Instead of preventing Chemist & Throw Item / Mediator & Monster Talk / Ninja & Two Swords / Monk & Martial Arts, this hack prevents all inherent abilities from being equipped. So in vanilla it alters nothing, but it will adjust to whatever you do in FFTPatcher. If you're feeling silly, you can do things like giving Knights innate Equip Armor / Equip Sword / Equip Shield to prevent the player from equipping junk. It does not stack with the previous hack; you can't ban specific combos.

It also prevents equipping multiple copies of a single R/S/M ability, which again has no effect in vanilla, but is probably desirable if you're using a "merge Support/Movement" hack.

Hacks & Edits


Units with the specified support ability (value XX on byte WW) equipped are treated as having the specified job/skillset (job YY, skillset ZZ) for the duration of learn-on-hit checks. So if you specify byte 91, value 10, job 51, skillset 0c, units with Monster Talk equipped learn Time Magic (e.g. Haste 2 and Slow 2), not their current skillset. It should not interfere with the support ability's ordinary functioning.

A previous version of this hack functioned only for the Support slot, not for Reaction/Movement or innates. This version should be fine.

A quick fix to make all learn-on-hit checks succeed X% of the time instead of "Chance to learn" %. Obviously you could do this in FFTPatcher, but with this ASM you can manipulate that flag for crystallization/AI learning purposes instead.

Outstanding (for my own benefit, not ordered):

FFTorgASM XML is attached.

I have some vague ambitions about hacks for my own use, but I'm not sure how to do most of them yet. So in the meantime, I'm going to try to fill requests, since the last request thread seems dead - I know there is a lot of mundane stuff out there that can be done to augment FFTPatcher so might as well practice on that.

Requests will get filled in order of:
- personal interest
- applicability to ongoing project(s)
- utility-to-effort ratio

Just like every other request thread, lots of requests will never get filled, it doesn't mean you are unloved. I am pretty new to this so it may just be beyond me.

Stealing this.  Very nice.

You could have also had this go over one of the empty support skills around equip change but this is very nice, adds some to a normally weak support, and I'll have to test it out later

He did say you can map which slot it adds the effect to yourself, you know, which is honestly better than outright overwriting anything.

Yes, exactly. However, while it is equipped, you will lose the ability to learn your current primary (e.g. Summoner with TM Learning cannot learn Zodiac, just Slow/Haste 2).

If there's interest in doing it with something besides support it's doable; you could even make Learning a true passive, by checking whether the skill is known instead of equipped, although if you have more than one LoH skillset that makes a mess of things. I just did it this way to best match series tradition.

Let's give a concrete example to see if I understand.

If I have a Summoner with TM Support, which of the following is true?
A) The Summoner can only use Haste2/Slow2 if he had already learned it.
B) The Summoner can only use Haste2/Slow2 even if he hadn't already learned it.
C) The Summoner can use his summons but can learn Haste2/Slow2, not Lich/Salamander/Zodiac/Leviathan
D) The Summoner can use his summons but can learn Haste2/Slow2, on top of Lich/Salamander/Zodiac/Leviathan

Requests:

The ability to modify any/all of the self-statii reactions (dragon spirit, regen, sunken state, caution) to stuff like auto-protect, auto-shell. Preferably auto-XX, but I won't be too picky.  Suggest starting with sunken state?  It's most likely to go.

I am short on time tonight, but I'll go into more detail later and add variables. It's two bit-shifts and an addition, so XX is hard but I can get close to whatever you need. (The current formula to work with is per-tile penalty of P%, P = (2^X + 1)*2^Y; currently X = 2, Y= 1, I changed it to X = 2, Y = 2.) Can't directly test but seems to work fine (move+5 teleport always fails, etc.)

I should also point out this is a virtual support, not a real one, so I'm 99% sure it won't work as a job innate.

- set a Memory Read breakpoint at the unit's Move attribute (unit 2, so 0x19268c + 0x3a)
- F9'd through the action and took the address closest to the teleport (starting point to scan)
- set a Memory Write breakpoint at the unit's X attribute (unit 2, so 0x19268c + 0x47)
- wrote down the address this is written after the teleport (ending point to scan)
- bumbled incompetently for a while
- saw a call to the RNG at 0x176c78 [jal 0x0005e0cc]
- ran to cursor a few lines before this, saw the code I was looking for (basically I got lucky)

Good question! I'll look at it when I have more time, maybe the weekend. Custom formulas, preferably automating formula editing, is on the list for sure. I haven't been around long enough to know where to look for previous work - was it SentinelBlade who was working on a formula editor?

