Final Fantasy Hacktics

I had a reward on my Twitch channel for those who gathered enough points from watching me to be able to request a map for me to make. Today, however, I am scrapping that idea because I want to assist in creating unique scenarios for people's mods (mostly so I can play them!) and also create something brand new to expand what is possible with Final Fantasy Tactics Modding.

RULES:

• I have the right to not choose your request. My time is limited and motivation even less so at times.
• I might not finish your request. If I'm not enjoying the process it makes it hard to work on, let alone finish. I'll provide what I finished to you if I choose to quit working on it.
• The requested map must be able to be completed on stream. That time is basically the only time I have to work on these. Sorry if you wanted it to stay a secret!
• Reference is required. You can message me on Discord or post it here, doesn't matter to me!
• Don't expect it to be done by a certain date. I take a break from creating maps when I find something more interesting to do, so I might stop for a bit here and there or even switch to another request! Please do not pester or bother me to finish it faster or get an ETA. Basically don't make me regret doing this.
• While I accept constructive criticism and feedback, this isn't client work and if it's not exactly what you wanted I reserve the right to be done with something I feel I completed. GDX is free to use and I will provide you all the files for the map, so if you want something a bit different than what I come up with, you are free to do it yourself!
• I'll do my best to have the map work flawlessly in game during its creation, but will not hand hold you in getting it working on your mod. Join the discord and ask question if you need help!
• These rules can be updated and changed at anytime without notice! 

So there you have it! Request away!

Hey all!

I started a project about half a year ago to make a custom map for each Unexplored Land that can be found via propositions in FFT.

I present to you the first custom map: Phantom Train



Files are attached below, you will need to use JuraviS to import the map which can be found: HERE

Objective:
I wanted to create a mod where the Random Number Generation was shifted from Accuracy to Damage and so Final Fantasy Tactics: Keen Sight was born.
I will be modifying the game to change every aspect based around the design that all moves will never miss. The one exception is that I will not be making the statuses procs 100% on moves that do damage and apply status effects (example: Sword Skills)
In addition, I will be modifying formations and using my Alternate Map pack instead of Vanilla maps. This is to create specific formations around the RNG design change

Progress:
Still in testing, but all moves should now have a 100% hit ratio and I've modified formations of battles through the Algus Battle at the end of Chapter 1. Please let me know if you see a move without 100% accuracy!

Warning:
I know this is currently dumb and unbalanced! Definitely much to be done!


Please provide me any feedback or ideas as you wish! As always, I'm open to constructive criticism!

We finally figured this out in the discord (thanks to both Garmichael and Glain!)

Instructions:

• Extract the files in the MAP folder from a FFT ISO using CDMage or another program
• Extract the attached Executable to the same place you extracted the MAP files
• Open Command prompt
• Change directory to that file location
• type in the following (replace the NNN with the map number you want to export): fft_map_to_obj MAPNNN
• A number of files will generate in the file path
• The .obj files should be able to be imported into any modern 3D Software package

You can watch the process here: Twitch Highlight

Objective:
To replace the standard battle maps with alternate battle maps for every story mission in Vanilla FFT. This will be designed to be as plug and play as possible. My aim is to require no additional hacking beyond replacing the map files on an ISO

Uses:
Once completed anyone should be able to add these alternate battle maps to any hack they are creating. I am designing it to, like custom sprites, allow non-map makers to add new and exciting maps to their hacks.

The first pass of these is strictly to get them working correctly in game. I'll be revisiting them all to make texture adjustments and adjustments per feedback from play testing!
Progress:

I am streaming my work every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9pm CST on twitch: Channel Page

If you have any ideas as to an alternate version of a map or questions about the process, I am more than happy to hear them! Speak your thoughts/ideas/questions on the Map-Editing channel on the FFH discord or drop a comment below!

Attached is both the PPF and the individual map files if you'd like to add these maps to an existing hack! The .ppf includes a special event created by Jumza. To see it visit the Thieves Fort during Chapter 2 or Chapter 3.

I have added a .zip file that contains a mod that can be used with JuraviS to add the maps to any existing hack. Please see this tutorial for how to do this. Thanks Xifanie for making such a wonderful tool!

Thanks to Jumza, Added a .ppf that can be patched over the top of other modded ISOs!

Updates:
Added 2nd Pass versions of Zirekile Falls, Lenalia Plataeu, Bariaus Hill, and Bariaus Valley

Greetings,

Is there a list of what Ganesha situations are used for each battle map in FFT somewhere?

Per the Ganesha instructions a situation is a combination of an "arrangement" (different configurations of polygons and terrain), a weather condition (sunny, cloudy, very cloudy), and a time of day.

If not, if I made a list of the specific ones would there a place I could add that to the forum?

Greetings,

I just started looking into Custom Maps for FFT and I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to edit maps outside of Ganesha.

I'm a freelance 3D artist and use Maya in my work. Was looking for a way to possibly import a map into Maya if possible!

Thanks in advance!
