Final Fantasy Hacktics

The function starting at 0x080c9644 initializes an "entity" slot from a "template".

Early at system boot, the default player party is initialized by calling that function in a loop located at 0x080097ce. The loop is coded to execute 6 times and takes its "templates" from offset sequentially from 0x0852cde0.

I would patch to call that function sometimes near startup with additional characters that you want to set. For instance, calling the function manually -- in GDB -- with the second default template adds an extra Montblanc at position 6:

p ((void (*) (void*, void*, unsigned char))0x80c9644) ( (void*) (0x02000080 + 0x108 * 6 ), (void*)0x0852ce10, 0)

This does also seem to also balance the equipment inventory correctly as long as you are filling an empty spot.

Hello everyone !

I just joined, so I thought I'd drop a quick introduction. FFTA is a game I've been coming back to again and again so it seemed to me like an interesting project to explore.

As the information seems sparse I wanted to drop a post to make sure I was not duplicating work that has been done in the past. There's a lot of information regarding game data encoding/editing within the rom, but very little about the code structure. Is there any existing effort at a symbol table, call graphs or something like that ?

Thanks
