Whether the monster uses a lunar script or not is determined entirely by whether you are on the moon or not.
So if you put lunar monsters in the Overworld, they will use entirely different battle sequences.

... Did that answer your question?

How do I know if a monster is on the moon? Is there a formation data somewhere that would have monsters IDs and map ID?

Not quite Chillyfeez, if you notice the Monsters on the Moon have normal AI setups in addition you can fight Slime and Tofu on Earth.

I tested this with Eukaryots and put them on Earth with a changed AI Setup (because the fight AI are basically the same from Moon to Earth) and they followed the changed AI setup from the Earth which the editor said they would.

There really aren't that many monsters on the moon and those that are only have their routines changed purely by index are in Bahamut's Cave and the Lunar Subterrane (We can see this in the Lunarian Lobby as well with the glitch "Treasure Monster" which proceeds to petrify itself) There is nothing signifying a monster should be Earth or Moon, you could put an Imp in the Lunar Subterrane and it's only problem would be its AI script would be askewed. I will take a look though. But generally every map after 346 (15A) except for the Lunar Passage maps would apply. For the record, Prokryot, Eurakryot, Red Worm, Moon Cell, Pudding, Grenade, despite being on the Surface and in the Lunar Passages do not count as Moon monsters. I'll do a quick ASM search and try to find out exactly why this is...

Found it! Much easier than I thought it would be to find, actually... breakpointed a Read on 1700 as battle occurs. I can see why you thought it worked that way Chillyfeez, but the game never checks if you are on the Moon, it just checks to see if you are in an area (03 is always area) so...

I appear to have been mistaken about the Treasure Chest Monster in the Lunar Lobby, that is actually a Red Giant as memory serves right, a Moon Monster who petrifies himself because of using default AI Routines.

What this also tells us is the game looks at encounters in the 0X80 range of encounters to activate the Moon AI.

I hope that was somewhat helpful.

I'm not sure if you fully caught what I was suggesting...
But I also didn't think it through thoroughly, so it may be a moot point.
... Or maybe not...

What I was thinking was, where you would normally put the trap door NPC, you put an event trigger instead (fight with trap door). Then, assuming victory, the tile just beyond that would be the warp point. You could use the same event call for every instance of this, except the trap door would re-arm every time.
This wouldn't be a huge problem, though in theory...

Ok, here's what I'm thinking:
Let's say there's normally a trap door NPC at coordinates 15,5.
That means that the door is also at 15,5.
You'd have to make sure the door for this tileset is a trigger (I'm not looking, so I don't know). The trigger built into the door would be the event call for the trap door fight (that would be the only component of the event).
Then, at 15,4 there would be another trigger point that would function as the warp to the next room. In the next room, instead of a "return" tile, you'd have a warp tile to exit. This warp would warp you to 15,6 so that you don't have to fight the same trap door again if you don't want to (but it would be there again if you did choose to reenter that room).
In theory, this would all work. You'd have to eliminate practically all return tiles in the dungeon because of stack issues this would cause otherwise. Some players might object to regenerating trap doors, but it would be consistent with the challenge level of Combat Boost, and a second fight with each would be entirely elective. By doing it this way, you could reuse the same event call for every trap door.
Does that make sense? Sorry, I was kind of thinking it out as I typed... But I think it would work.

It does indeed make sense, but I've never been a fan of those TrapDoors, nor of the rooms with nothing in them. Your idea would work if I hadn't planned to already cannibalize all of the optional maps in the Sealed Cave for new dungeons. Underworld spare maps are scarce and these seem the best candidates. 7 TrapDoor events and NPC's will be removed and repurposed the 8 that do guard something meaningful, if it's a Treasure Room the TrapDoor's will literally spit the treasure out when you beat them as the second part of their event, thereby the rooms they guard will no longer be necessary and I can free up those treasure indexes as well (not that the Underworld/Moon normally uses even close to 255 treasure spots...)

What about making the door tile an event trigger instead of a warp, then put an invisible warp in the next tile beyond?
The same event call could be used multiple times for the trap door battle, then the proper warp follows if the battle is won.

I would think it would make traversing the place much more annoying that Every Time you go to move to another floor or pretty much anything you're forced to fight a TrapDoor.. if I'm understanding this correctly? Also aren't Event Calls a lot more valuable than NPC slots?

Hmm, I just thought of a way of saving at least 8 NPC's in the Underworld and Events...

While recently playing through FFIV:DS I forgot how many useless Trap Doors were in the Sealed Cave, that is completely unnecessary in most respects. Because they each have to vanish they all count as different NPC slots. 15 NPC's, only a few are actually practical (though the scenario guide mentions that the TrapDoor's are mostly found in haunted mansions, which makes me wonder if that was the original plan for the Sealed Cave.)

Let's assume we get rid of all of the TrapDoor's blocking empty rooms (of which there were a lot more than I remembered...)

