Title: Just a couple questions about sword skills
Post by: busterff7 on January 09, 2013, 03:55:39 am
I've searched the boards but was unable to find anything that clearly answered my questions.

1: How do I make Destroy Sword's Ruins unevadable? I made them 0 CT and free, but I dont know how to make them hit 100%.

2: How can I keep Mighty Sword's attacks stay as they are but be able to cause damage to monsters and humans with no equipment/maintenance? Basically I want them to cause damage even if the target has nothing equipped (monster/human with no equipment in said slot) or has maintenance. Is this possible?

Thank you as always in advance for any help you can offer.  :)

1. The faith calculation is probably what causes there to be a little inaccuracy in these attacks. You can bump up the ability Y up to 255 but that probably won't make much a difference. You'd have to do a little bit of ASM work to take the faith calculation out or just default the attacks to 100% accuracy. OR, you could try switching the formula to the one that the break skills use, and ramping up the accuracy of the attack as much as possible. That might actually work.

2. To do this, you need 2 hacks. First is the one that allows mighty sword to hit monsters. I think that's in FFM's ASM hack thread. Maybe Razele's. Then, you need the mighty sword rewrite in my thread. Note that there are some instructions with the hack in my thread. You have to set the chance to break to 100%, and there's a line you need to edit if you don't want damage to be divided by 2.

Alright, I'll take a look at those threads and try your suggestions. Thanks for the pointers.  :)

Okay, so I haven't messed with the Ruins yet, can't figure out where to change accuracy.

I found this in Razele's thread:
Mighty Sword ignores equipment presence and hits monster
BATTLE.BIN
0x120A2C change 0xFF to 0xFE
0x120A8C change 0xFF to 0xFE
0x1209EE change 0x42 to 0x02

But I'm not sure how to apply it.

Also I think I found your hack in orgASM (see pic) but I dont know how to chang the % or how to set the damage back to normal.
Sorry for all the questions... I'm new to this stuff lol

Thanks again for any help you can offer.
