Quote from: LaylaAlder on January 31, 2025, 08:00:37 amI know this is a bit of necromancy, but I have a related question regarding animations.  Is there a similar issue as the piercing weapons with other weapon types, such as guns or hand cannons?

If I give Luso a gun or Hurdy a bow, will it freeze the game?

There is a handy chart as to what races can equip what without crashing the game here:

With your specific example, yeah, those two should work just fine. Also, unmentioned by the chart is that Viera can use Dual Wield without crashing the game as well. Not sure how it interacts with Double Shot though.

IIRC there are no restrictions to learning passive and reaction abilities as long as you properly assign them to gear along with a job to learn them.

Dual Wield can actually work with Viera as well, but that's about it. (This does mean that Viera can use the animations for the Paravir's elemental sword skills too)

I was fortunate enough to come across this particular tool, but unfortunately, I am not familiar with .jar files. Would it be possible for someone to convert this into an executable file so that this amazing editor could be more accessible to the majority of people? Thank you

.jar files are executable files my dude, you just need to have Java installed.

Use Nightmare and the equipment modules posted over here https://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=9715.msg188685#msg188685

Quote- Are Pyroclasm, Timeslip & White Whorl considered spells and scales up with MAtk? Because if you are planning to make him viable as a caster if the player decides to, he need to have a proper Matk growth on his starting job (because so late recruit, half of the levels are forced to be done on Sky Pirate).

No, they are physical skills. I also forgot to mention, the minumum level of all recruits was changed to 1, so you can have more control over their stats if you keep a low average level. All of your starting units are also level 1 now.

Quote- Whats the reason behind the change in the weaponry? I usually remember my Vaan from FFXII as Sword and Shield wielder.

Swords didn't really do much for him, what with most Sabers and Blades being outright better. Doesn't even learn any skills from em so I axed em. Greatswords do give him a choice between higher attack power or a shield (or just using Monkey Grip)

QuoteThank you. Made me nervous to have a character that would never be able to fill his P or R slots.

Al-Cid can have a little customization, as a treat.

QuoteNice with the joke of starting as bad musician, therefore he innately knows how to sleep and sing a song about frogs XD

Eh, that wasn't a joke, just picked those cause they seemed vaguely music related. The real joke was Frimelda having Dragonheart. She won't stay dead.

QuoteLooking forward to see in which will your patch end up becoming :]

In the immediate future, I actually came up with a solution to Ultima being even more broken than usual in a "start with full MP" enviroment, I'm just gonna make it deal 999 MP damage to the user after use, so you get to nuke something *once* and that's it. Also gonna raise its cost to 99 MP.

Also have reworks for Soldier, Warrior, Illusionist and Arcanist in the works.

Hello, this is my first public mod I guess. For now it's only a rework of Vaan's Job (mostly based on his Revenant Wings self) that sorta spiraled into also slightly reworking Thief and letting special recruits come with more abilities.

This mod also overhauls MP, you start at full and there is no MP regen unless you use MP Channeling. Right now this is very unbalanced but future additions to the mod should fix it somewhat.

In any case, here's the specifics of what I changed.


More to come later, currently thinking about either further differentiating Warrior and Soldier or swapping Illusionist and Arcanist, leaving Illusionist as a No Mou only job. Something that will come for sure is the removal of most Ultima skills, they are absurdly broken with the current MP setup. Anyway, that's it for now.

For future reference, only humes and viera have the animations that let them dual wield (and use certain parivir skills, namely Hoarfrost/Skyfury/Shimmering/Lifethread Blade)

Having the ability to text edit in AIO would be nice. That and being able to see skill descriptions and portraits.

Some message me that the game freezes when adelle is attacking with rapier. Sorry I've been busy to my business that's why I couldn't fix the bug sooner.

There's no way to fix. Humes (including Adelle and Luso) don't have the necessary sprites to attack with rapiers.
There's a handy chart here: http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=12173.msg225310#msg225310 

Actually, Ultima and Archaic demons do have formation sprites by default for some reason, at least on PSX. They work correctly out of the box if you put one in your party IIRC.

You can sorta fix the Warrior problem by renaming their skillset. Anything will do. You can even change it back after you are done editing it.

Yeah, MEGA links last pretty much forever as far as I know. Thanks!

'sup Eternal. Could you reupload the modding suite please?
The sendspace link is dead.

OK, thanks a lot!

Hello. Sorry for the necro but I have a few questions.

1. When you change a skill in a skillset do you have to modify the corresponding item so that it teaches the new skill?

2. When changing the Blue Mage skillset do you have to do anything so that Blue Mages learn the new/swapped skills?

Sorry if these come across as noobish... but I am a noob.

EDIT: Welp I still haven't found the answers to those questions but the Command List Editor (or at least mine) does seem to have a bug, it won't let you see or edit the Bangaa version of the Arts of War skillset. It just redirects you to the Hume one if you try.
