Final Fantasy Hacktics

This is a legacy thread, please visit my new thread (http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=11708.0) for new and updated ASMs.


Might as well post some ASM stuff... These are all Battle.BIN unless specified. If you have a formula you want created let me know and I'll create it (assuming its in my ability). You can request other asms but no guarantees as I'm not as well versed in some sections of the battle.bin. I attached an xml to the bottom that can be added to FFT orgASM.

Job Defensive Boost

This hack assigns each job with a number (both a magical and physical) that will reduce damage done through X / 256, so if you wanted a 10% decrease in Physical attacks you would have to use 0x19 (25) rather then 0x0A (10). You check the ai flag Magic Defense Up or Defense Up to determine if the ability will use the jobs Physical or Magical number or you can check neither and the ability will ignore these modifiers (probably very useful for boss enemies). Pokeytax was kind enough to create a simple to use spreadsheet which is attached below for everyone to use. It is VERY important to note that this hack is probably incompatible with Xif's Fury hack, I will have to fix this at a later time. 

Individual Weapon Proc 1.0

This asm creates an individual proc for each weapon, so you can have a special staff that cast Esuna at 100% and you don't have the terror of your book that cast Flare at 100% or a Knife that inflicts Blind at 100% and a Sword that inflicts Undead at 50%. You obviously use Formula 2 to cast a Spell. To set the rate for each weapon you need to refer to this list. http://ffhacktics.com/wiki/Items_List

You then add the item number to 0xF6aa0. So if you wanted to boost Thunder Rod's proc, you'd add 0x34 to 0xf6aa0 and you'd change the value at f6ad4. All values are in hex of course (so a 25% rate would be 0x19 in hex). If you do use this ASM don't forget that you do have to change the values to the weapons you want to stay at 19% rate to 13%.

What also is included is a way to create an Accessory that doubles the proc rate for all of the weapons which is signified as XX below. Refer to the list above to set the Accessory. d0 = Battle Boots, d8 = Genji Gloves, ef = Salty Rage, etc. If you do not want this feature, set XX to F0.




Endurance 1.0
Based off of SentinalBlade's old Endurance for Symbols of Rage. The PA part of the formula is affected by Current HP * PA / Max HP. This is after Two Hands but before other XA modifiers such as Attack Up, and Compat. So any formula that uses the Attack Up modifier will be affected (Formula 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 2d, and a few others).  A few notable that it does not affect are Jump and Throw. I plan on redoing this; what I'm not sure what I should make it only affect.





Punch Formula becomes (PA + XX)/2 * PA
Change of the normal punch from of (PA * (Br/100)) * PA to (PA + XX)/2 * PA like the Punch Art formula. Change XX to whatever you would like, in hex of course.





Formula 11 becomes (Jump * 2) * WP
Turns the normally NS formula into this. If you look under the section f6858, you can change 3b to 36 for PA, 37 for MA, 38 for Speed, or 3a for move. Change 40100200 to 00000000 if you want to remove the * 2 part of the formula.  And 0239 to fa38 if you would rather use the formula Y rather then WP. Mix and match if the formula isn't what you want and I've highlighted the sections below that you can change. So you could have the formula read as MA * WP if you wanted. None of these changes will affect the attack up, defense up, etc. part of the formula though. Status are inflicted at 100% like Formula 2d and it takes the ability element rather then the weapon.





Formula 11 becomes Damage = Y
"Y" corresponds with the Y value in the Patcher. For obvious reasons, this is incompatible with my other Formula 11 asm.   



Formula 20, 21, and 23 become MA+PA/2 * Y
Requested by Mando a long time ago. Replaces the MA * Y for all of the relevant Draw Out formulas to MA+PA/2 * Y.



Formula 13 becomes Heal HP (Attacker's Current HP) Hit F_(MA+X)%
Basically White Wind from previous Final Fantasy games, some games heal it differently but most of the time it heals based on the users current hp so I kept that. It accepts elemental boost, 100% status, and damages the undead. I thought a flat 100% chance to hit was broken, so I added the Hit % function with Faith.





Untruth "Bug" Correction
Faith causes the units to have "0" Faith and Innocent causes units to have "100" Faith when using Formula  1F or Untruth.



Formula 2D becomes (PA + Y)*XX/ZZ*WP
Requested by DrBreen. Y refers to the formula Y and XX/ZZ are adjustable hex values indicated below.



Formula 1F or "Untruth" becomes (WP + Y) * PA





Formula 42 or the "Work" formula gains Status, Elemental, Physical Evasion, and whatever else it was missing.



