[Luminar]

yy =    80 for Ramza (1)  81 for the character with index number of 2
        82 for char. 3    83 for char. 4    84 for char. 5    85 for char. 6
        86 for char. 7    87 for char. 8    88 for char. 9    89 for char. 10
        8A for char. 11   8B for char. 12   8C for char. 13   8D for char. 14
        8E for char. 15   8F for char. 16.

Edit:  No, don't know the list.  If you're not versed in Hex, now's a good time to start.  But there's only 256 possibilities (00 - FF) so increment up by 16 and you should find the english string rather fast.

e.g.:


30058032 0010
30058033 0020
30058034 0030
30058035 0040
30058036 0050
30058037 0060
30058038 0070
30058039 0080
3005803A 0090
3005803B 00A0
3005803C 00B0
3005803D 00C0
3005803E 00D0

 two of those should be english letters, if not more.  You can fine-tune it from that point.

thank you for helping me and enlightening me abit, i would assume after the name and letter, next tier would be 11 or A1, i'm gonna try it again later, my goal for 2nd slot is "Cloud" 3rd slot "Zack" and 5th slot "Aliste"

Well, you could also use FFTastic to edit unit names.

Yup!

Hex is a 16-base number system and uses A for 11, B for 12, etcetcetc F for 16.

So 10 in hex is 17 in base 10 (ie, normal, real world maths!).  One less than 70 (in hex) is 6F.  Work with FFTPatcher enough and it'll start to come naturally

Or, yeah, fftastic >_>.

FFTtastic looks really easy to use, now my next problem is a GME file, i prolly have to convert a save or something but how do i do that?
