Location list to edit Move-Find Items

[Armorvil]

Thanks to Zodiac in the MAPS topic :

Move find items are in BATTLE.BIN
Offset: 0x8EE74

...and thanks to Gomtuu's intervention :

Code Select Expand

008f3c4: 0010 01f0 4410 13f1 4c10 33f6 8610 3bf7  ....D...L.3...;.
         ABCC DDEE ABCC DDEE ABCC DDEE ABCC DDEE
Looks like A and B are coordinates and D and E are the common and rare item... Is C the type of trap?

...I went and created a list of offset for each battle map - so one can edit the Move-Find items in these more easily. Here is the list :

There is quite a number of unused space in there. My guess is that the maps in which no battles occur in a normal game are also listed. If you would turn, for example, Besrodio's room into a battlefield, chances are you could add Move-Find items there (that is, if you can find out which bytes point to that particular map, of course )

Incredible! Excellent work, this is a wonderful addition to our knowledge!

[Armorvil]

Thanks, LD !

I hope this helps anyone who wants to edit the Move-Find items (turning the common item into the rare item would be a good move in my book, for instance).

[Austin]

Nice, I imagine this took a while. Hopefully we're one step closer to actually being able to edit these.

[Armorvil]

Ha, you already can, with a hex editor
Sorry, I should have given this explanation earlier.

Each map is comprised of 16 bytes. These 16 bytes are divided in 4 bytes, for all 4 Move-Find items.
The first of those 4 bytes, is the item's X and Y coordinates. According to Zodiac, the second one indeed is the type of trap. What you want to change though, are the third and fourth bytes. They are the rare and the common items respectively. After those 4 bytes, the next 12 bytes are a repeat of that same pattern for that same map's three other Move-Find items.

Use the list of items Lydyn made in the Item rewards digit codes thread to enter the value of the desired item in the third and/or fourth byte, and you're done !

And yeah, it took me some time. Especially to find out which map those Elixirs x 4 were refering to, as many end-game maps hold 4 Elixirs.

Er.. aren't they just in the order listed here? http://sh3llz.com/~melonhead/greerga/#I ... -Files-Map

[Armorvil]

Er... ...Yes, they are  
Will we see a "Move-Find items" tab in FFTPatcher's next version, Melonhead ?

[Cheetah]

Did that site get taken down? My original link for it no longer works and the pictures don't work. I was really hoping to get all the portraits that were on that site.

[Asmo X]

Awesome. Is it possible to randomise move-find items?

[Armorvil]

No way that I know of.
