Topic: FF2us Window Data

[Dragonsbrethren]

Threads aren't marked as new from the index, and since this was on page 7 I never would've seen your edits if I hadn't been digging around for a few offsets I forgot to note. Feel free to double post as long as the thread isn't on the first page.

[JCE3000GT]

Awsome, more and more documentation is sweet.   

[HHIPDragonFox]

  
I have time between to make notes, and I can wait.

 
My delima is where do I find the offset for the command to generate each item name.
I have the length of name to display and I've changed the length of all the items from 9 to 11.
It only shows the length from the original generation.
ie = "--/CFireyCla"  where as each name is 11 Chr$ long but it's generate where to show a 9.
- = space and /C = Claw Icon.

This delima is similar to JCE3000GT's first initial menu place of the ":", but I can't seem to find where the multiplier/generater for the names are.
Another hint is from 78000-78009  to  78000-78000B is what I like the game to look at for every item.
Same delima existed in the Item/Shop/Battle Won menus and the Event Treasure Get window and Event Item Give menu.
I couldn't figure out where in the section it's found.
00000-07FFF(Field Data), 08000-0DFFF(Menu Data), 0E000-0FFFF(MenuOther), or 10000-17FFF(Battle Data).
My thoughts were that 00000-0FFFF was to describe lengths and starting points and 10000-17FFFF was to generate every set.
so might I have been looking in the wrong locations?

here's my document list in zip:

as it seems this delima is in opposite contrast to the battle menus, where as I got the every item but the length won't change:

Thanks for the notice and help.

I've reloaded the file and the site still does that.

scroll down to Hexadecimal & Picture projects and select the second sitting chozo statue in the updated section.
<updated> b d <updated>

I welcome all updates done to the txt/tbl and rom files.
If you must do some other way, then addresses and codex in txt format accepted as well.
please no ips's, unless provided with a good ips patcher program that works well with winxp sp2 with ati radeon graphics (256mb & 128 aperture) and >1.5gb memory.
(the win ipx 2.0 version I have turns a 1 mb file into 16mb with corrupted data in the wrong places)
Thanks.

editted for the delima:
  I found that I need the number generater for every player name and class as well.

[Dragonsbrethren]

Some of what you're looking for (Loading the item names and character classes) has already been mentioned in this topic:

http://slickproductions.org/forum/index.php?topic=108.0

You'll need some basic assembly knowledge to make us of that though.

[HHIPDragonFox]

   Thanks for the reminder, almost forgot I read that.

I copied the asm codes into notepad and looking at it that way helped a lot.
I also have been reading that same area over and over for two months.

that's so wierd that Sqr made that type of code just to fill in space instead of using the value holders.

Picture of it works.  Thanks to Dragonsbrethren, JCE3000GT, Lenophis!!
http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF2US-rv_ed_SoHeresTheNewMenu.JPG

   Now I can figure out the rest......

editted:
   Uh! Hmmm.... seems I still need assistance on the other parts though.
   Item/Shop/Battle won section done.
  now for the Event Give/Get Treasure, and the name/class generate/multiplier.

editted:
done the name and class routines, found the name pointer is pointing to different area of rom (don't know exactly what part yet).
working on rerouting the pointer.

[Dragonsbrethren]

Cool, nice to see you got it working.

[HHIPDragonFox]

The hard part is finding and writing about where everything is and what is does first.
Then the easy part would be filling in what is needed, of course once the coding is done.

still continuing.....



Since this is a Window Data, Here my version of a Neater looking Window:
http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF2US-rv_ed_NeaterWindows.JPG

[JCE3000GT]

Got a guide on how to get it working? 

And did you do the battle item menu too?

[HHIPDragonFox]

 
The only guide I have is the one I compiled from me exploring the rom itself and from what everyone else had noted with their experiences.
Then I checked their notes with what I found and verified most and made note of them in more details.
The rest is just that I hold a lot detail and data in my head........(mostly like a cluttered broom closet!).
>>The .tbl file linked to is the self made guide for rom mapping of ff2us that I have<<

I didn't get the window borders yet.
 
I got the value for the Commands, Items, Spells, and Monster Spells to show up at the given generation.
This is the wierder part, the Battle menus names and such.
The window data seems to overlap somehow, but I figure that out later.
As for the Battle Command Windows(Commands, Spells, Item, Item Equip), the data is where the generate # (A9) is before the pointer address (BF) is and seemingly no length value (might be coded differently).
Then there's the window for displaying the Command/Spell/Item used.
I found that the Generate # (tagged A9) is first, the Pointer (BF), and finally the Length of chr$ shown (C0)

  Picture of Battle Commands and Items:
http://www.geocities.com/holyplasmadragonfox/FF2US-rv_ed_BattleItems.JPG


Now to just find those window routines.....

 
  My only problem is that I'm jumping between sections to0 much, but eventually learn something about the coding.
  My code viewing is limited with thingy32 and I can't see what I changed, but I least I know I editted something.

[HHIPDragonFox]

    14E04 = Battle, BF, 00 B0
    14E0E = Battle, 0F (A9)

That command length value??'s were a 5 and changing to 7 didn't damage the code functions for battle. Well still didn't find that griping code for changing the viewing length of the Command/Item/Spell Text, only found where the positioning pointers are for where the viewing frame is looking at.
Items marked "true" are what definitely changes or effects given area noted.
Viewing Frames, Printing Frames, and actual sizes to print are all separate entities in too many places to find at once.

Hey JCE###: as of October 2008 I can now move the columns of spells in battle menu, but can't find the column data for main field menu.
