I think nobody here knows about this, by i own a webpage at www.auritech.eu in which i gave full host to a project to bring new life to the old FFT for psx. One guy called Zodiac, is finding (and having success in it) all the Hex to be changed in some of the file that are on the disc for hacking it in incredible ways. i.e. it is already possible to change al the classes characterists, innate abilities, abilities costs, opening new abilities, chaging growth etc etc. It's something like a real revolution. even all the story and random battles can already be changed at wish and even the equips of the computer controlled enemies! The project is going greatly thanks to zodiac's hacking and philsov's releases. Philsov is the only guy that is working on releases at the moment, and he already sent out for testing 2 patches. the last one is FFT vs1.2 (for details head to the forum). so in this topic i'm asking for help from all the people that think can help by playtesting, hacking or whatever. Even the maps are on the road to be decifered! Even sprites might be changed providing we have the right tool. so what we would need is: hackers someone knowledgable in psx code or a disassembler someone that can make a program for editing the exes without having to do it manually (right now the changes are made throught excel and patched by hand) testers supporters anything else would be nice, even just suggestions. thanks for reading, Karsten PS: we might already insert the dark knights like in the new FFT for psp PPS: i hope this is in the right forum, but i guess it is since it's about obscure videogaming
great news! we just got a patcher for the psp and psx versions! hope this will raise enough interests for more people coming and making patches and helping in the hacking! head running at auritech.eu!
Reminds me of the old Final Fantasy 3/VI editor made by Yousei eons ago... I spent months piecing together my own side-story. I love Tactics though, had I any pertinent knowledge I'd be happy to contribute. ~Krelian
you are all welcome to the forums then! we got even an update of the windows editor, if i understood correctly, now scripted battles (story battle) can be edited as well!
we're having problems with partial graphic compression.... if someone could help us out i would be grateful!
a small update. the grafic compression has been figured out, and we have a decompressor, now... we're still missing a recompresson, but it's on the way also work on the maps is starting to show his fruits, and a first map viewer is available now and supports 3d viewing too! as usual any help is more than welcome! karsten
GIANT BIG update! We have a map viewer, and the chance of insert your own sprite is included in the new editor! next step: full text editing! testers and helper needed as never before!
