards). So either way, you can still keep the regular Buy option.

Xifanie, I'd take either option, just because they both help me. However, more options are always nice. I guess this will mean my players will have to synth consumables, from materials.

We are still locked into the 48 items for Synthesis, correct? (If we could get 16 more I'd be over the moon, but that probably a space limitation, so ignore my wishlisting because I'm just grateful for the first 48.)
Title: Re: Synthesis Shop 1.00
Post by: Xifanie on July 09, 2015, 07:19:45 pm
It's 64, not 48. And that's going to be increased to either 253 or 254.

You just have to remember the more stuff you make my hack do, the bigger it gets and the more chance it will have to "crush" another ASM hack.

:) with this in mind i would totally use it
yes rare poached items have always been a term of lets say "vanity" but to my point of view it will never be the same to say oh i finally got 50 chocobo feathers yay!! to say: OMG HOLY SHIT i poached a chocobo blade FUCK YEAH!! <--- dramatization. (yes i know nobody does that ) i would gladly use the buy original poach contents option :'v

You wouldn't have to buy the materials though, I can't have 4 inventories:
- Player's Inventory
- Player's Materials
- Fur Shop's Inventory
- Fur Shop's Materials

It's just not possible; there's not enough space.
Basically the "vanilla" Buy with the new poaching system would send all 0x00-0xFF items into the fur shop, and the materials (0x100-0x1FF) would already be yours to use for synthesis.

And most people tend to be:
QuoteJESUS FUCKING CHRIST IT'S 20% WHY HAVE I NOT GOTTEN IT IN 30 FUCKING TRIES!?!?


Just a little infuriating when it happens

I'm definitely in favor of the idea of changing the BUY option into something to purchase materials (though at a high price for people that are too lazy to kill the required monster to get the materials) it really brings out the Monster Hunter aspect that this idea originated via a post about, in that game, you can trade high level/rare materials for other high level/rare materials from another monster via a special shop. I think it's a really cool idea.

Honestly with the fact that the other spreadsheet still exists, you can still have both posted. One for people who want to just have the synth shop with the normal poach function and don't want to setup the materials, which still allows them to remove the buy option in the newest version of the spreadsheet, if, once again, they just want synth and don't want to setup the extra materials, while at the same time being able to remove the buy option. You'd still have the new spreadsheet for everyone that wanted to utilize the extra material item space for this, like me. :D

I'm in favor of having the poached materials, because that makes sense. (I've got two classes with Innate Secret Hunt, that go to a Tame class, at this point someone can properly strip materials) However, I am more then satisfied with the majority.

(Also, sorry I misread the initial number of Synth options, no idea where 48 came from.) Also the RNG on Poaches deserves a funeral in favor of a new mechanic. (Not actually saying we do something with it, but agreeing with the rediculousness of it.)

Something that I mentioned in another topic: I made a scavenging formula. You can use this formula on any active ability and you can poach with it without having secret hunt equipped BUT ONLY WORKS ON DEAD TARGETS. It was made because I thought Secret Hunt was too overkill... no charge time or anything (yet allows you to kiss goodbye undead monsters so easily), and found it dumb your attack had to be the finisher. That is 100% complete.

Attaching some screenshots:
#1 and #2: I reworked the menus. I'm 100% done remodeling them to what you see below.
#3: Selecting "Buy Materials" will immediately take you to the Chemist Items/Shurikens/Throwing Balls page, where all the materials are going to be. I plan on removing Stock/000-255/Eq./All/00/99 in this section. Yes this is nitpicking. Yes I am nitpicky.

Madame Webmistress, you may be as Nitpicky as you want. That just looks brilliant. When you are final in your nitpicks, I will make it my priority to install it and have a Dortor save ready to browser through the awesome. (And probably ask a half dozen stupid questions on setting the thing up. Sry, ahead of time.)

wow xif this is to awesome and that scanvenging formula sounds like 1 of my FFT dreams because secret hunt weapon deathblow is really annoying... specially when the monster has element resistance/absorb , stupid ass evasion, your weapon is a bitch and triggers magic spell :l
i was like: wouldnt it be easier if i just had to kill the damn ugly stupid mutant furry-like antrophomorphic artificial inteligent made in japan ass monster and then bag its dead body?
stuff like that~

Buy Materials menu mostly done! (just some bugs left to fix: the price is slashed in 2 and that you can't enter it without something in the fur shop inventory)
You can change the item type icon, the graphic/palette of the other icon, name, price.
Up to 256 of these little bastards.

Sadly, the materials aren't being added as craftables in the synth menu so I'll have to figure what's going on but I think it's safe to say that the worst has been coded! \o/

Post by: Xifanie on July 13, 2015, 04:06:53 pm
Still got the poach routine to rewrite, which should be no big deal at all. Otherwise, only bugtesting and console testing left. \o/

New menus! Yes they're big, but I think it was really the best option to keep the hack as functional as possible, and as user-friendly as possible.
Sell Materials! Okay, I admit I didn't want people to be able to sell materials at first, but you can also force the selling price to 0 gil if you want. Or 1/2, 1/4th, 1/8th and so on.

PS: Buy/Sell Materials menu force you on the 5th inventory tab, and you can't leave it. No materials are found on page 1-4 anyway, so there's no reason for you to go there.

Wow, that's more then I'd hope for. (And the sell materials will be exactly what I wanted to balance my Gil incomes.)

Can't wait to install and use the new routines!

Most impressive.
I will definitely be using this once it's done.
The new scavenging routine sounds like a great alternative to the old poach system and makes a lot more sense contextually.
And more importantly it sounds fun.