Should be doable, Float is basically Auto-Float + Move on Lava. Just enable Auto-Status and disable the usual reaction...
  • Modding version: PSX

RavenOfRazgriz

So if I wanted to make Teleport fail beyond range 100% of the time, just change X to 6, then get P% = (2^6+1)*2^1, or 64 * 2, or 128, and since P%> 100, the Teleport will fail beyond range?

The math seems more than easy enough to work with once you clarify what things to toggle about to adjust X/Y.  Being able to control it in general is good, people can go learn to do basic math if you can't get XX without rewriting the entire procedure.  Though, with a convoluted procedure like that, it'd probably save a lot of space to do so...

PickleGirlFanboy already found the BATTLE.bin offset for Sunken State.  It is at 0x123FA8.  Change the 5A to whatever effect you want.  To quote him from the thread I had started:

There may be more effects that correspond to the other Reactions, but this is all I can do for now.
As you can see, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.


Still not much luck in finding the Cheer-up formula, but Sunken State is ripe for the picking.

SB was indeed working on something, but IIRC he lost all his work in a crash or his computer got stolen or something.
I do remember seeing a thread with info that included some existing formula hacks.
Edit: it was FFMaster's thread.

Here's something that I found while reading the FF5 Algorithm FAQ that might be interesting to consider:

********************************
7.2) ABILITIES THAT MODIFY STATS
********************************

Note that none of these modifiers are applied if it ends up lowering a
character's stat (i.e. Knight with Equip Whip will retain his own Strength
value and not the Mediator's Strength).

WHITE
Magic Power = White Mage Magic Power - 2 * (6 - White Mage Job Level)

BLACK
Magic Power = Black Mage Magic Power - 3 * (6 - Black Mage Job Level)

SUMMON
Magic Power = Summoner Magic Power - 4 * (5 - Summoner Job Level)

DIMEN
Magic Power = Time Mage Magic Power - 2 * (6 - Time Mage Job Level)

BLUE
Magic Power = Blue Mage Magic Power

RED
Magic Power = Red Mage Magic Power - (3 - Red Mage Job Level)
If Red Mage Job Level = 4, Magic Power = Red Mage Magic Power

X-MAGIC
Magic Power = Red Mage Magic Power

MAGIC SWORD
Magic Power = Mystic Knight Magic Power - 2 * (7 - Mystic Knight Job Level)
Strength = Mystic Knight Strength - 2 * (7 - Mystic Knight Job Level)

EQUIP SWORD
Strength = Knight Strength

EQUIP SPEAR
Strength = Dragoon Strength

EQUIP KATANA
Strength = Samurai Strength

EQUIP AXE
Strength = Berserker Strength

EQUIP BOW
Strength = Hunter Strength
Agility = Hunter Agility

EQUIP WHIP
Strength = Mediator Strength
Agility = Mediator Agility

EQUIP HARP
Magic Power = Bard Magic Power
Agility = Bard Agility

BRAWL
Strength = Monk Strength

DBL GRIP
Strength = 37 (applied before Character bonuses)


Maybe you could do something to tack stat multiplier boosts to some of the more pathetic support abilities?

To be clear:
change Regenerator to Auto-Regen (or Auto-XX), the way Float is Auto-Float? and ditch the reaction?
change Regenerator to inflict Auto-XX for the remainder of the fight when triggered?
change Regenerator to inflict XX instead of Regen?

I think I found this in BATTLE.BIN.
0X125124.


IIRC, this changes every incidence of Brave gain for every formula that gains brave into MA gain.

Tigerspike

Yeah, that's what my tests indicated.  I tried Cheer Up, Praise, and Brave-Up.  All three changed to MA after swapping the 24 with 37.  I did not, however, test instances where the game alters your brave through your story responses (like rescuing Algus).

@philsov, the work may not be complete on sunken state, but there is a solid starting point for a more experienced hacker to tweak the ability.  Please don't dismiss PGF's work outright just because it was only tested with pre-existing reactions.  I'm sure a more experienced hacker can find the offsets that correspond with each of those values listed for the other reaction abilities.
Oh come now. That doesn't even make sense. How can flimsy paper possibly beat the raw density of stone?

Certainly, and I thank you for bringing this data to pokey.  I didn't mean any disrespect :)
