Help! / FFTactext Error
July 16, 2021, 04:37:45 pm
Hello all!  I am trying to edit the Skillset name and description in FFTactext but when I go to patch it to the ISO I get this error message.

I have the newest FFTactext program. 

Would anyone know why this error is coming up or a way to get around this to patch my ISO?

War of the Lions Hacking / Issue switching sprite in WotL
February 01, 2019, 09:08:01 am
I am doing a simple sprite switch of Arithmetician to Onion Knight but have run into an issue. 
I followed the sticky instructions and have be able to switch the battle sprite out with ShiShi easy enough but when I load the ISO in FFTPatcher and then extract the FFTPack.Bin the files all have 0-k next to them and it will not let me open the Unit.Bin in FFTEVGRP.

Am I missing a step or could my FFTPatcher be out of date?

Okay, will dive into that.  Oh Nyzer, thanks for the FFTA mod suggestion.  Should be a more enjoyable play with out Law.

Glad we could amuse you...*bows*   :lol:

I have used FFTacText for Job editing before but for whatever reason I can not find the file for the event dialog.  I do not see and event file in any of the options listed after I load the ISO and look under Text.  I have been through each file and searched but couldn't find the section.

Ahh, French dubbed... Nope, no luck with that.  My scene was the blob coming out the sink drain and pulling the guy into the pipe.  Good times!

Got me on the assumptions. :lol:  That scene is no worse than Clayton getting hanged in Disney Tarzan.  Just saying...
Well darn.... I was afraid of that.  I just thought I would ask and hope.... but was all for naught. 
Thanks again!

(PS. Not sure how old you are but would the movie be The Blob, The Strangeness, Boogens, or Without Warning?  I used to hate some of the scenes of The Blob but watched it again in high school and I could stop laughing.)

Xifanie- I am sorry your parents raised you like shit.  I wish you would not assume that I am doing the same.  I do spend time with my kids... hence why my 6 year old can read so well.  Books, board/table top games, archery, hiking, and video games are many ways we hang out. My older kids enjoy FFT and they like talking about it with me.  I just don't mind filtering it some (the main question I asked btw) to have it not be an issue for the little peeps to casually view.

Nyzer- I appreciate your concern but again I wish you would not try and assume too much.
   1.)  I did say I wanted to edit the cuss words but never said that was the only thing I was going to edit.  I can see why you might come to that conclusion but it is not the case.  There are other things I am looking into in the event modding but it seems like it might take a little while so in the mean time I thought a quick text mod would work till I get the other done and that is why I asked.
   2.)  He can read and does it well for his age but not to the point he can understand the whole story or scene.  More like he walks in and sees a word on the screen and then may or may not dwell on it.  Yes, he has heard those words but not often and I don't see the need to expose him to it to the point of normalcy (difference between hearing/knowing and having it on a constant basis). 
   3.)  The story is sad, hard, and gruesome but in some ways it is similar to most Disney movies (sure there no blood in Disney but the equivalences and lasting effects are similar...Lion King, Mulan, Treasure Planet,  etc... ).


Am I giving my 6 year old a controller and saying "play some FFT"... no, I am not.  I am just trying to filter something for my family dynamic and environment which is my own prerogative.
Does everyone write everything they are thinking of doing on a mod when they ask a question?  I don't think so.  Could I have started the question out differently... sure... but where is the fun in that? ;)

Oh, about your link to false equivalencies...

I see the merit in some of what has been pointed out but some of it is a stretch.  Death scenes are common in many games.  Story lines are messed up on even older classic games and by some of your examples I could over analyze things to the point of not letting them play anything.  So I feel like it is a bit ironic you are saying "expose your child to cussing" but also "don't expose your child to a 32 bit color scene where people die or a story that is gruesome and he doesn't even understand".

Haha, well my kid can read well at the age of six and does enjoy Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced and that is part of he curiosity towards this game.  Some of my kids who are older also play FFT and he sometimes walks in and reads along because he liked the first one.  I don't agree that just because he can read well for his age he should just be exposed to anything  (I wouldn't take my kid to a strip bar just because they puberty).  I know it has more a mature plot line and wasn't designed for young kids but I am asking if there is an easy was to mod the story text because I am not always there to filter for my little kids of what the older kids are doing and I don't really want limit a game I enjoy along with them because of this... so my thought was to mod a version so I wouldn't have to worry as much about it. 

(I knew my title would get some attention!)

There are a few small cases of cussing...  mostly damn and bastard... but still not something I would like my 6 year old to read and be repeating.

I am wanting to slightly change the text to exclude the foul language for my younger kids.  I have been reading through the older forums and am having a hard time figuring out what needs to be done exactly.  Also, I am hoping there is something that will allow me to do this easier than FFTacText. 

I humbly await your guidance.

Nevermind, I think I got it but I need to work the glitches out.  Thank you!

I was wondering if the "dead" character slot is the same on the PSP version as in the PSX?  For example changing the witch job and image to a new job and image.  I also didn't know if this would be prone to glitches as some of the other character mods on the PSP can be?

Thank you.

Okay, I wasn't sure if that would work in this situation or if it would need something different.  I will try it later.

It has been a while since I have done this.  I was wondering how to apply that patch.

Help! / Equip Change Mod
August 17, 2016, 01:47:46 pm
Hello FFHackers!

I am trying to change Equip Change to not count as an action or use the turn so it could be of some actual use.  Does anyone know how to do this?  I have searched and couldn't find it in the forum.  I have seen others think the same thing and why some wouldn't advise it but still nothing about how to do it.
