If you want soldiers to have levels greater than 99, edit
SCUS_942.21
0x4e0b0

Change from 63 hexadecimal (= 99 in decimal) to your new maximum (cannot exceed 0xFF hex or 255 dec).  Remember to type your input in hexadecimal.

(Перевод Google)
Если вы хотите солдаты иметь уровни, превышающие 99, редактировать
SCUS_942.21
0x4e0b0

Изменение от 63 шестнадцатеричном (= 99 в десятичной) на новый максимум (не может превышать 0xFF шестигранные или 255 дек). Не забудьте ввести свой ​​вклад в шестнадцатеричном виде.

Jack, if you're using my Steal Woe formula for sneak attack, you should let me review it again for ASM bugs.  I remember the people on ID telling me it caused the AI to deal 999 damage.

1) Mimes mimic that of the tile he stands on.
2) A charm / invite unit counts as a member of the team that charmed / invited him for miming purposes.
3) Monster Skill doesn't affect enemy monsters.  I forget about charm because I just ASM'd the skill out in my patch.
4) Blood Suck over Berserk.  They take the same overall AI behavior (attack the nearest target), but blood sucked units default to their special Blood Suck skillset (which only has the Blood Suck attack).
5) Berserk monsters use the "Attack" command even though they do not normally have access to it.

Any above post that does not have an attachment file is an aborted failure that I will no longer pursue.  All further development will continue along lines given here.

Help! / Re: Question about Martial Arts/Brawler

Quote from: Jack of All Trades on November 28, 2013, 04:10:20 pm
So this is a kind of an all in one formula, right? What does this have to do with Martial Arts? Shouldn't this get it's own topic? Also, if it is as useful as it appears to be, shouldn't it be stickied?

In good time, once I get all the bugs out, it will be stickied and merged with my other topics, but as for now...it's just to answer a question.  As for what this has to do with Martial ARts, at the end of Riketz' post, he wanted
Quote
PA*WE+Y formula, possibly even with a negative Y to keep it all in line.

I just did that.

Centralized all this information in this topic.

If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have remembered.  I already had my celebrations two months ago on 8-15, but China doesn't celebrate most US holidays.

Limitations:
1) Drain or Recoil with AoE AND evadable or self-damage or healing creates unintuitive behavior.  In particular, I didn't check the cases where a drain HP attack is cast on self + recoil.
2) 2H and martial arts will apply as long as damage is flagged as physical.  I can make a version where 2H is never applied to physical damage OR a version where 2H only applies to weapon strike / weapon ranged attacks but NOT one where it corresponds only to WP in the formula without serious rewriting of this code's IF / JUMP statements (which is a headache as is).
3) Nothing SA proposed above was coded because I wanted to get the original Square behavior down first.  All the things he proposed are more complicated and I'll get to it when I'm more awake.
4) Currently conflicts with almost every other ASM hack in terms of Kanji space.  Sorry, will fix later.
5) Jack of All Trade's proposal for hand slot break was not coded, but it's on the TODO list.
6) Does not address the +Stat formulas (that is next) or pure % to cause status formulas.  Also, % to cause damage may display totally wrong accuracies.
7) Does not support formulas taking both physical and magical multipliers, though I probably don't want to do this.

Formula:
[(STAT1 +/- C) * STAT2 * (D + 1) / 128]
OR
Accuracy = (STAT1 + C) * (Br or Fa)%
Effect = [STAT2 * (D + 1) / 128]
Built-IN ASMs:
Oil Fix
If Weapon Strike, then Ability Element = Ability Element + Weapon Element
If DMG / Heal deals X% of tar/cas|cur/max|HP/MP, then pre-elemental DMG / Heal caps at min{999 * X%, tar/cas|cur/max|HP/MP * X%}
Optional Selections:
* CasBr% * TarBr%
* CasFa% * TarFa%
* Physical Multipliers
* Magical Multipliers

