Help! / Re: What can I do and what will I need for start modding FFT?
December 05, 2016, 07:46:11 pm
I'm only answering all this to the best of MY knowledge. Could be wrong on some parts.

Modding FFT
In general, to be precisely, what can I do modding FFT?
Anything is possible as long as it is within the hardware's limits. (ie. disc space, RAM, Video RAM, processor, etc.)

Can I insert new items, abilities, character slots (insert more room for new units in my party), monsters, maps and music?
Generally no. You can edit existing ones, and there are some unused slots for many things.
Can I translate all the content of a ROM to any language?
In theory. If you're willing to dedicate a lot of time.
Can I play mod in PS1 console? Is mods just designed for working on PC?
Depends on the mod.
Can I insert options for game languages?
If you were willing to spend 10 years doing it maybe.
What's my limits modding? If I'm going to CD by playing my mod version on PS1 is my limit the CD's limit (700mb)?
Not sure.
Can I add new chapters to the game?
Yeah, if you spent time compressing the game's existing events and progression down to make room for it.
When starting in a ROM for modding, is it better using a USA, EUR or JPN one?
Probably USA.

Modding Tools
Considering I'll be doing all the work alone, what will I need for spritting and coding?
We have a subforum for that. Hacking/Patching Tools.
What tools for modding can do for me? Can I have any shortcuts modding through tools?
Depends on the tools. "Shortcuts"?
About saves and these things... Would I need to restart the game everytime I release a patch?
Depends on what you did.

Knowledge
I lack about any knowledge of this area, it's my first time modding and I don't know even how to start and what I can start doing. Could anyone give me a path? Or maybe, advise me one?
Start by tinkering with FFTPatcher & TacText, then with event editing. Use the PSX version.
I have a lot of things I wanna insert in the game and make it be as I dreamed. So, what will I have to know before start modding? Which type of knowledge will I need for modding? What kinds of resources will I need to master?
We have a subforum for this too. Tutorials.
In the past, I was a mod of a forum, can BBcode help me with something modding?
Uh. No. But fluency in that sort of thing might make some stuff marginally easier.

PSX/PSP
Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems PSX version have more support for modding. Am I right? Why?
The gist of it is, the PSP version is a functionally emulated mod of the PSX version with most additions being crudely nailed into the PSX version. It's like slapping two new floors on the top of a house without properly reframing the existing ones. It might work, but if you try to go back and tinker around with the lower floors after that you're probably going to bring the whole thing down on your head.
Can I insert PSP features in PSX version? Most, I would want to add a co-op way of playing and a system of battles for PvP.
In theory, yes. But you'd probably have a more realistic chance of winning the Olympics and/or the lottery.
Can I do it using PSX?
??? Why would you need to insert PSP version features into... the PSP version?
I saw things on forums about a kind of shop, what kinds of shops can I add to game?
A synth shop, thanks to Xifanie's relentless work on it. On your own with no knowledge? That's it.

Treasure/Propositions
Can I add classes/items/units to it as rewards?
No.
Can I add cutscenes to it? After having succeed or don't?
No.
Can I add CG scenes to PSX version?
I doubt it.
Can I add more functions to this system?
Through ASM.
Can I make Propositions repeatable?
Maybe?

Classes
Can I add more classes? Or can I just edit the existing ones?
Generic classes, you have to edit existing ones. There's room to make up some more special unit classes.
Can I add more races? (i.e., human, viera, nu mou, etc.)
Not the way functional human generics work. You could make them special units.
What can I add as pre-requisite for classes?
Any other generic classes you like.
What's my limits adding classes?
Open FFTPatcher and find out.
Can I give classes more inate abilities? Or there's a set number?
Up to 4. Don't give them innate reactions.

Items
Can I add more items? Or can I just edit the existing ones?
Edit.
Can I add more item slots? (i.e., a second acessory, a shoulder slot)
No.

Monsters
Can I add more monsters? Or can I just edit the existing ones?
Edit.
Can I make all monsters playable? I'm aiming the demons cuz we already can't use them by just playing the game normally.
Absolutely. However, some units may not have a Formation sprite, which can cause a graphical error. Does not affect gameplay.

Map
Is there a map editor that can save me time for mapping?
Yes. Ganesha IIRC
Is there any templates for mapping?
Maybe? Never done it.

