Title: Command Battle Messages
Post by: fedorajoe on November 06, 2011, 08:11:57 PM
Pretty much the only thing left to tidy up in my hack are the messages that pop up when a previously dummied-out command is used in battle.
The commands in question (your translation may vary): - Pray - Might - Guard - Tears - Boast - Regen
All come up with a nasty "D" message. I need to rework the pointers, but this is something I do not understand how to do.
Frankly, I'd be open to just disabling the messages altogether. Does anybody know how to do this?

Are you planning to remove the messages altogether or alter them to become useful?
I don't know where exactly that stuff is located, but battle messages are lumped in a more contiguous area AFAIK. The command pointers to the message are another story... but might not be too hard to find if you look/compare to the FF4 (Japanese) ROM. At least in FF4, they are had some actual use/purpose.

I wouldn't mind negating the messages altogether. The messages for all commands other than Pray are pointless, and I was planning to make Pray 100% successful anyway.
However, I really don't understand how this works at all. My hack has required no pointer modifications to this point. I'm hoping somebody can walk me through one modification. I'm sure I could figure out the rest from there.

Not really holding my breath at this point that anybody will reply. :) But even so.
I was thinking that it would be cool to design some custom commands. I'd especially like to do a Gil Toss command. But, I haven't been able to find any documentation (here or elsewhere) that explains where in the code the elements of the various commands are. Anybody know?

I don't think they can be disable, but then again I'm not an expect when it comes to these things. I found this stuff a week or so ago. Glad I documented it after doing some trial and error. The offsets are for a headered rom.

Small correction to Shadow Flare's post.
Fake Tears/Cry is indeed at 07B324.
However, Heal/Salve is at 07B5A3.
Shadow Flare had both listed at 07B324.
Anyway, thanks to Shadow Flare for posting this, because it helped me a lot in figuring out how the dialogue pointers work. Now if only I could figure out commands...!
