Help! / Replacing maps with attack.out
March 03, 2012, 11:17:24 am
I'm trying to make the battle at Thieves Fort actually occur in the lost sacred precients. 

So... take my extracted attack.out file in the same folder as the editor, change the map to LSP in a shotgunned array from 02D-034, save, and then reimport this onto my iso.  Load save that's camped at Mandalia, walk in.... and I'm still at thieves fort. 

Where's the error?

The Lounge / Go the F--- to sleep.
June 15, 2011, 06:28:46 pm
As Read By Samuel L Jackson.

Some of you might think I'm joking, but this is a real book, and a real audiobook (see above).



QuoteWhen Adam Mansbach's daughter Vivien was two, she would take up to two hours to fall asleep. Exhausted and exasperated, one night Mansbach posted a note on Facebook, "Look out for my forthcoming children's book, Go the -- to Sleep". Following his post, friends of Mansbach responded enthusiastically, so that Mansbach began writing what was then only a hypothetical book. Mansbach had the illustrations for the picture book done by a friend, illustrator Ricardo Cortés (a contributor to The New York Times), and approached Akashic Books, a book publisher from New York.

Go the Fuck to Sleep was subject to an unintended viral marketing campaign after PDF copies of the book, presumably from advance copies sent to booksellers, were distributed via email. While the book was originally scheduled for release in October 2011, by the end of April the book had hit #2 on Amazon.com's bestseller list, and by May 12 the book was #1. In the meantime, the publishing date was moved up to June, and the publisher increased its first printing to 150,000 copies.[ Akashic, which acknowledged the importance of social media in popularizing the book ("it's a miracle from the heavens for us"), is trying to prevent piracy of the book. The rights for the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth were acquired by Canongate. The film rights have been optioned by Fox 2000.


Quite endearing imo.

Simply put, there are still about 14 or so spare ability slots.  I want to keep a very small amount around (4-6) as blanks for future development, but this frees up 8-10 slots that I still have no clue what to do with.

My initial instinct was to pump up the number of monster abilities to help diversify the tiers and give elements/range/proc/etc to their to-be unique-but-currently-normal "attack" commands.  

But then I looked at the dancer and the bard and with Slow Dance / Speed Song removed from the game, each of these classes boasts a whopping 6 skills.  On top of that, in keeping with one of the ideas of ASM'd, Song/Dance are losing their map-wide effects in exchange for a large self AoE.  A simple solution to the song/dance problem would be to just combine these into a single skillset.  With 12 skills and both offensive and defensive options, Performers as a whole would see more use imo.  This of course leaves a gaping hole on the job wheel.  It's an easy solution but it creates a new problem. (Well, not a problem per se, just something undesireable)

So... in keeping with another idea of ASM'd (show off what we can do), with the use of the Ability Requirement Hack I can create the Phaseshifter(?) class, who is able to both activate and cancel the "cursed looking" status, which is either required or prevents his abilities.  Cursed version is of course darker, focusing on self-harm, large single-target damage, and negative status.  Light side is more defensive dealing with HP curing, light AoE, and positive status.

Meanwhile, I can also throw in two additional abilities into bard/dancer and then pump the rest into monsters as above.  But I'm at a loss on what exactly to give dancers.

Bard:
Requiem - High % chance to sleep/damage/something undead
War Song - Grants 5 Br to everyone in the area

Dancer:
Sword Dance - Self AoE 1 dealing normal melee damage to everything in sight (its like wave around, only it's not)
????

~

Note: I think most other classic FF classes are redundant with the current scheme with the notable exception of Scholar but I just can't think of enough worthwhile and unique abilities to justify giving him a spin.

But, enough blather!  Vote!  It closes in two weeks and the majority will rule.

FFT: ASM'd / Monsters
December 21, 2010, 01:22:31 pm
*equips flame-suit*

Monsters are normalized in ASM'd -- they lose their tiered system and more just variants -- stats are equal so that a Yellow Choco is the same as a Black one, e.g.  The only difference is their unique ability.  Biggest change ASM'd does is give monsters a unique skillsets which removes the need for monster skill but more importantly expands their abilities.  They will all have the attack command by default and then feature 3 family abilities coupled with a species-specific ability.  To this end, the "monster skills" are now just normally powered skills.  Monsters are still specialized but powerful units.  In addition to this all monsters gain secondary reaction abilities which is just another lovely thing to be triggered.  

