Generics joining as guests is too specific of a hack that won't see any practical use without the ability to have said guests in any battle. i.e. the way I originally developed the hack was a bit ugly; it meant to go by roster ID, and I never made a hack to allowed removing those units either. It was a hack I developed for a specific project, and without any extension, all you will be able to do is complain about how it just screws up the game on its own. There's a good reason for the removal of any of my hacks. Some were just not doing what they were meant to do, others were transformed into a more convenient spreadsheet form. I can't speak for others though, but I would guess the same.

Thanks for the clarification.

I don't understand your question

You have to know the "normal stats"to multiply it by 10X,the problem is how do you see the normal stats in the first place,since the base number is randomly generated before multiply the growth and multiplier of a job.If the normal stats is below 1000,fine,just uncheck the ??? flag,but what if the normal stats number is over 1000?

Um, not sure if I should resurrect this topic or not, but for the "multi-hit determined by random fire flag" patch, I think it suffers from the left hand weapon bug much like previous multi-hit patches as well.

This can be seen by having the additional attacks deal 0 damage when WP is involved in the formula and the left hand is empty, and dealing the appropriate damage when the left is suitably equipped. Weapons which are forced to be wielded with two hands deal 0 damage as well for the additional attacks.

EDIT: Upon remembering that Choto had a fix for weapon strike, I decided to try and patch that fix in, and lo and behold, it seems to be working fine. Still have to try and see if there's any other unwanted side effects or not.

Did you mean combining Choto's Weapon strike hack with DW's random fire hack,does that hack has the Load Delay issue?

By the way doesn't Choto had a multi hit hack of his own?Did the AI problem fixed?

IIRC ??? Stats is 10x the normal stats the unit would have

How to acquire the normal stats for ??? flagged unit?

All 3 of those threads work fine for me... I rearranged Xifs hack thread a few years back to make it more easy to look at. As well as to include more hacks she didnt have listed there.

Prides just has a link to a more organized version of his thread.

As for Chotos youd have to ask him

Im not seeing what you are getting at here..

EDIT: Also, with a bit of research it would be known that many older hacks suffered from load delay issues, causing them to not work on actual hardware or most emulators, so many had to be remade and some people may have chosen to simply remove their offending hacks in those cases

Thanks,so its the load delay issue.

As for Xifanie,some of the old hacks are missing too,like generic could join as guest hack

IIRC it would just hit all the targets within the area, but since these effects were not coded for AoE, it will only display the effect on one target, and only display damage for that one, while still affecting all the targets in the AoE.

Thanks

What are you even talking about? Maybe give some context or examples if you want a actual serious answer...

Sorry for not posting the detail,i thought it was a common phenomenon

For example Xifanie,Choto,Pride's hack thread from the sticky in the PSX FFT Hacking section

No, it's not part of the Truth/Un-truth formula, you need the flag for those abilities and any other that you wish to apply the behaviour to, force a randomly selected tile to be the target of the ability.

What would happen if Truth/Untruth without Random Fire flagged?

I've browsing through alot of sticky lately and find alot of old hacks are removed via editing by OP.Some of the old hack that are not removed was considered obsolete aswell.

How is this a thing?FFT is the same game,its not like the game itself received an update or something,how is hack became obsolete?

I found alot of old hack has some function that i need,is it possible to still use them?And is there anyway to find those old hacks that are removed by OP?

In FFTpatcher Ability Section there is a flag at bottom section named "Random Fire",what does this flag do?

I've check and saw Hydra Triple Attack and Truth/Unthruth use this flag,but does that random hit property already included from the formula itself?Whats the point of this flag?

A .psv file is a pSX emulator savestate. You won't be able to use that to patch your ISO.

You can just get his editor/spreadsheet here instead:

Did the AI problem from his hack fixed?

Hey Choto,where are all your hacks gone?And is the AI problem from Multi Hit Hack fixed?

If a unit with a ??? flag,how to see the exact number aside from using Demi(or Drain) to estimate the value,since the 999 damage cap,1/4 damage won't work on unit has more than 4000 (for instance 20000)HP.

Like Mimic is only useable by Mime and not equipable by any other class.Is it possible to make math skill only work with calculator and not equipable by any class?

It means the hack was poorly coded and is unlikely to work for the following:
- PSX console and eboot: Almost guaranteed to freeze the game
- More accurate emulators such as Mednafen + Beetle PSX, PCSX-R: Almost guaranteed to freeze as well
- Less accurate emulators such as pSX: Might still work
- Fairly inaccurate emulators such as ePSXe older than v2.0: The hack could have very well been designed with this emulator and makes it very unlikely to work with any other emulator.

Thanks

Hi i'm new here

In FFTorgASM,there is some code with load delay warning,what exactly does load delay do?Any examples?