0 Gil earned from Level Bonus



Remove Female Only Equipment
In SCUS_942.21



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



Martial Arts boost by 25% instead of 50%



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. The MP Regen recovers 1/4 of Max MP after each turn. I thought it was better then 1/8 like normal Regen.



Formula 5E becomes (PA + Y) / 2 * PA Hit_(1+X)
Takes everything you would expect from a physical formula.



Elemental Weakness reduced to 3/2



Formula 4e becomes Hit_(MA + X) Dmg_(MA * Y)


Remove Spill Over JP



Constant Faith

Faith adds a constant value, so it mirrors Xif's Fury asm. Change the bold 23 into which ever number you would like to use as a constant (in hex of course). Defaulted is 0x23 (or 35 in dec).

EX. (Damage * (Attacker's Faith + 35) * (Defender's Faith + 35)) / 10000



MP Switch Overflow damages HP
Any excess damage from MP Switch no longer goes to waste. It will damage the target's HP if there is any excess.
EX: Attacker deals 150 damage, Defender has 50 MP. The Defender would lose 50 MP (all of it) then receive 100 Damage.

Added Formula 11 NS becomes (Jump * 2) * WP. Requested by Mando

Very nice. I might use the Endurance and Jump ASMs.

Thanks Pride!

Ya gogo 'Jump' !!!!

Updated .XML to include Punch Formula, Formula 11. Added a hack I made for Mando a while ago; Draw Out formulas becomes MA+PA/2 * Y over MA * Y.

Doubling posting cause I can.

Added Formula 13 becomes "White Wind" Heal HP (Attacker's Current HP) Hit F_(MA+X)%

Added Formula 2D becomes (PA + Y)*XX/ZZ*WP. Requested by DrBreen.

Triple post? :[

Woow!
It's really this formula!
Thank you very much! Thanks :)
Words cannot describe how gladful i am!
Thank you very much,this will be definitely helpful for my patch!

Doubleposting to doublethank Pride!
Thank you!
This thing work,and its working good! =D

Added a few features to the Work formula such as Status like the Sword Skill Formula, and Elemental Absorb. Check it out ^_^

Haha, holy shit! i didnt expect anyone to take any endurance in my old Endurance hack. Thanks for giving me the credit for its base, though. I appreciate it!

Heh, you're welcome ^_^ It wouldn't be right to steal use an idea without giving proper credit. I actually plan on updating it soon but still wondering what I should do with it exactly.

You're missing a few of the hacks you made for me.  I can dig them out of my PM box if you want to post them, since you posted the Fist Formula Hack.

Also, I had a few ideas regarding a 2D hack, if you want to try it.

Yeah PM me them because I can't view my sent messages. And fire away with a suggested asm ^_^

You should make it work with the Fury hack, that zodiac made awhile back(dunno his new new SN yet, lol). Thats the only reason i never took it anywhere, because i wanted it to work in conjunction with it. After a long asm session with no fix in site, i decided to just call it done, lol

Looking at the offsets where Xif made it, I don't see why it wouldn't work together (it would mess up a current asm I'm working on but I wrote my own "fury" asm a while ago and never published it because of hers) but I can't be sure without testing it.

Could you convert Formula 11 to always deal 200 damage? When I was lurking I saw I a thing for a Blowfish like ability and I would like to have it. Thank you.

Added Formula 11 = Y above. It doesn't have any modifiers (I'm assuming you didn't want any). If there's anything you want changed let me know.

It's exactly what I want. Thanks!

You're welcome! Enjoy ^_^

You could also change it to one of the dummied formulas if you want it to be compatible with your other formulas. I don't need it, but I'm just saying.

Pride,you already have Work formula with all the properties of normal formual(element,status,evade etc.),can you remake it to "Dmg_((WP+Y)*PA) DmgToSelf_((WP+Y)*PA/X)"? I think it'll be helpful not only for me but also for alot of the people on forum(Dark Knight yeah)!

Also,not a request but a question. Is it possible to make Wall status function like "every unit targeting unit with Wall will be treated like having Best/Worst Zodiac compatibility with this unit"?

Also,by the way,Work formula hack is AMAZING.

THANK
YOU
PRIDE

And it is possible but might be annoying to make (Not sure what good it does either since the AI won't target units with Wall...)

As for what we talked about regarding Formula 2D last night:

Make use of the X variable input, so that the Formula becomes ((XA + Y) * modifier) * WP, using a loop and X value to determine XA and modifier.  (If you see "modifiable divisor", I mean highlight where it can me modded in the code itself, not moddable via FFTP settings, that would be far too overwrought.)

