Antinomia: FF6

Phew, had a bit of a challenge with this portion.

Mog has now been changed to a readily-recruitable guest character who can join the party if you talk to him in Narshe with an open slot.  He can still learn his Dances and retains them each subsequent time you recruit him.  However, he is unequippable and not selectable in the party menu, so in cases where you enter the party selection screen or the game chooses a party for you, he warps back to Narshe.  But I wanted to see if there was a way I could keep him playable even though Leo stole his permanent slot, and so far it seems to be working.



I did originally put him in slot 0F, but then I took him to the Cave to the Sealed Gate and discovered Kefka co-opts slot 0F in the battle there so Mog just kind of vanishes.  Therefore, I had to re-write the code to put him in slot 0E and then update the battle script with Kefka to refer to Mog's new slot so that he does the cinematic animations along with the rest of the characters instead of just standing there like a dunce.

Now I'm adding a new event before the banquet which required some map modification, but it seems that FF6LE-CE and FF3usME both write to bank F0 with their expansions, and a bunch of my dialogue got corrupted and FF3usME could no longer open it.  Thankfully I always export my dialogue file to text every time I modify it, so I still had a copy.  Also thankfully, I did go ahead and write myself my own dialogue editing tool that can move all three dialogue banks to custom locations, both to allow the pointer list to expand into CD and also now to get the third bank out of F0 so that it's not conflicting with other expansions.  I also wrote it to accept the FF3usME export data as an import, so with that I was able to reclaim my corrupted dialogue and move it to a safer location while giving me more pointers in the process.

I wrote the dialogue editing tool very narrowly around my particular needs so it's not particularly fleshed out as a tool.  It's specifically expecting a ROM that's already been expanded and already has the FF3usME's Town Dialog patch applied, and can then read in all the dialogue lines from the ROM and give you the option to move them to an available empty bank and then edit, add, and save dialogue from wherever you've saved it.  So if this seems like something anyone else might want to use, I can try to put it in a more "release-able" state.
