Persistent Performances!
Have you always looked at your bard or dancer and wanted them to get a bit more... involved?
To get them out of that damn corner?
Well Want no Longer! This hack grants your performing units the means to participate in combat!
Any actions your bard or dancer takes that do not have a charge time will no longer stop their performance!
This includes:

  • attacking,
  • stealing,
  • drawing spirits from the blade,
  • conjuring elemental feng shui,
 
But does not include:
  • jumping,
  • defending,
  • or anything else with a charge time like cure 3.
And many more!
Simply apply the patch to your vanilla ISO, and enjoy the freedom!
if you happen to be an ASM hacker that utilises kanji space, the marked kanji space should be free to move at your leisure, though do be warned, I do use about 24 bytes of space to store temporary data (0x801502e4) and this will need to be moved if that space is occupied.

Hopefully I bug tested this enough and it works without a hitch.
Base version.
Includes magic gun compatability
Now has proper toggleable compatability with TLW ReMixed, considers non-charge, and multi-hit attacks.
Now has proper toggleable compatability with TLW ReMixed, considers non-charge, and multi-hit attacks. Also fixes for hard-code range abilities.
fixes some additional bugs related to math.
Another update! Prior versions included for archival purposes. also I skipped a few, whoops!
v1.07.1 fixes a buncha issues, none I can remember off the top of my head. Point being, it's the most stable version now.
You may want to update the text for the performing act error, since it doesn't make a lot of sense given the new context.

This is badass!
The idea never even went through my head and its such a game changer.
A must have for hacks that keep Performance mostly Vanilla IMO

Forum Bump
Another update that should make it less prone to crashing, or otherwise bugging out. included in the original post, but also here for convenience.
