The following are the offsets for the Max HP of the enemines in FF:MQ. These are the first two bytes of the enemy's stats. Each enemy's stats are 14 bytes long, and go in this order: HP HP Str Def Spd Mag [str element] [str element] [unknown] [unk] [unk] [unk] [wk element] [counter %]
The premise is simple. 8x8 tiles programmed in binary, with 0 representing transparent and 1 representing white.
for example, 53= 01010011. This repeats itself 8 times vertically to create a tile.
There will be two value for each row. The transparent, and the shown. Simple rule: Both must add up to FF. If you see a tile where something adds up to more than that, then it isn't a tile.
To see the tiles, use a hex editor of some kind. Set the row width to 64 in decimal, or 40h. The values for a tile will then line up vertically.
I will list the starting values for said tiles. A tile, lined up with width as told, will look like this t1v1 t2v2 t3v3 t4v4 t5v5 t6v6 t7v7 t8v8
t=trans., V=visible.
Here are the starting bytes to each tile found so far in said format.
Compressed Tiles (For use in bottom spot of screen)
$384a4: Auto (Two tiles) $384a8: Manual (Three tiles) $38630: Top Left Corner $38632: Bot Left Corner $38634: Top Right Corner $38636: Bot Right Corner $38638: Veritcal line $3863a: Horizontal Line $3863c: Horizontal to right of name (One pixel less on left side) $3863e: End (Three tiles) $3864a: Compressed L $3863c: Compressed E $3863e: Compressed V
The following only work in talking text (I don't know why) $38830: g $38832: j $38834: p $38836: q $38838: y $3883A: h
The tiles for shrunk (see: level on bottom) numbers begin at $38A30 and goes from 0 to 9.
TIles $38A44-$38A4E are unknown useages.
TIles $38A50 are fullsized, from 0-9 and then A-F (F=$38A6E)
Tiles starting from $38C30-$38C6E) are G-Z (Z=$38C56), followed by a-l (l=#38C6E)
TIles starting with $38E30-$38E4A are tiles for m-z.
For the 38Exx group: 4c=! 4E=? 50=, 52=' 54=. 56&58="
The others will be decoded soon, but should be punctuation, probably running through $38E6E.

Help is appreciated. I'm sure alot of people would like to find the data to MQ so we can get some good hacks out there.

All I can come up with is by using your Mystic Quest editor is that tweaking some HP numbers is that the type of "counters" can change (eg. stone-counter instead of poison counter or the magic shield o' doom can be installed on an enemy)... and that max HP drives the attack power of the enemies... meaning that each special attack has a specific multiplier as far as I can tell. Weakness also ignores magic defense..
Although, this is nothing that you probably you don't already know.

Here's an odd nugget...tell me if you notice something similar:

Seiken Densetsu 2 / Secret of Mana also uses the same commands that I've noticed.

So anyone hazard a guess as to what the differences are in MQ to SD2 and FFV that makes importing songs between them so difficult?
Title: Re: Mystic Quest
Post by: Vehek on June 16, 2008, 11:43:46 PM
Have you gotten any MQ songs to import to SD2/FFV? I think one problem is with the channel pointers. I counted 9 in a MQ song and 10 in a FFV song.

Nope. I think the possibility of importing songs TO MQ FROM FFV/SD2 is probably not as easy as the other way around. You can null out the extra channel from the MQ song when importing it to FFV/SD2 me thinks. Unless the song from FFV and SD2 doesn't use all the channels...

Comparison between SPC headers in FFMQ and FFV (minus length header).

See, there's a duplicate of channel 1's pointer in FFV.

Any idea why?
Title: Re: Mystic Quest
Post by: Vehek on July 27, 2008, 04:37:18 PM
I don't know why. When importing from MQ to FFV/SD2, you have to add an extra pointer, and when importing from FFV/SD2, you have to remove the extra pointer.

Do you have any examples? I'm not getting the imports to work form/to MQ.

Here are some imports. They aren't perfect, but they're playing.

Post by: JCE3000GT on July 31, 2008, 10:59:29 PM
The better question is do you have those song sequences dumped into files so I can look at them and see what was done so I can try it for myself.
Title: Re: Mystic Quest
Post by: Vehek on August 01, 2008, 01:36:26 PM
Really, the only difference in the first one is that I deleted the pointer duplicate, shrinking the total size of the SPC data.

I tried that. Maybe I need to try it again.
Title: Re: Mystic Quest
Post by: Vehek on August 01, 2008, 08:39:34 PM
Are you putting them in the right place? Some of those offsets are slightly off, at least in my version. I also changed the length header, but that's all I changed in the SPC data in my newer imports.
Title: Re: Mystic Quest
Post by: JCE3000GT on June 01, 2011, 04:04:13 PM
I've updated the first post with some fixes and additional info in regards to the SPC portion.
And yes it is 100% possible to import FFV & Secret of Mana SPCs to MQ quite easily.