Sealed Cave 1F

Trap Door, 8,7 - 2nd Floor (3D)
Trap Door 25,22 - Treasure Room (3E)

Sealed Cave 2F

6,3 - (3F) - Empty Room 
12,4 -  (40) - Empty Room

Sealed Cave 3F

5,3 (41) - Ninja Star, Elixir
9,6 (42) - Empty Room
14,4 (43) - Empty Room
18,3 (44) - Ninja Star, Elixir Room
23, 6 (45) - Light Sword Room
29, 6 (46) - Empty Room
4, 26 (47) - Sealed Cave 4F

Sealed Cave 5F

22,11 (48) - Empty Room
25,25 (49) - Boxes Room

Sealed Cave 6F

3, 5 (4A) - Empty Room

Demon Wall Room

15, 3 (68) - Crystal Room.

And there you have it...

7 of the 15 Doors lead to Empty Rooms, that seems a bit excessive and we could easily cut down on those, which is something essential for Combat Boost at this point, along with using the Treasure Rooms for other maps.

So...

3F,40,42,43,46,48,4A are all of the Empty Room Trapdoors.

Hmm, maybe the event config should be updated to include these labels of what's behind the Trapdoors rather than the ambiguous hex that is used?

It... didn't work?

What happened when you tried it, out of curiosity? That sort of shakes my confidence a little to have it work for me, but not for others.

Hm, could have simply been a typo on my part or something... though I was sure I checked carefully... anyway the result was that it always healed 1/10 target's max even after making the spell power 1.

 :edit: Definitely was a typo on my part; I just tried it again and it worked no problem. Sorry if I gave you a fright!

This worked, for target's current HP. I managed to figure out how to change it over to caster's current HP without any difficulty.

Thank you all so much for your help!

I misread that part, that makes a lot of sense and is a neat idea! It wouldn't quite work for Combat Boost because of Kain's already beefy HP, but on a Mage character it does encourage the use of Apples on them, very nice thinking!

Heh, just good to know I'm not completely losing my touch.

If you wanna hold off for a little while on that, Pinkpuff, I'll probably explore each command to find the location for the performance stance for each. I'll make a little chart and post it here. I'll also try out all the different position possibilities, since so far I only have listed about 1/16 of them.

This is a fantastic find Chillyfeez! I'm glad to see this is finally being tackled!

GINORMOUS NECRO TIME!

I was wondering if perhaps some of our assembly miracle workers can enlighten me as to what I did wrong in the post above? For context, I was trying to make it so that the code for the "Resore 1/10 of target's max HP" spell routine, instead of healing 1/10 max, healed 1/(spell power) max.

For my hack, I was trying to create a "White Wind" ability for Draghinazzo. I figured if he absorbs Holy then if I made a Holy attack that dealt damage equal to caster's HP that would more or less do the trick. However, I found that instead what happened was that he would heal only a tiny amount, no matter what his HP was. I thought that if the problem I was tackling here years ago could be solved, I could use that routine and make the spell power 1 and get the White Wind effect.

Any ideas?

You asked about this a while back and here was my fix...

$03/DD5A   AD 9D 28   LDA $289D  [$7E:289D]   A:0000   X:004E   Y:0000   P:envMxdiZc
$03/DD5D   8D 47 39   STA $3947  [$7E:3947]   A:0005   X:004E   Y:0000   P:envMxdizc

When you look at the formula you can see that LDA is loaded again before it is reused for 2707 below, so it's safe to load the Spell Power into A rather than X in the first place.

Doing the best I can. There are some graphical oddities in the Ice Mines currently though. They're using the Feymarch/Sylvan tileset with a blue/white palette but for some reason it looks fine in FF4kster but in the actual game the walls glow red. Also the palette of the battle background is green like the Sylvan cave... is there a way to change that but still have the Feymarch and Sylvan caves keep their colors?

I'm afraid that there is not a way to change that, not easily anyhow The only solution is an unlikable one and that's to copy the Sylvan Cave background onto a background you don't wish to use (they're all used in the normal game, but Beach is probably the one least seen) since both the Sylvan Caves and the Feymarch are both still using their default looks both the normal background and the alternate background are being used by default in the game.

Quote
The Avenger and Ragnarok are two handed, as well as all hammers and harps. You need two hands to operate bows and arrows, so even though they're not in the range they still count for all practical purposes.

Ah right, that makes a good deal of sense all in all.

Quote
Right now the plot is basically going to just be what's needed to get the game playable and making sense from beginning to end. There are going to be a lot of optional scenarios near the end so I'll see what kind of space I have to work with afterwards in terms of fleshing things out more.

That's actually a very good way to go about it. It assures that you don't crash into a wall of lack of space, but instead are able to drive along smoothly and might be able to stop before you come up against that wall.

Above 1FFF, that "7E" actually means something. There's a whole bunch of RAM (at least 00:2000 to 00:4300) that we aren't able to view in Geiger's. The math registers are in the 4200s. I think the 2000s are used in graphics processing (because I'm pretty sure I've seen them used in spell visuals). But we'd likely need the help of someone with more knowledge of how the SNES actually works to fully decipher what's going on here.
Still, like you said, maybe some more will come to light the more you look into these. I'd be interested in seeing how this compares to, say, the Enterprise-Falcon chase sequence.

