Hi,
FFTastics is a save editor for PSX.
After downloading the patch, you need to patch a clean ISO, using PPFomatics or a online tools (you can ask in the discord too)

Help! / Re: Weapon Guard/Parry: A question and a request.
September 13, 2023, 02:33:08 pm
Hi.
The two weapons evasion are used. The game set right hand evasion and left hand evasion. If a unit uses 2 weapons and weapon guard, the each weapon will have his evasion set in the hand holding the weapon.
After that each evasion data (Class, Right, Left and Accessory) is rolled separately against the attacker base hit%.
So, you "just" need a Hack to set 150% of W-Ev if the unit uses 2Hands.

PSX FFT Hacking / Archmage HACK
August 06, 2023, 02:25:54 pm
Hi everyone !
I'm happy to share with you my Archmage Hack. I had this in mind for a long, and i'm glad i finally found the time to do it.
This hack will turn the calculator in a Mage able to modifiy basic spells. Through his skillset, the unit will still have access to known Black magic, White Magic, Time Magic and Yin Yang magic spells.
What is change is the combo aspect. Now You'll have access to a list of abilities that will modify the spell you choose.
In the base version of the hack these abilities are :
-0x19E Vanilla : no changes
-0x19F Long : Range + 1 , MP cost +50%
-0x1A0 Wide : AoE + 1 Vertical +2 Power -25% MP cost + 25%
-0x1A1 Focused : AoE -1 Power +33% MP cost + 50%
-0x1A2 Fast : CT/2 Power -33%
-0x1A3 Friendly : CT*1.5 Allies Only
-0x1A4 Hostile : CT*1.5 Foes Only
-0x1A5 Radiant : Range = 0 AoE+1 Vertical + 2 Do not Hit caster if Target ennemies (Kind of samourai)
Note : - Power alteration changes Amount of Heal/Dmg and Hit%.
- Focus and Radiant are in Set 2 Only, Just for avoiding some bugs (Radiant in set 1 and Long in Set 2 will end with a non radiant spell)
- You'll need to edit the abilities names with FFTactText
If You have something else in mind with these abilities, i've made this hack keeping it modders friendly. You'll find here an Excel file, based on Xifanie HackTemplate.
In this file i had a "ARCHMAGE TABLE" sheet where you can edit any ability to add or remove wathever you want. Once you're done, save your change as xml and patch your ISO.
Remember that the main hack comes with my changes, so patch yours after the main hack.
EDIT 06 04 2024 : Updated Xml file

Help! / Re: ASM to allow additional non-katana skills in Draw Out skillset to function
January 03, 2023, 04:18:56 pm
Draw out skills are pretty well hardcoded. There is a strong relation between Katana ID and Ability ID and the number of abilities matches the number of katanas (this number is hard coded too).
It's checked several time in the code. So not a simple hack. I'm not sure this hack exists, if it does, i don't think it is released. Ask on discord. Celia had some interest in extending the number of katanas a couple months ago.
In THIS POST it seems that every ability added to draw out turns in a AoE 3 inflict regen result. That might be the reason the AI do not use it.

November 18, 2022, 03:57:37 pm
New Update !
- Break katana : now if you uncheck this box with regular draw out skills your katana won't break. Checking this box outside the regular draw out ability wont' break anything, and may lead to strange messages.
- Multi Hit : Any formula can access multi hit mechanics. You'll find two boxes in TOFU maker.
- X + 1 : Lead to X + 1 hits
- Rdm (1...X) : Rafa Malak mechanics (random number between 1 and ability X)
Multi Hit is not restricted to default and monster action menus anymore. Elements, draw out and maths are fully operational.
Weapon inventory avoid the multi hit section.
Jump and Aim abilities lack of ability X field.

Some updates.
All related to a new feature allowing to set a random flag only on the first argument of XA or YA build.
For example :
Rdm (1 to PA) + PA/2 resulting in an output of 0.5*PA to 1.5*PA

Not sure.
When you test your TLW ISO, you are not doing it from a savestate ? Because if you do it is the issue.

Well the PA ceiling seems a bit complicated. What if PA ceiling is reached but not MA ceiling ? PA misses but not MA boost. It'll add a check to every stat alteration. it is doable but not lightly. Not a priority but who knows ?
I planned to modify Faith and Brave alteration in a very close way of what you're thinking. But it was for my own purpose, adding a way to alter formulas output based on brave (like faith). For what you're asking, it's easy for faith, the brave instances seems more difficult to track, scattered around reaction routines... (i've little knowledge of those routines yet).

I don't understand what you're asking with the stats floor/ceiling. It's like in vanilla. I just merge everything in one formula. So i guess the response is no.
Faith and anti Faith are supported On both, on caster only or on target only (and cross faith too). Brave is not supported yet.
First I wish to release a sheet allowing to customize every formula flags. Then i'll add more.

