Good. Wherever that is is probably doing the same thing.

I meant to say, btw, I didn't realize you figured out how to execute all of those av routines in the same command. I think I thought it was just multiple spell routines. Anyway, that's awesome. Nice work!

Spells can be tricky to switch effects around. If you have enough free space you can take the three commands that are used when a spell is called and move them 3 to the right and so on and so forth, but I haven't experimented much with that yet.

Though Chillyfeez your rin-battle Spell Routine works better than I could have imagined!

Kain will now have a unique command called "Dragon Speech" in which he will try to soothe and tame wounded dragons.


If the Dragon is not in critical, this message will appear. Signifying that it must be weakened further until it can be reasoned with.


If the Dragon is in Critical and this command is used, it will impart knowledge to Kain and will Retreat from battle.


In the Wind Drake's Case it is Reis' Wind or "WindR" which will restore 1/3 of all party member's HP.


With the basics down, I cannot foresee this project taking anymore than two or three days, maybe sooner depending on other obligations.

Question - have you merged Black and White to make a seperate "Skill" command? Or did you do something much cooler than that, like crack the conditional Black/Ninja mystery?

I really wish I did the cool thing but unfortunately, I haven't figured any of that out, though I haven't really looked (I imagine its a Class check, that sort of thing ordinarily tends to be). So yes, Skill and Magic are just renamed Black and White. Skill mostly has an assortment of Magic and Physical Skills while Magic... mostly has an assortment of Magic (and in Tellah's case the Break skills) This does also truncate magicians down to one menu, this would only really effect characters like FuSoYa and Tellah in any meaningful manner I would think. (though spellbooks all together had a few pages cut out to make room for physical skills and the Dragon skills).

Once I get the Dragon Speak down that will be it for the Final Five, but I'd still need to decide what to do with the other fellows. I've already decided to cut the Twins special abilities and use them elsewhere.  (no offense against them but they are the characters that are in the game for the shortest length of areas. Mt Ordeals/Old Waterway, I love them both, I swear! They are almost tied with Edward as shortest appearances, but Edward also gets to participate in the Fabul Siege so he beats them out there if only by a hair.)

Too bad - but understandable - that the twins get the shaft. You know, it's funny you say that, because I can't remember the last time I played through ffiv without level grinding the twins at mt. Ordeals until palom has meteo. I always get a kick out of how "wowwed" they are at Tellah's perceived abilities when they're already beyond him (I'm a dork, I know).

I should look into the Ninja thing. Seems like it shouldn't be too tough to figure out. Also, given that they provided space for a few other options, I wouldn't be surprised if the conditions were expandable (wouldn't that be cool). Maybe the next time I need a side project... The hack's really coming along now. Soon...

Ah wait, as in do you mean what calls the Ninja Menu to be a Black Magic Menu?

Yes, I have found that, earlier in this thread.

"Now Ninja is handled a little differently. Ninja is looked at...
$02/B9C1   C9 18   CMP #$18   A:0000   X:0000   Y:0006   P:eNvMxdIzc -
$02/B9C3   F0 64   BEQ $64    [$BA29]   A:0000   X:0000   Y:0006   P:eNvMxdIzc - Here.

And as we know from above that links Directly to Black Magic. Right before this is a CMP 16 which must look at the Dart Menu."

Now if you were referring to the actual stat menu to say "Ninja" instead of "Black" I have little idea.

No I meant the part that turns the (Black) magic list into "Ninja."
Now that you mention it, though, there would need to be a corresponding battle command, which would definitely complicate matfers...

It always annoyed me that Kain's entire backstory in the Scenario Guide is about him caring for the last living Dragon in Baron, yet not once, in any release, does he ever talk about Dragons or that the Dragoon Corps were known as Dragon Riders. While I can't make Kain a Dragon Rider, I can at least give him Something to do with Dragons and I always felt that in FFIV actions speak louder than words, so I gave him a command that will allow Kain to soothe the hearts of wounded dragons and allow them to Retreat without harm. In thanks they impart their wisdom to Kain and will teach him either a new Dragon Skill or a White Magic spell.

I am proud to say that my attempt to have Kain learn spells from All Wounded Dragons is a resounding success! Thanks to Chillyfeez's code and the mass amount of space that Recall gave me I managed to include a unique entry for nine dragons and the rest are handled with a Level Algorithm.



This patch will add three new dragons (replacing the "rare enemies" on the Three-Step Peninsula). One in the Overworld, two in the Underworld. Wind Dragon, Sol Dragon, and Great Dragon (WndDragn, SolDragn, GrtDragn)

The Wind Dragon can be challenged in the forests around Troia and yields the spell Reis' Wind, which will restore 1/3 of everyone's current HP.



The Sol Dragon is fought in the Underworld and teaches the spell Cyclone, which is an Air Elemental Magic Attack.



The Great Dragon is fought in somewhat rare encounters in both the Sylph Cave and Sealed Cave and can impart the situationally useful Dragon Breath.



