Final Fantasy VI Advance Editor

FF6AE editor

I've started making an editor for FFVI Advance on GBA. So far only the monster data, item data, spell data, actor data and fonts can be edited.


Things to mention:

• All the bytes properties in the monster, item, and spell editor have not been tested nor inquiries made on them. Since the data is the same, I'm assuming they mean the same thing as in FF3us. I simply took the information mainly from FF3usME and applied it to the advance version.
  
• In the monster editor, the only hardcoded data are the items names (4) of the morph patters. So if by any change you change that data manually, changes will not be reflected in the editor. This will be changed eventually.
  
  
• In the monster editor, if you select a normal attack looks higher than 0xFF (256), "unarmed" (0xFF) will be selected. This is because the advance version has more items but I highly doubt that the extra items have their own graphics. Plus the data is still on 1 byte so it's impossible to go higher than FF.
  
  
• In the acotr editor, if you select a piec e of equipment higher than 0xFF (256), "unarmed" (0xFF) will be selected. This is because the advance version has more items but the data is still on 1 byte so it's impossible to go higher than FF.
  
  
• In the fonts editors, if you make the width of the letter bigger by increasing the columns property, you need to reduce the width of another letter. This is because of the maximum size of the data. In the large font it's easy, you can just make some room by decreasing the width of the kanji symbols if you want. The number of bytes left is displayed in the top right corner. Saving with a negative amount of bytes will result in overwriting the data that is located after the font data.
• In the fonts editors, you need to save the changes to a letter before switching to another one by saving changes locally. This does not save the changes in the ROM but only temporary. You need to save the ROM at the end of your work to save the changes permanently.
• In the fonts editors, the pixels attribute is the number of pixels of the letter before drawing the next letter in a string. As an example, if your letter has a width of 5 pixels and the pixels attribute is set to 7, the next letter draw in a word will have a 2 pixels distance with this letter.
  

The editor works with the American version of the game for now only. The ROM name should be FF6ADVANCE with the serial AGB-BZ6E-USA. If you don't have those values when you load a ROM, you won't be able to open the different editors.


Download:

• FF6AE v3.1.1 mirror
  

- If you have problems running the editor, install Microsoft .NET Framework 4 available here.

For version 2.0 and above, source code will be release as well. This way some people could teach me better programming practices :P
