Yes, the freed up bytes of Peep may allow you to have something much larger. A Blue Magic command fully equipped with Learning though...? Hmm... You may be able to use the code of Auto-Hide (which I should explore fuller rather than just finding who it effects.) as a start to have it always on, so when your character is hit by those specific effects they automatically (or have a chance?) to learn said spell, since all Auto-Hide does is execute (almost without a doubt) is the (7E2X86) Auto-Hider in Critical? Then Used Command Hide. If you set up a range of Monster Spells and change that to "Is Learner being hit with a spell above say 60 (Start of Monster Spells) Then... Is the Learner being hit with a spell after 60 (18 Bytes, 24 spells to a spell set so...) is it before 78? (If either of these are untrue, return). Then add the spell directly to the spell set. IF not already there.

That seems like it might be the best way to set up an FFIV Blue Mage. I'll see about finding out more about Auto-Hide shortly.

I actually was planning on having it be a user-activated command, a la Gau's Jump in FFIV. The base would be similar to Copy - execute "Learn" after a monster uses a Tech (and before it makes its next move - while the command is still in the "next sub-action" byte in RAM) and if that spell is set to be learnable, you'll learn it (if not already learned).
But if we could figure out how to make it automatic... well that would be fantastic!
I figured that Auto-commands (remember, there's auto-Cover, too) were limited to characters that had the same command as executable, too. If I'm not mistaken, any character that can execute Hide will auto-hide when critical. I'd love to find out I was mistaken, though.

My notes on Auto-Hide lead me on quite a hunt and I may have found the start of a character's turn dealings in hex...

Which is the Routine revolving the activation of Edward's Auto-Hide command.




Hmm, you were quite mistaken about the Auto-Commands.

Auto-Cover looks for Paladin Cecil Specifically (any other character that uses Cover is thereby protected by the Paladin) but is disabled when the Dark Knight is present (which can never logically happen...)

Auto-Hide looks for Edward's ID, sees that it is his, and then uses the command.

http://slickproductions.org/forum/index.php?topic=1754.msg18211#msg18211

Quite old info. by this point, but I can see how those sorts of things could fall through the cracks.

Aside from Auto-Cover and Auto-Hide I can't think of any other Auto-Commands off the top of my head, unless you consider Berserk to give Auto-Fight (which is likely does)

Though the information is quite old. The new information above allows you to switch the conditions for activating Auto-Hide (in one instance. Its likely not too useful or reliable because this instance is so specific. It Has to be Edward's Turn, when he is put in critical for this instance to occur, which means there must be another instance I haven't located. Likely close to the second instance at 03AB56. I'll take a look at that a little bit later and see if that will make it work once and for all.

Huh... Intriguing. I might be able to alter these conditions to make an auto-learn happen (...maybe...) but unless I'm missing it, the instruction to actually execute Hide isn't here, right?

« Reply #139 on: October 17, 2013, 08:02:07 PM »
That is correct. In what I found is If Edward is knocked into Critical While his Turn is Active, get rid of his menu. The rest of the code assumes that Auto-Hide is running from its proper course elsewhere.



Hmm, there's a bit of interesting dealings around this area as well...

And there you have it. The way Hide works and the ways to modify it. The entire point of the Critical Check seems Purely for Edward's Auto-Hiding purpose. And the means to switch conditions (and targeting from the looks of it) seems quite a simple matter. But for the purposes of what you want to use it for, it doesn't even need to be a command. Just something that especially looks at the character and responds appropriately.

While looking for In-battle names in memory I stumbled upon what makes Yang unique as for how his damage is calculated. This is quite important as this is the first time I've seen actual damage formulas being compiled and created.

Attack Building Formula

Well, well! Looks like DeathLike2's Formula for Yang's Attack was almost 100% on the mark! The only miscalculation was Level x2 +2 rather than +1, but its so miniscule anyhow. This is where I would normally stop and look at the collected results above, but unlike a normal routine, this just ends abruptly so I have to follow it back from the RTS. Maybe this will, in the end, reveal the location of all Attack Formula.

And there we go! I have to head out for a short while, but this should be good enough to post. It is clear now that the other attack formula are probably very nearby. Likely in between the bytes that read specifically Yang in the first bit of code above. Because clearly this second portion of code is used by every attack formula I would imagine.


And it seems I was right. The normal attack building formula is within. Though there is a lot of reference to this 3977 byte that I've erroneously called "Is it Yang?" since it seems to be used for a lot of other dealings as well.

And it would seem I was wrong all around for Critical Hits and Critical Hit Bonuses. They aren't unique to each character but it seemed that way to me because I did not think Level or Strength would play into it at all.

This did reveal two more things as well...

Bytes 41 and 42 of Character's data is Level /4 and Levelx2. When not cheating, it appears. Hence why just changing the levell doesn't actually appear to do much of anything on its own.

