Final Fantasy Hacktics

I'm really looking forward for this to enter a playable state. I've only recently gotten into emulation, but I own every US-based iteration of this game (and many others), so carry a firm nostalgia for the series. Every time I fire up your Lion War mod, I include a GameShark hack that allows random guest characters, bosses, and other enemy NPCs to become recruitable. Does it make sense that I have Algus with me in when Delita and Ramza face off against the church? Narratively? No, no it does not, but it is pretty hilarious visually.

I appreciate that you're drafting dialog and event scenes to play out that bridge the nonsensical gap that recruiting most of these characters would cause.

Semi-related, you mentioned a few years back you intend for this to be baked into TLW and TLWTL future updates--is that still the plan? And do you intend to expand the weapon selection with anything new to elevate all this custom work?

well, this is built on top of TLW 2.X, so it will have all its features, but recruits itself is a standalone mod, unlike TLW, which is a base mod for other mods to be built on top of, and thank you for the enthusiasm. I am still working on this, albiet quite slowly, but I don't have much to show since its just been setting up the rest of the joining units and testing shit and cursing at myself for forgetting how so many things work in my time away.

Quote from: Nyzer on April 07, 2025, 10:58:05 pmA couple years late, but the bug is in the EIUH. When modifying a World Stats unit in TLW, the skillset/equipment address pointer, and the offsets used to load and save that data, are not set up properly.

When TransformUnit is flagged to remove the World Stat unit's equipment/abilities, it zeroes out the HP and MP (all zeroes for removing abilities), and maxes out SP, PA, and MA (all 0xFF for empty equipment slots).

Applying EIUH 1.377.2 should fix that.

thanks for the info

Quote from: Mims44 on April 06, 2025, 03:39:01 pmFirst off, thanks for making it. Having a lot of fun with it. Haven't played FFT in a long time.

I have thus far been playing it 100% without help. Now at Belias/Velius, and thinking the mish-mash way of char development might not be good lol. I was unable to find any tips/tricks on the site for party make-up with the mod. Found cheats but I don't wanna go that route.

Also, do people do the rendezvous stuff before ch4? I was holding off as I read the prizes get better based on what chapter you are in when you start them. But thinking they may provide some extra oomph for Belias in CH3.


Thanks in advance for any/all help.

help on that fight would be no different than vanilla, we didnt change difficulty.

yes, you can easily do many of them before chapter 4, they arent a 1 and done thing.

Okay, so this is really fucking cool. Well done. The maps are really neat to see like that and honestly, I know it's probably not the end goal, but the fact that all you do is run around and kill Algus is fantastic! XD

Quote from: DanCo01 on February 28, 2025, 05:48:42 pmI was just wondering if you had seen the mod 'Souls of Destiny' because it made me think of your project of recruiting party members who are attunded to the Lucavi that maybe it would be a possible ability that they could transform into their zodiac brave form? Such as Weigraf into Velius

that's not possible in recruits for several different reasons

Thank you

Quote from: alamone on February 07, 2025, 08:43:10 amHi, I've been playing this mod on latest Duckstation, it's been working fine for the most part.  I have a minor bug where the help text window has a transparent diagonal line when in the shop.  Also, I can't seem to duplicate this reliably, but story battle at Dugeura Pass in Ch. 4 once loaded bugged with no floor textures.  It might have been an issue with Duckstation and save states though.

Help window:

This has been fixed, but I haven't updated the game in a long time. Been working through a non-google translated version of the 4th sound novel to add and haven't gotten around to finishing it yet, due to lack of testers for it. If/when I updated it again, that issue won't exist anymore.

The 2nd thing you mentioned is not a TLW issue, that's something wonky with your emulator, hence the randomness of it and you not being able to replicate it.

Neat! Can I ask how you made these?

 

^ What Nyzer said.

I made this tutorial when I was starting out, 14 years ago. I'm no longer a active member of this site (though i still check it weekly), and there are far far better tutorials and people vastly more knowledgeable about these things than I am.

This tutorial should probably be archived tbh.

I like this idea a lot. I have extremely severe ADHD and achievements always scratch an itch for me. If you come up with some good ones, you may even give me a reason to play through TLW as a player for the first time, now that the nightmares of running through the game 5 times a day for months on end, have finally faded.

Hope to see more on this.

thanks

You can get Ultima in the Rendezvous missions, with the appropriate units that would have the ability.

Quote from: aliguu on November 28, 2024, 05:28:20 amhi there
i used "Final Fantasy Tactics - The War of the Lions (USA) (PSN)" iso file (ULUS10297_1.00)     PLUS    the 2.031 ppf.
I patched the 2 files with ppf-o-matic.

however the new iso create can not be loaded by ppsspp- says file corrupted...

what am i doing wrong?

TLW and TLWotL are PS1 games that add the PSP content...

