If you check several story battles or story events, you can see generic humans/monsters with their unique name, like Rad, Lavian, Alicia, that Archaic Demon in the battle protecting Dragon Reis and so on. The field should be obvious then.

Well, you're wrong if you think we'll hold your hand all the time. We have our lives too, and you should really learn to figure things out yourself instead of creating a topic about every little thing. If anything, you were really lucky I saw your posts so soon after you posted as I am a pretty busy person. It would be nice if you could share the burden. We love helping people who help themselves.

Yes...

Maybe you should stop second guessing yourself so much?

Have you ever looked at the tabs? This shouldn't exactly be hard to figure out on your own...

They're essential. For example, item names are used in different files and different sections whether you're on the formation screen, or on the squad screen, or the battle rewards screen and so on. So they should be identical.

Also, we don't know which version you're modding; you might want to specify that on your profile.

And the Exp and JP gain use formulas, not static values.

See, that doesn't make any sense because the palette and the first 256x256 of a sprite are not compressed. Only rows 257 to 488 are.

You can't just change the Ramza sprite in a non story mod. Most EVTCHR rely on the sprite and it will look wonky as hell in most cutscenes

Don't know what you're talking about, I'm looking at this page and only see ~230 Ramza frames in there:

This is super easy for someone extremely dedicated, with artistic talent and lots of time to spare!

call me when ff14 doesnt have a sub fee

I know how you feel Bonesy, we haven't played in over 2 years because it's so goddamn expensive. They don't even offer reasonable price for Canadians like Steam does (nearly always 110% USD price), instead they charge exchange rate prices (124% + 4% conversion), and it used to be more like 132% + 4% two years ago. We had only been playing for 3 months and they were asking us to buy Heavensward at 40 bucks each, so $80 USD, on top of the $15 for each of us every month... it just got way too expensive. Not having bought Heavensward, we lost all our friends because no one had interest in non-expansion stuff... so we lost our reason to play.

Basically, you have to reverse every half-word because I never really made a proper tool for this stuff. The spreadsheets I made "work", but they're still a pain in the ass to use... I've just never found the time/energy to complete a better tool for the small amount of people who do make story mods.

You're probably better off going with Raven's workbooks instead of mine. Like, I think mine doesn't calculate the space used or something.
Just know that you're going to have to make space somewhere if you want to add more conditions. There are several redundant conditions, for example story progress = X and Y is in your party, even though they're a guest and it's not possible for them to not be in your party at that point.

This is a lot to learn, so I would suggest that you slow down a bit unless you want to burn out lol.

What I'm less clear on is how to remove the existing Beowulf/Reis triggers (that is, what starts them being processed) and replace them with what I want.
I spent most of the day trying to find some thread about it or some variable on the wiki, but I didn't turn up anything that gave me the last piece of the puzzle.

0x00A7 - 0x00A8 - 0x00A9 - 0x00AC
Unless that's not what you're asking
So you should be able to easily find the conditionals tied to those, say by searching for "0100A7000100".