Eg, X of 0 is default 2D, so XA is PA and modifier is 1. X of 1 is MA and 1. X of 2 is SP and 1.  X of 3 is WP and 1.  X of 4 is W-Ev/(modifiable divisor) and 1.  X of 5 is S-EV P/(modifiable divisor) and 1. X of 6 is S-EV M/(modifiable divisor) and 1.  X of 7 is LVL/(modifiable divisor).  Loop, X of 8 is PA again, but the modifier is now 2/3.  X of 9 is MA and 2/3... etc.  X of (10 or 16, I forget if FFTP's X/Y input uses hex or decimal) is PA and 1/2, (11/17) is MA and 1/2... etc.  (18/23) is PA and 1/4..., (20/31) is PA and 4/3, (28/39) is 4/2, etc etc etc. for whatever useful modifiers there are, essentially filling every 2D request that may ever come around at once using this boss loop. You can extend each entry to be out of base 16 (0-F, so the loop resets at a more rounded number in hex) as well if you can think of 8 more statistics to cram in there, or if you want to try applying an XA1 + XA2 setup to 2D. (Something I'll explain below.)

The above can also be applied to Work as well.  Show where and how to mod the *Y of Work to be something like PA, MA, WP so the user can decide what they want, apply the above, but instead of a modifier, make that value be your recoil.  (Obviously you'd use a different set of fractions from 2D, but you get the idea.)

You could also apply the XA1+XA2 setup to Work.  This makes the Formula become (XA1+Y)*XA2 then the recoil factor, and only accepts four statistics instead of 8-16, but gives you more freedom over editing the formula itself.  This must be is base 16.  Perform a loop as before, with 0 as your PA.  Except, this time, it sets both XA factors to PA - so you get (PA+Y)*PA.  1 is PA and MA, or (PA+Y)*MA. 2 is PA and SP. 3 is PA and WP. 4 is MA and PA. 5 is MA and MA. 6 is MA and SP. 7 is MA and WP. 8 is SP and PA. 9 is SP and MA. 10/A is SP and SP. 11/B is SP and WP. 12/C is WP and PA. 13/D is WP and MA. 14/E is WP and SP. 15/F is WP and WP.  You use all 16, including redundant ones as PA*WP vs WP*PA due to the Y factor, adding Y to PA and Y to WP yields different results and different scaling, etc.  You then add your modifier or recoil per loop of 16 as usual and its good to go for either 2D or Work, or even other things like the Knight's Break Formula and other things that accept two PA/MA/SP/WP factors.  Which four factors this uses can easily be edited as well - you may want to toss them over moddable divisors, so people can easily do things like replacing SP with S-EV P, etc.

There's your challenging hack, Pride.  :p  You can take this a lot farther with a YA3 factor and other things, but this stuff's really the baseline, so I figured I'd stop the gravy train here for now.  This stuff is basically the principle behind FDC's huge formula hack though, except taken 1000x farther via flags - highly variable formula that can serve up to 16 different roles at once by default.  He just adds the flags in, so each of those 16 roles gains an extra 20-30-40-50-ohchristwhathtefuckisthis.  If you can stomp out these though, they'll make for good tide overs until FDC's huge hack is done, and knowing how this stuff works will make expanding on said hack easy, since it'll have tons of room for I guess what you'd call "plug ins", if you can even think of Formula it doesn't cover or can't be easily modified to cover somehow.

I think When i added the Fury Hack, it simply overode endurance. I wish i could remember. It was nearly 2 years ago that i made Endurance.

If your looking for things to do out of boredom, i always wanted to do something with my Class "Zealot". Basically, the intent was to make an innate support ability, that worked in reverse of endurance. I.E. The lower the hp, the higher your attack goes. Thematically, it was to be called "Rage" and tie in with the story line, and the church's "Zeal" Stone.

Or, something cool would be a support ability that lets you do more damage when you have a status afflicted

I wish i had more time, lately. I miss ASM

I'll have to look into it.... Cause that's a strange occurrence. But I think I'll do the Zealot one as it seems fun enough to do for fun ^_^

Pokeytax was kind enough to make a spreadsheet for the current hack I was working on, which is attached on the first post. It creates a "Defensive" number for each job that reduces damage (either magical or physical) by a percent based on X/256, so 0x19 (25) would act as 10% decrease and 0xFF (255) would decrease the damage by 99%. You check the AI flag Magic Defense Up or Defense Up in the Patcher to determine what stat the attack will draw from or you just don't check either one and it'll ignore the units defensive boost. Enjoy!

