| ack, i'm having a little bit of trouble finding a routine in the game. i've located where the game writes to $2005 to scroll the screen as the character moves on the town map.. but i haven't yet found where it (or maybe i misunderstand how) the game checks to see whether it can advance on the next tile. i haven't done too much searching for it yet, the later it gets time wise the slower my brain is working over here  . I just figured i'd post and see if anyone had the data already, save me a tid bit of time. if not, i'm sure it really shouldn't take too much to find it, probably just a clear head  and if there is a difference between checking to advance on the town map and the world map, i'd prefer the world map. not to be picky though, because any help would be appreciated. |

| Hi guys, this thread is prety cool. I had no idea so many people were interested in FF1 hacks. I was encouraged enough that I found this little hack (didn't see it documented anywhere): At 3f6e4 we have "ee 9e 6a ee 9f 6a ee 9f 6a". i.e., "inc $6a9e, inc $6a9f, inc $ 6a9f". What this piece of code is doing is taking the upper left corner of the enemy window in the battle screen, and then incrementing the vertical coordinate once and the horizontal coordinate twice. This is done in preparation for printing the enemy names. So if you change 3f6e7 to "ea ea ea" then it will shift the monster names to the left one and get rid of an unused space. I verified that this works even for multiple monster names. There are three other occurances of "ee 9e 6a ee 9f 6a" above 30000 or so, probably they probably have a similar meaning for different windows. (edited by Goongyae on 09-27-04 03:37 AM) |

Originally posted by Goongyae cool cool, somewhat along those lines, i have the offsets for the Main Window text's relative locations. Since about half of the battle Windows aren't drawn using the main Common Window drawing routine  . The bottom set of windows that display the Battle Options, Enemy Names, Battle Status windows, et cetera are all drawn kinda funky; read from the format and then written into the SRAM (which serves just like an extension of normal RAM during the game play) and then just does a small loop writing to the VRAM at $2007.that routine was, i think, located at $F59B as i posted a little earlier. I'm terribly tired right now, so i can't verify that, and i honestly can't remember if that was the singular routine for all of the battle windows that were written into the SRAM or not. I hadn't checked it things like the Magic Menu yet either, so i'll have to do that sometime when i get the chance. my guess as to why it chose this rather annoying (or annoying to hack, anyway) method was for the vertical screen "whipe" effects, in which the battle menis are drawn and erased slowly.. but i could be wrong. i'm still working with it, although i have many other areas of the game to focus on as well, so i might not find out right away. 3E0AA - horizontal spacing between text and left boundary of window 3E0B1 - vertical spacing between text and top boundary of window 3E082 - horizontal window border subtraction 3E089 - vertical window border subtraction and yah, FF1 hacking is my passion |

| Does anyone know where and/or how the game calculates whether the battle gives you "chance to strike first", or "monsters strike first", or neither? I'd like to edit it so that your characters' Luck scores influence it. | |||

| I am trying to change it so that a default party and names are selected. I have accomplished the party and so you can't change names part but Ii can't set the names. So I have 4 default characters with no names. Everything I read tells me to use a DTE table, and I have no clue what that is, so I just edit the names thru hex. I am making my hack like FFX-2, so I will have to start learning some 6502, but if someone could tell me how to delete one character so I only have 3 that would be great. So my questions are: 1. What is a DTE table? 2. How do I make default names (BTW, I have it set so its 5 letters not 4 )3. How can I get rid of one character? Any help would be great, thanks |

