Final Fantasy Hacktics

Hi everyone!
I've been following the forum for quite a moment now.
First of all, I'm impressed, you guys did a lot of amazing stuff! Props!

For the topic at hand, I've decided to host a private AI tournament for a few friends.
My setup is almost ready, I have the emulator, PPF Patcher, the ISOs, and finaly the 1,43 FFT Arena patch.
But while I was playing with the MemCard Gen I noticed some original class are not available.
I appreciate a lot the efforts with the balancing stuff, but I would like to use the original classes.

Can I still use the 1,43 patch with the original classes and the balancing?
If so, how can I do that!? If not, does someone have vanilla patch I can use?

Thanks a lot for your precious time!

Not THAT necessary, indeed.
But I was looking for a way to present context at the beginning of the story anyway.
I was open to many possibilities, but know that could be 2 birds, 1 stone.

I was thinking, as a player in a first playtrought, I'm carefully reading and viewing everything.
So, I saw this as an interesting option.

Is your point ; the result not worth the time, because most of the players, this will skip the intro?

Thanks for reading by the way.

Fine, I'm going on for this!
Thanks for thinking this out with me!

As a beginner, is it easier to edit the intro or find another way to bypass it?

So, up to now the video hacks works great. Thank you very much!
First script is going well too.

But I've not been able to bypass Arazlam intro...
Thinking of it, will it be easier to edit the intro with my own script or skip that part with some other process?

I've stumble across an old post using photoshop to modify pictures behing this king of animation.
Is this the process I'm looking for??

Ok! Finally found it with the patcher folder.
Thanks for you kind help.

I think I have settle something good for a first scenario.

Great community guys, I enjoy this!

PS: Blank event work just fine!

I do understand I need to do XML file with it. But have not yet found the place to import it.
Do I just swamp it with CDMage?

EDIT : Blank event work just fine.

Once again, thank you very much for your kind help.
I will check this out for sure.

I will be in touch!

Woah! Thanks a lot really helping.

Anyway, I can live with the Intro + Name Selection.
Do you consider the video/cutscene (chocobo riders) part of the event I could edit?

I've got some free time in the next days.
So I will try some more.

 Adding up. Anyone knows about removing the intro (all the way to the world map) from the "New Game" command?

Thank you very much.

I have spend a couple hours, reading files and exploring apps.
I think I've set some basics now.

Exactly!

Just a couple of fights/scenes and end of the side story.
A different image for a different story.

Hi guys!

As stated before, I'm new and learning.
I need to know what can I do with config.ini what does it serves?

So I may be able to rule out or in the importance of the file!

thanks!

Hello All,

I'm new here, but been aware of this community since a few years.
I have some experience in coding/hacking and I'm looking forward to discover FFT codes.

So here the idea :

To create side-stories of the current FFT (PSX) occuring before, during and after the game timeline.

The Master Plan :

#1 Setup a basic game image : same stuff as original except new game starts right on world map.
#2 Need to block portion of the world map and set position.
#3 Need to declare a event upon moving on world map.
#4 Need to edit caracters on event/fight.
#5 Need to edit dialogue and positions in the event/fight.
#6 Change winning condition to the fight.
#7 Will like to add like 3-4 events/fights (orange dot-like) than original credits after the last fight.

Note : Battle Mechanics remains the original's.

I've started reading guides/tutorials here, but can someone pinpoint or give insight to help me start things here.

Thank you very much!
