Final Fantasy Hacktics

Did you end up making a non-charge check for archers?

Do they work on jump?

definately would like a non charge version as well

Ok, the Short Charge on the Charge Skillset just makes Charges resolve after the unit's turn. I was seeing archers let off charge +7's and stuff instantly. Not cool.

Hey FFM. I tried applying your Darkness % hack and it has literally no effect at all. I tried dickering around with the XX value, setting it to various things and testing it and it never changed the unit's hit % at all. I've triple checked my BATTLE.BIN against the hack and it all matches up. Could you help me out with this?

That's because his jump command was put in the A-EV calculation routine, but before where A-EV was loaded by the game.  Hence, his changes to A-EV are overwritten (by unmodified A-EV).  Furthermore, by putting his jump command in the normal evasion routine, the hack allows units with transparent or concentrate to get 100% over blind.

Actually, what it does it load the A-EV, and then adds XX to it. And it's working fine for me it seems. But yeah, you can overflow it if you set the number too high.

Going to look at Charge now.

I checked through the code, and 1 bit was wrong. What was happening was that all Charge abilities were having their CT halved, whether the caster had Short Charge or not. I've been testing it out and it works fine now. The problem is that even though the game says "Turn 08" or something, that is the CT without it being halved. You have to press the right arrow to check the proper AT location. I'm trying to fix that right now.

Ok, I've fixed Charge up. It should be displaying the right numbers everywhere now. I've tested it with 2 exact clone units(except one has SC, and the other doesn't), using Charge +5 on the same character. Unit with SC procced first, and the bug which causes Charge to hit automatically has been fixed.

Updated ASM hacks to comply with the new standard. The ones that don't comply are the ones labelled (NEEDS FIXING). The Sound Test hasn't been checked yet.

EDIT: If someone could test the darkness hack on pSX and tell me the results, that would be awesome.

Small random thing here

Damage Split returns 25% of damage instead of 50%

BATTLE.BIN
0x126358
change 42 to 82

Haha.  That's one I've been wanting for a long time.

I assume you can further change the output by changing 42 to other values, or are something like 100/50/25/12.5/6.25 the only acceptable set of values for it?

has to be 1/2^n, where n is a natural number. I could make it take any fraction I guess, but that would mean kanji space. May do it some other time though.

It's okay, I was just curious.

You shouldn't need other values, but it's always good to know what your design space is ahead of time.

Here is a bit of useless code. Monkey Grip v0.01. Right now, there is no actual use to gameplay. All this does is allow units with weapons flagged "Forced 2 Hands" to hold it in one hand. Offhand can't equip shields or any other weapons if they have 2 Swords. If a unit also has 2 Hands, 2 Hands takes priority(don't know if it still increases damage, but most likely not). This only works in the formation screen right now, but can be extended to unit select screen and in battle pretty easily. But first, trying to make it useful =p

For those who just want to see the code(This is currently tied to Monster Talk, units without Monster Talk will not be able to be badass and hold axes in 1 hand):

Monkey grip? Awesome!
Looking foward to see it completed

That's great! I have spent a lot of time on this and gotten nowhere, so good show.

The Disable Move hack. Units using abilities flagged Weapon Strike and not flagged Follow Target will not be able to move after acting. Found it while looking for some other stuff last night, it looks like it, but may not be. I haven't got time to check it due to 10000000 assessments.

Oh, this would allow us to make an archer skillset with charge and other stuff, without shitty bugs
Good find!

Indeed! That's one I've been wanting for ages. I hated those"shitty bugs" Dome mentioned. Thanks a lot. ^___^

May I request if it's not much trouble, a hack that removes the requriement of targeting dragons with Reis's moves in the PSP version?

Will the AI know well enough to move before targeting or will it cheat itself out of it's own move action?