| 1) DTE is short for Dual Tile Encoding... a common method of simple compression. Typically... 1 byte represents one character, but many games use DTE methods to have 1 byte represent 2 characters (or even more, in the case of MTE). FF1 can use DTE to compress most of its text (basically everything except whatever is displayed in battle). There are copies of both the regular table file, as well as a table file which contains DTE information floating around for FF1 (some are included in the FFHackster download) However, since character names are displayed in battle, you should NOT use DTE when making default names (if you do they will be distorted in battle). Any docs that said you should must have been referring to class names (ie: "Fighter", "Black Belt", etc) which are never displayed in battle. 2) If I'm not mistaken... the same doc that explains how to expand names to 5 characters also explains how to add default names (I forget the link to those docs... are they listed in the first post in this thread?) 3) This would be a lot more work than you may be thinking. Most of the game revolved around there being a fixed number (4) of characters in the party. If you want to cut it down to 3 you'll have to do a lot of hunting and change a lot of stuff. Shop routines, clinics, all the menu screens, a bunch of stuff in battle, treasure chest opening routines.... everywhere that the game does something which interacts with the individual characters in the party would potentially need changing. Needless to say this would be a fairly large hack to complete. |

| Does anyone know how you could go about enabling DTE in battle? I mean, what exactly DOES FF1 do so those values for bytes can't be used in battle? EDIT: Also, the people demand insight on how to get the music engine to detect which battle's being fought. You know, for boss music purposes. (I'm thinking of it in if-then statements, which I'm fairly certain isn't in NES ASM.) (edited by drjayphd on 11-07-04 10:32 PM) |

Originally posted by drjayphd Well, I'll take a guess. I believe that the DTE is still programmed for the Japanese language. So it's trying to stack the characters vertically. That.....obviously doesn't work in the English language. To fix, you'd need to find the battle routine (that'd be my guess) and change what is needed. PS. You may have some luck finding the battle routine in the Prototype translation of FF2. I say that because DTE was enabled in battles... Find that, then you may get a head start. But, you might have better luck ripping apart FF1. *shrug*
Since the battle routine only has one song to refer to, there is no special code that would check for a different song. It simply loads the battle music. Although, I have no idea how music is handled, hell, I have no idea on most of what I'm to in this response. =\ *hides* |

Originally posted by drjayphd It doesn't prohibit DTE in battle... it just doesn't enable DTE in battle. For general, run-of-the-mill text output in FF1, there is no conversion. So when the game reads $99 for the letter 'P'... it doesn't think "okay, this value is $99, so output the letter 'P'". Instead, it just outputs the raw value $99 as the tile number(without any checking [except for null termination] or conversion). It just so happens that the 8x8 tile which represents the character 'P' is stored at tile ID $99 For DTE to work... the game has to check each value to see if it's a DTE code character... and it if is, it has to load 2 extra bytes and output them. This not only means that the routine to load the text takes a bit longer (which isn't really that big of a deal)... but also that the routine takes up more space (which is the big problem). AFAIK, the game has 2 (or more) text loading routines... one which is 'minimized' (used in battle... DTE not supported), and one which is used for menus (and possibly dialogue and stuff). Both routines [presumably] appear in different banks... so either the game is unable to swap in the needed bank to run the DTE routine... or they just didn't think to do so. Anyway... you probably could work around getting DTE supported in battle. If you find out where both routines are and simply cut off the battle's routine and have it hop to the other routine (of course this will entail bank-hopping, which means you'll probably have to free up some code in the 'master' bank which is always a pain). There might be complications, too. The menu screen doesn't draw the text directly to the screen... it writes it to an area in RAM first, and is later drawn to the screen (maybe the battle routine won't work that way for some reason?).
'If' statments (conditionals), must be in every programming language... ever. There's simply no [practical] way around them (and yes... 6502 has conditionals... they're sometimes referred to as branches) So yeah.. you could figure out when the game is loading the battle and have it check for certain battle ID numbers to load a different song when you want. Could be a relatively simple hack. The hard part would be squeezing in a new song. |

