Stat Up/Down Maximum ASM?

[Timbo]

I'm not finding it in the ASM threads or with the search function. Did I dream this up?

I made something like that... might be in my ASM thread, dunno. Not even sure if it actually works as intended
I made it for Arena but FFMaster didn't want it.

I wasn't finding the ASM because it wasn't included in the first post of your ASM thread. There is a problem though. It causes some visual glitches.

Alright so I'm using the "Stat gain/break cap + Maintenance prevents stat break" hack right now and so far it's working really great, but it looks like it causes a glitch where if you check a person's status in battle, their weapon evade on their left hand will say some off the wall number like 99% usually. Don't know what causes it beyond it seeming to happen after a few turns of fighting. I'm fairly certain that it doesn't affect anything beyond the number being off on the status screen so it isn't a big deal at all, but I figured I'd put it up here. Can someone else verify this happening?

As far as adding stuff, I wanted to see if it were possible to make it so that maintenance can block the magic break ability too, and/or make it so that the game gives you a 0% chance of landing stat increases/decreases when the cap is reached or when someone has maintenance on since it still looks like they work though they actually don't. I imagine the last one was a pain in the ass to get working so that's why it wasn't done in the first place.

Did you ever get around this?

[Xifanie]

nope

Thank you for your quick reply.

Jack do you have that hack? I'll probably fix the bugs because I want to use it in my patch too =)

Stat gain/break cap + Maintenance prevents stat break
WW/XX = Lower Limit which the stat can be reduced.
YY/ZZ = Upper Limit which the stat can be raised.
For example, a lower limit of 1/3 and a upper limit of 1/4 for someone with 18PA, would be:
lower cap: 18PA - (18PA * 1/3) = 12PA
upper cap: 18PA + (18PA * 1/4) = 22PA
This hack takes full consideration of equipment.