On top of this, the inclusion of human-like skillsets (not that JP is involved or anything) means that a) breeding is not possible and b) monsters can be limited by MP since if MP is set it will be reduced.  Thus, some of the better monster abilities will be gaining an MP cost to prevent mega spammage, but I'm still working out which ones and how much and all that jazz.

So... please review these as desired:

- anything warrant a rename?  Kinda suck in the naming department
- Do the counters work?  Could use improvement?  etc
- Do the abilities/monster skills work?  Improvement, etc

How multiple reactions work:  If they share the same trigger (counter and hamedo, e.g.) they stack multiplicatively -- on a monster with 70 Br they have a 70% chance to do their first reaction and then if that doesn't go off they have a second 70% chance (21% net - 30% chance remaining times 70%) for a total chance of 91% to somehow react to the attack.  On seperate triggers (counter and counter magic, e.g.) it's 70% on both fronts.  

Counter List:
Abandon
PA Save
Auto Potion
Auto Protect
Damage Split
Gilgame Heart
MA Save
Regenerator
Speed Save

Regarding stats -- all growth is set to 5 HP / 25 PA / 25 MA / 170 Sp.  This is more advanced than humans (7/40/40/190, at max) but then again monsters don't have gear to equip or supports to swap.  The only difference rests in their multipliers, which range from 100 to 180 depending on the stat and the monster.  

Abilities marked with an asterisk (*) are the ones learnable by the Blue Mage.  

Chocobo: speedy and mobile, but with low HP and minor evade.  Notably have choco meteor as their primary attack function -- it's weaker than other iterations but it gives them a bit of defense by proxy.  Primary support units, with almost all their moves being Self + 1 AoE in nature.

FFT: ASM'd / Help Wanted Topic
December 16, 2010, 10:13:33 pm
Will be updated regularly as tasks present themselves and I have something organized enough to send out.  Tragically sometimes things require so much instruction it's easier/faster just to do them myself.  But!

Requests:
3 - Blue Mage Sprite - both male and female.


UPDATE:

BM is half-done and abandoned. 



If anyone is interested in finishing it off (mostly just replacing the summoner horn for the hat), here's an excellent working base.

Basic concept works wonderfully -- blue hat with a white brim + white feather (imo modify the male oracle's), blue overcoat and lighter blue pants.  Palettes are a minor concern -- I don't mind the blue mage rocking an off-white garb for palette 4 or whatever.  So long as the hat is unique and defining I'm happy because that's the single biggest thing for different FFT classes.

http://ffhacktics.com/wiki/Event_Scripts_and_Scenario_Order_correlation  should help.

Decompile the start of these fights, remove the previous wait/darkscreen/etc/remove darkscreen commands, and insert this this chunk instead.  This will remove the units being highlighted and correctly display the correct objectives (ie, defeat all enemies).

Completed:

1) Maps - Place initial starting locations for all random battles for ease in ENTD editing.  Thanks Gotwald!

2) Blue Mage item text edits - Correct the item descriptions to reflect the Blue Mage class instead of the Sage class.  Blue Mage can equip Swords, Rods, and Staves.  Sage was also able to equip Poles and Books.  Thus, for all instances where the letters "Sg" are uttered, please replace them with "BM".  Additionally, remove the {Color:00} x {Color:04} commands around Sg/BM within the Pole (Musk Rod, e.g.) and Book (Monster Dictionary, e.g.).

Tool to aid you: Texter - allows you to program macros/scripts into your keyboard.
http://lifehacker.com/assets/resources/ ... %200.6.exe

Install it and create a new script hotstring, with the following:
{del}{del}BM

now all you need to do is get your cursor right in front of Sg and press the mapped hotkey.  Repeat till done.Thanks Lasting Dawn!

I know it involves some funsies with hex editing, which I'm moderately competent in.

Anyone offer some insight?  Would like to release Easytype without involving that step.

FFT: ASM'd / Assassinations vs. Kill Em Alls
December 07, 2010, 07:34:48 pm
Currently this is the list of assassination (defeat/critical one unit to win) fights.  Bolded are ones that I thought should be changed to kill em all for either storyline purposes (ie, everyone there should hate your guts), or to provide a different battle than the zerg-and-snipe that many are used to.  Italics are the ones I'm on the fence about, and the neithers are the ones I think ought to stay as-is

Miluda I
Miluda II

Algus

Zalmo I

Which... on review: most of em become kill em all save the Zodiacs and Zalmo I because he's a twit.

