FFTEVGRP limited to 51 UNITS?

[FranktheTank]

Is there another FFTEVGRP with a complete list of every UNIT?

[FranktheTank]

Bump because this is a good question. How come the Larg and Goltana UNIT sprites aren't in the UNIT editor. There are several other sprites missing too. How come the UNIT editor only has 51 sprites?

because it only contains the frames of units you can have in your formation. Of course there are a few extras which you could replace if you want.

How could we use this to get custom characters to appear properly in Formation? For example, say you added Zalbag to your party. In formation, he has the proper portrait, but he has a Ramza sprite. Now, say I export a .bmp of Zalbag's sprite sheet, cut out the front left view, and stick it in slot 08 in unit.bin (the blue Simon-looking guy). How would I get Zalbag's sprite to point to slot 08 in unit.bin?

The WLDFACE editor has EVERY portrait but the UNIT editor only has 51.

Say I wanted to use both goltana and larg, adding them with hex, I wouldn't be able to change their formation sprite because the FFTEVGRP editor doesn't have the UNIT sprite for them.
My theory is that whoever wrote it (which is great btw) didn't finish it?

Hex code is one way, but you need the character code and job digit associated with that particular UNIT. In most cases those strange sprites are going to be "dead" sprites like Malak's "Hell Knight" job class which should be 30058074-0011 & 80058074-0011 if I'm not mistaken.

no they DID finish the program, the fact is that square only provided a sheet with those 51 slots.

this provided link shows that you DO have the ability to change the assigned unit.bin sprite of any job to use different ones.

example, if you look at my screenshot youll see that i changed Celia's unit.bin sprite which originally looked like a bugged ramza or a big blob, now looks like the dancer sprite

Thanks for the link, Zozma. Very helpful, especially when I didn't even see that topic before

[MagiusRerecros]

Also, quick question: are 0A (Simon) or 12 (Balmafula) ever actually used? I mean, sure they show up in cut-scenes, but they're never in formation/battle formation, so I don't really understand why they'd be in unit.bin...

[Zozma]

they were probably supposed to be guests at some point but no they are never used

[MagiusRerecros]

Awesome, thanks for the help, Zozma

I have a quick question though is it possible to replace one of these portraits more than once? I've already added in 2 custom characters and I was trying to find a portrait to replace that didn't have a job class of its own...

EDIT1: Also, what about the portraits and menus labeled with a ?, I can't find them in the patcher or shishi sprite editor.

EDIT2: By job class I mean skillset.
