Trying a simple hack and already having issues!

Anoy! I posted here a few years ago before deciding that FF6 was just too much of a bear for me to do anything significant with. But it's still my favorite FF game, and I do want to make small changes from time to time.

So to take an idea from another hack I played who's name escapes me, I'dlike to give Celes a little late game boost in power. In that hack there was a hidden relic that changed Runic to Shock when it was equipped and I'd love to make that and put it in my game. I was thinking of replacing GP Rain since it performed a similar function but is actually terrible. I'm trying to use FF3usME to do it, but I'm having trouble pulling it all together. Is it possible with just that tool? My original plan was to just change GP Rain into a copy of Shock and make it equippable by Celes and Gogo, but I can't seem to find a way to alter the GP Rain 'spell'. It's not in the spell list, or at least I can't find it. Any help on this, or if there's a more effective method of doing this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Sorry to inform, but FF3usMe only changes what can be specifically changed on a character. Slot - Gp rain, Sketch - Control and so on. You would need to do quite the ASM edits to get that desired change into function.

This is a simple change with a hex editor. Find this data in your hex editor:

Code:

(Data - commands that can be replaced with other commands thanks to Relics)

C2/5452: 05   (Steal)
C2/5453: 0F   (Slot)
C2/5454: 0D   (Sketch)
C2/5455: 02   (Magic)
C2/5456: 00   (Fight)


(Data - commands that can replace above commands due to Relics)

C2/5457: 06   (Capture)
C2/5458: 18   (GP Rain)
C2/5459: 0E   (Control)
C2/545A: 17   (X-Magic)
C2/545B: 16   (Jump)

and also this data:

Code:

C3/6198 data: commands to change (from)

C3/6198:    05          (Steal)
C3/6199:    0F          (Slot)
C3/619A:    0D          (Sketch)
C3/619B:    02          (Magic)
C3/619C:    00          (Fight)

C3/619D data: commands to change (to)

C3/619D:    06          (Capture)
C3/619E:    18          (GP Rain)    
C3/619F:    0E          (Control)
C3/61A0:    17          (X-Magic)
C3/61A1:    16          (Jump)

Change the locations that say "Slot" from 0F to the code for Runic, 0B. Change the locations that say "GP Rain" from 18 to the code for Shock, 1B. Then make the Coin Toss equippable by Celes and it should work to change her ability.

Oh awesome, thanks for the quick reply! One quick question, that isn't going to also make Setzer have Runic is it?

Edit: Nevermind, I just looked at what you listed, I see what's up there. Thanks so much for the answer!