Don't want to be an annoyance,but Pride,

QuoteAt 0x00122194  replace 81 17 06 0C with 97 17 06 0C.

makes formula damage functions like (WP+Y)*PA*Y/100,so,with low Y it's useless,but with high Y it's overpowered.
Or i patched something wrong?

...

That's... really strange. I can't fathom why it would be doing that... Could you do me a favor a open your battle.bin to 0x11EE04 and copy and paste from 0x11EE5C to 0x11EE90. I'm wondering if there is any changes in that section for you then what should be there.

Sure!
Here is my BATTLE.BIN from 0x11EE5C to 0x11EE90:


That's it.

I also use Abilty Requirement Hack,maybe something from there overrides your modifications?

About the YA3 thing, since you wanted me to post it, it's basically like the XA1 and XA2 input, except using Y/8 or Y/16.  Each time you loop through Y, you increment the + by 1, and the actual value in there determines what YA3 is.

Eg, say you wanted to apply this to a basic 2D, with both X and Y being out of base 8 and using the modifier setup I described above, it would become:

(XA1 + Y/8) * YA2 * (modifier).

XA1 and YA2 would be drawing off the same table of values, so both could be PA/MA/SP/WP/W-Ev/S-EvP/S-EvM/LVL depending on whether the input is 0-7.  The difference here is just what the looping does - looping X cycles the modifier value, looping Y increments the Y additive that 2D has natively.  Using this setup, you can make 2D into, well, 2D, 2D with an MA factor, the Punch Art formula ((PA+Y)/2*PA), the Geomancy Formula ((PA+Y)/2*MA)), the Truth/TripleFlame/etc Formula ((MA+Y)/2*MA), and a ton of others.  You can also apply this to the Knight's Break Hit Formula, making it XA1 + YA2 + Y/8 * (modifier) and in turn incredibly customizable, or even to a simple MA+Y or MA*Y Formula, making it XA1(+/*)Y and filling a lot of simple requests at once.

But this is simple stuff.  A more complex one is:

((XA1 + XA2)/2 + (Y/8)) * YA3 * (modifier)

Same deal, but you use the XA1 and XA2 tree, which is out of base 16 and only has combinations for four values.  This, when combined with YA3, however, can represent a number of the more complex formula in the game.  PA+MA/2*WP, aka the Book Formula, can be cranked out of this, among many others.  A variation is (XA1 * YA3 + Y/8) * XA2, which covers formula such as the Katana if you give YA3 input options like Br/100, Fa/100, the inverse of those, etc.  I believe that also covers the Formula of things like Wiznaibus. You can even go completely insane with Formula using 4-factor combinations of XA1/XA2/YA3/YA4 if you wanted.

You can easily apply this to every Formula in the game besides Drain/Raise/Demi and I think 1-2 others by just recycling the code as well.  The fix for Demi and co was kinda nightmarish, so I don't know if you want to go near it.

I'll post the other Formula related stuff we talked about over IRC too, since you said the first one was easy, at the very least:

Take the main bit where the game processes Status and nop part of it out, so every Formula in the game is forced to act like 2D.

Make it so that ATKUP/DEFUP/MATKUP/MDEFUP are wired to the AI Defense UP / MagicDefenseUP flag.  I'm trying to think of a good way to make Martial Arts and Two Hands well-handled here as well, but it's not gone the best so far.  I can't think of anything that's not overly arbitrary or overly complex.

PRIIIIIIIDE! You're a genius!   :mrgreen:
Your hack about formula 42 works OK,i just tried to repatch it,and suddenly noticed that you made a typo:

Great work here Pride! I was wondering if I could make two requests... I was wondering if you could replace Formula 4E (MA * Y) into (MA * Y) (Hit = MA+X%)? Razele tried to make this long ago, but his hack doesn't appear to do any thing. I was wondering if you could take a look at it?

Also I was wondering if you could make items not look at a "Z" value but normal X's and Y's? This would increase item versatility by a ton and I'm sure would be helpful to others as well.

I totally second LD's second request.

The first request is pretty simple. I'm assuming Razele was unable to do it back then is because he didn't have the knowledge we do now.

As for the second request... I don't think its possible. I don't have enough knowledge in SCUS and there's no space at the end to the abilities to try and add on.

I know that if you use a formula that references x and/or y with an item, they are considered 0, and there is no room in the FFTPatcher for x and y on items. Perhaps this is because there is no room for x and y values for them?

That would be correct

Would it instead be possible to replace an x or y value in a formula with z, so it still has versitality?

