Final Fantasy Hacktics

Hey All

Well, Vanya has gone missing for my patch for a bit, so ive decided to cure some boredome and do formula Edits; but id rather get alot of people use of these formulas and other ASM requests... This is mainly to help me practice, so please start small.

RULES

1. Since im new to this NO UBER COMPLICATED FORMULAS nothing like MA + PA + SP + 3 / 4 (PA/2)
2. Please be patient
3. One Formula or ASM request at a time...
4. Please post which formula you want replaced, and what formua you want it to "Kind of" look like if possible.

These rules are subject to change.

Post AWAY!

Formulas Completed So Far:
(MA * Y) / 2 * Speed

• PA * Y - Damage Formula

(Replaces Worker 8's formula)

PA * Y

100% knockback

replaces Dash  / Throw Stone formula

Replace formula 1F (malak's formula)

with a formula like formula 02 but with 100% chance to cast the spell instead of 25%

[PA + Y]/2 * SP
replaces Punch Art formula, so is affected by Martial arts and Attack/Defense UP. Is otherwise identical to the normal Punch Art formula except that SP replaces MA

Hmmm...nothing "uber complicated"? Ah, there goes my asking you to make monster specific formulas....

Anyway, if you could make a WP^2 formula that ISN'T a 100% and, if simultaneously possible, allow it to add status, I would be rather grateful.

How monster specific? as in the formula does something special if a chocobo uses it?

Done Lydyn; Ill give it to you in chat.

Done Skip; would you like mt to post it here? if so ill be back this afternoon; have a meeting at school about me being homebound.

Not sure HOW THE HELL Knockback is worked...ill have to ask zodiac; but chances are its the same reason im having trouble making zozmas...its just space issues.

cool, that was fast, and if you can post it here that'd be cool also.

Skip's Request: [PA + Y]/2 * SP

Replaces Formula: 31

have fun with it <3

Also let me knwo if it works, it worked in the quicksave...but the battle.bin bytes around what was supposed to be there, didnt look right...i think i flipped it correctly, you will have ot make sure it works. if it doesnt i know what i did wrong.

did some testing, and it seems to actually be using [PA + Y]/2 * PA.
Ramza PA 8, MA 3, and SP 7, using Wave Fist did 40 damage to a neutral compat target.
Wave fist deals [PA + 2]/2 * X damage
So [8 + 2]/2 * X=40
10/2 * X=40
5 * X = 40
X=8
I then confirmed that it was in fact using PA and not speed by switching Ramza to a thief , resulting in a Speed of 9 and PA of 8, but no change in damage.

grr...okie give me a few hours, ive got some stuff to do, you will have it by today!

fixed and tested myself

Still doing [PA + Y]/2 * PA for me, maybe i'm doing something wrong on my end. I'm using CDMage to import the new BATTLE.BIN into my .CCD file, is there anything else I should be doing?

Really? make sure your Y isnt set to something that could be getting the same damage results. my quicksave did it fine, as well as when i imported it. ninja with 18 speed and 19 PA did around 330 damage i believe..course my Y was 14

i'm testing using an unmodified ISO, so with a PA of 8 and a SP of 7, I should be getting 35 damage with wave fist (5 * 7), but it keeps coming up with 40, and altering my SP has no affect on damage whasoever.
[8 + 2]/2 * 8=40, this is the result I keep getting
[8 + 2]/2 * 7=35, this is what I should be getting if speed were correctly being applied

If you were testign with [PA + 14]/2 * X then what you should be getting is either 288 damage against netural compat if speed is being applied, and 304 damage if its [PA + Y]/2 * PA
[19 + 14]/2= 33/2=16.5, which truncates down to 16
16 * 18=288
16 * 19=304

Ah yes, my request, a Self Destruct which recovers HP instead of dealing it.

I had recieved 288 damage. i will get to zodiac...maybe im doing battle.bin wrong...quicksave works fine

yo skip & sentibal blade

I think fftpatcher has a formula listed incorrectly

Punch Art formula never used MA

check with the BMG cuz I reember running into problems because of this

my formula request is simple: the formula to be replaced is Rafa's 'Truth' formula (i forget the ID; i'm doing jury duty right now and can't look for it).

i would like it to be replaced with this formula: PA / 2 * (PA + Y) #Hits (1 + X) << this is basically the 'Triple Flame' formula but with PA instead of MA. could you post the change in this thread and the address where it should be applied?

PS
btw, has anyone figured out what the last formula, PA * Br / 100 * MA goes to?

Yeah, I realized that punch art is PA/2 * PA when I checked the BMG to make sure my math was right, but i'd still like a formula that uses PA and SP, and punch art is the best fit for an overwrite.
