Hack for controlled random battles

Hello all. I apologize if this is posted somewhere and I just failed at searching.

I've been stalking these forums over the past 5 years and been working on my own re-balance FFT hack throughout those 5 years. Every time I visit here I'm impressed with the crazy amounts of work and knowledge everyone has accumulated from FFT.

Throughout reading, I've occasionally come across mention of Xifanie's hack (not sure if its ASM or not) regarding 0% chance for random battles unless you set your destination as a random battle field, in which case it becomes 100%. I searched through the old ASM hack threads such as:
http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=953.0

as well as the wiki a bit, and when using the search on the forums, the only thread I was able to find regarding it was here:

http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=8658.msg189625#msg189625

Rather than messaging Xifanie directly, trying to adhere to to the forum rules of posting something that could benefit everyone, I figured I'd make a thread as I'm sure a number of people would be interested in this.

Can someone point me in the direction of where this might be documented? While Xifanie may have heavily contributed to the hack, would I be better of searching for things related to Eternal's work or even Elric's?

Just to clarify, I know Razele has posted a "No Random Encounters" ASM hack here:
http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=1785.0
however that is not what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this.

TLDR: Does anyone know where I can find information on the hack where you have 0% random battles unless you target a green dot, then its 100%?

Tangent: Thanks to Ashiel and Xifanie for posting about the fur shop in:

I was able to apply similar changes without issue. I also got rid of the slowness of "little money" and sped up all of those other text screens thanks to them motivating me to edit event information, which after figuring out my version of CDmage was wrong, was SO EASY.

Love what you're seeing? https://supportus.ffhacktics.com/ 💜 it's really appreciated

Anything is possible as long as it is within the hardware's limits. (ie. disc space, RAM, Video RAM, processor, etc.)

 :oops:
Smart Encounters were some of the keywords I was missing in my searching. Sorry about that. Thank you for replying!

Hey no problem... sorry for not making a better list of hacks...
I kinda wish someone did that for me. But around here, if you don't do it, no one will. So it just never happened.

But I'm pretty sure this hack is inside the newest FFTP package (thanks to Choto for the update and updating the hack list).