Also for my own edification:

Mercenaries / Red Mage job class discussion
August 23, 2010, 03:14:38 pm
The red mage is a classic final fantasy class, with roots dating back to good ol number 1.  Skilled in both light and dark magics, not to mention sword and shield, these versatile warriors are an excellent addition into any party.  This is the Rad-only job class, and is located on the magical edge of the job tree directly drawing from job levels in Inquistor, Blue Mage, and Esperblade.  Although all spells have charge times, they are exceptionally quick.

Skillset
 
?Innocent? - Faiths * (MA + Y) chance in inflict Innocent onto a target, 2 CTR.  Calls upon holy powers to temporaily pardon the target and grant immunity from magicks.
?Faith? - Faiths * (MA + Y) chance in inflict Faith onto a target, 2 CTR.  Calls upon holy powers to ensure target is able to give and recieve magick's full effects.
?Jugarum? - Faiths * (MA + Y) chance in inflict Frog onto a target, 2 CTR.   Binds a ???? spirit to the target, making them a froggy-wog.
?Possession? - Faiths * (MA + Y) chance in inflict Undead onto a target, 2 CTR.  Binds a wandering spirit to the target, turning them into a member of the living dead.
Healing Rain - 4 range, 2 AoE, 3 CTR.  Weaker than moogle, hits both allies and enemies alike.  Faith-based healing into the wide-area.  "Western winds bring recovery to those in need"
Replenish - MA*Y MP healing.  Self-only.  "Having unlocked the inner workings of Mist, the user generates some for himself freely"
Meteor - Faith/MA damage - 0 range, 2 AoE.  Huge damage, but odds are Rad dies too ^^.  "Calls upon a great comet from the heavens to strike down enemies.  Comes at a price, however."
Tornado -  (PA+X) * MA damage, 5 range 2 vert linear.  X here is big. "A whirlwind flies from the caster, damaging all in its path"
Nova - Faith/MA damage - 4 range, 1 AoE; chance to inflict Don't Act. "A debiltating explosion that harms and sometimes maims the opposition"

Stats
(HP - below average
MP - above average
Speed - average
PA - above average
MA - above average)

FFT: ASM'd / New title image?
April 16, 2010, 09:55:50 pm
Its a rather low priority thing, but its something cosmetic I'd like to include.

However, since my art skills (computer or otherwise) are pretty craptastic, I'm tempted to simply convert a fan art picture into a 320x240 image, spruce it up slightly, and slap it in.  Here are some of the ones I've attempted though far (quite rough, I know).  These images were easier because they were 300x300 by default :D

Other candidates include:







(ps, can you tell I think chocobos are AWESOME?)

Anyone have an opinion on the matter? These are awesome?  They suck?  They suck, but, philsov, here's something awesome?
19
The deep dungeon will be an end-game Arena with very difficult enemies.  However, the party size will be limited.  There are two floors for a single unit, two floors for a pair, two floors for 3x, two floors for 4x, and then finally 5x for remainder.  For floors with 1 or 2 (maybe 3?) units, controllable Explorer Guests will be provided for one fight.  They have innate Death Sentence, 1 movement, high speed, no gear, and no skills.  They are however very well placed :).

Random fights... are just that.  The only intentionally difficult ones will be the rares (1 per map) and Dolbodar Swamp.  Dolbodar because that will be the Bountiful Land of Previously Poachable Goodies, and the rares because, dammit, they're rare.

There is a limit of 4 sprites for all enemies, though palettes can go wild. Please keep this in mind.

Please post if you've got any ideas!

The list is here!  Please review if you are interested.  If not, whatever, gtfo.  Or offer a random suggestion all the same :twisted:
Only item with initial or auto haste, Salty Rage, is also perma berserk
Perfumes redone slightly to not outshine everything
Shield/Mantle evasion significantly lowered to minimize evasion hax
+Sp / Move items kept to a minimum
Longbow/Ninja knives/daggers get a mild WP boost to compensate for loss of speed stat
Much of the armor is strikingly similar to the popular patch that shall not be named.

