"Who can equip" index
« on: February 02, 2014, 03:09:18 PM »
Did anyone ever figure out how to edit the "who can equip" indices?  For example, index 00 is "everybody can equip," index 01 is "everybody except for Dark Knight, Golbez, and Anna can equip," and so forth.

I'd really like to make several changes to this data but don't know how to find it.  I looked in FF4kster and don't see a way to edit it there.  I also tried several searches of the ROM in a hex editor to see if maybe the data was laid out in an obvious way in a table somewhere, but wasn't able to find it.

Thanks!

YES! I was so psyched when I found this.
Download the item reference .xls from http://rb.thundaga.com
The last tab has the who can equip index, and the data is totally editable (look at the last column) each of the characters on the spreadsheet is arranged in bit order. I can explain in more detail if you need later (I'm at work, as usual, right now so notta lotta time).

 :edit: sorry, item compendium .xls

Hmm... you actually Can edit it in FF4kster.

When you go to the "Equip" menu, and you're on the Index, hit Tab. That will allow you to edit the indexes to anything you pleases, the same applies to Status Effects/Elementals.

Too cool.  I finally have the equipment options for Golbez exactly how I want them.  Very satisfying to see him using Rods, Shields, and Dark Knight Cecil's equipment (excluding the Deathbringer, of course).

Can't wait for the next release!  ^_^
