FF6 Improvement Project
« on: July 17, 2009, 12:34:53 AM »
FF6 Improvement is a project to clean up FF3/6 and make it more like how I think S-E intended the game to be, both in gameplay and in story and dialogue. This project has two phases.

Phase 1 of FF6 Improvement incorporates most of the known bugfixes that have been made, as well as some gameplay tweaks that make aspects of the game more fun, or make more sense based on later ports of FF6, or later games in the FF series. This is a baseline patch which has two versions planned: 1 standalone patch for playing the game with all changes included, and 1 incomplete patch meant for those who want to make hacks which go beyond the changes made in this project.

Phase 2 is a dialogue change which borrows heavily from the FF6 Advance script, as well as the Lina Darkstar translation of the original Japanese script. This translation is 99% complete - the only part that has not been changed are the Opera singing sequences, due to the timing changes needed.

New features that have been implemented include: B-button dash, color coding for MP healing and damage, a change to the SwordTech gauge to allow choosing the technique and having it charge after chosen, a new font and more!

FF6 Improvement is based on the FF3us 1.0 ROM, and will only work on that version.

Below is a list of the over 100 fixes, their versions and authors. Note that patch versions are 1.0 unless specified below.

Here are some additional tweaks I've added on my own and with thanks to the minds behind the ideas:
Quote
  • Changed fixed and variable-width fonts to resemble GBA-style FF fonts (thanks, Pandora's Box team!)
  • Massive changes to item names and descriptions
  • Massive changes to spell and Esper names and descriptions
  • Removed elemental bias - Fire, Ice and Bolt spells and effects now have the same power and MP cost if applicable (thanks, Tzepish!)
  • Changed "Gp" in menu to "GP"
  • Changed "Dirk" weapon type to "Dagger"
  • Changed "Knife" weapon type to "Katana"
  • Renamed the "Fight" command to "Attack"
  • Renamed the "Capture" skill to "Mug"
  • Renamed the "SwdTech" skill to "Bushido"
  • Renamed the "Slot" skill to "Slots", and the "GP Rain" upgrade to "GP Toss"
  • Swapped the Doom Darts and Trump (now Trump Cards) listings - so the name goes with the weapon sprite now
  • Fixed Setzer's starting gear so that he's not wearing something (Bandana?) he can't equip
  • Changed Sprint Shoes to Prism Cape, which lowers basic elemental damage (Fire, Ice, Thunder, Wind, Water and Earth)by 50%, and changed the game shops accordingly (thanks, Tzepish!)
  • Removed the 2-Hand and Runic properties from Daggers and Runic from non-sword weapons (thanks, Tzepish!)
  • Changed Ramuh's learning curves as follows: Bolt x10, Bolt 2 x5 and Poison x3 (thanks, Tzepish!)
  • Changed Ifrit's learning curve for Drain to x3
  • Added Meteo x2 to Raiden's learning curve, changed level bonus to Speed +2 and lowered summon cost to 70 MP - no more losing by upgrading Odin! (thanks, Tzepish and vivify93!)
  • Added the "HP x2" level bonus to Alexandr since no one else was using it anyway
  • Changed WoR music so that "Dark World" continues to play on the ground after you get the Falcon (thanks, Poco Loco!)
  • Repaired the Star Wars wingmen reference - Biggs and Wedge, not Vicks and Wedge!
  • Manually fixed the Celes Rushing It bug (thanks, Djibriel/ZED/etc!)
  • Changes to enemy names where appropriate (thanks, assassin!)
  • Changed the names for Umaro's enemy listings to "Yeti" - we don't know his name at the start of the battle (thanks, Tzepish!)
  • Changed mentions of "sasquatch" to "yeti" in the dialogue (thanks, Tzepish!)
  • Manually fixed the 2 single-enemy formations which can pincer attack (thanks, assassin and Novalia Spirit!)
  • Changed Vargas's Mortal Attack from "Blizzard Fist" to "Typhoon Fist" - they get blown away, not frozen!
  • Clarified the Ziegfried/Siegfried enemy listings and dialogue
  • Fixed the dialogue where items are explicitly stated to reflect new item names
  • Changed the Cafe signs back to Pub, and updated all relevant dialogue
  • Changed key item Cider to Rum and updated all relevant dialogue
  • Fixed a map glitch in Returners' Hideout which kept you from opening the hidden White Cape chest from the south (thanks, Tzepish!)
  • Fixed several invisible chests on the Phantom Train in Sabin's scenario (thanks, Tzepish and Lenophis!)
  • Made reachable a previously unreachable treasure at the beginning of the game in Narshe (thanks, Dragonsbrethren!)