Ummm... I need to do some of the things mentioned in those documents but all the links are dead.  Could someone post working links for them? Thank you. EDIT: I know some people are going to say "Use google" but I've been using google for the last 1 1/2 hours with no good results. If there's no more web page, then could someone put up a file dl or something please? EDIT2: Ooops... I just realised someone already posted that here. Sorry guys. EDIT3: So many Edits!  anyway I thought it might be worth mentioning that just now I found a dl link to a few of the files linked to on the first page. FFbytes is easy to find but I found some of the other ones at a REALLY old topic at Elric's board which came up when I searched on google for the 20th time. Anyway This is the url for it(forgot how to do hyperlink w/out the button  ): http://eds.castledragmire.com/board/thread.php?id=3651&page=0#13749 scroll down a bit until there's a linking to a downoload labeled FFbytes, even though it isn't the FFbytes we all know.(LONG edit! )(edited by The Great Guy on 12-11-04 07:22 PM) (edited by The Great Guy on 12-11-04 07:26 PM) (edited by The Great Guy on 12-12-04 08:15 AM) (edited by The Great Guy on 12-12-04 08:15 AM) |

| I'm too lazy to re-edit this. Gentlemen... BEHOLD! Bonus Bytes, rev .1. ------------------------------------------------------------ Default Party: ------------------------------------------------------------ Offsets: Char. 1: $3A0BE Char. 2: $3A0CE Char. 3: $3A0DE Char. 4: $3A0EE Values: Standard:Upgrade (*): 00 = Fighter06 = Knight 01 = Thief07 = Ninja 02 = Black Belt08 = Master 03 = Red Mage09 = Red Wizard 04 = White Mage0A = White Wizard 05 = Black Mage0B = Black Wizard *: Use these at your own risk; they're glitched after class change. Names: Char. 1: $3A0C0 Char. 2: $3A0D0 Char. 3: $3A0E0 Char. 4: $3A0F0 There are four bytes to change there, all set by default at $FF, which is a space. You can change these to whatever... grab a table if need be. Remember, though, this will only give suggested names; you still have to enter the names at selection. There is a way to make those names stick, though. It'll be in here in the next revision. ------------------------------------------------------------ Background Colors: ------------------------------------------------------------ This refers to menus, intro text, etc. The main tipoff for these is that the palette is $0F-$00-$01-$30, which would be, in that order, black, white, blue, gray. The blue, as you probably know, is the background, so change all $01 values for the background. Menu Colors: $3EB3A (thanks, Square! Just one value!) "Equip/Trade/Drop" Menu Color: $3AD8E (highlight for selected option) "Weapon/Armor" Menu Title Highlight: $3AD92 Intro BG Color: $3A12C (This will not change the text fade-in color.) Towns: Ooh, FUN. Each map has a pair of palettes, one for when you're in a room and one for when you're outside. Everything in this series is a standard map, so it goes towns, castles, dungeons. These are the palettes themselves, not just the locations of the $01 bytes. Coneria:Indoors:$201C Outdoors:$203C Pravoka:Indoors:$204C Outdoors:$206C Elfland:Indoors:$207C Outdoors:$209C Melmond:Indoors:$20AC Outdoors:$20CC Crescent Lake:Indoors:$20DC Outdoors:$20FC Gaia:Indoors:$210C Outdoors:$212C Onrac:Indoors:$213C Outdoors:$215C Lefein:Indoors:$216C Outdoors:$218C Coneria Castle (1F):Indoors:$219C Outdoors:$21BC Coneria Castle (2F):Indoors:$21CC Outdoors:$21EC Elfland Castle:Indoors:$21FC Outdoors:$22BC Northwest Castle:Indoors: Outdoors: ...and so on. ------------------------------------------------------------ Speeds ------------------------------------------------------------ Walking: $3D088 Ship/Airship Multipliers: $3D08D, $3D096 Warning: Don't set higher than original airship speed, or you'll get palette glitches. If you use different speeds, the game may crash in battle. Their present values are $4A. Changing them to, say, $EA or $0A will speed up or lower their speeds. Canoe: Intro Fade-In: $3A2C8 Currently set at $0F. Setting it lower makes the fade-in go faster. Raising it to, say, $FF builds in a nice bathroom break for your players, because it goes REALLY slow. ------------------------------------------------------------ Black Belt/Master Attributes ------------------------------------------------------------ As you may have heard, the Black Belt and Master have their stats determined differently. Unarmed, their Damage will be double their current level. Without armor, their Absorb will be equal to their level. They also get double the hits of other classes. You can reassign them to other classes, as well. At 2D97A, the code reads "C9 02 F0 05 C9 08 F0". At 32DCF, the code reads "C9 02 F0 04 C9 08 D0". At 3EED2, the code reads "C9 02 F0 04 C9 08 D0". At 3EEF0, the code reads "C9 02 F0 04 C9 08 D0". The $02 and $08 bytes select the Black Belt and Master classes, respectively. Change all of them using the values listed under "Default Party" and you can reassign them to those classes. If you select a value that isn't in the list (ie, anything higher than $0B), no one will get the bonuses. In other words, you can give none, 1, or 2 classes the bonuses. In addition, you can also reassign them to a range of classes. Change all the $F0 bytes to $90. Change all the $D0 bytes to $B0. Now, as long as the first class's value is less than the second class, all classes between the two numbers, including the first number, but not the second, get the bonuses. For instance, if you change the $F0 and $D0 bytes, but not the classes, all classes between Black Belt and Master get the bonuses (Black Belt, Red/White/Black Mages, Knight, Ninja, Master). The doubled hits may not carry over. ------------------------------------------------------------ Hold Magic Switches ------------------------------------------------------------ By default, the Fighter and Thief get no MP until class change. They can gain MP if they start off as Knights or Ninjas, though. Here's how to tweak that. $2DC7D reads "F0 40 C9 01 F0 3C". Change the $01 to whatever class you want to be without MP. So if you don't want the Red Mage to have magic, you'd change it to 03. Just like the Black Belt stats, you can tweak this, to include a range. Here's how. Change the second $F0 byte to read $30: $2DC7D should now read "F0 40 C9 01 30 3C". However, if you're using FFHackster, this WILL be overwritten. Until someone changes that... ------------------------------------------------------------ Text Locations ------------------------------------------------------------ Intro: $37F30 Bridge: $36843 "And so...our world."