This asm creates an individual spell proc for each weapon, so you can have a special staff that cast Esuna at 100% and you don't have the terror of your book that cast Flare at 100%. Obviously this only applies to weapons using Formula 02. To set the rate for each weapon you need to refer to this list. http://ffhacktics.com/wiki/Items_List

Refer to my first post for more details.

Wow! This is quite impressive! Though one thing I couldn't quite understand in it, does it only apply to one item at a time? For instance can I only have One item use this new Weapon Proc? Or is there something I'm missing that allows you to add as many as you like? Even if it is just one it still has a great ton of potential!

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking... Each weapon can get a separate rate, so you can have Rune Blade cast Break Magic at 50%, have Thunder Rod cast Thunder at 75%, have Ice Brand cast Ice 2 at 35%, so on and so forth. Then there is an extra feature that creates an accessory that boost the proc rate of said weapons by x2.

Hmm, there's no limit to how many weapons one can have unique proc chances? And if this is the case, do you just continue to use the bytes after the initial 0xF6AA0?

What exactly is the data that's being replaced by this hack, out of curiosity?

You can have as many as you do weapons themselves, but you have to align it correctly.  If you have the first and the last weapon with unique proc chances, then you need to type in
XX1919191919...YY, where XX is the first weapon's proc chance, and YY is the last weapon's.

What exactly is the data that's being replaced by this hack, out of curiosity?

Kanji table, most likely.

I see, that clarifies it greatly, thanks FDC. Hmm, such a thing would have great potential as a spreadsheet, I would imagine due to its inclusive purpose and the add-on feel it contains merely by the hack itself that as a spreadsheet it would be much more accessible. As a hack though its still quite a piece of work!

If I knew how to create spreadsheets I would =P

I love spreadsheets

Edit: Yes it just replaces more of the Kanji Table.

Wow thats really really cool! I definitely have to keep this hack in mind for after i solve all the other problems i'm currently dealing with in my patch :D

(All this spreadsheet talk reminds me that I need to re-teach myself Excel. It would be nice to have an actually useful skill for once....)

Great to see that you're still working on this.

I'm definitely using the Work formula, 0 Gil Level bonus and individual weapon proc changes in addition to the Untruth bug fix. This reminds me that I should probably update my Embargo thread with that before I forget yet again.

As tempting as it is, I won't ask you for hacks right now since like I said, I wouldn't do that until I could actually code, which I still can't.

Regardless, keep up the good work and such.

If you need any help with Gnumeric or OpenOffice Calc, just ask me.  Sometimes it's hard to figure out where they put, say, the freeze panes feature.

Ah yes, Pride. I have a favor to ask, something that I would imagine is rather minor. Would you be able to find the code that enables Female only equipment and get rid of it?

In SCUS
0x0004CB6C
Change 40 to 00

And could you change that 40 to something else to make it male only, or male and female?  Where's the byte that determines what type of equipment gets the gender requirment?

http://ffhacktics.com/wiki/Formula_Hacking

0x0006=

    * 0x80 Male
    * 0x40 Female
    * 0x20 Monster
    * 0x10 Join After Event
    * 0x08 Load Formation
    * 0x04 ??? Stats
    * 0x02
    * 0x01 Save Formation

So changing it to 80 would change the gear to Male only, to C0 would allow both male and female to equip those items, etc.

Spank you very much.

Excellent. Thank you very much Pride. You sure did find this one fast.

I already had the information to do this in my notes (thanks to SecondAdvent) and I'm also using the same thing in my patch.

Thanks to knowledge from FDC (and also credits to Glain), I know the Individual Spell Proc ASM also acts as a way to boost status procs with the flag "all or nothing" but retains the 25% value when using "separate". So... It doubles for that now. So hurray for 1-100% status procs along with spell procs.

I also can't believe I missed this but I suppose it also stems from the fact that I cannot test as well as I would like. I need to further test this to see if there's anything I'm missing. Any input from anyone using this for odd bugs or unexpected things let me know.

(It feels like I'm forgetting to ask you something yet again.)

Speaking of forgotten things, just to clarify, for the hack that turns formula 11 into damage that's equal Y, does that formula check against physical evasion or magical evasion? I think that most of the non-standard ones default to physical evasion, but I can never remember correctly.

Strangely it doesn't check any evasion... Not sure why I did that (I usually at the very least have it check Physical Evasion)

(Wow, that was quick.)

Ah, hunh. That's...an issue then. I had the idea to maybe use that formula for Steel Giants, but, yeah, I don't really like abilities that can't be evaded. And, of course, only now do I remember that a lot of without any type of variable simply can't be evaded, which is extremely annoying.

