Final Fantasy Hacktics

sorry i forgot to mention, im playing WOTL so UWentries wont work.

Okay i guess i only need one question answered as i think we're going in circles here.

If i use the dead Malak sprite in Shishi, is there a chance that i can replace it with a custom sprite that will have its OWN sprite in formation screen and pre battle without affecting the other Malak as i still want to have him in my party.

What i want..is a sprite that has its own portrait and battle formation sprite. And please do not mention Gaff, Alma, Simon, Orran, Valmafra and Ovelia as i already have them added but i want more unique characters. Now with that said, what you guys have been recommending about using dead malak sprite, teta, unused celia lede etc all involve modifying just shishi and EENTD which is fairly easy to do but the main question is, what about FFTEVGRP?? It is the most important tool at least for what i want as it is the one that can edit unit.bin and wildface.bin both necessary for formation screen and portrait.

will they have their own formation sprite? im just wondering how moving someone's sprite in shishi would affect fftevrp. Sorry im a little confused.

Thanks guys =)

What is dud? do you mean dead?

I want them to also have formation sprites. If i do the above instructions in conjunction with the tutorial by Celdia will it give me their unique sprites in the formation screen?

Aw that's sad.

Anyway, can you help me out here. im trying to add Isilud to my party but i do not want to overwrite Gaffy, Simon, Oran, Ovelia, Alma and Valmafra's sprites because i also have them in my party. I'm interested to know how to replace Malak's dead sprite with that of Isilud while still having Malak in my party. Please help as you are the only one here who seems to be on the same page with me.

Hi ,

Are you able confirm the usability of the undead units?

OMG i have the sane dilemma as you. This is exactly the issue that i'm having right now. I wiah someone would reply to this query as this will definitely help those who want to get the special NPCs without screwing the game so much. I really could care less about custom sprites as i think what square placed in FFT are beautifuly designed already. I was able to have Delita in my party by modifying his CH 1 sprite, but like you, i also want isilud in my party but im getting confused on how lioneditor and shishi would be able to link the sprites,battle sprites,formation screen and job class. FFTVe has som priest looking sprites than can be edited i guess but they are not in shishi and lioneditor.

Hello,

I'm finally able to resolve my problem. After researching on this site i was able to change chapter 1 delita sprite to that of ch 2 Delita and everything is working perfectly fine now. The problem is now that i'm hooked to this hacking thing, i now want other characters in my roster. =). I found out that it's easier to change the sprites of people who were intended to be in your party but not that of NPC.

BTW i used SilverRegret's guide.

Yes i think i know what thread you are referring to. When that thread was originally posted he was like a newbie and he was replying to himself. and then after a few replies his terms all of a sudden became so advance i could not follow. =) .

But i'm pretty sure it can be done based on that youtube video.

thank you.. this is a sad day for me.. =(

anyway maybe if you can analyze this youtube video you can shed me some light on the possibilities of hacking WOTL sprites:

This video is definitely a WOTL game.

Hi Toshiko,

I'm trying to extract the UNIT.BIN and WLDFACE.BIN files but these are the only folders that are showing up:

Thank you so much!!

One more thing though the tutorial link that you posted kind of assumes that i have done some preliminary steps. Would you know what Celdia was referring to regarding this:

"Here's the list of programs you'll need for importing new formation sprites: Shishi Sprite Editor, Graphics Gale, FFTEVGRP, CDMage
This tutorial will start by assuming you have already replaced the sprite in your  ISO with Shishi. If you haven't done that already,
do so.

Ready? Okay, good. You made sure to set the new sprite's SHP and SEQ to the proper Type for the new sprite, right? I'll wait."

Hi Toshiko,

I appreciate the reply. Yes you are correct about portrait and the battle sprite but the problem in general is the pre battle formation screen and the roster screen. If you try editing your saved game through lioneditor or even CWcheat for psp WOTL, the only thing that you can do is have a generic male/female soldier change his job to that of a holy knight. There are codes that are "SUPPOSED" to change their appearance to an NPC like Delita, but for some reasons, CH 1 Ramza is the one that appears on the formation screen although it works fine during the actual battle. The same procedure works for other characters like Gafgarion or even Ovelia but characters like Delita and the templar knights do not appear in the Roster screen. They either appear as Ramza CH 1 or look glitchy. As for your 2nd method, i don't really know how that works. What is ENTD?? I don't know how to patch as well =(

Please note that i'm not looking for an instant remedy here. I'm willing to learn but i just need to know the tutorials that i should be reading.

Also, Can WOTL be patched??
i downloaded a lot of tools here but i don't know how to use them

tutorial on how to put delita ch 2 in my party with all the correct sprite and battle formation screen.

Hi all,

I've been playing FFT for more than a decade and is quite happy to discover this site. Now i don't plan on doing some hardcore hacking ( event editing, changing movesets etc..)  or anything like that but i just want to have Ch 2 Delita in my party with all the proper formation sprite, pre battle sprite and portrait. I'm using Lion editor on my PSP and i have zero knowledge of how to do the patching and all that. Please tell me the tutorials that i need to check on ( in order ) so i can become more like the advance players here. I did use the search function to look for a similar topic but im getting a bunch of threads with lots of Jargons and as a newbie i dunno how to interpret all of them ( ASM, bins, Celdia's..). I just want to understand how do i go about correcting the sprites of some characters like Delita so they can properly appear on my formation screen. I know that we have alot of tutorials on board but i need to know which one of them would apply to what i need.

Again i have a PSP with a lion editor hooked up to it. I already played around with it so i already have things that i should not have ( Master teleportation, subdual arts, Sorceror commands etc..)

Thank you guys and more power to you all.