Also formatting is a complete bitch.  Text uploaded as attachment instead of reformatting the damned thing.

Edit:  To clarify on the flail, "Flailing flail" is a self-referencing 25% weapon strike proc (ie, triple/quadruple/etc procs are possible but extremely rare) that is also a new Basic Skill ability that requires a flail to be equipped to use.  Thus, using the ability with this weapon equipped is RNG funsies for the whole family.

There are currently 0 open and unused ability slots.  Woo-hoo!    Looking for suggestions for the already existing generic classes, monster abilities, boss-only abilities, or abilities for special characters -- please use this topic to do so and to critique stuff already on the table.

New stuff, to date:

- Blue Mage is born!  Nuked the Calculator because Math Skill is OP.  Input welcome.

Choco Cure
Goblin Punch
Eruption
Blaster

Throw Spirit
Drain Touch
Leaf Dance
Doom

Sudden Cry
Necrotic Touch
Wave Around
Ice Breath

Bio3 - Queklain
Quake - Fury 1 (special enemy of Yuguo)
Melt - Fury 2 (special enemy of Poeskas)
Tornado - Fury 3 (special enemy of Poeskas)


Blue Mage is unlocked from job levels in both Squire and Wizard.  It has below average HP, above average MP, average Sp, and above average PA and MA.

- Archers gain a new skillset, since charge sucked.


??? - Weapon range attack inflicting stop
Leg Up - Self only, inflicts float at 100%.
Execute - Deals 21% HP damage to a unit in the critical status. Instant.
Poison Volley - Inflicts Poison to an AoE.
Oil Bomb - Inflict Oil to a single target
Fire Arrow - Fire-elemental weapon strike onto a single target, with an additional 25% for more fire magic funsies.
Aim - Deals WP*SP damage, unevadeable. Has synergy with two-swords.
Impact - Deals WP*PA damage and inflicts silence
Salve - Cleanses target various negative status, and heals for 20% health upon success.


- Bard and Dancer consolidated into a single class (Performer), which then opens up space for a new female-only job class, the Berserker.


Berserk - self-only berserk, haste, regen, and defending
Takedown - melee-range single target attack with recoil damage
Cripple - PA+60% chance to inflict either Don't Move or Don't Act onto the target
Shove - Deals light-medium damage and forces target back a space
Ground-Shaker - Self AoE of 2 dealing earth damage to everything in range (mimic titan for humans)
Howl - Self AoE of 1 that slows all affected targets, high success rate
Frenzy - Persevering melee-range attack
Heartbreaker - 3 range single target attack that inflicts a negative status onto males.

- Time/Summon/Black/White/Yin-Yang magic all gain a 0 CTR, single-target ability for use when the AT is not in their favor.

- All generic classes gain a "starter" skill or two, a 0 JP ability to freely purchase and use as soon as the class becomes available.  

- Squires lose Dash.  Squires gained several new weapon abilities:
-- blind blow is an attack with 100% darkness infliction
-- Pierce (sword only) a double-panel weapon strike.
-- Acupuncture (xbow only) a healing weapon strike
-- Flailing Flail (flail only) a weapon strike with a 25% chance to trigger another weapon strike
-- Cleave (axe only) an attack that deals 75% damage to the target
-- Throat Slit (dagger only) inflicts Death, although unlikely

- Knights take in the Ruin abilites from 1.3, which gives them means of ranged action.  Also gain two new abilities; Shatter will cancel a target's defending/protect/shell and deal 33% damage, while Champion is an HP-absorbing attack that requires a knight sword to utilize.

- Summon Magic and Draw Out AoE reformed to cope with the reduced range/movement, hosting 3-way attacks and linear attacks in additional to traditional AoE.

- Black magic reformed.  Fire magic now has the highest damage but also the highest MP cost and charge time.  Lightning is medium damage with moderate CTR, but also has infinite vert tol.  Ice Magic is the fastest but least powerful.