Space
About space needed for modding, how much of my hard disk would I need for it? I have a ambitious project in mind but I think I must cut some lines...
The biggest thing is probably going to be the size of your ISO file and how many ISOs you have.

Templates
Is there any templates for start modding?
Check Tutorials.
Is there any templates for start codding?
Check Tutorials.

Backup
What can I do to prevent losing my project due to corrupted files?
... Make backups?
When modding, what can corrupt my files?
When modding, what parts of my PC can get affected/damaged?
Is there any risk to my hardware/software by modding?
Nothing. What the hell kind of programs have you been using?

Team
How can I get inside a project and be a member of a team developing a mod?
There isn't a walkthrough to this sort of thing. If you impress someone with your dedication you might be asked to help, but that's about it.
About teams, is there any staff team from the forums or everyone can start a team and start recruiting for it.
Not really.

Testing
Is there a group of testers from the forums?
Sometimes we ask if people want to test things. Not all that often though.

Journey of the Five Ch.1 / Re: Chapter 2 Progress Log
December 05, 2016, 04:59:14 pm
Well, if you really hate yourself that much we could do something like increase the amount of JP required to learn skills and to get Job Levels. 600 JP to learn Potion it is! And job level 3 enemy Knights will have fully Mastered their jobs.

To help you figure out whether you're playing the "oh god why" version, we'll replace Snake with a poorly sprited Raiden.

But no, seriously, I can't imagine there being too much of a demand for a harder version. IMO, if you want a harder playthrough, you'd probably be better off with a self-imposed challenge of some kind, like never changing out of your base jobs.

I've even learned how to break events in new, wildly horrible ways event, so I can work on all the Mark events.

I spent much of yesterday slamming my head against the keyboard trying to figure out what causes all active units to get a sudden case of aquaphobia because they will not obey commands to WalkTo water tiles. As far as I can tell there are multiple different types of event commands that will all separately cause this, and none of them are written erroneously, either.

In the end, I just gave up, and now I'll be making Ramza jump in the creek a different way.

Help! / Re: Is it possible to hack an ISO and load an existing save file?
December 01, 2016, 11:53:02 pm
Seriously, I have absolutely no clue what you're doing to trigger this, and it doesn't look like anyone else does either. Have you tried looking at the save/game IDs after the fact?

And if you do think a European ISO might be the cause of a problem, download a US ISO and find out.

Help! / Re: Is it possible to hack an ISO and load an existing save file?
November 28, 2016, 08:29:08 am
It's not an emulator issue. PPSSPP works just fine for me. You've got something you're doing wrong, because the Patcher does not edit your save ID just by moving a few abilities around.

Help! / Re: Is it possible to hack an ISO and load an existing save file?
November 27, 2016, 12:48:12 am
She's saying that unless you somehow manage to fuck up the ISO entirely, you'd have to deliberately change it in order to stop it from loading its normal save files.

Meaning, yes, it's not only possible to load your pre-existing save files, it's the default option.

Help! / Re: Questions regarding Skills, Ailments and Monsters
November 22, 2016, 12:52:31 pm
There's nothing at all wrong with having monsters and players use the same skills, but monster PA/MA is scaled differently, so their skills would be more powerful in general.

Monsters automatically ignore some traits of skills, like MP cost or Requires Sword. They're still affected by CT - not that any monster skills in vanilla have CT. Of course, you could give them passive CT 0 to give them an edge over players using the same skill, if you so desired.

November 21, 2016, 09:24:05 am
Same. I coulda used Other M as an example, too, but I wanted something a little more recent.

AM2R took ten years to make, still has bugs today (twice in a row when I was battling the Larval Metroids, they slid out of the screen while frozen, forcing a reset) and... is generally hailed as a better Metroid game than anything made in the last decade.

Other M and Mighty No. 9 were massive failures in comparison, despite being officially funded games made by professionals.

I'd rather play a game that took seven more years to make and isn't absolute ass, personally.

I mean, I can understand the frustration, even at something that's being provided for free, but as far as I'm aware, no one has ever tried to give even a real guess at the release date here. It's always been "it'll be ready when it's ready".

I know this kind of perspective wasn't really available back in 2014, but here's what I'd say: what kind of sequel/successor do you want to play? Mighty No. 9, or AM2R?