TOFU - WEAPON BASE AND JUMP DATA EDITOR
This Excel sheet will allow you to customize every weapon type damage calculation.
TOFU uses 2 tables to manage weapon damage calculation :
- Base attack table
- Jump attack table
You can edit both.
To do so, go to the "TOFU Base XAYA builder" sheet and select the "Complement" Tab (just before the "Help" one by default)
1/ Edit the desired weapon data
- Create a new line :
- By adding a blank line and fill all the gaps (clic on add a blank line)
- By importing a pre-filed line with the Vanilla (TLW) data (clic on import base or import jump)
- Fill the gaps, if there is some red cells, you're doing something wrong
2/ Export the data to the "Code" sheet (button) and use Xif's tool as normal (generate XML or patch save state etc...)

XA and YA can support 4 "arguments" and do maths with them.
First you have to set the number of arguments
Example : Attacker PA is one argument, Attacker (PA+Speed)/2 is three))
Once the number is set,choose the maths formula
The MATHS column list will be adjusted to the nb of arguments and you'll have to choose in the list
For Example : Attacker (PA+Speed)/2 --> choose (A+B)/C
Then specify if XA is the value itself or a random number between 1 and this value (Axe flail etc...)

- For unit stat choose Attacker or Target in the list
- For Ability choose Ability
- For raw numbers :
- if the number is less than 16 : choose i<16 (i for immediate...)
- if not choose i>16. Then select a number in the list.

The One Formula (unbounded)
This hack is a Massive formula Hack. It merges all formulas in a single one. Each previous formula now are a table of flags, allowing to build XA&YA and to trigger various vanilla mechanics.
Some of these mechanics are not managed with the formula but with the abilities flag.
The main hack : TOFU suit is mandatory. you have to use it if you want to use any of the other tools
I tried to stick to the vanilla routines. The idea was to keep it compatible with some existing hacks but since i've not tested any hacks yet. Try or Ask first.
In very short : all formulas can support status, evasion, faith, elements, item breakage etc..
What does it changes if you patch your ISO and don't change anything ?
- Oil fix
- Weapon Element is added to Ability element if weapon strike or Weapon range flag are checked
Consequence : Weather effects apply to weapon element too
- Jump and Throw keep the weapon characteristics (elemental, status and ability proc could be applied)
- Weapon Element is added to Ability element if weapon strike or Weapon range flag are checked
Consequence : Weather effects apply to weapon element too
- Jump and Throw keep the weapon characteristics (elemental, status and ability proc could be applied)
What can you do with Patcher ? : All formulas take status, evasion, faith, elements, item breakage etc...
- New concept : Hostility. (At the start of the formula hostility will be set)
- Base hostility is determined by the AI flag "Target Ally" (friendly) or "Target enemy" (hostile)
- Hostility affect HP&MP effect, Stats (bonus or malus), CT (00 or quick), Lv modification (bonus or malus) - All formulas dealing damage or healing the target can affect HP and/or MP - If there is an element checked, it will be applied. - Item with formula 0x04 (magic gun) cast ability ID from inflict status field if not null (prevails on element) - Animation is bugged (usual spell casting ) if not using a gun...
- If status infliction is not null it will be taken into consideration - If Affect stat is checked : Ability will affect stats under conditions - If Unequip is checked the ability will try to destroy something - Reversion : Every ability could be reverted (undead reverse or element absorbtion) it will affect Damage, malus, status etc...
- Base hostility is determined by the AI flag "Target Ally" (friendly) or "Target enemy" (hostile)
- Hostility affect HP&MP effect, Stats (bonus or malus), CT (00 or quick), Lv modification (bonus or malus)
- If none or both are checked, if Target is a teammate action will be friendly, if Target is a foe, it will be hostile.
- A target will not attempt to evade a friendly spell, Support Defense will not applies on friendly spell (physical does ,like in vanilla (Formula 0x17 and 0x0e))
Note : this will allow formula consolidation (0x08 and 0x0c are identical)
- Elemental absorption and Undead reverse may reverse an action hostility
- A target will not attempt to evade a friendly spell, Support Defense will not applies on friendly spell (physical does ,like in vanilla (Formula 0x17 and 0x0e))
Note : this will allow formula consolidation (0x08 and 0x0c are identical)
- Elemental absorption and Undead reverse may reverse an action hostility
- if the AI flag affect HP is checked it will affect HP
- if the AI flag affect MP is checked it will affect MP
Note : If both are checked it will affect both with chakra mechanics (MP effect = HP effect/2)
If none are checked damage will be ignored
- if the AI flag affect MP is checked it will affect MP
Note : If both are checked it will affect both with chakra mechanics (MP effect = HP effect/2)
If none are checked damage will be ignored
Strenghten : it will boost by 120% the output of the formula (like vanilla)
Pure vanilla is 120% of XA only for XA*YA formula. Since it has been extended to all formula, there's more to say.
- 120%XA * YA --> 120% of output
- 120%XA + 120%YA --> 120% of output
- No XA and YA but something is dealt (ex Wish where output is 40% of caster HP) --> 120% of output
Cancels : Cancels the action
Resist :
- Formula with XA&YA : halves the result (hit% or damage)
- No XA&YA but formula deals Damage or heal : halves the result
- No XA&YA no damage dealt : halve hit% (accumulate resisted will ends with hit% at 50%, same with all 100% hit formulas)
Weak :
- Formula with XA&YA : doubles the result (hit% or damage)
- No XA&YA but formula deals Damage or heal : doubles the result
- No XA&YA no damage dealt : nothing (yet?)
Absorb
- Hostile spell are reversed (see reversion)
- Friendly spell : 100% hit chances, 100% proc chances, MP cost becomes MP recovery, and MP cost * 2 becomes HP recovery (If No MP were used, it's 12.5% of Max MP and HP)
Pure vanilla is 120% of XA only for XA*YA formula. Since it has been extended to all formula, there's more to say.