...Hey, I just had an idea.

If you could maybe "fix" that (provided that you wanted to, of course), then could you maybe also "fix" the fact that Undead units can dodged healing attacks even though they do damage to them? I'm guessing not given that healing formulas don't normally check against anything--why would they--but I figure I might as well ask since Item desperately needs the wind taken out of its sails.

Regardless, thanks.

I can fix that pretty easily. Would you prefer magical or physical? Want it to rely on a X value?

I know how to do the second one, not super difficult... I'll consider it.

I'd like to make arrow guard block Guns, bow, crossbows, and act like Catch at the same time for 1.4
It's possible?

That is very possible. I can whip it up in a few minutes if you like.

FDC has already done these.

It's possible (And if it's possible, how?) to implement both of them at the same time?

Give me a minute and I'll create an xml for you to be added in the same folder with fftorgASM

Edit: Uploaded.

You are my new god! Thanks a lot!

You're welcome! Pleased to help 1.4 ^_^

(Weird how the day flies by even when I'm awake. Such nothingness.)

Don't know how I missed this.

I'd prefer physical, personally, but I'm sure that some people would prefer magical.

Would having it rely on X change anything? I'm guessing it wouldn't, but I still don't know a damn thing about coding when it comes down to it, so I wouldn't be surprised if I was incorrect.

Well adding a "x" value means it would take the x into the accuracy, such as the revive formula (PA + X). If you didn't want it, the accuracy would only be affected by physical evasion (shield, class ev, etc.)

(*slaps forehead*)

Ah, right. Well, I don't really need that. Besides, wouldn't adding X make it so that the accuracy by default is less than 100%?

But, yeah, I don't really need that for what I want to do. ...Although, if it doesn't automatically weaken the accuracy too much [read: by -15%], then sure, why not...outside of more work for you.

Updated my other formula 11 (Dmg_(Y)) to include physical evasion but no "x" value in it.

Pride asked me to make this.

This means it's as ugly and non-export-to-XML functional as my Store Inventory Spreadsheet.

When a unit is charging/performing, it takes extra damage from attacks
It's possible to remove this effect?

Pride,i wonder,will it be hard to change formula 11(or some other unused formula) to "Hit_(X)%",X-value in FFTPatcher?
So it'll be easy to create,for example,things like Inflict Dead at 30%. Or something like that.
Or just remove NS from Dance/Sing formula.

There's no reason you can't convert the Hit_(100%) into Hit_(X%) besides the fact that Square coded the Hit_(100%) formula like a bunch of retarded monkeys.  Like, he could probably reduce it to under a tenth of its current size while making it Hit_(X%), lol.

Pride, you are awesome
Twice

This is a slightly updated version of the spreadsheet I posted earlier.  After talking to Pride, I was able to update it to allow any single Headgear/Bodygear/Accessory to allow the double proc rate instead of just any Accessory.  If that tickles your fancy, download this one instead.  Adding Weapons/Shields to the mix would require changing the hack slightly, but if he does it, expect a third update.  Else, enjoy.

Cool. Any chance these formulas could go on a new FFTorgASM for us simpletons? Some of them are particularly epic (white wind, looking at you), but I have no idea how to implement them with my limited knowledge.

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

Requested by Eternal

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

Ugly coding for the custom part but I was lazy.

Added:

Martial Arts boost by 25% instead of 50%

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

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. 

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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

(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

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.

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)

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%).

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.

Quote from: LastingDawn on May 12, 2011, 02:30:04 pm
Great work here Pride! I was wondering if I could make two requests... I was wondering if you could replace Formula 4E (MA * Y) into (MA * Y) (Hit = MA+X%)? Razele tried to make this long ago, but his hack doesn't appear to do any thing. I was wondering if you could take a look at it?

Also I was wondering if you could make items not look at a "Z" value but normal X's and Y's? This would increase item versatility by a ton and I'm sure would be helpful to others as well.

This is the asm correct?

If the hit % is based off of MA + X... The actual move power won't get any boost from Magic Attack Up, and other things that would normally boost or decrease the moves power.

That's perfectly fine with me. The skills are pretty much tailor made for a certain class anyhow and outside of that it would only be used for quick kills or an attempt at status ailments.

I modified the Job Defense Boost ASM Spreadsheet.  The Macros were making it glitch out for a number of users (including Pride himself) so I rigged it to work without them and added some reminder text on top for the user on how the math is performed.

(Sigh, this just reminds me that I really have to update the first post of my thread among other things.)

