Title: How do I edit the World Map Instructions?
Post by: advfox on October 25, 2014, 12:36:31 am
Hi, everyone.

Recently, I've been working on a patch to play and enjoy for myself. I am now at the stage where I would like to add new events via the World Map Instructions spreadsheet, assuming that's even possible.

I would just like information on how exactly I should go about doing this. What would I need to change or add to the spreadsheet? I'm not exactly an expert, but I'm far from clueless in most situations.

Thank you for taking out the time to read my question.

These are all the world map instruction the game uses: http://ffhacktics.com/wiki/World_Map_Instructions

I apologize for the format, because it is meant for the newer spreadsheet, which hasn't been completed and which I haven't touched in 2 months.
Just reverse all the bytes and remove the spaces to use the old format, example:
[indent=2]new format: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH
old format: BBAADDCCFFEEHHGG[/indent]

You also can't just add something to the spreadsheet; you'll break the byte limit. You're going to have to remove something first... Basically you have to go through the conditions of other events and see what seems unnecessary; i.e. things that you can safely remove while making sure the player can't break the game.

Alright, after looking over and comparing everything for a long while, it all makes sense to me now.

Thank you for your help.
