Changing "Require Materia Blade" boolean.

[gil]

Hi!

I just registered because I can't find the info I want. (I think i found it, but not save it )

Well, I'm planning to make a patch. I'm going to have Paladins. They can equip Swords and Knight Swords.

In their skillset, they will have, for example, 3 swordskills, AAA, BBB, CCC, but I want the CCC skill be available ONLY with Knight Swords. Since FFTPatcher have the Sword and Materia Blade boolean, i wanted a way to use Materia Blade boolean for CCC skill, but actually checking for Knight Swords.

I know about ARH, but I just want this. Is there a easy way?

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure the latest FFTP should have an ASM hack that changes "Require Materia Blade" into Require (other item type) and you can specify which item type you want.  Looks like I completely neglected to add that to my ASM thread, but it should be there...

Actually, I found it in the FFTP source thread:

Thank you I donn't wan't to mess with ASM but I'm guessing there's no other way... Thanks