Break Target Gear (Random, Head, Armor, Accessory, WPN, Shield)
Healing
Drain
Undead Reverse
P or M-EV
Recoil

Instructions:
See attachment...it should all be self-explanatory except:
1) Flags with black dots means they now have actual effects on damage (and not just for the AI)
2) E means if flagged, element = ability element + weapon element.
3) If you see two of the same letter next to 2+ different flags, that means all related flags need to be flagged for the effect to work.
4) H+ means HP healing, H- means HP damage, M+ means MP Healing, M- means MP damage, HM- means HP / MP damage where MP damage is half of HP damage, HM+ means HP / MP healing where MP healing is half of HP healing.  P means PEV and M means MEV.
5) If you don't have a weapon, XA1 defaults to Naked PA and XA2 defaults to PA * Br%.
6) If you use the first formula, XA2 takes all multipliers (like ATKUP).  If you use the second formula, XA1 does, but the sum takes compat.
7) If you flag healing, reducing multipliers like Shell or DEFUP will be ignored.

Help! / Re: Locking Classes
November 27, 2013, 06:38:01 pm
This hack would fit perfectly for my patch; if memory serves, I had an undead knight that I ultimately was forced to scrap because simply changing his job from his base class to a generic class would remove his dark-magic induced condition.  I'd presume Argy is similarly motivated.
In any case, this hack is on my list after I finish the formula hack.

FFT Arena / Re: Arena battle videos and discussion

Malroth, I disagree.  His team indeed has a load of problems, but too much damage isn't one of them.

Rock man
Male
Aries
70
50
Monk
Snipe
Speed save
Equip ranged
Jump +2
Gastrafitis
Chakra band
Santa outfit
Bracer
stigma magic, revive
Armor break, shield break, head break, weapon brake

1) This monk can't heal himself.  If the rest of the team dies, he runs into the corner and never comes out.
2) Why are you running all four breaks on a non-elemental damage user?  The AI will prefer break only when (elemental) damage dealt < HP removed (except for weapon and shield break).  If this was me, this monk would only have weapon break, arm aim (and maybe shield break).
3) EQ Ranged is not a good monk support.  Ar / Mk running Gastrafitis off the same setup can deal the same damage off ATKUP (and the damage can be further boosted if you switch to Twist Headband).

Sensei
Male
Capricorn
70
50
Archer
Item
Speed save
Throw
Jump +1
Windslash bow
Twist headband
Brigandine
Magic ring
Arm aim, head break, armor break, hawk's eye
X potion, phoenix down, antidote, soft, echo grass, ether

1) Your entire squad absorbs wind BUT you also have X-Potion and Throw Item?  Considering the high brave and good compats, your squad is going to be healed more by windslash bow + proc than by X-Potion.  Of course, you want your archer to be able to heal himself, but your team should avoid redundancy.
2) Hawk's Eye won't work here because PA > SP, so your weapon does more damage.  In fact, because you are at 9 SPD, every 8 SPD unit on the enemy team will midcharge you.  Even if you assume the AI is smart enough to use it against 10+ SPD units, since the biggest threat from those teams are Cursed Ring users, seal evil is better.
3) If the enemy nulls / halves wind, you need a reply.  Arm Aim and Armor Break are essentially two different ways to counter the same thing, but if your monk has arm aim, then this unit doesn't need it.  I'd say head / armor / shield break alongside seal evil is best.
4) Personally, I'd switch this unit to Mythril Bow because +1 SPD makes your item-bot stronger, but that would require changing up the rest of your team.

