Jump Megafix Question
« on: July 10, 2015, 02:47:11 PM »
This question is for Assassin, but if anyone else happens to know; I'm trying to change the value of the range of spears since I added a couple more so that they are included to have the double damage with Jump, but I noticed the part of the code that handles that from C2/1512 - C2/151E gets altered drastically with Jump Megafix. Looking at the disassembly file that comes with, I'm not seeing where or how this is done now. So that's my question, where or how do I go about changing the spear range value with this patch applied, and/or does it even work like that anymore. Thanks.

it uses the icon from the item name.  which takes a fair amount of extra code.

Pandora's Box tweaks it to test an unused bit in the item data instead (updating all spears' data accordingly).  i might follow suit whenever i update the patch.  it's not like the free item bits have been used up in the past decade (so next decade should be safe :P), and i can work around what Drakkhen has claimed.

Ah I see, nice! That's a whole lot better than having them restricted to a range, totally worth the extra code. Huh I wonder why Square didn't do that with FF6A after they added two more spears... o_O
