Does anyone know of any data relating to spell effects besides what's at 799A0-79F9F (headered, 6 bytes each)? I tried changing some of the spells, but there seems to be some hardcoding (or other data) affecting them. For example, try copying the data for Life2 (located at 79A18) to Life1 (located at 79A12). When I did this, the new spell still acted like Life1, and would revive but not do a full HP restore. So, there must be something else affecting it, but I can't find where. Any ideas where to look?

Does anyone know of a way to expand the palettes in FF2us? From what I can tell, the world map has 3 colors per sprite, and that won't work for what I have in mind.

I'd be curious to know if there is a pointer and "amount" ASM code that would be able to be expanded and repointed.  DKK?

For expansion you mean improving the palettes to use 16 colors instead of 8? I can say that wonderfully works for portraits, not sure about the rest of the game.  :blush:

The effect is pretty cool with FF4A portraits.

Palettes are loaded using a simple MVN, while portraits are copied and converted to vram using dma writes to $2118 and $2119 (same goes for the cursor, that's why my picture has it corrupted).

Gemini, could you post more details about what to change and where it's located in the ROM? That's a neat result, and something I hadn't considered changing until just now.

Well, I can tell you more or less what to change in the Snes version (the image refers to the Psx porting), but I'm not 100% sure it will work that way. Code was traced from FF2us, but it might be stored at the same offsets in any Snes version.

This one loads 8 color palette:

The attached package contains an almost complete set of GBA portraits already converted for the Snes. 0~1DF is palette data, everything else is portrait data. Frog, pig and minimum images are missing, but I will probably add them someday.

 :whoa:

That is really awesome, I wanted to look into upgrading the graphics to 4BPP myself but wasn't sure where to start, now I have an idea of how to go about doing that.

Wow.

As my first post around here I'd like to say that finding this forum has been awesome.

And second, of course on topic, is how cool hacking the 16bit GBA avatars into the game is. That mod rules.

I've been slowly working on my own hacks and have wanted to upgrade the graphics of the original SFC FF-IV version for a while. I've modded some town tiles a little bit by tweaking them within the original 3bpp graphics and 8 color palettes... But nothing this cool.

Now I know I need to get into the ASM side of this "hobby"...

It's about time someone improved the graphics.  :wink:

Are there things that have yet to be document battle-wise? I think I've about covered it all (I could be wrong but meh).

Does anyone know of any data relating to spell effects besides what's at 799A0-79F9F (headered, 6 bytes each)? I tried changing some of the spells, but there seems to be some hardcoding (or other data) affecting them. For example, try copying the data for Life2 (located at 79A18) to Life1 (located at 79A12). When I did this, the new spell still acted like Life1, and would revive but not do a full HP/MP restore. So, there must be something else affecting it, but I can't find where. Any ideas where to look?


I don;t know exactly the details, but you have to change the spell attributes as well for targetting, power, ??, effect1, effect 2, MpUsed(& Wall ignored).
Also there's a 4 byte number reffering to graphic color pallete, graphics 1, graphic 2, graphic 3.
Finally there's an extra byte for the "sound effects" the spell will make.
Example, change the White spell to a Holy colored Nuke type spell, change the the sound effect from there pearl overcast to the nuke sound and the graphics like:
Name    Graphic   Sound-v
Nuke = 0C 04 24 21  &  6A ; Holy = 06 04 24 21  &  6A
Life1 = 15 02 1F 00 & 27; Life2 = 15 02 20 00 & 27
                            ^size  type

I read everthing in hexadecimal and read it like a book.