 :edit: And the Bow and Arrow section has been added! That only leaves dual weapons, I would think.

As to how to figure out Bow/Arrow Formula... well let's see...

Base Attack Power = Bow's Attack Power/2 + Arrow's Attack Power + Str/4

This is entirely accurate as the data above would attest.

It appears to be Bow Attack /2 + Arrow Attack, + Str/4 = Attack Power. Testing with default Rosa shows the power of the bow is turned to 05, then the Arrow's attack is added and the Strength bonus is included.

Now for...

If the bow is in the character's primary hand...

Base Attack Power = Base Attack Power (Bow and Arrow) * 4/5

That too is 100% accurate. The game takes it through a routine which chops the main power of the attack by 1/5 in total.

 :edit: And Dual Wielding is finished which means this Formula Building should be done all in all.

The Algorithm FAQ says...


Edge (when he has both hands in use):

Base Attack Power = Weapon on Left Hand's Attack Power +
                    Weapon on Right Hand's Attack Power +
                    (Str/4 + Level/4)*2

And it was right on the dot. Weapon Attack Power + Str/4 + Level/4 * 2 is indeed the formula that is put together for this.

The post above now contains the Attack Building Formulas for...

Normal Weapons, Yang, Bow/Arrows (Arrows/Bow as well), and Dual-Wielding, this is of most value in the special cases as the normal weapon routine only goes through the necessities that these others mostly go through as well.  However changing the special cases is likely difficult since they only reinforce values from the normal routines for the most part.

Maybe I'll get around to updating my guide, but that seems like forever and maybe some event would get me going on that.

I got the Yang algo and Edge algo from the original BSiron FAQ.

With respect to the Bow+Arrow algo, I had an actual epiphany one day. It never made sense as to how it was calculated until I went trying out different Bows and doing the math. FF4A revealed quite a bit of the critical hit details.

Hmm... Well let's take a closer look at that Level Up Data (After 70) shall we?

It's been a while since I delved into the coding, but I decided to take a look at how Auto-Cover works and I think I found Part of the answer.

$03/AFA8 AD 5E 35 LDA $355E  [$7E:355E] A:0081 X:0000 Y:0000 P:eNvMxdizC - Load Paladin Slot

Final Fantasy II (The Real Final Fantasy II) was an interesting experiment with some good ideas here and there.

I was looking through their spells and came across a very interesting Black Magic which seems like it would be a neat addition to FFIV.

Aura - Aura is a Black Magic spell that adds elements to physical attacks depending on its level. Any character can learn Aura by the use of Aura Tome (called the Aura Scroll in the Origins release).

Aura adds the following effects per success:

1: Extra damage vs. Magic Beasts
2: Extra damage vs. Aquatic
3: Extra damage vs. Earth
4: Extra damage vs. Giants
5: Extra damage vs. Spellcasters
6: Extra damage vs. Dragon
7: Extra damage vs. Werebeasts

This is a very creative and absolutely fascinating idea! I think it would fit perfectly in FFIV with a bit of a different execution...

Every 10 Wisdom will enable a new addition to the effectiveness of the spell so...

Default - x4 Zombie (Add 80)
20 Wisdom - x4 Mage (Add C0)
30 Wisdom - x4 Spirit (Add C8)
40 Wisdom - x4 Robot (Add CA)
50 Wisdom - x4 Reptile (Add CE)
60 Wisdom - x4 Giant (Add DE)
70 Wisdom - x4 Slime (Add FE)
80 Wisdom - x4 Dragon (Add FF)

Now I've built code but for some reason it doesn't work. It makes the game hang, but not outright crash and I can't figure out why... (Currently replacing Dispel for testing purposes)

Code: [Select]
$03/D8B0 EA NOP A:0003 X:0020 Y:0000 P:envMxdizc - NOP (Not used in the final, just a remnant and has been replaced. Is not the issue)
$03/D8B1 E2 10 SEP #$10 A:0003 X:0020 Y:0000 P:envMxdizc - Set Processor to 8 bit (so X only reads one byte instead f 2)

$03/D8D2 90 0E BCC $0E    [$D8E2] A:0063 X:00CE Y:0000 P:envMXdizC - Branch if less to 03D8E2.

$03/D8D6 C9 46 CMP #$46 A:0063 X:00DE Y:0000 P:eNvMXdizC - Compare to 70.
$03/D8D8 90 08 BCC $08    [$D8E2] A:0063 X:00DE Y:0000 P:envMXdizC - Branch if less to 03D8E2.

$03/D8E2 8E 1A 27 STX $271A  [$7E:271A] A:0063 X:00FF Y:0000 P:eNvMXdizC - Store X in Strong vs. Creature Type Byte.
$03/D8E5 C2 10 REP #$10 A:0000 X:0080 Y:0000 P:envMXdiZc - Reset Processor Status from 8-Bit
$03/D8E7 60 RTS A:0063 X:00FF Y:0000 P:eNvMXdizC - Return

Now for some reason this doesn't appear to work. I've followed it in code and everything Should work right, it goes through the new formula without a whimper but it is never actually written to 271A and the game hangs from there on. The only thing I can figure is that SEP 10 which is crucial to having this keep the proper amount of space is wrecking the game somehow, despite it being put right back to 20.