Quote from: TheRaGe1969 on September 09, 2024, 09:01:10 pmWell, i used CodeBreaker codes and they work fine, i added all weapons/items and although they are not part of this hack, i have weapons such as Excalibur and Masamune, they don't give the abilities they have in the OG game like Excalibur`s haste, but they are really strong, all my chars are using Earth Clothes so if i run it to those pesky turtles i just laugh at their earth attack (i didn't want to cheat but like i said, im not going to go fight all that stuff the "legit" way again, i spent 40 hours leveling everyone to 80+... so you see im kinda upset i wasted all that time for nothing.)

If you wasted time getting to level 80 in chapter 1, again thats on you, you can only be upset with yourself my friend.

Using items literally not available in chapter 1, means they are either vanilla in everything but name, or are simply not coded at all, so yeah, thats not gonna work quite as youd expect.

The amount of rearranging ASMs we had to do to get most working in Jot5 to begin with and knowing the huge amount of kanji space we use in the OG release, I doubt youll have much success, but smart encounters will indeed work fine.

Quote from: ampulegado on August 25, 2024, 11:44:04 amSo I've been playing lots of tabletop lately. I was wondering if we could have a new version of the summoner.
The summoner in old FF didn't really summon any creatures, they were just spellcasters with their spells having cool cutscenes. I was wondering if someone could make a modified version where the summoner actually has a bonded eidolon and the eidolon stays in battle for the entire fight.
You pick between an angel, demon, elemental or beast, and you actually have an extra unit with you in the initiative order, having its own abilities and leveling up as the summoner does.

I'm not sure how it would work gameplay wise since I don't have experience with modding. I was thinking between two possibilities.
 1. When you get a summoner you get an extra unit that you put in the unit selection screen
 2. You don't get an extra unit and the summoner needs to do a ritual in battle to call its bonded eidolon and fight along side you.

Hell you don't even need to have it animated, you can just recycle the eidolon's sprite and make it smaller to fit one square.
You don't have to remove or replace the old summoner, just having it as an extra alternate version would work.

Most no one here had experience in modding when joining. Thats why the forum and discord are for (assuming it is still active) TLW is a base mod for building your own mod. It's highly unlikely requests will be fullfilled.

Quote from: DarkVoidMage on August 10, 2024, 03:30:37 pmHello all ^^ I am currently watching ProJared's playthrough through this and it looks very awsome so far ^^. I wanted to ask though, if the Chapter 1 is "self-contained" or not (as in, does the chapter contain a full story, or does it contain cliffhanger(s) for the next chapters?). The reason i ask for this is, because as far as i have seen, progress on further chapters is currently on a hold for an unknown time. I completly understand that large projects like this take a lot of time and effort, and i dont want to stress anyone here, i just wanted to know, if i should play Chapter 1 if there is a potential risk of the story never finishing, or if the game is self-contained enough, that its not a big deal if the other Chapters come out/are played or not.

(I dont know if its better to ask this as a new question, or if i should have posted in the post about Chapter 2, sorry if it was the wrong decision ^^')

I don't want to spoil anything by answering the questions on how Ch1 ends.

I'd still like to finish the mod one day, but that's up to more than just me at this point.

Quote from: TheRaGe1969 on August 26, 2024, 01:48:43 amPoison is useless in the current fight i am now (that is if Rad even get the ability, because he gets random abilities every time i redo the fight), the morbols have regenerator, and that offsets the poison, so its not advised to hit them, but they are spamming bad breath giving me 3-5 status ailments, there is also an undead there, immune to poison... the only one that get affected by poison is the werewolf, but it doesn't matter, he still get close enough and kills everyone with just one hit...

And again... im level 80+, with crap equipment that gives me crap bonuses... the monsters at this point have tons of HP, in the fight im now its cool to hit a morbol with a long bow for like 40-60 damage, trying to inflict poison, only for the monster to activate regnerator, remove the poison and every round it heals for nearly 100 HP...

It also affects the random battles, i have to choose my fights, meaning that i have to restart the game if i see certain combination of monsters on the field because they have so much healing power its ridiculous...

Quote from: Nyzer on August 26, 2024, 02:15:13 amYou're not... meant to BE above level 80. Not even close. And since this mod is from 2013, it predates hacks like level capping per chapter.

This ^

You are literally in Chapter 1... I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I mean, what the hell man? lol

Quote from: Pyro-1234 on August 01, 2024, 01:46:43 amI loved the game, the difficulty in general it was nice, maybe the enemy teams spammed a little too much phoenix downs, and I have 2 questions, first, my game will not allow me to save ingame, it freezes in checking memory card with the message blinking, I am playing the game in a PCSx emulator, I managed to go on on save states, the second question, is it possible to add Link's character with the sprites and all as a whole character for a base game?

You posted in the wrong place. KoI is dead. You have an issue with your emulator.
