I must say the patcher is amazing. I really like to use it.
Here a couple of ideas for improving the interface:

1 - Allows the abilities to be displayed by several criteria. i.e. only show 0C "Time Magic" skillset, or alphanumeric sort, ability type sort.

2 - Allows a comment field on entries. So if someone changes a ability's effect a lot, it can be easily recognizable.

3 - Instead of "Jump to" on item section, use a filter.

4 - Be able to filter ENTD, to not display story scenes. OR even better allow to choose at will between random battle, story battle, story scene.

5 - Split Poach section in two half length tabs to be displayed at the same time.

6 - Allow Item attributes and Status Effects to display which skill/item is linked to them.

7 - Create a quick jump button from a Item Attribute or a Status Effect from an ability or item to it's entry on the Item Attributes and Status Effect tabs and vice-versa.

8 - Instead of just displaying the name on abilities and item tabs, show the  number of the entry if applicable i.e. "19 - Ice 2".

9 - Allow to quickly clone a unit on the ETND, so similar units could be created at a faster rate.

10 - Integrate the A.I. findings, into quick setup buttons in the ETND tab. (http://auritech.fantopolis.com/viewtopic.php?t=512)

I seem to be having an issue with the FFTacText Editor on my new computer. The editor for some reason isn't able to patch the PSP version of the game, all I get is an Error saying "Error Patching File." The sprite editor and FFTPatcher work fine though.

Any ideas on how I could fix this?

I'm having trouble downloading the CD-tool.exe file from http://www.nobis-crew.org/cd-tool/

Is this link still valid?

[Xifanie]

Check on the site / Downloads. I decided to host it because of all complains that the site had a huge downtime.

I am dumb for taking so long.

New version:
FFTPatcher - v0.328
Changes since v0.271

• Added ability to convert a PSX fftpatch file to a PSP fftpatch file. (NOTE: The new PSP abilities for Balthier and Dark Knight are overwritten during this process)
• Added dialogs when patching a PSP or PSX image that let you select what parts you want to patch.
• Added ability to patch the SCEAP.DAT file on PSX ("Sony Computer Entertainment Presents...")
• Added ability to patch the ICON0.PNG file on PSP (This is the image that shows up when you load your game from memory stick)
• Added direct ISO patching for PSP and PSX. No need for CD-Tool anymore
• Added asterisks * to changed items in each screen
• Added "upper level" flag to ENTD units
• Added ability to edit the "Move-Find Items" and traps on maps
• Added ability to "Clone" and "Paste" certain objects
  • (ex. Right click "Cure 2" on the left side of Abilities and paste it on top of "Cure 3" and it will copy all the data from Cure 2 to Cure 3)
  • (There is a cosmetic bug with this feature, the destination for the paste will not have the correct "blue highlighting" for changes until you select another ability and come back)
• Changed the .fftpatch file format. You can still open old files, but once you save them again you can only open them with new versions of FFTPatcher.
• Added ability to open an already-patched PSX ISO
• The file ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll must be in the same directory as FFTPatcher.exe
• Removed:
  • Export font (Use Patch ISO instead)
  • Export ENTD (Use patch ISO instead)
  • Patch BATTLE.BIN (Use Patch ISO instead)
  • Open modified SCUS_942.21 (Use open modified ISO instead)
• FFTacText and ShishiSpriteEditor won't work with this version. If you want to use them, download an old version and copy it to another directory.
• I accidentally removed the "digest" output from the last version. It will be back.

Clone will make, making new randoms (for people who want to have monsters with equipment...) work much easier!

I knew it he's a f***ing genius.  The mad scientist of video games.

• Added "upper level" flag to ENTD units

[Austin]

You are awesome, thanks again.

[Dominic NY18]

Awesome!!

Many thanks for your continued work on this.

[SentinalBlade]

Yea he didnt even bother with FFT for 7 months till i bothered him in chat about it xD

Zozma said that the new patcher does not patch the BATTLE.BIN - or specifically the ability effects. I think I can confirm this since none of my Knight Skill effects have changed. I thought this was due to Battle Skill links, but I'm probably wrong.