Both feed it 00, which is what the hack requires (one does it by loading the current value as 00, and the other ANDing the current value to 00). I really wonder why it was so hard for anyone to figure this out, since it's been an issue for years. I simply dumped the RAM, found out where N A S I R was in it, and watched for reads to that data in FCEUd when entering a town. It brought me to a line of code very near the code at 3CFEF, and a few opcodes down was a BEQ which was the source of all of the trouble. It branches on 00, which is what it gets from its checksum if it's true, so I just changed the EOR #$AE (checks to make sure the values sum to $AE) to LDA #$00/AND #$00. Thus, it always branches, simple as that. More Bytes! by Dark Steak Offset 0x3A12C is for the starting screen background. Offset 0x3A2E3 is for the fade-in text on the starting screen. While the blue doesn't look all that bad (for the fade-in) against most colours, the effect just isn't quite the same. This one staying the same as the others isn't as critical. Offset 0x3EB3A is the "general background." Nearly all of the normal sub-screen, the item screen, magic screen, most of the weapon and armor screens, status screen, party select windows, and party lineup screen backgrounds (all of them) are determined by this byte. What's fun is how this colour over-rides the starting screen background in block chunks behind the fading-in text. Those two must be the same, or it looks...off. Offset 0x3AD92 is on the weapon and armor screens of the main sub-screen. This controls a block of the background in the upper window where the hand-pointer starts, and stays behind most of what word the hand is pointing at. Must be the same as the rest of the sub-screen background or it looks just plain icky. Offset 0x3AD8E is also on the weapon and armor screens. This goes as the main part of the background on the box in the upper-lefthand corner, where is says either weapon or armor. This also looks amazingly bad if it's not the same as the rest of the sub-screen. The Black Belt/Master's fist's palette determiner is at 0x32DE4. The palette for the lit Orbs is from 0x3AD88 to 0x3AD8B. Name select screen's red window's background is at 0x39C7E. Shop Title window's palette is from 0x3EB84 to 0x3EB87. Current money in shop window's palette is from 0x3EB88 to 3EB8B. $32ACB-$32AD0: Code changes affecting printing of blank space and status string in battle character windows; supports 5 character player names.

