Locking Classes

[Argy]

 Hi All,

Just a quick question, is there a way to have all the jobs unlocked but not be able to change jobs.  Essentially, they are locked to their initial job?

Thanks for your help,
Cheers Argy

As in, you would pick a job for a character when they join up / are bought at the office, but can't change after?

This hack would fit perfectly for my patch; if memory serves, I had an undead knight that I ultimately was forced to scrap because simply changing his job from his base class to a generic class would remove his dark-magic induced condition.  I'd presume Argy is similarly motivated.
In any case, this hack is on my list after I finish the formula hack.

Probably would be a very easy hack, I have notes on the job change routine

I just wanted it as I am working on a FFXII IZJS hack and thought it would be a good idea. Ideally I would then have Ramza with a skillset that had invite as to 'collect' the other classes. Thank you all for your help!

Oh cool that is big deal to make FFXII, I can say keep up and good luck ! Argy

Okay here's a quick one tell me if this is what you want. Save the code below as a .xml into the same folder with FFTorgASM and apply through FFTorgASM.

Pride could you post your notes on the routine? I'd like to take a look at that one. Had some ideas i want to look into.

[Choto]

Awesome, thanks dude!

Edit: I don't have time to look at this cause of school :/ But when I do get time I'd like to look into letting special characters be able to switch to all jobs..

Hehe we could divide the job tree into exclusive sections now... a set of 8 human jobs, 4 skeleton jobs, 4 goblin jobs or w/e or make a race system..

[Argy]

Hiya,

Sorry for the late reply... thanks heaps for this... you are a star!

Cheers Argy

Oh my... A late reply indeed. Let me know if that is what you wanted.
