Selecting guests for random battles

[reyhan37]

I adjusted all enemies in the event battles to scale with the player's party level. Then I realized a player who grinds could end up with some really wimpy guest characters.

Is there a way to select your guests during random battles? I would have liked to use Delita more during Chapter 1 so he can hold his own at Fort Zeakden.

There is. Jot5 does it, with some ASM hacking. (Meaning that if you want this for the PSP, you're out of luck.)

i remember there was another way that didnt require ASM but im not sure how to do it. it sets guests to appear in battle instead of having them join you temporary meaning you could set them as party level in ENTD and they will pop up in the main battles wearing the equipment , jobs and level you gave them.

sadly i dont know how to do it i think it had something to do with the save/load formation flags

I don't think that that's actually a good idea. Random battles from all 4 chapter will always appear once they are unlocked through story progression, so if you set Delita to appear in the mandalia plains random battles for chapter 1, the game will try to load his information even in chapters 2/3/4. The game creates a really glitchy unit in battles where you have a 'load formation' flag checked with a unit ID that does not exist.

Whelp, I forgot I never released the hack. So I spent a few hours to improve it, and the spreadsheet as well.