 :edit: Hey, I just made my "mark of the beast" post.  :laugh:
Just 111 to go til I hit the jackpot!

That makes a lot more sense Chillyfeez, thanks for the clarification.

Well as expected a Visual Effect in a map turned out to be a Lot simpler than the mess of World Map events... the Bomb Ring event had some wonderful information as well as some (I believe anyhow) unused effect sprites!



There was a lot of wonderful information in here and I *think* I decoded all of the important bits.

Visual Effect 03 - Bomb Ring Activation.

Visual Effect 03 -

Sprites... (Bizarrely there are no real valid entries until C0)

C0- Healing Sparkles
C2- Healing Sparkles (Slightly different looking)
C4- Bombs
C6- Nothing
C8- Unused circling fireball effect?
CA- Definitely unused, pretty cool looking Orb Effect!
(All the rest look like explosions, that don't fit into this sprite space.)

Theory time! The  Sparkles were meant to be used to symbolize White Magic, The Fireballs were meant to symbolize Black Magic and the Orbs were meant to symbolize Summon Orbs on the map.

0691 Matter

This is a very interesting byte. This decides what Layer the Visual Effect will appear on, what palette the visual effect will have, and what direction the visual effect is facing.

NOTE: For some reason it Has to be set to Odd values only, or it will have the wrong graphics.

Layer Appearances (Every 40 it repeats)
0X - Layer 2 Only
1X - Layer 2 Only
2X - Will be hidden by walk-behind tiles.
3X - Appear above all Layers.

Palettes (To my untrained Eye...)

X1 - Bluish, Whitish, Black, Red
X3 - Bluish, Greenish, Black, Orange
x5 - Whitish, Purplish, Black, Maroon?
x7 - Yellow, Green, Black, Orange
x9 - Orange, Pink, Red, Black, White (Default Bomb Color)
xB - Brown, Light Blue, Blue, Black, White (Ballon's Colors)
xD - Brown, Light Purple, Purple, Black, White (Grenade's Colors)
xF - Blue, Green, Black, Yellow

Directional Facings

01-3F Right
40-7F Left
80-BF Up
C0-FF Down

And there you have it! So much, in just one byte. Something tells me that this is probably already known and how NPC's probably look, graphically.




You're almost there Chillyfeez! A shame we don't have sprites back yet.

----------------------------------------------------

There is a Lot that was found here, but it's a very long routine and I'm only halfway through it, if not less. But I did figure out the way the ships are drawn on screen (but not their animations I imagine that would come later). I may leave that be for the moment and just move on to more map-based visual effects.

Those are all some really neat changes. Yeah, FFIV's Dwarven lands doesn't seem to have any water and judging from the reaction by one of the Dwarves to clear blue water I imagine they drink Magma, the idea you've made has a lot more sense to it. Also again, a Fire Area and an Ice Area are two places that are noticeably missing from FFIV so I'm glad to see you're rectifying that.

Since you mentioned two-handed weapons, will there be more available? Or are you using the slots available more judiciously?

Your idea for the Holy Fiend is great, while more story to go along with it (a subplot or something) would make it even more impactful, I understand too well the constraints of space all around.

Aw yiss! Works perfectly!

Though I seem to have hijacked someone's thread. The original question was about Throw...

 :edit: Er, upon further experimentation, while the visual is now totally awesome, the behaviour has become that it always uses the same effect instead of randomizing between the four...

 :edit: 2: Upon closer reading of your code, I notice you had typed D0 08 and then translated it as BNE 09 so I guessed that the 08 was a typo and changed it to 09 and now it works

More carelessness on my part (I even made sure to triple check it! Bah) No matter, you got it right in the end.

Throw is still a large unknown to me, when I was dealing with the instruction I found Nothing to link it to the graphic thrown. I'm sure someone will eventually figure it out though.

Very nicely done! So I imagine in this that the two other Dark Crystals might be in the Feymarch and Tomra (Tomra's just a guess) I love the idea of a full compliment of Elemental Fiends that you're using and palette swapped Rubicante actually does look remarkably different.

I just did a little research, I had no idea Calcabrina was also from Dante's Inferno. And it looks like the remainder will bear just as much resemblance to their mythical counterparts than the original four fiends (Ruffle-haired does not mean Zombie, Turtle is not Dog, Tornado is not Beard (but I can at least see some of the symbolism there), Red... actually fits Rubicante well, the term Rabid does not). Good use of the same circle though. I wasn't aware they all came from the same part of Dante's Inferno.

I really like that you're delving in deeper into the theological aspects of FFIV, if just so, with the Summons (and mages?) referring to Bahamut as a God to be worshipped and having one of the fiends as a Prophet is a rather nice touch.

I see you're making good use of the expanded shields (or possibly got rid of others) for left handed equipment for Mages. A good way to make sure they can actually have Defense Multipliers short of hacking the game to look at something else.
