How do I disable “Smart Encouters”?

I'm playing a mod that has Xif's Smart Encouters. What I want to know is if it's possible to disable this modification or change it to have random encounters again?

You'd have to manually undo it with another hack. This one's my own modification of her hack, granting you the best of both worlds. As long as the mod you're playing doesn't use that specific kanji space in WORLD.BIN, it won't cause any issues, and it'll give you your random battles back when you want to roll those dice.

It worked perfectly! Just what I was looking for. Thank you very much and as we say here in Brazil: I don't even know you but I already consider you my brother. Ha! Ha! Ha!

I did some tests and it seems that this mod you shared is causing a conflict with the Fur Shop Synthesizes, when entering the store the game crashes. The regular Shop is normal. I won't ask you to fix it, because you've already helped me a lot.
Well, You can't have everything.

I don't know where all that data is located. If you use the View Free Space option in OrgASM and the https://ffhacktics.com/wiki/Offset_Conversion page, you can find a better location to put the kanji space code of my hack that won't conflict, by changing this line:

    <Location file="WORLD_WORLD_BIN" offset="13E100" offsetMode="RAM" mode="ASM" label="smrt_encounter_kanji">

Sorry, my knowledge of ASM is still very limited.
When I click on View Free Space in orgASM I get this:

I don't know what to do from here. :(

You would also need the synth shop hack for comparison in the program.

Then it gets harder to do because the mod I'm playing isn't mine. But thanks all the same, my friend, you've helped me a lot. I'll keep using your hack and when I want to use the synthesize store I'll change the game's rom in the emulator. :)