Ah, good to see that the White Wind ASM wasn't imagined even though originally I had planned not to use it. "Funny" how things (don't) work out.

More "humorous" is the coincidental (and new?) change to formula 28 that is basically exactly what I wanted for a couple of skills. Guess I'll have to pilfer that alongside the Work changes, the Untruth fix and the White Wind one. Preemptive thanks.

Speaking of pilfering, that "Mist" status idea seems rather "nifty". I might just use that for Wall's replacement, at least in the interim period given you know what I want to do. However, I want to point out that RavenofRazgriz informed me that the Wall-related hack of FFMaster you cite doesn't apparently since it's more an AI issue than...whatever.

I've tested FFMaster's Wall ASM and it appeared to be working just fine.

(Forgot to say that I'm of course going to use Formula 11 as well. Thanks again for that.)

Oh, hunh. Maybe that was just with regards to Razele's hack for some reason then. Hmmm...perhaps RavenofRazgriz will explain what happened to him (if it was even him) since I might be remembering it incorrectly.

(Just to clarify, since I still know nothing about coding, I ask for confirmation about the formula 2D change. If I wanted to make it, say, 80% of normal damage, I'd just need to make XX = 08 and ZZ = 0A, correct?)

Hmmm...I could have sworn that I asked this last night, but perhaps I only considered asking it and then flaked out given that I'd feel rather guilty over asking while still not being able to code; that or my sloth prevented me while slowly working on something else.

However, I suppose I'll just ask now since I'd end up asking your permission to modify it even if I knew how to code: Would it be troublesome to ask for a Mist formula that only regenerated 1/8 of MP instead of 1/4 MP? Or that at least showed/explained what I'd have to change to essentially halve the rate of MP restoration?

1/4 MP each turn is way too much for what I want to use it for, especially given that I want to use it to "fix" something if I can.

Regardless, thanks in advance.

That would be correct about formula 2D...

That would be correct. You could overwrite a different status effect if you were not using it, such as Reflect, Innocent, or a few other ones.

Nope.  FDC's Formula Hack will allow 25% or 100% via a flag but there's no big hack for all abilities like that

It'd be a fucking huge pile of lines (510 entries) just for the table that has the hit% on it too, in addition to all the code it'd take to actually make that table mean something.  A hack like that would be enormous... not sure if it's the best use of space.  But then again, there's only so many things you can do with the space, but then someone would also want a Critical Hack to mirror this Proc Hack for even more piles of space used. 

edit - figured it out

About my formula hack 5B, it should be magic evadable too, sorry if you have to tedo alot, because of me no thinking straight.

Updated my .xml with some of the newer asms that were missing. Added Lasting_Dawn's old formula request of Formula 4e becomes Hit_(MA+ X) Dmg_(MA * Y).

5B to be Hit_F(MA+WP+X)%

Added the bold to my .xml. The two random formulas are acting weird and I'm trying to figure out why.

Pride... your Untruth "bug" fix doesn't work at all. You mixed Innocent and Faith up like Square did. Change all 80 to 40 and all 40 to 80.

>_>'

Hey pride, thanks for the existing hacks, they are awesome. I was wondering if this was a possibility - making there be a "chance to break" on the mighty swordskills instead of it being guaranteed?

Faith adds a constant value, so it mirrors Xif's Fury asm. Change the bold 23 into which ever number you would like to use as a constant (in hex of course). Defaulted is 0x23 (or 35 in dec).

I'm looking into bundling Mist and Regen into a single status.  (Aka, have Regen fill both 1/8th HP and 1/8th MP.)  Is there an easy way to do this?  I read the thread, but it looks like merely setting Mist to reference the Regen status will cause the old effect of Regen to not apply, when I still need it to.  Any way around this without doing something retarded like giving up a second Status?  I need Wall, Innocent, Reflect, etc, so I can't just make them two separate statuses that are applied simultaneously. 

Without testing, it looks like you can do it just fine. I know it will not display correctly (probably will only display the HP regain) but I don't see why it won't work.

Pride, can you do that the wall status recover 1/10 of MP instead of 1/4? If the hack is in blank status, much better.

Is blank status used?

1/10 would make me rewrite the hack, 1/8 or 1/16 can be done with just changing a single line.

You want it over the black status right above crystal? Or do you want it to always trigger without a status?

Well, recover 1/8 is good. If it is possible, that every single unit recover 1/8 Mp without a status.

Thank you very much!! You are a really expert!!

EDIT: Your ASM has a problem, regen override the mp recovery.

It doesn't; it just won't display the mp recovery. That was the first thing I checked.