- Friendly spell : 100% hit chances, 100% proc chances, MP cost becomes MP recovery, and MP cost * 2 becomes HP recovery (If No MP were used, it's 12.5% of Max MP and HP)
- If status infliction is not null it will be taken into consideration
- If one of the AI flags "add status or cancel status" is checked it will be a 100% infliction chance and action will miss if not inflicted (vanilla way)
- If none of the previous flags are checked it will be a 19% chances of infliction independant of action success.
Note : in vanilla some formulas are 100% status with preserved action : they remains unchanged.
- If none of the previous flags are checked it will be a 19% chances of infliction independant of action success.
Note : in vanilla some formulas are 100% status with preserved action : they remains unchanged.
Some formula are meant to affect dedicated stats (all vanilla ones), but if you check affect stats flag while not using one of thoses, you will uses the "hardcoded stat alteration table".
This table exists because of song and dance abilities mechanics (one formula for many effect)
This table can not be used by any formula affecting CT, Lv, Morbol, or Golem (Because abilities using those effects already have their AI flag "affect stat" enabled while not affecting stats)
Last Nybble of Ability ID is used to choose the stat to affect
Amount of alteration if based on Mod(X,10) from decimal value (12 is +/-2 16 is +/-6). For Brave and faith alteration this value is multiplied by 4. If result is 0 default is 1 or 4 (Br and Fa))
Bonus or Malus is based on hostility and may be reversed (element, undead). Except for the talk skill faith manipulation where bonus/malus is hardcoded to the formula.

TOFU Maker is done !
While using TOFU Hack, you can use this tool to customize every formula of the game !
For now, only vanilla features are supported, but there is room to add more mechanics. (Throw some ideas !)
A little guide through Xif Excel Hack Template How does it works ? here are some explanations that you don't realy need to read to use it
I was "forced" to add a not-vanilla feature to support some peculiar formulas (phoenix down and self-destruct).
This feature is the Fork function.
Once TOFU Maker is downloaded you might encounter a red security alert in the excel file. If you want to get rid of it, you have to right click on the file (in windows folder).
Then check the Unblock Box at the bottom right of the details window.
After that, you will still have to validate one or two security alerts (yellow this time) to activate the macros.
Now you can use Xifanie's Hack Template. (she wrote a tutorial in the dedicated post on the forum if you need it)
First you have to reach the Code sheet (you should be here by default)
Then select the Add-Ins Tab. Click the last Icon (TOFU Maker) and let your creativity flow.
At the end you'll be able to patch a savestate, an ISO or generate a xml.

First you have to add some formulas to this collection by using the New Custom Formula button.You will be asked if you want to add a blank formula, a copy of a vanilla formula (imported) or a copy of one of your custom formula.
Then you can browse and edit every formula in your collection. Once editing something, don't forget to press the save button (or save as if you want to change the formula ID).
Then press the Patch button and choose which formula you want to patch/export.
Once you press patch you'll be thrown to the code sheet and frome there you can use Xif HackTemplate functionalities (patch ISO, Patch savestate, generate xml).

This feature is the Fork function.
Under certain conditions, the used formula will point to another formula.
By using the fork function you can access twice the number of vanilla formulas (up to formula 0xc8 = 200 formulas)
For example : If target is undead the phoenix down formula will point to a damage 100% of target HP instead of canceling death and restore a few HP.
For now there is very few fork condition. Status ID (on target or on caster) and Target ID (Target is or is not the caster).
I plan to add more conditions types (like used skillset, Gender (with this one, Human and monster could use the same ability but with a different formula))

Hacking/Patching Tools / Ability Overview
August 29, 2022, 03:36:59 pm
I post here an Excel file i made to help me to mod, track and test abilities,formulas, skillsets and Jobs.
It's just an overview, linking some usefull infos.
There's 2 versions filled with TLW data :
- The light version contains just data.
- The complete version comes with formulas and can be filled with different data. You can copy Other data using MassHexASM from SCUS (ability formulas, job, , skillsets) and BATTLE.BIN (effects). You can also change skillset and Job names if needed.
EDIT : Xif have done an amazing tool that far more this one is doing (but the list of formulas) :FFT Mod Helper v1.03