Bridge man
Male
Serpentarius
70
40
Thief
Snipe
Dragon spirit
Equip ranged
Move-hp up
Windslash bow
Flash hat
Santa outfit
Wizard mantle
arm aim, seal evil, hawk's eye

1) Why does the fastest unit on your squad have no ability to revive?  As it currently stands, it is impossible for your monk or archer to revive him without his turn already passing unless the battle lasts for 10 turns.
2) Why does he not have steal heart or quickening?
3) Why does he have neutral compat with the rest of your team when elemental healing is a key part of your defense?
4) Although the thief will favor hawkeye over normal attacks, everything I said about CT problems applies to this thief.
5) Why is he wearing a flash hat on top of 40 faith?  That just exposes him to ninjitsu and he doesn't really need more magic defense.

Zero

Samurai
Yin yang magic
MA save
Two swords
Move mp-up
Kiyomori
Kiyomori
Crystal helmet
Linen robe
Magic ring
Masamune, heaven's cloud
paralyze

1) Samurai has innate 2H.  You just waste JP for 2S and MA Save to get the same amount of damage.  Before you argue that you need more MA, what are you using that MA for?  If it's just to boost heaven's cloud, EQ Magegear + Prismatic Rod accomplishes the same thing.  If you want damage and +MA, then you should look into EQ Polearm + Ivory Rod.
2) Why does this samurai not have murasame?  Without it, your samurai cannot heal herself.  Honestly, the range on it and heaven's cloud is the same, but you won't be slowing your own team and can heal yourself.
3) Why the crystal helm?  I'd use a circlet or even a barbuta here.
4) Since you only have one masamune user, your samurai won't be doing anything else because of the priority the AI gives haste.

Overall, I think too many bow users are hampering this team (because Projectile Guard then walls it).  I'd probably consider a melee thief (2H Air Knife + Undead)?

Hacking/Patching Tools / Re: (App) MassHexASM: Encode directly to little endian (v12 Update: 7/4)
November 26, 2013, 11:39:27 am
Two requests:
1) The ability to save my work (replete with comments and labels) in a readable (i.e. 1 ASM command + comments per line) format.  For writing long routines, this is an absolute must because if I only finish half my routine and want to come back to it later, I literally have to leave my computer and massHex open until my second sitting or post my half-finished work on FFH.  The latter isn't very efficient because I need Internet to access my code again (not a guarantee) and all the previous labels would be gone, so I would need to spend some time relabeling (and re-remembering) the logic of my previous code.  This also has the added benefit of making it easier for coders to check each others' work because we can transfer labels.  Although I'm fairly fluent in ASM, I know some of the newer coders find my code hard to read upon first inspection (and being able to transfer labels and comments would greatly help them understand).
2) The ability to use Ctrl + F to find certain registers or labels (very helpful for debugging long routines).  I'm sure pokeytax could use this to even better effect than me.

Help! / Re: confusing asm hacks in fft orgasm...
November 24, 2013, 01:09:43 am
As the person who edited the latest version of the FFTPatcher orgASM files, I'll try my best to answer this.

1) Please READ THE DESCRIPTIONS of how my ASMs work before asking a question. Many obvious questions are often answerable upon reflection of what I wrote.
2) If I refer to X / Y value that is not included as an option in orgASM, I refer to the X / Y values in FFT Patcher for the formula the hack affects.
3) The inherent R/S/M limitations hack was explained by Pokeytax in his thread.  Since I didn't directly edit that hack, I didn't include his explanation.  This is my fault, but that hack means that if you remove throw item from chemist as an innate skill, chemists can have their support set to throw item in the formation menu.  Vanilla FFT has an extra check to prevent classes with innate supports (Chemist, Monk, Ninja, Mediator) from being set with their respective auto-supports (Throw Item, Martial Arts, Two Swords, Monster Talk) in the formation screen.
4) As for the Wall de-hardcoding hack, it's exactly as it sounds.  Wall now no longer blocks enemy attacks and the AI will target units with wall.  Any effects it takes is purely what you give it in FFTP and nothing else.  This hack was made primarily for the people (myself included) who wanted to make wall into astra.
5) Raven has a tool that lets you convert ASMs found on the forum to stuff orgASM can read.  Search around on the threads linked in his signature.
6) Anyone who wants ASM lessons can contact me.  We'll set up a time.

