Magic Order

Español Spanish

Pienso reorganizar el orden de las magias pero el problema ponemos 

por ejemplo (White)Holy (Black) Toad/Imp (Time)Meteor no se ordena y pienso hacerlo de esta manera

Nota: si el que solucione que intente que el codigo se pueda parchear con SNEStuff para que lo pueda usar hasta los que casi no saben editar en hexadecimal

I plan to reorganize the order of magic but we put the problem

for example (White) Holy (Black) Toad/Imp (Time) Meteor is not ordered and I plan to do it this way

Note: if the one that solves that tries that the code can be patched with SNEStuff so that it can use it until those who almost do not know how to edit in hexadecimal

Not sure if your issue is the same as the one on this thread, but I'm gonna link it just in case.

Changing the order spells are listed in is actually quite involved.

1) You need to manually re-order the spells in FF3USME by recreating all of their components in the desired spot (setting spell power, all the flags, special properties, and animations). The best way to do this is to open FF3USME twice, once with the file you are changing and once with a vanilla file so that you can compare the spell data.

2) You need to find the hex address of Doom's new slot and adjust values in the C2 bank so that Roulette and Condemn work properly. You need to find the hex address of Shell's and Protect's new slots and adjust values in the C2 bank so that "Near Fatal->Shell" and "Near Fatal->Safe" work properly.

3) You need to rearrange all of the Esper learning, since moving the spells won't move their indices and the Espers will still point to the old slots.

4) You need to adjust all of the items that cast spells on hit and spells on use, since moving the spells won't move their indices and they'll point to the wrong places.

5) You need to adjust _every_ enemy's control, sketch, and rage list, as well as their battle scripts, for the reasons stated in 3 and 4.

6) You need to make Hex value adjustments in the menu block (C3 bank if I recall correctly) so that moved white-magic spells can be cast correctly. Spells affected are Purify, Remedy, Cure1-3, Life1, Life2, and Warp.

7) You need to make Hex value adjustments in the C0, C1, and C3 blocks so that the game knows how to sort the magic correctly; it does this by identifying which index number is the start of a spell type, starting with Black magic.

8) Likewise, you need to change values to indicate which spell index corresponds to the start of a spell intro. This decides which animation to play when casting a spell; if unmoved then some of your extra black magic spells will play the white magic intro.

You're going to have to sink your teeth into the ROM disassemblies to be able to do all that. You can find them on the wiki for this site: https://www.ff6hacking.com/wiki/doku.php...s:doc:game

This will be very helpful.

I'm so glad I found this thread. I am also doing a Magic Re-Order and Lore Overhaul myself.

All of the things that pertain to using an editor such as moving the spells and animations into the new slots, adjusting the rages, sketches, espers, weapons, etc. and monster AI is easy enough for me.

The worry I had was moving a certain spell or ability and it not working properly due to hex issues. So this thread confirms that.

So this is what I'm looking to do.

---New List & Order--- # CUT Demi; Tornado; Quartr; Antdot; Haste; Slow | 48 SPELLS Using USme:


 45 CURE    46 Life       \
 47 Cure-2  48 Life-2       \
 49 Cure-3  50 Life-3        \
 51 ESUNA   52 REGEN      \
 53 Imp        0 Protct        / WHITE MAGIC (PAGE 1)
  1 Float       2 Shell         /  (All menu spells moved to the top page. Imp, Float, Warp.
  3 Warp      4 Reflct        /     Dispel I guess, I don't know what it does in menu.)
  5 Dispel     6 Holy       /

  7 Bolt         8 Ice        \
  9 Bolt-2     10 Ice-2       \
 11 BOLT-3  12 Ice-3        \
 13 Fire       14 Drain         \
 15 Fire-2    16 Poison        / BLACK MAGIC (PAGE 2)
 17 Fire-3    18 Bio            /  
 19 Melton   20 Flare        /
 21 QUAKE   22 Ultima    /

 23 Scan      24 Osmose  \
 25 Vanish    26 RASP       \
 27 MUTE     28 Brserk       \
 29 SLEEP    30 MUDDLE      \
 31 Death    32 Break           / GREY MAGIC (PAGE 3)
 33 X-Zone  34 Meteor        /  (The logic for Death, Break, X-Zone, and Meteor (Functions like Tornado) is they don't do damage based on 
 35 Slow(2) 36 Stop           /     the magic stat, but are a % chance.)
 37 Haste(2)38 Quick       /

16 spells per school, exactly 1 page each, nice. The SPELLS in ALL CAPS do not have to be moved in USme, thankfully.

 Still in the game and used by enemies / no longer learned; Will be blank slots at the bottom of the menu.
 39 Antdot  40 Demi
 41 Slow    42 Quartr
 43 Haste   44 Tornado

[REMOVE] The empty space at the bottom of the magic menu. The 3 lines / 6 blanks.
How to do this? Or is it better to just leave it?

[DELETE] Mag.Order options, or Remove options (1-6) from the Config Menu? As the list is built around the default order, so this option is not needed. Nor do I want to create more work for myself so it functions properly. The option just simply isn't needed.