The MecDragon (formerly known as D. Machin) is no longer in just the Giant of Babil (or else Kain could never fight it) but is the 1/64 chance in the area outside of Baron (and yet I've Still run into it three times) and will likely need a Siren to locate. It teaches the powerful Lancet skill which will turn Kain's ordinary attack into a Drain attack, restoring half of the damage that he inflicted.



Finally the Red Dragon can also be found not just in the Lunar Subterrane but on the Moon's Surface itself, and the Red Dragon gives the mighty Sky Rave skill, which is a powerful Holy and Air elemental attack on all foes.





The other Dragons teach White Magic and are merely meant to supplement Kain where as the Five Main Dragons all are given ample opportunity to challenge.

Green D. - Teaches Blink (Underworld/Tower of Babil 2)
Silver D.- Teaches Esuna (Lunar Subterrane)
Yellow D.- Teaches Haste (Underworld (3-Step Peninsula)) - Siren, likely
Wyvern   - Teaches White (Boss)
Blue D.  - Teaches Bersk (Lunar Subterrane)
Gold D.  - Teaches Slow  (Lunar Subterrane)
Clapper  - Teaches Charm (Cave of Summon Monsters)
Pale Dim - Teaches Exit   (Boss)

And here is the code (much of the looping and spell section credit goes to Chillyfeez!)

With this the Final Five are finalized. I can give Advance to Cid, but I'm not sure what I want done with Yang... His skills are only marginally useful and a whole skillset doesn't really fit the character. I might be able to make Gird to be more effective than it currently is (right now its awful) Focus is virtually untouchable (other than those Stupid /2 Defenses while Charging!) and Kick could take Elemental Weapons into account. Dark Wave will likely use a spell rather than its ordinary "go to kick" end to its formula. Cry and Boast are still up in the air and Regen will hopefully be made into a spell rather than a full command (Regen should have been a spell in the first place...)

And there you go. If I were more clever I could have put even more dealings into that Level Algorithm, but I thought of it fairly late in the process when I was strapped for bytes.

Things you can expect in this patch -

New Foes in various areas. Refer to above for locations.

A completely new and unique way for Kain to learn Spells.

Several enemies and bosses received minor changes to compensate the new skills and what was replaced in order for them.

All characters lost Venom and Weak/Gale and Edge lost Image.

FuSoYa and Tellah share the same spell sets.

Kain will gain MP up until Level 40.

With all of this in mind, I hope you enjoy the patch!

Ah, after sharpening your claws on some other-FF rewrites, now your truly creative side starts to show. This is all really cool!
One question... what's the three step peninsula?

Thanks Chillyfeez! Ideas like this come few and far between for me unfortunately. I can't think of anything else that is this far off the beaten path to attempt to implement.

The Three-Step Peninsula is...



This small little area is home to normally three monsters that you cannot find anywhere else in the game. Glomwing, Gorgon, and Tarantla.

I took those three monsters (On second thought I don't know Why, there's more than enough Dummy's to use) and turned them into the three new Dragons. The Yellow Dragon can only be located here as well (Outside of a Treasure Chest which holds one) at a 1/64 chance.

I don't know Why Square decided to waste three good monster slots on a Literally Three Step Area, but eh, that's Square logic for you, I believe that the Underworld was likely meant to be larger at one point and the "Three Step" encounters is probably a remnant of the monsters you were going to fight in this expanded area.

Huh... I was completely unaware of the Three Step Peninsula.
But, yeah, Square does that a lot, though... there's the Island Closest to Heaven/Hell in viii, the Goblin island in vii, several rare monsters on small islands in ix (though ix sort of encourages you to explore small islands), and I don't remember specifics, but I think there are some rare monsters only appearing in some specific parts of the ocean that can only be encountered while riding the ship in v.

Isn't the yellow dragon a rare encounter on one floor in bab-il? I think after you fall through the trap door in the crystal room?
 :edit: No. I was thinking of the Green Dragon. Sorry.

I thought so too, but when I looked in the data and rechecked with the reference site, I didn't see any reference. I do believe though that the Yellow Dragon is an enemy in a chest in the Tower of Babil, which is probably why my memory told me that he was encounterable normally in the Tower of Babil.

The Green Dragon however is all over the Tower of Babil Revisited (as a rare encounter), which has the same graphic as the Yellow Dragon. Which probably also threw me off.

So I decided to take a closer look at the Damage and Healing Spell Routines, because I never actually copied them since Yousei did it long ago, I didn't think too much of them, but now I'm starting to think that I can make an "Item Lore" function from them...

(Heavily borrowed from Yousei's notes, but this is for 1.1 and cuts down on that confusion and is easier for me to make use of)

I'm wondering if I can use that Item check in sacrificing the Gaia Drum (small loss) and  Titan's float check to look at Item-Character Parameter-x2 to Damage Tally. I think it may be worth the sacrifice.

Observe Cecil's damage, 100-120 with a Lit-1 Item


Now look at Palom's damage and notice that it is roughly twice of that.

In essence I succeeded in making Item Lore! Now that I have something in particular for Scholar, lets go with classic Chemist and see if I can't give them their version of Item Lore, also called "Alchemy".