PSX FFT Hacking / Re: formula hack request: change rod formula to Dmg_F(MA*WP)
November 22, 2013, 02:10:43 pm
Here's a "joke" idea if you have the extra spell slots.
1) Use Raven's workbook to set Rod formula to MA * Fa / 100 * WP
2) Set all rods to formula 02
3) Have the spells referenced take a formula like 11 (which is NS, meaning it doesn't do anything), but set the effect to that of the spell you want to mimic.

I haven't tested this, so this may not work.  I remember someone telling me setting it to a NS formula still causes a damage display equal to the PA of the user, but if that's the case, I can custom code you something to remove that.

PSX FFT Hacking / Re: ASM Hack proposal: Synthesis Shop
November 22, 2013, 01:48:32 pm
How does the game decide which items are consumed to form the synthesized item?  Is it a fixed recipe (like refining in PSP TO), or does it simply remove certain items from your inventory that add up to the required cost for refine?  I was thinking for the patch makers who have extra item slots could make "gems" that are used only for refining or selling for a high price that can't be equipped or otherwise used and the game randomly removes gems equal to the cost of the item you are to synthesize (as this routine would be easy and save the need for yet another table for recipes).

PSX FFT Hacking / Re: ASM Request: Merge Weapon & Shield Break/Steal Abilities
November 22, 2013, 01:35:08 pm
Jack, I have this ASM already done.
<Patch name="Break/Steal/Mighty Sword de-hardcoding">
<Description>
    This removes the hard-code on STEAL, MIGHTY SWORD, and BREAK.  This means any skill taking those formulas can break stuff and MIGHTY SWORD will work on units if they do not equip anything to break (but will still be blocked by maintenance).  This means, among other things, that you can create Accessory Break.
    This formula reads the unused Y value in those three formulas.  Y = 5 breaks the head slot, Y = 4 breaks the armor slot, Y = 3 breaks the accessory slot, Y = 2 breaks the weapon slot, Y = 1 breaks the shield slot, Y = 0 breaks nothing.  Do not insert other values; they WILL cause glitchy effects!  Please update the preexisting BREAK/STEAL/MIGHTY SWORD attacks to correspond to the new rules.
    Because this hack standardizes the usage of X and Y,  the break and steal formulas are now (PA + WP + X)% and (SP + X)%, respectively.  This means all the old values of Y need to be rerouted to the variable X for BREAK skills.  Because the change to WP + X also affect HOLY SWORD, please similarly reroute the old values of Y to X for HOLY SWORD attacks to use the formula PA * (WP + X).

QuoteI'm willing to bet it does something like this all ready, just without the shield.

Your guess is correct and I think your version of "arm break" would be an easy addition to the ASM I wrote above (because it fits with existing Square routines that actually REMOVE the item).  If you all want, I can give an ASM lesson on how to modify what I did above into arm break.

PSX FFT Hacking / Re: Making assassin job available !
November 22, 2013, 01:28:27 pm
Elric, move this to Help.  This is a FFTP question.

As for the actual question, since player stats < X values (usually), you can just use Formula 3F (Mustadio's formula) since assassins are a fast class.  Just be sure to adjust the hit rates to account for player speed.
To change MBarrier to 100%, just change the formula to 38 in FFTPatcher.

As for "other" assassin and cleric skills, I can't help you until I know what you currently have.

FFT Arena / Re: Stop on self
November 22, 2013, 11:07:16 am
Character facing direction only affects their evasion.  Stop totally cancels a character's evasion.  From a battle mechanics perspective, it wouldn't matter what direction a character faces once stopped because stop overrides the unit facing mechanic.  Since Arena is designed for AIvAI (so battle mechanics decide nearly the whole story), I doubt FFM would want to expend that effort (though it would be more realistic).
