Magic description position - tsushiy - 12-18-2014
Hello, everyone.
In addition, we would be able to want to one question.
In the skills menu, do you be able to change the display position of the magic(esper, blitz, rore, and other) of the description?
And say why, in FF6 the Japanese version, I window of description is small.So, of the window as FF6 English version, did you change the size and position, but location that determines the position of the description did not know.
*left = normal FF6JP, right = Things that have changed the window position

And if good, please lend your wisdom.
Thanks.

The address for the screen offset in the US version seems to be $C3572A.
Japanese version seems to be $C35D87, but the routine seems to be different, because the offset doesn't work the same way. That's all I've been able to figure out.

Thank you for the valuable information.
However, if you change the value of this part(3572A~35773), the position of the description (I want to to the left), did not change.
I'll try looking for a little more myself. Thank you!

$C3572A is an LDX command. You need to edit the value immediately after it.

You need to completely leave the menu and re-enter it to get it to set correctly, as the game seems to handle all of the code when you load the menu.

I'm sorry if I wrong, you mean,
(A2 C9 9E >> A2 XX XX)
It is possible to change this part, what it is that can change the position of the legend? or would another part?
I'm sorry it would be to question many times.and, very thanks!
RE: Magic description position - dn - 12-19-2014
Yes, that would be the address. The English version should move the text offset propertly, but the Japanese version functions differently, and I'm not sure what you would need to do to fix it. It'll move the text offset, but it also starts making the game display wrong text. It may have something to do with the kanji code.
[edit]On second inspection, the US version acts oddly as well. This is likely only part of the code.

I changed,
A2 C9 9E >>> A2 C7 9E
but, Character of the description statement was shifted.
*left = A2 C7 9E, right = My ideal

English I'm sorry the poor.
RE: Magic description position - dn - 12-19-2014
Yes, I've noticed that as well. It seems to have the beginning value set elsewhere, and I am presently unable to find it.
RE: Magic description position - tsushiy - 12-19-2014

Various and thank you! I was able to understand it is a little.
I do not know if you can find what it is, but I would like to look for a place that continue to determine the location of the description.
RE: Magic description position - dn - 12-19-2014
Okay, thanks to some old work by ChrisRPG I happen to have lying around, I found it.
JP rom:
$C3AFC5
LDX $8049
Change this as necessary, it seems to work properly.
Positions need to be increased or decreased by +2 or -2 per tile, as with all over text code, or you'll get garbage, possibly a crash.
Changing it to LDX $8039 seems to be what you want, but you should test with multiple values to be sure.
