Do you suppose you could be more specific about what it is about the hex editor that's tripping you up? If it's about offset lingo...that's nothing, really. An offset in hex (which is how to write up offsets) is preceed by either "$" or "0x" and that depends on how the individual learned the art (though...where the two come from, I don't remember). I'd be surprised if the hex editor you use doesn't have a "Go To" feature. | |||

They usually do if I ever ask for anything). |

This is getting pretty far offtopic Anyway, maybe you could keep your first post updated with all the new stuff that gets added Kefka (the FF1 related stuff, I mean). That way when someone checks the thread they get all the info right away without having to weed through the whole thread. |

How do I change the size an location of the windows in the game? (Magic screen, battle, etc.). And, where do I change the pointers for where the game puts text in those windows? Also, I'm wanting to change the magic system to use MP instead of levels -- where are the routines I'd have to recode to handle that, and where in the ROM would be a good place to put the data for how much each spell costs? Yes, I know 6502 assembly (quite well actually ). |

Originally posted by NightHawk The main menu boxes are stored at $3BAB2. 4 bytes per box in order X, Y, width, Height. if the width or height are too small, the game hangs (iirc). If you want to seek out other box coords... the game uses a common subroutine for drawing boxes. Before calling that routine it writes X,Y,W,H data to $38,$39,$3C, and $3D respectively. If you set a breakpoint on writes to those RAM locations prior to drawing the screen, it should reveal the desired data.
Typically, the text moves with the window. I think the routine that draws the box also adjusts $3A and $3B ram locations, which is used as the X,Y coords for the text outputting routine. Moving text is usually harder than moving the boxes... since the text is often stored in clumps which can be hard to seperate.
I had the same idea . I already got the MP system working out of battle... but I haven't touched in battle MP usage yet, so I can't help you there. I was able to make a list of all the locations in the ROM which addressed player MP.. but I've since lost that list . All I can say is setup breakpoints on writes to $6320 *I think*. $6320-$6327 is where character spell charges are stored... $6328-$632F is their charge max (add $40 for the 2nd character, $80 for the 3rd char, $C0 for the 4th char). Note I'm getting these addresses from memory, so they could be wrong. There's an unused byte at the end of each spell's data. Erm.. that is spell data is spaced 8 bytes apart.. but only 7 of them are used. Spell data starts at $301F0. |

Originally posted by DischOkay, I'll pay attention to making the width and height big enough then Okay. Yeah, I've run into that. I know The hack you posted about on your website a few weeks ago is where I got the idea (Speaking of which, your Hackster program is what got me into ROM hacking). Okay, I was planning on leaving in battle stuff for last anyway. Okay. Okay, that'll be perfect then Thanks for the help Oh, btw Disch, are you planning on finishing FF3Hackster at some point, or making any more updates to FFHackster? Just wondering |

Glad I could be of help. I'm still working on and off on my hack... got a few other cool ideas in the works . I don't plan on ever touching the FF3 editor again.... or even making another editor of any kind. I realized that making editors drives me insane |

Originally posted by DischSweet, looking forward to hearing more about it in the future I have another question now, btw: what about the cursor position? I just experimented a bit with those boxes, and even though the text adjusts to the new positions just fine, the cursor won't. Anyone know where that's done? |