- Item skillset reformed. Auto-potion effect capped at 100 HP. Single-status removal items gone. All status removing is now in either Remedy or Holy Water. When either Remedy or Holy Water is successful, the target is now also healed for anywhere from 1 to 150 HP. New potion class heals for 200 HP (auto-potion immune). New Ether class grants 80 MP. Gained three new skills which can be used offensively or defensively, whichever tickles your fancy:

Dual Kiss - Grants both Haste and Poison to the target
Turtle Shell - Grants both Slow and Protect to the target
Shade of Grey - Grants either Faith or Innocent to the target

- Steal Gil, Steal Exp removed from the game. Thief gains two new skills; Steal Sanity, inflicts the confusion status to the target, with the same chance to work as Steal Heart -- only this one ignores gender -- and Last Laugh, a move usable only while critical that inflicts blind, poison, and silence onto their target.  

- Negotiate and Death Sentence Talk Skills removed from the game. Talk skill given the 4 moves from 1.3 -- warn (inflicts defend), threaten (inflicts Don't Act), Preach (inflicts reraise), and Refute (cancels most status effectis) along with the 4 original Br/Fa modifiers, who now modify in increments of 10 in either direction.

- Elemental diversified slightly -- some panels effects are now either Pure PA or MA-based damage, and a few retain the older composite formula.  This will keep elemental viable through endgame and help reinforce where people place their geomancer.

- Counter Condemn, new monk skill, counter attacks with a chance to inflict death sentence on the target. Counter Tackle removed.

Removed from player pool

Reactions -- For mostly balance purposes:

- MP Switch
- Hamedo
- Abandon (maybe, pending ASM hack)
- Blade Grasp (maybe, pending ASM hack)

Movement abilities:

- Move +3
- Teleport


New job tree.  6 classes are initially available, and the most advanced jobs are now more accessible than before!

BASIC JOBS: (no unlocking required)
Chemist, Squire, Knight, Archer, Priest, Wizard.

SECONDARY JOBS:
Monk: 3 Chemist + 3 Knight
Lancer: 3 Knight + 3 Archer
Thief: 3 Archer + 3 Squire
Blue Mage: 3 Squire + 3 Wizard
Oracle: 3 Priest + 3 Wizard
Mediator: 3 Chemist + 3 Priest
Geomancer: 3 Knight + 3 Wizard

TERTIARY JOBS::
Samurai: 4 Monk + 4 Lancer
Ninja: 4 Thief + 4 Lancer
Berserker (female only): 4 Geomancer + 4 Lancer
Time Mage: 4 Mediator + 4 Oracle
Summoner: 4 Oracle + 4 Blue Mage
Performer (male only): 4 Geomancer + 4 Oracle
Mime: 4 Monk + 4 Thief + 4 Blue Mage + 4 Mediator



New status durations -- with speed growth curbed off, status numbers readjusted.

Stop, Charm, Don't Act -> 17 ticks.  Should be enough to always be one action, but never two (unless you're like 99 and hasted).
Don't Move/Protect/Shell/Reflect/Faith/Innocent -> 38 ticks, approximately 3 turns.
Sleep/Regen/Slow/Haste -> 50 ticks, ~4 turns


Update:  Or, instead of talking differences, here's a complete run down of the generics:

Squire:
Accumulate - +1 PA
Throw Stone - light damage with knockback
Heal - heals about half of what esuna does
Yell - single target Haste, self-immune
Cheer Up - single target regen
Wish - instant 1 range Revival
Pierce - sword - double panel strike

FFT: ASM'd / FFT:ASM'd -- Demo Download
April 11, 2010, 05:16:54 pm
Download Patch Here!

FFT:ASM'd is a patch with an emphasis on party placement and seeks to include a variety of previously unimplemented hacks into its manifest.  The most obvious change is an across-the-board slash in base movement (it's 2 now!) and ranged abilities (now most of them have 3 range).  Additionally all units gain a degree of physical defense with the presence of innate weapon guard and global class evasion (50% on sides, 25% from behind).  Past that this patch also includes the Blue Mage class, gives the Archer class a unique skillset, and adds additional abilities and nuances to the already existing other skillsets like reformed AoE for summon magic and draw out, differing damage from elemental, and 0-charge time spells for all the mage classes.  

Demo for a patch that is long overdo, I'm happy to announce the preliminary chapter 1 of this project. Please download and enjoy. There is still much to be done, but I do enjoy a good tease.

NOTE: The objective of Thieves Fort, Lenalia Plateau, and the Windmill shed are to defeat all enemies.

Patching instructions:

Download the above ppf file. Using the PPF-o-matic utility, found here:

Pretty awesome script for the fans of the movie.