Hey Pride, would you be able to make an inverted version of Mist as well?  (As in, damages 1/8th MP per turn.)  I'd like to toss that on Poison to add some parity with Regen healing 1/8th MP, and you seem to be the best man for the job given you've already coded the inverse.  :p

I need to organize my section of battle.bin badly =P

You do.  Here's a little help. (http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=8301.msg164759#msg164759)

Fixed my error in my weapon proc hack. download the new spreadsheet on the op.

MP Switch Overflow damages HP
Any excess damage from MP Switch no longer goes to waste. It will damage the target's HP if there is any excess.
EX: Attacker deals 150 damage, Defender has 50 MP. The Defender would lose 50 MP (all of it) then receive 100 Damage.

Oh, damn! Cheers, mate! That's a huge improvement.

Thinking on it, do you think you could mod this further or make another hack that takes a set amount of MP per 1 HP of damage absorbed. Something like this:

Attacker deals 100 damage, Defender has 50 MP. If absorption rate is set to 2 to 1, the defender expends all their MP to absorb 25 damage and overflow causes the remaining 75 damage.

This could be a good way to further balance a reaction skill that is largely considered broken.

That makes it worthless honestly, Vanya.

As it stands, I couldn't see myself using MP Switch with overflow because that by itself is largely worthless.  It basically means you block one hit.  You know what else helps you block one hit?  Abandon.  A Shield.  Etc.  It's like the crappy version of Protect/Shell as a Reaction ability as it stands with overflowing, I couldn't imagine making it worse.

EDIT: If anything, I'd want to be able to make 2 HP = 1 MP, or 3 HP = 2 MP, so if Pride were going to add that functionality, the only way I could see justifying it is if he made it XX HP = YY MP conversion.  Then it's at least total freedom to make MP Switch's exchange whatever you want.

Doesn't MP Switch like never fail to activate? Isn't the problem with it that as long as you have MP you're basically immortal?

Quote from: Vanya on February 17, 2012, 02:37:55 pm

It's Br%.  The only time it's "broken" is when it's combined with Move-MP UP, and even then, once your MP is out and you're relying on that Move-MP UP, it only becomes "Negate one hit per turn maybe."  Do also remember that your MP is usually half your HP or less, so even your maximum MP is likely only blocking one hit, maybe two tops against any competent enemy.  Vanilla didn't have many of those, so MP Switch + Move-MP UP looked even more broken than it actually was.  I've never actually used it because I find the combo to honestly be weaker than Auto Potion with X-Potion or basically every other exploit in the game.

Trying to balance a "broken" Reaction works better when you know how it works...

MP Switch/Mana Shield is somewhat useless now, unless someone creates some Blood Mana reactions and supports.

*HP Damage Received regenerates MP //time mage
*Magical HP(?) Damage Dealt regenerates MP //Wizard or maybe summoner
*Regenerate MP upon KOing and enemy or reducing enemy HP to zero. //Wizard
*Regenerate MP upon debuffing an enemy (more debuffs = more MP) //Oracle
*Regenerate MP upon  removing debuff from an ally  //priest
*Regenerate MP upon removing KO from an ally //priest
*Regenerate MP upon restoring HP to an ally (but not self) //priest
*Regenerate MP upon buffing an ally (but not self) //time mage

Calculator gets all effects?  Sage get's all effects?

It gets crazier if all abilities cost MP.

If they weren't actual supports or reactions, but were instead effects linked to the different mages, then it would give the player a reason to use that classes's spells.  So, there's no point in trying to restore HP to an ally when you're a black mage and low on MP, because it doesn't regenerate MP - instead, deal damage to an enemy or try to KO it.

Pride, in your hack ''Regain 10% of Max MP after each turn'' Could you do that the units recover MP when start the turn, not the end?

*Time frame to complete is each hack is subjective, it may take days, weeks, months, or years to complete due to complexity of hack, research required, indifference to hacking, too preoccupied with League of Legends, laziness, lack of sleep, overworking, not working, overeating, or not eating enough.

Seems it gives 10% mana to allies and damages enemies by 10% health. Also AI seems to not want to do charge abilities, or will interrupt them on next turn. However without the ASM, they act correct. Any ideas?

Sadly the "Restore 10% of Max MP on turn start" version is just a black battle screen :(

edit: Upon patching "Restore 10% of Max MP on turn start" and reFFTorgASM all of the TLW ASM, I believe it is due to the  "integrated in the FFTP Consolidation Project!"
This ASM above now grants units +1BR each start of turn.   Mind making a Fix patch for TLW? :3