Journey of the Five Ch.1 / Re: Help, having a really weird issue with this mod
November 16, 2016, 12:53:58 am
Sounds to me like you just have a bad ISO. I could see a super obscure bug doing this, but having it happen not once, but twice, to the same person and nobody else?

Find a new source and repatch Jot5 to it. You might be able to keep the save file you've got as is.

New Project Ideas / Re: Final Fantasy Tactics: Brave Story
November 12, 2016, 03:48:01 pm
Overall, you shouldn't change things for the sake of change. "Dorter, Trade City" works just fine; there's no reason to replace it with Merchant.

Then, using the sword skills as an example - I can see why you might want to remove "punch" from the skill names (it's being done with a sword after all), but why are the changes so extensive? There's nothing wrong with Stasis Sword, especially considering it procs Stop. Why change Lightning Stab to Lightning Thrust?

You're on track to one of the major problems with the WotL translation - they changed a lot of things just for the sake of change. Even if something sounds slightly better to you after the change, it's still going to be ridiculously jarring to the people who played the original. I mean, people hated the change from Aeris to Aerith, and that's a much smaller one.

For a counter example, Stigma Magic to Purify makes sense, and is worth the change.

Finally - looking at your monk and swordskill changes, it looks like you're setting up names that have nothing to do with either translation. If you really have to fix a bad FFT name, changing it so far away from the FFT name - use the WotL one. Neither FFT nor WotL players are going to recognize "Surge Attack", and that's not a good thing.

Tutorials and Learning / Ability Effect Chart
November 09, 2016, 09:34:23 pm
I put this together for my own purposes a ways back when I was planning out all the Jot5 abilities that would be featured in future chapters. There's an Effect Video Compilation that shows how every Effect in the game works, but it's tedious to go through all of them wondering "will this one show properly for AoE or not?"

I don't know if this'll end up being useful for anyone, but I figured no point in letting the chart go to waste, so I'll be putting it below for anyone interested.

10 effects per video. Multi-target effects will be shown on 2+ targets.

Use Cmd+F or Ctrl+F  to search

Goals:

To be able to observe:

  • if the effects works on multiple targets, if so how does it look like (whether it is the repeated effect, broken into separate parts, or something else)

  • where the effect is centered on (whether it is the cursor location, average of enemy locations, first target location, self, or center of map)

  • determine if the effect has different phases (for example Cure4 has two phases (first phase is centered on caster, second phase occurs on each target)

  • the sound effects

  • the speed/pace of spell

  • whether the effect can display aftermath status (damage taken, stat change, etc) on single or multiple targets

The effects are a shade of green if they work with AoE, and blue if they do not. "Multi" means multiple target (so AoE), "Rep." is for Repeating, as in whether the ability's full effect will repeat for every unit affected by it.

Two reaction abilities at once tend not to work very well.

Guessing's fine! I didn't mention anything that you can't already find out from the current Ch. 1 release anyway. :P

War of the Lions Hacking / Re: Why you should mod the PSX version and not WotL
November 05, 2016, 01:50:02 am
Only reason I ever modded WotL was for the multiplayer. And it barely ever seems to work anyway if you're emulating it at all... which is the most efficient way to play PSP WotL these days, considering the fact that PSP-2000s aren't being sold anymore.

If you've got a functional way to play multiplayer, people to play it with, and only want to change a few small things? Then WotL is for you. If you want to do literally anything else, save yourself a massive headache and go straight to the PSX version.

QuoteI love this feature in the game, adds a different element to a battle in which you're able to learn a new skill, it also creates a missable which can drive a completionist mad!


None of those abilities will be missable by the end of the game, though they are indeed missable in Ch. 1.

Quote2) If the character is able to learn a secret skill, will it be denoted in the skill list with the aforementioned line? - which of course is a red flag for a gamer.


Of course. I don't think there's currently any way to not have that happen, actually.

Quote3) Are there plans to incorporate hidden skills for any other characters (besides Ramza of course) or generics or even monsters (if this is possible)?


The way Monsters are designed, it's not possible to make them learn new spells. It'd also kind of defeat the purpose of their existence. Jot5 Monsters are designed to be powerful units that know their full suite of abilities without any grinding, and the tradeoff for that is they can't get overpoweringly strong the way human units can.
