So whenever you see something like 0x00025ad6 that's an offset. If you see something like h15, that is referring to a hex value. « Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM by Vanya » ¯\(°_0)/¯ Krakenskin Leather Works, my Etsy store. LordVanya, my art page.

If it isn't doing that then that's really strange. « Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM by Vanya » ¯\(°_0)/¯ Krakenskin Leather Works, my Etsy store. LordVanya, my art page.

Remember almost all the names and descriptions are duplicated at least once or more in multiple files. « Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM by Vanya » ¯\(°_0)/¯ Krakenskin Leather Works, my Etsy store.

	(No subject) « Reply #48 on: August 18, 2008, 01:11:58 AM » I am using the PSX version. I change every instance of Agrias to Beatrix but in-game it still says Agrias. I extracted every file according to FFTacText that has Unit Names, and text searched for Agrias and changed them all, but still getting Agrias. Help? « Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM by Kenshin72 »

	(No subject) « Reply #51 on: October 22, 2008, 08:03:04 PM » It doesn't come up directly. If a certain text has duplicates in multiple files it will display them on the bottom of the window. this is the only place where you'll ever see Battle.bin. The most reliable way to edit it and world.bin is via hex. That is for the time being. =) « Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM by Vanya » ¯\(°_0)/¯ Krakenskin Leather Works, my Etsy store.

I was going to try that, but then I noticed BATTLE.BIN didn't appear anywhere in FFTacText. « Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM by Lydyn »

I'm comfy with it anyway. =) « Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM by Vanya » ¯\(°_0)/¯ Krakenskin Leather Works, my Etsy store. LordVanya, my art page.

	(No subject) « Reply #56 on: October 20, 2009, 08:34:12 PM » can the effect of some reactions/supports/movements be modified with the hex editor? Or should I try and dive into ASM-world for those? Primarily concerned with tweaking -- like Br up now granting 7 brave, for example, or Regenerator triggering a different status effect. also, happy belated birthday topic! « Last Edit: January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM by philsov » Just another rebel plotting rebellion.
