WOTL asm?

[Pickle Girl Fanboy]

Did FFTPatcher exist when WOTL came out?

[RavenOfRazgriz]

Too bad FFTPatcher doesn't write to the routines we need, else it would be an obvious source of offsets.

For the doubters, you can see the WotL routine at the offset Raven gave yourself: it is indeed that of shell.

However, the problem with just C/Ping code from FFT-PSX should be apparent: the unit BATTLE.BIN offset table used for formula hacking in WotL is also in another place.  Thus, for someone to properly transcribe any PSX hack, they need to change every single load and jump command to load the correct offset.  Also, since oil already works in WotL, we only need the part on float.  Thus, the following should be correct:

Seriously, we need to automate this process and incorporate it into the next orgASM.

Just now saw this post. I tested it though. It still doesn't work

[formerdeathcorps]

What attack did you test?  When it didn't work, did the game freeze?

[drbretto]

an attack I made up that I was testing oil with (which works).

No crash. Just no effect.

[formerdeathcorps]

This hack I just made has nothing to do with oil.  It doubles wind elemental damage against float.

[drbretto]

I know...

But it was the same ability that I was using to test oil before, meaning it's magic based and should work with air elemental. Which it does not.

[formerdeathcorps]

Can you post a screenshot of FFT Patcher with the specified spell?  Also, this may seem absurd, but can you try flagging your spell as earth elemental?
