Final Fantasy Hacktics

Feels very close now to identifying these files. they all seem to be byte-per-pixel representations of the art which I am guessing are the new sprites. the problem is that I am not sure how they are applying the color to the pixels since there is no header and no footer on these files. And no extra files that might be pointing to palettes. I wonder if they are using the regular palette that each sprite should have, and then mapping them to the new sprites based on these byte patterns. When opening one up for example in the hex editor I was able to go "yea that's clearly an egg" and "that one is clearly the cracked egg" and then when opening a different one I saw "oh that's the portrait sprite for a character" but without an actual palette to map these too, especially since it seems the lines reverse in an unexpected way. There may be a pattern that I just don't recognize. But here is a couple samples

00 00 00 00 00 00 4D E5 FF EE EE EE DE BB BB BB 9A 99 99 A9 ED FF 5D ED FF CC AB DC EE CC DD EE
00 00 00 00 00 00 4D FD FF EE EE EE EE AA AA AA 99 99 99 A9 ED FF 55 ED FF CC BC DC EE CD ED DE
00 00 00 00 00 D0 45 FE FF EE EE EE EE A9 AA 9A 99 99 99 A9 EC FF 55 DD FF CD CC DC ED DD EE DD
00 00 00 00 00 D0 44 FE EF EE FF FF EE 88 99 99 99 99 99 A9 EC DF 55 DD FE CD CC DC EC EE DE DD
00 00 00 00 00 50 44 FF EE FE FF FF EE 88 98 99 99 99 99 A9 EC DF 55 DD EE DE CC DD DC EE DD CDThis is a 32x96 portrait sprite, where this is lines 80-84 for the Female Orator

           31 97 AA AA AA AA 79 13
        10 73 A9 AA AA AA AA 9A 37 01
        31 97 AA AA AA AA AA AA 79 13and this lines 4-7 of the egg sprite without the crack in it (removed all of the plain 00's just to make the shape stand out more, but assume otherwise it's just 00 00 00 etc, notice the reversing on "31 97 AA" "AA AA" "AA 79 13" but the other one above didn't seem to reverse like that except for the last 2 bytes, so I am not sure if this a red herring, adding the 2nd egg same lines below

            31 97 79 32 39 25 79 13
         10 73 99 23 32 72 39 92 37 01
         31 97 5A 97 23 97 29 22 79 13

EDIT: this makes more sense now, seems like the 'bytes' idea was wrong, it's 4bpp format i'm fairly sure. which explains why the number of rows is doubled compared to the originals but the width seems the same. if each is 4bpp then that is 2 per byte which adds up. Now just need to grab a palette to match these to and figure out which order the bits are pointing at. since going from left to right "00 10 72 A9 AA" might instead be read as "00 01 27 9A AA" i.e read 2nd set of 4 before the first 4. which makes more sense going from transparent to solid color and seems to match how it is done with the rest of the sprites in the base game

EDIT2: indeed they seem to use the same color palettes as the base game, then just apply it to the new sprites using the same method that base game does. Now the only question is, how can I get all of the palettes to literally everything so that I can apply them to the new files. Currently working through naming all of the files and grouping them by which palettes they should belong to

Hi there I'm loving this mod I just wanted to let you know.

I have one small issue though. I just got Beowulf and learned all his abilities however when I use Beowulf in battle only four abilities show up. Is there anything I can do to rectify this?

Afraid not -  the support slots are all taken up now.

Any possibility of having a Remix version of a +1 or +2 ability range R/S/M? Kind of fell in love with that idea after playing a lot of Tactics Ogre on PSP and then in a few different FFT hacks. The existing versions aren't compatible with the 'arching AoE Range' asm.

Thanks..

figured thanks though!

Is there a way I can edit unobtainable characters into my party?  Since the patcher understandably won't work on a mod.   I would usually throw them into a random fight and make them invite upon KO so that they have their correct formation screen quote and all.

The Patcher works just fine on mods, aside from not showing the right names for things without the correct "Resources.zip" file. Even then, the TLW Resources.zip from within the TLW Resources folder would be very accurate, and the Resources.zip from within the ReMixed 1.1 Resources folder would be even more so.

It's the latter, plus the TacText edits, plus the text graphic edits and, in some cases, extra hacks to make them display properly.

For the time being, if you want that script, you'll be best off playing either The Lion War of the Lions or Tweak on the PSP. Tweak and ReMixed have a lot of similar design philosophies, and it's very much worth checking out.

oof.. guess i gotta comb through every ability that's..gonna take a bit especially if what i'm looking for isn't terribly obvious at a glance

While we dont tend to mod the mobile ports, we always love seeing people find out new info about any version! And hey, someone's gotta do this stuff to get the ball rolling for other modders. Keep us posted, and good luck!

That explains it.
Thank you for responding quickly and for your work on the ROM.
It is a joy to play.