Now let's take a look at the Healing Formula...

$03/D452 60 RTS A:00F0 X:01C3 Y:4510 P:envMxdIzc - Return.

Hmm, the obvious code to look at and get rid of is the Cure 4 check. I don't think it's necessary by any means. But will it give me enough space? There is already an item check for... some reason. Unless someone were to give the Silver Staff a Healing Spell (which it doesn't have), it was superfluous in the first place, which I can use to link to the Cure 4 code and have other things skip by it. Basically this one is all but wrapped in a bow for me.

Well... that didn't take long at all. Good bye Cure 4 Check and hello Ring-Dependent Alchemy!

Now this is full of redundant and old code, that I didn't want to touch as there was no need for my purposes. I have it working exactly as I had hoped.

Code: [Select]
$03/D426 AD 2A 35 LDA $352A  [$7E:352A] A:00F0 X:01C2 Y:4510 P:eNvMxdIzc - Is it an Item?

$03/D42E C9 AF CMP #$AF A:00F0 X:01C2 Y:4510 P:eNvMxdIzc - Is it the Chemist Gloves? (Cursed Ring)
$03/D430 D0 17 BNE $17    [$D449] A:00F0 X:01C2 Y:4510 P:eNvMxdIzc - If not, branch to Damage routine.
$03/D432 0E FE 38 ASL $38FE  [$7E:38FE] A:00F0 X:01C2 Y:4510 P:eNvMxdIzc - x2 Damage/Healing Field.
$03/D435 C9 06 CMP #$06 A:00F0 X:01C2 Y:4510 P:eNvMxdIzc - Remnant.
$03/D437 D0 10 BNE $10    [$D449] A:009D X:0004 Y:0000 P:eNvMxdizC - Leads to final calculation.


When Rosa uses an Item she only heals the normal amount.



But when someone with the right Accessory uses it, the healing done is doubled!
And in one fell swoop, with a little bit of research I accomplish both of my goals. Item Lore/Alchemy is complete!

This should increase the use of Battle Items while also making a chosen character better for using healing items.

So my Scholar Class (should I ever make one) could have... Piercing Sight, Black and White Magic, and (Default class specialty, not a command) Item Lore. Not a bad skillset all things considered.

Well this "hack" is right up there with changing Search to Taunt.

Damage, Status (Unused) to Regen

$03/DD92   20 FA E3   JSR $E3FA  [$03:E3FA]   A:0003   X:0050   Y:FFFF   P:envMxdizc

In addition I changed the healing of Regen to be less static, instead it recovers HP equal to the Caster's Will. It still makes little sense to me why they chose to make this into a command rather than a Spell because... it works perfectly fine As a spell.

$03/E3FD   AE 98 26   LDX $2698  [$7E:2698]   A:0003   X:0050   Y:0000   P:envMxdizc

I can't figure out why they would think to lock-up FuSoYa while using it. Fortunately the fix for that is just one toggle away in FF4kster  :wink:

Well this next post is small, and more for my own purposes. I wanted to make Cid use a "Mechanize" skill that would turn his foes into Robots and while everything looked fine on the surface I couldn't get it to actually "stick" to enemies (despite being put into their temporary stats, it isn't carried out of it) so I thought to look at something that would fit with Cid's character, but effect him. Then I thought to take the idea presented in FFIV DS of "Upgrade" where it uses an elemental item to apply that element to the weapon, and use it in a different manner.

This instead is called "Coat Hammer". If the first item in your inventory is Maiden's Kiss, Echo Herb, Dwarf Bread, Eyedrops, or Antidote, the status it would cure is applied to Cid's Weapon. So say you have an Antidote as the item in the first slot, this would put Poison on Cid's Weapon. It also uses the item, but in this a glitch appeared that I cannot figure out... though the item decrements correctly, it still looks to have its original value until used or moved.

This routine also makes an exception for when you have 1 Item left and that's to end the routine.

Now I am not feeling all that well today so this code is a little sloppier than I ordinarily produce, however it works fine. You can tell it worked when a cloud of smoke is shown around Cid (to symbolize him "working" on something.) And it fails when no cloud of smoke appears.

This gives an added use to Status Healing Items and can make Cid into a fairly versatile character.

I thought this a neat way to show him as an Engineer and as a fairly knowledgeable fellow in a different way from Item Lord.

The lost command was Cry this time.

 :edit: 2/5/2014 Added a fix for the Coat Hammer skill to properly decrement an item.

 :edit: 7/27/2014 Added a new functionality which looks at the Drain Item and the Gysahl Greens Item (changed for my purposes)

Because Whistles (10 GP in every store) have replaced all need of the Big Chocobo spots, Gysahl Green/Carrots in my hack are being turned into Homing Devices (Wrench)Homing. This will give Cid 255 Accuracy for the rest of the battle as long as he doesn't switch his weapons. This combined with the innate power of the other Coat Hammer statuses can be a powerful combination. As this should guarantee that each hit will 100% apply the status.
