Hi,

Like my last topic it was about FFVI and I rather halt the project because I lost interest in it because it's too much and I rather hack FFIV instead.

Well I have few questions for FFIV...

1) How can you restore the lost abilities such as DarkWave?

2) How can expand more lettering for items and the classes?

3) Is it possible to restore the dummied items and use it for my hack? like fight (instert monster name) and I got Golden Apple from him?

4) Does anyone know how to make Rosa's DISPEL magic playable?

I think that's all I have for now.

Thanks

Why not just use one of the translated hardtype hacks, or the "director's cut" .ips available on Zophar? Another advantage that those had if you wanted to edit the game further and have more room for scripted events is that many of them expand the ROM from 8 to 12 mega.

Thanks DukeNukem,

but however when I did the IPS patch thingy and then when I tried to use Blitzkrieg's FFIV editor... it looks garbage and I tried to use Hardtype and it gave me an error saying that the author doesn't want me use his hack.

I'm sorta stuck.

1) How can you restore the lost abilities such as DarkWave?

Okay, I don't have the offsets at the moment but I'll try to get back to you


2) How can expand more lettering for items and the classes?

This text is fixed-length text, which means you can't use pointers to make it longer. You'll most likely need to implement a small ASM hack to bypass using the original fixed-value and use something longer. Then you'll have to expand them menus and such to compensate. I'm actually looking into doing something like this myself (I plan on making the item list a single column ala FF3us, I don't really like it but I need the space).


3) Is it possible to restore the dummied items and use it for my hack? like fight (instert monster name) and I got Golden Apple from him?

Yes, but again I don't have the offsets. The multi editor can edit treasure chest and you can put the dummied items in them.


4) Does anyone know how to make Rosa's DISPEL magic playable?

See above answer. Once you have the offset it's easy, it's just a list of spells and the level you learn them at, you can even have her learn black magic spells in with her white magic (And summon, too, of course).


Anyway, I know I haven't been much help but stop by BlitzKrieg's forums (http://blitzkrieg.finalconquest.net) and see if he'll help you. I'm just getting back into FF2us hacking and cannot find my notes.

Oh yeah, I just remembered you could also insert tiles that squeeze multiple characters into one tile...
