Help! / Re: Generic Palettes
December 27, 2010, 12:04:05 pm
Thanks for the help, Xifanie's program definitely helped a lot on changing the battle palette.  As to changing the formation palette, I don't know what method you were going to suggest, but I didn't find this to be much work or difficulty at all, so I'll go ahead and post what I did just in case:

Use FFTEVGRP to open UNIT.BIN and go to the sprite you want to change the palette of.  Save the palette (PAL file).  Open it in a hex editor and starting at location 0x16 you're looking at the RGB values for each of the 16 colors in sequence (separated by a byte '00').  Now just take whatever value you used in Xifanie's program for that color and multiply by 8, then convert to hex.  Pop em all in, re-import the palette in FFTEVGRP, and voila.  Your formation sprite now has the same palette as the battle sprite.

Help! / Generic Palettes

Is there a way to change the color of player controlled generic mimes?  For example, change player mimes to use their #5 palette (sort of a purple-ish blue).  I tried reading posts about custom palettes for hours, but couldn't figure this one out.

Removing NS and non-elem from formulas is always a good thing :D Though I'm curious, how is it your Blind hack works then?  I haven't experimented with that yet.

Thanks for the useful information.  Though unfortunately, Br/YY is not an accurate formula Blade Grasp and Arrow Guard.  It is the abs(Br-YY) mod 100 = hit rate.  This means if you set YY to anything other than 100, you get roll over issues.  I.E. if I want to nerf Blade Grasp and make it Br-130, at 70 Brave this will work well, abs(70-130) mod 100 = 60% chance to be hit, not nearly so powerful as reducing it to 30% like normal Blade Grasp would.  But if you had 29 brave, abs(29-130) mod 100 = 1% chance to be hit.  That's no good :(

Also:
126070 is the location for Blade Grasp's YY only.  Arrow Guard's is at 126134.