QuoteWALTER
In sooth, then, faithful friend, this was a rug of value? Thou wouldst call it not a rug among ordinary rugs, but a rug of purpose? A star in a firmament, in step with the fashion alike to the Whitsun morris-dance? A worthy rug, a rug of consequence, sir?

THE KNAVE
It was of consequence, I should think; verily, it tied the room together, gather'd its qualities as the sweet lovers' spring grass doth the morning dew or the rough scythe the first of autumn harvests. It sat between the four sides of the room, making substance of a square, respecting each wall in equal harmony, in geometer's cap; a great reckoning in a little room. Verily, it transform'd the room from the space between four walls presented, to the harbour of a man's monarchy.

WALTER
Indeed, a rug of value; an estimable rug, an honour'd rug; O unhappy rug, that should live to cover such days!

DONALD
Of what dost thou speak, that tied the room together, Knave? Take pains, for I would well hear of that which tied the room together.

WALTER
Didst thou attend the Knave's tragic history, Sir Donald?

DONALD
Nay, good Sir Walter, I was a-bowling.

WALTER
Thou attend'st not; and so thou hast no frame of reference. Thou art as a child, wandering and strutting amidst the groundlings as a play is in session, heeding not the poor players, their exits and their entrances, and, wanting to know the subject of the story, asking which is the lover and which the tyrant.

THE KNAVE
Come to the point, Sir Walter.

WALTER
My point, then, Knave; there be no reason, if sweet reason doth permit, in enlightenment's bower--and reason says thou art the worthier man--

DONALD
Yes, Sir Walter, pray, merrily state the fulcrum of thy argument.

THE KNAVE
My colleague, although unfram'd and unreferenc'd, speaks plain and true. That these toughs are those at fault, we are agreed; that I stand wounded, unrevenged, we likewise are agreed; yet you circle the meanings unconstantly, like blunted burrs, unstuck where they are thrown.

WALTER
I speak of aggression uncheck'd, as crowned heads of state once spoke of Arabia--

DONALD
Arabia! Then we have put a girdle round the earth. Of what does Sir Walter speak?

WALTER
Cast it from thy sievelike books of memory, Sir Donald; thou art out of thy element.

DONALD
Mine element?

WALTER
Wherefore was I curs'd only to minister
To congregations held in deafen'd pits?
I must hobble my speech; of elements, sir,
A doctor of physic did once explain
That all the earth is province elemental,
Sure and steady as the stone-wall foursome
A-holding up the Knave's roof, tied together
By power that we spake on, our traffic
Unmarred by thy rough and idle chatter.
And the complexion of the element
In favour's like the rug that ties the room.
O, a muse of fire the first element,
Airy breath the second; though this wind
May well be yours for all you flap your tongue,
O ill-dispersing wind of misery!
Thou hast no wings, and, liable to plunge,
You fit not fowl; yet foul your interruption,
Fished for facts, yet fish you cannot be;
So water, elemental third, you're not,
How much salt water thrown away in waste.
Of earth, no woman left on earth will have thee,
No man of middle earth will tend thy land,
So walk the plains like to a lonely dragon;
I care not.

These videos are an hour long a pop, this is not for the ADD-addled among you!

Either way, I'll be watching these videos shortly.  Forget where they are in the series but each one was released weekly.  

My worldview is a little more... cynical and in some cases hypocritical, so I'm skeptical of a lot of what'll probably be espoused here, but I'll be watching it all the same.

Help! / Ripping Chapter 4 from ShiShi
December 12, 2009, 08:14:02 pm
Just the straight Chapter 4 image export, rocking the "somebody to love" text.  Can anyone do it?  Chapters 1, 2, and 3 were no problem though...

I get some ungodly nullreference error when I try it on 4 :3

Is this a problem with all shishis or just a problem with my iso/shishi/computer?

Tutorials and Learning / Guide to Hex Editing Equip X's
November 12, 2009, 01:06:26 am
There are by default eight equip X abilities:

Equip Armor
Equip Shield
Equip Sword
Equip Katana
Equip Crossbow
Equip Spear
Equip Axe
Equip Gun

The names of course mean nothing -- we can easily change them that via Tactext.  But, they can be shifted into a vast array of equipping abilities.  The information to be edited is located in SCUS_942.21

To get SCUS_942:21:
Use a utility such as CDMage, and direct it toward your FFT iso.  Locate it, select it, then extract/save it.  Here's a picture.