Oh... I figured it out. I wanted to Reset the Processor Status of 10, not force a switch.

Alright! Looks like Aura works just as I had hoped!

Well that was fun and I learned a bit more about ASM in the process!

Re: Grimoire LD's Notes, Methods, and Hacks (FFI spell routines in FFIV!)

I was looking at FFIII DS's commands and some of them are rather neat. I've tried to port a couple of them into FFIV while keeping the spirit of the original command alive starting with Advance (now renamed Advnc).

In FFIII DS this increases your attack power and lowers your defense dependent on how high your job level is. In FFIV I decided to change it so that it your attack power will increase dependent on your current Strength and will subtract your Strength from your defense. To prevent stacking this, when it is used the command changes (invisibly) to Parry, so it cannot be stacked.

Code: [Select]
$03/E876 A6 A6 LDX $A6    [$00:00A6] A:0003 X:0012 Y:0000 P:envMxdizc - Load User's Position into X.
$03/E878 A9 09 LDA #$09 A:0003 X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdiZc - Load 09 into A (Graphic for Berserk)
$03/E87A 8D C4 33 STA $33C4  [$7E:33C4] A:0009 X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizc - Store A in Audiovisual Code.
$03/E87D BD 14 20 LDA $2014,x[$7E:2014] A:0009 X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizc - Load User's Modified Strength into A.
$03/E880 7D 1D 20 ADC $201D,x[$7E:201D] A:000D X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizc - Add User's Attack Base into A.
$03/E883 C9 FF CMP #$FF A:002E X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizc - Is it above 255?
$03/E885 90 02 BCC $02    [$E889] A:002E X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizc - If not branch to 03E889
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Code here to set Attack to FF) A9 FF
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$03/E889 8D 1D 20 STA $201D  [$7E:201D] A:002E X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizc - Store A in User's Attack Base.
$03/E88C BD 2A 20 LDA $202A,x[$7E:202A] A:002E X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizc - Load User's Defense Base into A.
$03/E88F FD 14 20 SBC $2014,x[$7E:2014] A:0011 X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizc - Subtract A from User's Strength.
$03/E892 B0 02 BCS $02    [$E896] A:0003 X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizC - If more than 00 branch to 03E896.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Code here to set Defense to 01) A9 01
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$03/E896 8D 2A 20 STA $202A  [$7E:202A] A:0003 X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizC - Store A in User's Defense Base.
$03/E899 A9 1B LDA #$1B A:0003 X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizC - Load 1B (Parry) into A.
$03/E89B 9D 0F 33 STA $330F,x[$7E:330F] A:001B X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizC - Store A in Advnc's current position.
$03/E89E 60 RTS A:001B X:0000 Y:0000 P:envMxdizC - Return.

And this works absolutely flawlessly! It keeps the spirit of the FFIII Command (using Strength instead of Job Level) and goes on from there.

Unfortunately most of the other commands seem a bit beyond me (Barrage seems neat, with 4 random attacks using 4 arrows, but having it target random foes is tricky as is multiple attacks) and Geomancy is a bit silly in a game where 75% of the game is Caves) and while I would Love to include some form of Item Lore, there's really no room in the Magic Formula where it counts. It wouldn't be difficult to combine FFIII DS's version of Scan with FFIV's Command. Maybe next I'll try to tackle some FFIV-TAY abilities. Piercing Sight was always one of my favorite from a thematic basis.

Regarding your Aura spell - is there a particular reason you chose
Zombie
Mage
Spirit
Robot
Reptile
Giant
Slime
Dragon

Instead of
Zombie
Mage
Slime
Giant
Spirit
Reptile
Machine
Dragon

I think I can think of a way the code could be shorter if you were to follow the "natural order" of creature types. Not that it needs to be, it's just fun for me to think about that kind of thing.

Ah, the reason I put it that way was to keep it useful through the entire game rather than lulls off in usefulness or is a little too overpowered. That's the problem with Slime being a bit early, it could make Flans not very threatening. But perhaps at 70 Wisdom it comes too late... and if you can squeeze the instructions down a bit so that it can occupy another spot and not Dispel, per se that might be for the best as well.

Sure, the natural order might work better from an efficiency stand point.

You could get the best of both worlds with a lot of work, by changing around which monsters have which race flags set so that the "natural order" is the preferred order... (i.e. make it so all the slime monsters have the race that normally would indicate spirit, all the giant monsters to have the race that would normally indicate robot, etc.) That would be where FF4kster's handy-dandy config files come into play (I'm looking at you, races.dat)...
