Why do I see these two tabs that say "Remove Topic" and "Lock Topic" in the lower left hand corner, above the Quick Reply dialog?  Only mods and admins should be free to lock and delete topics and posts; we don't want people causing trouble and then deleting their posts so they can get away with it, do we?

I'm having serious problems dumping ability data.  I need to know exactly where it starts, where it ends, and how many bytes there are per entry.  Somehow I'm screwing up my math, and I can't get anything right.

Nevermind, I figured it out.

This is what I started with

Code Select Expand

0x55187c : start
0x1c     : length of single entry (28 dec)
0x15a    : number of entries (includes 0x00, which is a blank entry) (346 dec)
0x25d8   : total length of entries (9688 dec)
0x553e54 : end
The problem is the 0x1c.  FYI, the standard operating procedure is to consider 0x00 the first offset.  So when you said 0x1c I assumed 29 entries, when in reality it was 28.

It makes more sense if you look at it like this.

Code Select Expand

What I thought it was:
1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c

What it really was:
1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b
In the future, use decimal to tell how many bytes there are per entry - or just demonstrate with something like above.

I'm sorry. That was a typo I think. >_<

And I think you need to upload the images to some third party site, like tiny pic.

Amazing work here man. I'll have a better look tomorrow!! I'm having some people over tonight. Et knows what that probably means.

Probably the most appropriate. ^_^ Thanks.

Sorry, forgot to post. Yeah, everything I've posted is what I have. Right now I'm working on finding routines rather than data... so yeah. I can send you what I've decompiled about the ROM, but I don't think it will make much sense.

Also the girl in your picture is a babe. More pictures please?

That's all the info I have, I think. I will have a look through my notes, though. Thanks!!

I hope we're all still enthused?

Good work. I'm still watching this.

Nothing on jobs yet, but I will add what I have (tomorrow, or the weekend) and then let you know here.

Looks good man!

Pheonix Wing seems a tad over powered, tbh.

Also,

Abyss (replaces Sleep) - Ap: 300 (100), Area: 01 (02), Add: Blind + Silence
Sleep - Ap: 250 (200)

Confusion. :\

The majority of it looks really good, but there are some things I disagree on. Eg: Illusionist's should be nerfed to hell, rather than getting a power boost. Or accuracy should go way down.

I'll add more to this later.

Those skills would all be fairly easy to implement. Using animations already in the game with a changed palette should be simple. ^_^

Keep up the good work dude.

Sure. I actually recently found the character creation routine so that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Agreed!

I think that's a wonderful idea. And yes, it's very possible.

But I also think Moogles need a huge stat boost.

I have an essay due tomorrow, then 2.5 weeks off. I will take a look then. ^_^

Best of luck to you, kind sir.

Wonderful! Much better. I will have a closer look at it when my break from university starts (in 2 days.)

Honestly, the more detailed you make it, the easier it will be to implement.

It seems to be missing a lot? Like base stats. All you have is the growth. Plus, I don't know what's edited. I suggest you make a key for what colours mean and apply it to the whole sheet.

Sorry if you think I'm mean. >_<

Just upload it to mediafire and post the link here?