| Garland's text should be in three separate entries... FFHackster will edit it. Music? FFBytes... check the music doc. Airship graphics should be fairly self-evident... crack the ROM open in a tile editor. | |||

| Is there any data on the MP RAM addresses or the XY data for the 4 "MAGIC"s on the menu screen or the MP numbers themselves? I'm trying to get it to display 2-digit MP numbers(I'll probably fail, since I'm VERY new to ASM but meh) and I have the code partially worked out in my head, but I have no idea where any of the adresses are except for what "MAGIC" says, but I barely understand it, I can just get it to say stuff like "[knife]GIC" and "caGIC" and once it said "M' yIC", lol. I suck, badly, at least at figuring out how this thing is compressing the text, though it seems close to the DTE for the regular text, since the equip symbols are the same values and the letters alone are, but 2 at once, I die. But anyway, with 1 address for the RAM magic and the XY stuff I could probably find the rest, I doubt square would be crazy enough to throw them all over the place, heh. There probably isn't anything uncovered since I haven't seen it yet in this topic, but if anyone has something, it'll save me alot of corrupting and guesswork! Thanks. EDIT: I found some RAM addresses, one I got while looking for the MP data the others are the MP data, so I don't need that anymore. Here it is straight from the notepad file it's stored in: RAM Addresses: 0061A0: Char 3's "damage" rating on the stat screen (unsure if it affects battle) 006320-006327: Char 1's current MP in order from level 1-8 006328-00632F: Char 1's Max MP in order from level 1-8 006360-006367: Char 2's current MP 006368-00636F: Char 2's Max MP 0063A0-0063A7: Char 3's current MP 0063A8-0063AF: Char 3's Max MP 0063E0-0063E7: Char 4's current MP 0063E8-0063EF: Char 4's max MP Man, I should've looked through FCEUXD's Hex editor earlier, I am such an idiot. EDIT2: Found what seems to be part of the drawing code for MP, when I change it it places MP values in odd places on the stat screen though some parts are intact, it only changes the main menu screen though, the magic menu branch of the pause screen and battle magic menu are unaffected. It's one byte located in the ROM at 3B9EB, the two offsets "next" to it crash if the value is changed even by 1 so I have no clue what those are for. EDIT3: Man I wish I didn't have to edit this much. Anyway 3B9E9 has something to do with the 1st row of magic points, for every char, I've got it to crash, act like it's normal, and get rid of the 1st row of MP, I'm going to need to look deeper into the data around 3B9EB to understand what's going on, unfortunatly, I don't know how to do that.

| Whee! I managed to add a B-button dash, like the remake versions. I used the space freed when i removed that annoying noise that plays when you open/close a dialog window. Who would've thought that noise would come out usefull? -- I also added a way to class-change to any class. You put the character you want to change classes at the lead of the party. You talk to the Priest of Dharma/Bahamut/whatever Your character gets changed to the next base class. It follows the standart character order: Fighter -> Thief -> Black belt -> RedMage -> WhiteMage -> BlackMage. Now i need to find a way to make intelligence matter when casting spells. It wouldn't make sense to have a black belt cast NUKE with the same proficiency as a black mage. Does anyone know if magic is factored at all when casting spells? Has anyone made a working MP system (like the origins and GBA versions? It would make more sense than having class change with the spell charge system. Thanks in advance. |