Once your edits are done, you do the exact same process, except instead of Extracting, choose the Import File option, and locate your own edited file.

First off, here are the 32 possible equippable classes and their corresponding values:



NOTE:  These values are in hex.  They can be freely added within their table to create composite equip functions -- to create an equip function to equip Daggers (60), Ninja Swords (20), Knight Sword (8), and Katana (4) -- its resulting value is 8C.

As seen the equip bytes are within 4 different tables.



On the lower left is Table Reference.  Any equip X can access any table.  Noted are their default values, if you want to minimize inputs.

Secondary Table Access:
By enabling the noted locations (change the 90 to 94 and the A0 to A4), you enable the equip X skill to access a second table, which is always the next one.  If 4A is the primary table, 4B is the secondary.  4C is 4B's secondary, and 4D pairs up with 4C.  If you try this with 4D, you somehow lose equip options.  Worth toying with, but not for now.  There should be a way to combine offsets, like 4A and 4C, but that'll require a little more testing.  Once cracked, expect an update.

And.. that's really it.  Here's a couple examples:

Equip Shield now equips Shield and Ribbon:
0x4CAB4 = 12
Change its value from pure shield to shield + ribbon.


Equip Sword now equips Longbows:
0x4CAC8 = 4B
0x4DAD4 = 4B
0x4CAD0 = 08
Change Equip sword to reference Table 4B.  Change its value to exclusively longbow.


Equip Katana now equips Katana, Rod, and Spear:
0x4CAE7 = 94
0x4CAF3 = A4
0x4CAEC = 05
0x4CAED = 01
Enable Katana to access its secondary value.  Since you already want a 4A + 4B combination, no re-reference is required.  Change the Primary (4A) value to 5 (4 + 1) and Secondary to 01 (spears).


Equip Axe now equips ribbons, bags, and perfumes:
0x4CB38 = 4C
0x4CB44 = 4C
0x4CB3B = 94
0x4CB47 = A4
0x4CB40 = 42
0x4CB41 = 01
Change equip axes' reference to start at 4C, enable the secondary to make it a 4C + 4D equip support, and change the primary to be Bags + Ribbons while the secondary enables Perfumes.  The ultimate transgender support ability!


Vocabulary/syntax clarification is welcome.  

Information deciphered from Razele's findings + a bit of logic work.

PSX FFT Hacking / Hex editing reactions
November 11, 2009, 01:17:54 pm
I'm curious about how one can locate which byte value has which effect on the game.

Using Raz's topic:  http://www.ffhacktics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1785

he was able to locate values in both Battle.BIN and SCUS, so that people such as myself can go in there and tweak stuff like Katana Break % and starting cash.  

More specificially, I'm interested in the reaction abilities.  For the sake of example, let's say I'd like to make Regenerator trigger a different or additional effect -- given the inflict status parameter, I should expect to find a value of 40 (regen, with 20 being protect and so forth) to be at whatever the targetted byte address is, correct?  

Given I can toggle equipX functions in SCUS

QuoteEquip Knife - Katana + Ninja Blade
SCUS_942.21
0x4CAEC change 0x04 to 0x24

(or change 04 to 06 to enable katana + whatever is at the first byte-thingy) like so, it is reasonable to assume that I can do the same with regenerator, and with it, reactions like Caution, Dragon Spirit, Sunken State as well?  And if so, is it likely to be in SCUS?  Battle.bin is my second guess.

And, from there, is there a better method than carpet bombing a section (x4AXXX, e.g.) and replacing all the 40's (for regenerator) to different values (60 to inflict Protect + regen, or something) until the desired effect crops up?  I don't really mind this process, but it's a lot of trial and error and game crashing.  I'd just hate to be barking up a tree in the completely wrong forest.

Bugs and Suggestions / Patch submission
November 09, 2009, 10:45:19 am
Very similar to how sprites, utilities, and such are submitted and then added to the front page, why not do something similar to the patches we've made thus far?

Broken down into major hacks (large, intense projects) and minor hacks (lolswordskill patch, minor class change patches like Calc -> Red Mage, Chemist -> Alchemist, Mediator -> Enchanter, etcetcetc.)