Conflicts between patches that have been found:

  • Novalia Spirit's Naming Shadow fix breaks the camera starting in the tunnel to the Lete River raft scene and persisting after that. FIXED IN PATCH VERSION 1.1
  • Novalia Spirit's Vanishing Magicite Object patch breaks the game right after the end of Terra's flashback. The magicite stays where Locke was standing, and the game just freezes with the music still playing before Setzer can pimp his airship. FIXED IN PATCH VERSION 1.1
  • Lenophis' Economizer and Gold Hairpin tweak v0.1 conflicts with the ordered list data in assassin's Alphabetical Rage patch v0.45, causing duplicate Rage entries to occur in both the Rage Skill and battle menus. It gets progressively worse as you obtain Rages...by the time I stopped, I had 20 Rages with some occupying 2 and 3 spaces. FIXED IN PATCH VERSION 1.0
  • Lenophis' Ignore Defense Ignoring Safe and Shell fix conflicting with everything under the sun. FIXED IN PATCH VERSION 1.E
  • Lenophis' Esper Battle Menu fix 1.0 patch causes the Row battle menu window to stay drawn after being selected when using the Short (configurable) window option. FIX FOUND BY TheNattak
  • Novalia Spirit's Shadow/Chupon Colosseum fix will only work so long as Chupon's name remains shorter than Shadow's name. If you change either so that Chupon's name is longer than Shadow's, however much longer Chupon's name is will appear at the end of Shadow's name.
  • Novalia Spirit's The Sealed Door Fix 1.0 patch breaks the interior maps of WoB Jidoor.
  • MasterZED's FC05 patch will not allow the Blitz tutorial code to activate during the Vargas battle. FIX FOUND BY C.V. Reynolds
  • Imzogelmo's Gogo Can't Uncurse the Cursed Shield fix v0.9 causes Paladin Shields to be inserted randomly into character inventories.
  • MasterZED's Controllable Umaro patch does not work, but the hack was not finished and has instructions to follow after the patch is applied, so this is not completely confirmed. (NOT INCLUDED IN THIS MOD)
  • Imzogelmo's Not Scary Enough...NEXT! patch causes FF6 Improvement to reset when a flawless victory is achieved. (NOT INCLUDED IN THIS MOD)
  • Lenophis' Summon This! patch does not work with this mod - no details provided as to what happens. (NOT INCLUDED IN THIS MOD)

The latest version of the patch is 1.07, and can be found here.

Here are some screenshots of the new changes:

Once again, I must point out to not use the Ignore Defense patch until I can figure out where there's room in C2. It's conflicted with another patch with every modification. :isuck:

Bah, I knew something didn't look right on that list. Thanks, Leno. Is this something you've done on your own, or did you use one of Drakkhen's IID patches as a baseline? I only ask to see if there's any leeway in the C2 bank by modifying one of them if it's feasible. I hate to see such a good idea lose out due to ROM limitations.

Nah, that was of my own doing. The patch itself is very simple, actually. I just need to find 38 (0x26) consecutive bytes of free space, or else copy a few routines to bank C0 (not looking forward to do that).

That, or else try to find a way to optimize the space used.

:edit:

By the way, those two patches have been updated.

A ridiculously long time ago, before all these awesome bugfix patches came out, I made an FF6Tweak patch that made improvements to the game, and basically had the exact same goals you describe here (make the game more fun and less annoying - I also have earthbound and fftactics hacks on my website that do the same thing).  You are free to pilfer any of my changes, with or without attribution, if you wish.

Here's the changelist I made to the rom:

Quote
   *Battle music removed from certain areas.  Basically, wherever it ruined the atmosphere, such as the Phantom forest, floating continent, etc.
    *Cyan can now equip many basic swords, such as the Mithril Sword.
    *Daggers can't be used two-handed with the Gauntlet relic, nor can Celes use them with her
     Runic ability (except the Gladius).  It just didn't make much sense that they could be
     used in such ways.
    *Elemental bias removed.  Ice spells are no longer stronger than Fire spells, etc.
    *Gau and Locke can no longer equip heavy armor items, like Iron Armor.
    *Esper spells have been changed a bit.  Basically, espers have had weaker spells added to
     their lists (Golem now teaches Cure and Cure 2 instead of just Cure 2, etc.).
    *Ifrit now teaches Drain x2 instead of Drain x1.  Drain shouldn't be the hardest spell in
     the game to learn.
    *Item/equipment names fixed/changed.  Some items were renamed because of space limitations, or
     because more accurate names for their effects existed.
    *Leo can now use sword techniques.  It seemed to make sense.
    *Odin's (Raiden's) level up bonus is now Speed+1, and he now offers Meteo x2 in additon to Double x1.
     He only costs 70 MP to summon now.  Upgrading Odin to Raiden no longer results in a loss.
     His name has been changed back to Odin, too (he *is* still Odin).
    *Original "Final Fantasy 6" title screen restored.
    *Original monster and esper graphics restored.
    *Ramuh's spells have changed from Bolt 2 x2, Poison x5 to Bolt 2 x5, Poison x2.  I don't know
     why you could learn Bolt 2 faster from Maduin than from Ramuh...
    *Rename Cards can now be purchased, just for the hell of it.  All Rename Card interactions
     in the Dragon's Neck Colosseum have been "skipped over" to preserve game balance (I don't
     want you buying Rename Cards and getting Growth Eggs out of them in the Colosseum).
    *Setzer's weapons were always same damage from the backrow items - now they display as such.
     In fact, many items had properties that weren't being displayed, so I rewrote all the item
     descriptions.
    *Shadow can now equip Cyan's Katanas.  This made sense, and didn't skew the balance
     much, since Shadow is a somewhat weak character.
    *Sprint Shoes no longer exist; characters move at double speed by default.
    *Sprint Shoes replaced with an "Element Ward" that lowers elemental damage by 50%.

There were probably other changes too, but I haven't touched or looked at this thing in a thousand years.

this guy has already made an FF6 MegaPatch:

i first came across it when narcissistically googling myself in late 2006.  and his website is very barebones, so you know he means business.

Shadow? Weak?

 You must not be a fan of the Throw command.

^ Shadow fits in with a certain subset of RPG characters that are too good / broken.  When you don't use the brokenness (in this case, Throw), then they are underpowered.  Powering him up by allowing him to use katanas only helps his underpowered-ness, and doesn't affect his overpowered-ness (Throw is still equally awesome as it was before).  If that makes sense.

That is an awesome list of fixes, Tzepish! I might take you up on your offer; of course you'll get credit.

I'm taking a look at that now to see how similar our lists of patches are.

As for my walkthrough, the world has been destroyed, but Cid lives! I'm just leaving Albrook; now I guess we'll start seeing the situations the majority of these patches were made to fix...

Yeah, he's pretty much got the same patches as I do, minus the Lenophis and Dragonsbrethren patches and the font change. I'm thinking seriously about adding some of the changes Tzepish made to differentiate my patch from this one, as well as the change Poco Loco is talking about in his new thread, but if I do that means I start all over on my playthrough. Oh darn. ;)

And actually, that'll give me a chance to try NS's new versions of his patches. I might actually do that, but it'll take me a while to incorporate some of these changes.

Tzepish, which ROM version did you use for your changes, and did you do it on a fresh copy or a patched one?

OK, I've added some personal touches to the project and updated the OP.

Right now I'm re-adding the patches and starting over the playthrough to see if anything's broken by the new additions.

nice man

I was also working on a bunch of other things as well

my over-all hack is changing around A LOT of shyt

for instance, all my mugshots are changed, I touched up the way most of the characters look, not only that, I'm also making the game over-all much more difficult, I mean sure there are gonna be HUGE altercations to how everyone is, for instance there will only be 4 chars that can use magic (Terra, Celes, Strago, and Relm) but to balance it out, all the espers teach more spells and chars learn the spells MUCH faster, I'm also changing around a lot of lores making custom new spells, getting rid of some old ones, adding new equipment while taking certain things out (like brushes ewww lol) and yeah I also wanna change the music as well and even add new songs to the game

I also wanna follow in Pandora's Box's footsteps and add more letters to the menu and whatnot

but yea THAT is a lot of work lol

That's cool, Poco! I like the game and the story *almost* the way it is...and after changing the worst bits, there's not much I can think of to improve on it.

That being said, I picked up the "fixed" version of FF3ed, and I noticed while looking around for it that people are cautioning that it can corrupt your ROM. I'm working with a copy of my hack, but I wanted to know what I should worry about. The only things I'm really doing are changing some battle event text and cleaning up dialog text where it's really rough.

Are there things I should avoid doing, or be careful of?
