Changing Tiles...
11-29-2011, 06:11 PM
I want to change Cafe to Pub, sounds easy enough but I'm new with graphics
I am aware that there are a few projects out there that have done this already, but to my knowledge there is no patch for just this. I was able to follow tutorials on this site for decompressing graphics and all that, but my problem is finding what I need. I have no idea where to start looking
Any help would be appreciated

You just need YY-CHR for this. Open it up and load your ROM and go to address 234000 under 4BPP SNES, you should see one of the Cafe signs there, if it is not clear or looks weird, try another format until you see the words there "Cafe". I think there are 2 other Cafe instances that need to be changed, so just scroll around the tiles there until you find them all and test them out to make sure they're changed. One of them is the one shown inside the Cafe, one on the outside of the building, and one for the Zozo battle background. I'm pretty sure they can all be edited in YY-CHR without decompressing anything, even the battle background.
We are born, live, die and then do the same thing over again.

Well, I just search and look. After awhile you'll start to remember whereabouts everything is located, weapons, map tiles, spell graphics, all the sprites. I'm sure that somewhere the offsets are listed for everything, maybe somewhere like in Cless's FFVI Romhacking Guide, or just a ROM map of FFVI, but searching for the tiles you want to change is pretty easy.
It also really helps if you're having trouble locating the tile due to the crazy looking colors of YY-CHR, you can load an emulator save state that has the current palette in it, and it will then show the right color. This is mighty useful for things like spells and weapon, and I'm sure tiles as well.

So in order to enable each other the two fruits have to look each other in da eye and understand we can only be right, as da ripe is wrong, you know what I mean?"

Now to track down the other instances... god this place is great lol
EDIT: The outside tile is also the tile in the battle background, so only 2 need to be changed. That was pretty easy

Don't forget that Tile Layer Pro can drag and drop tiles (via click and drag) from one to the other quite easily. This is very helpful if you are taking data from one ROM to another. Below is a screenshot of what I'm talking about.
You can use the right mouse button and select multiple tiles and CTRL+C CTRL+V to copy/paste them between ROMs. I found this a bit easier to do if you are just taking tiles from one game to another. Works well with restoring censored out stuff quite well actually. I know YY-CHR has more functionality but this is quicker and easier in my opinion.

THANK YOU! I finally figured out how to do it. Cafe is now Pub in my project!
Experience is the benchmark to maturity.
