FF6 Hacking

I like the idea of a jump table and using $EB as the command selector. Now I (or you guys) need to think about which commands you want to see included in this. I think the stream is more going to be a proof of concept of the idea since I won't be changing the event code in totality but I'll have a test event.

I could maybe also include a custom command in the jump table such as "winning" 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 20 magic points on all characters (or party members) based on a price selection (something like a choice between 1000, 3000, 5000 or 10000 GP). Instead of magic point that affect equipped espers, we could also win directly a learning percentage increase of the characters spells that are not 0%. The odds would vary depending on the amount bet. We don't care really about balanced odds or "fair" ones, as long as the concept is logic (more money, better chances). Who said Super Ball was fair anyway

The downside of this command is that it allows FF6 bourgeois class to become great wizards without training or fighting by just spending their fortune at the local casino.

If you bet 1000 GP, it could be something like the following:

001/256 chance of 20 Points
004/256 chance of 15 points
008/256 chance of 10 points
016/256 chance of 05 points
064/256 chance of 03 points
128/256 chance of 02 points
035/256 chance of 01 point

This command could explain how to deal with the vanilla RNG and how to effectively change odds depending on a parameter (dialogue choice in this case). It would also show SRAM modification and ASM loops. I might keep this command idea for a separate stream since the ~1 hour time limit I gave myself. I think it's a fun idea and the concept could even be used in a hack with some modifications to balance the whole thing.

Technically, any event command that with 2 parameter bytes or less could be added to the indexed command, and should be pretty simple to code to get working, at least for demonstration purposes... In fact, you could then code your Magic Point Lottery as one of the command options. That should be easy enough for an hour time slot... right? Tho, admittedly, I'm not the best judge of how long things will take (as evidenced by ALL my streams). If you pre-plan the lottery code it shouldn't too hard. It seems straightforward enough.

Madsiur is doing a stream? I'm out of the loop... when will that be?
