Been searching for a full tut on how to use FFTPatcher Suite

[Hero]

Just need a link .. I searched the hacking area/main front page tuts/and help forums.

If you could link me to a great tut on this I would thank you.

Until then I will keep searching-reading.

Edit to explain more in detail..   how to open files / edit them... text .. events .. characters .. etc.. just need some basics atm never used this.

FTTPatcher doesn't require you to open files to edit, it already has the default data programmed inside it, so you can use "Generate New .FFTPATCH" and begin making changes immediately.  Then you merely use Save to obviously save your changes as a .FFTPatch file, then when you're ready to actually see your changes in action you Apply them to the ISO.

FFTacText works by merely opening the ISO itself (or a .ffttext file) then editing / saving / writing the text data directly to the relevant files on the disk.

That's why both these tools are considered to be "easy modding".  You don't have to actually remove any files on the disk to use them.  Merely open the entire ISO, make changes, save a file so you can have a backup of your changes, apply.  It's a simple job, really.

Alrighty, I actually figured this out late last night. Am still confused about tactext atm because I've read there are issues with .487 or w/e the recent one is .. so i should downgrade to .478? i think and re-apply somehow?

I will currently be busy today but tomorrow I am off all day long. I will pm ... on second thought I will post asking someone for some hands on help using Vent or maybe Skype on this day.. that way maybe I could catch someone who has some free time instead of cornering and bugging someone who has no time that day.

Hands on to me is the quickest way of learning and most fun.. I am still having trouble understanding animations tabs in the suite and some other areas ... my mind cant grasp what they change / or do exactly .. also alot of unknown tabs.. do these do something but are just unknown atm as to what they do?
