What version you got?

[Lydyn]

Change Skillset names? Yeah ... what I did is went through all (except the ones with tons of different sections, like section 1, section 2, etc.) the options and went to all the Skillset names and changed all of them ... in not only ensures it actually changes, but also changes in and outside of battle.

[Kenshin72]

You got the PSX version right Lydyn?

[Lydyn]

... *Blink* ... I didn't know there were two different.. or three different versions. I got FFTacText and it'll edit both PSX and PSP, I just don't have the PSP ISO/Disk.

[Kenshin72]

Just checking, it may work on one better then the other because I keep getting damn errors on PSP version. DAMN YOU FFT!!!!!!!!!!

[alexy1983]

Yeah, mine was PSX version. Thanks Lydyn, i'll try to change all except the one with many sections.

doesnt changing the world.bin still screw up the games text?

also just so you know each skillset, and each skill has 5 different places you have to rename it if you wan't to be complete. Job names there are 10 if im not mistaken....

[trickstardude7]

yeah i really think that the text editor shouldnt be used until melonhead finishes a new version, but if you don't mind only seeing IN BATTLE changes then only edit battle.bin because world bin is very messed up, well thats just my opinion because you spend massive ammounts of time on editing things and then to find its all messed up is just depressing (trust me >_< )

[LastingDawn]

Ah, but in those respects one could make a full different boss character, since it is just inbattle changes.

This info about having to change it multiple times really helped me. Now I'm changing text no problem.

I'm having trouble locating all the Job Names and SKillset descriptions. Is there a list of where they are all located?

[Zozma]

hmmm i know these....

attack.out
atchelp(or something??)_
sample.(???)
world.lzw
world.bin(but dont mess with this right now)

[Kenshin72]

I'm on my PS3 right otherwise I would list the ones I've found.
The PSP doesnt have some of those

[Vanya]

Just for clarity... World.bin can't be correctly edited yet IIRC, but it also seems that Battle.bin also glitches.

[Lydyn]

Well, techincally, all of them have the capablities of glitching and often ... it's just that the WORLD.BIN is the worst by far.

[Vanya]

Hmmm...

Only Battle.bin and World.bin have given me any problems so far. I'm strictly staying within the character limit, though.

[Lydyn]

Yeah, that helps. BATTLE.BIN hasn't given me any problems though, only WORLD.BIN.

*necromancy*

I recently downloaded the text editor.  Just doing some pre-lim poking around right now, seeing what description goes where.  

I edited the job class description of squire from "basic unit blahblahblah" to "ABCDE unit blahblahblah" from the ATCHELP directory.  No other changes were made.  Upon patching I also noted the similar glitch of abilities being offset by one.  Meanwhile, the job descriptions on the character wheel were offset by 4, with the last 4 (mime, samurai, ninja, something else) all having the basic squire description.  

I know this is kind of an old topic, but have we made any headway into finding a way to fix this?

[AuraDragon]

Lemonhead is working on it, hopefully the new Tactext should be available soon.

[philsov]

good to know.  Heck, I've even "patched" from the text editor with NOTHING changed and it still shifted the job wheel around.

Wish I could help :3
