Hey All!!!
I finally got the chance to ask melonhead if he minded if i made this feature publicly known...as its been in the patcher for quite a freakin while...anyways
It allows you to rename your abilities and such through outside files.
Basically, take the attached resources.zip and put it in the same file as fftpatcher. DO NOT extract the files. the patcher reads them insdie the zip file.
It is basically an XML spread, so edit things like Cure to be known as PWN and it will apear as PWN on the list of abilities.
If you want to get the patcher to stop reading the edits but dont want to get rid of your changes, jsut copy the zip to a safe place and delete the one in the patcher folder. its that simple!
This useful for patches like SoR, where you make completly new abilities, but are constantly forgetting what is what... like i cant remember i made bolt 4 into 'Deluge' most of the time, until i used this. before i had to look in the old tactext editor xD
anyways, post questions and things here.

<Noob question here too, will the changes appear in the patcher or only in game post patching?
Edit: In that case something isn't working, hmmmmm.

I'm sorry for asking this question but how to open as notepad?
Extract it out into a folder, then open as notepad?
Because when open as xml file, i can't change anything.
So, can help? ^^

just extract it do what gojoe said.
You will then need to import it into the right directory in the zip. so if your editing abilities in the PSX
PSX-->Abilities-->Abilities.xml
sometimes its easier to just make a new zip instead of overwriting~
in which extract ALL files from resources.zip, edit them, and then select all of them at the same time (by using Ctrl+clicking) and then right click them, then add to zip...
that should work, just make sure you delete your old resources.zip(make a backup please) and name your new .zip file resources.zip

Oh...i see.
So then when open fftpatcher, example i change abilities (cure 2 to cura), the abilities tab on fftpatcher there, cure 2 will change to cura?

So if I use this to change Stasis Sword/Judgement Blade to Seiken, will it get changed in the game as well or just in the patcher?

Ehrgeiz I believe this only changes things in the patcher itself, and as far as text editing goes you'll have to get the new fftacTEXT, I lost the original link but I've uploaded it to a site for backup purposes, I can link you there...
FFTactTEXT: http://www.mediafire.com/file/yowwya4gy ... bugfix.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/file/yowwya4gyom/tactextbetabugfix.zip)
that should work just fine as long as you use the newest patcher available on this site, I haven't tried it with older versions but I don't see any reason it shouldn't work. Good luck man, and have fun.
PS. Ehrgeiz rocks