New Alphabetical Lore List:
  139 Absolute 0
  140 Acid Rain
  141 Aero  
  142 AQUA RAKE
  143 Bad Breath
  144 Big Guard  
  145 Blaze     
  146 Blowfish   
  147 Comet (Meteo)
  148 Dischord 
  149 Gigavolt 
  150 Gran Train
  151 Lv.3 Death 
  152 Lv.4 Flare 
  153 Lv.? Holy
  154 Magnitude8
  155 Quasar    
  156 Rainstorm (Flash Rain)
  157 Star Cross (S.Cross)
  158 Step Mine
  159 STONE TOSS
  160 Tsunami
  161 Typhoon (Cyclonic)
  162 White Wind


169 Doom (moved to Acid Rain slot)
178 Roulette (moved to Cyclonic/Typhoon slot)
185 Revenge (moved to Gigavolt slot)
187 L.2 Muddle (moved to Absolute 0 slot)
188 Reflect??? (moved to Magnitude8 slot)
190 Forcefield (moved to Flash Rain/Rainstorm slot)
204 Pep Up (moved to S.Cross/Star Cross slot)
223 Rippler (Will probably delete out of the game entirely, but Meteo slot)
228 Exploder (moved to Blaze slot)

Will I run into any problems (hex wise, not editing wise) by moving-swapping these Lores and Enemy Abilities around?
I did an 18 Lore version in one of my earlier builds and had no problems, I think. Now I want to expand to 24, but seeing there is issues moving magic around, I dunno.

From C-Dude's post, in terms of Hex editing, I will need to:


1) Hex value adjustments in the menu block to get the moved Magic working in the Menu. Cure-2, Cure-3, Life, Life-2, Imp, Float, Warp, Dispel.

2) Find the hex address for the new slots in the C2 Bank for Death, so Condemned and Roulette function properly. Also for SOS Protct & Shell.

3) Change corresponding values for some of the moved magic to display the correct spell intro for White, Black, and Grey magic.

4) -DELETE-or-Make the Mag.Order non-functional in the Config Menu. Default is all I want or need.

5) -REMOVE-the empty space created at the bottom of the magic menu from 3 lines/6 Blanks no longer being learned.

 Will any other spells not work properly due to hex issues? And anything else am I missing?

These are my notes from when I undertook a similar endeavor, as described in the earlier post.  I recommend that if you don't need the six extra spells, that you intersperse the blanks as spacers at the end of each category (so Healing Magic would have two blanks at the end of its list, Effect Magic would have two blanks at the end of ITS list, and Attack Magic would have two blanks at the end of ITS list).  If you need those spell slots for something else like monster attacks, just make sure you don't put them on any espers or learn lists.  If you use the blanks in this way, you won't have to worry about clearing away empty lines at the end of the list (it'll only be one line at the bottom) and you'll still be able to use the config sorting.

The addresses in these notes could be subject to change if you have other patches in play, such as C.V. Reynold's bugfix compilation.

From reading your post, the only other spot you overlooked is Life 3; it calls the Life 1 spell when it triggers and it'll call something else if you don't update the value.  Which spell it calls is defined at C2/07A4, which you'll find in the notes below.  Also, if you want Effect and Healing to share the same spell intro as in Vanilla with new spell indices, you'll want to skip the second and third change in the C1 bank.  I can answer more questions as you encounter them, good luck with your endeavor!

Code:

===============================
SPELL18 Hex Changes
===============================
What follows are in-line changes made to various locations in
C1, C2, and C3 to change spell indices and alter how they are sorted.
The goal of these changes (which was successfully attained) was to
recategorize FF6 magic so that Attack, Effect, and Healing magic
had equal spell counts.

This does NOT include the hex for spell changes made in the editor FF3USME.
Unlike the other disassembly which was made on continuous blocks of hex, this is scattershot
and probably not very useful.  I've included it anyway for completion's sake.

Thanks, C-Dude! You always come through for me!

-Life-3 Added to the list.

My original draft planned to have spacers between each school. But when I was fiddling around in the Magic Menu--attempting to visualize how it would look. I found that tapping the ® Button takes me to the next page. It would be so clean to have all 16 spells of a school on 1 page w/out having to scroll. Adding spacers would then force having to tap ® and scroll down a little bit each time. Vs. Just 2 taps of ® to see all magic.


Also in Battle--Magic is displayed 4 x 2, so it just lines up perfectly. (Half of a school at a time.) With just a little bit of leftover space at the very bottom.

Before I dig into your notes, I just want to confirm, am I all good on the Lores / Enemy Magic as well?

Thanks, again!

There's code to change the Roulette command to Enemy Roulette which I never had to fiddle with (because I removed Enemy Roulette).

Code:

(Swap Roulette to Enemy Roulette)

C2/03B9: 08           PHP
C2/03BA: C2 20        REP #$20            [Set 16-bit A]
C2/03BC: C9 0C 8C     CMP #$8C0C     (is the command Lore and the attack Roulette?)
C2/03BF: D0 03        BNE $03C4      (branch if not)
C2/03C1: A9 1E 8C     LDA #$8C1E     (set command to Enemy Roulette, keep attack as
                                      Roulette)
C2/03C4: 28           PLP
C2/03C5: 60           RTS

You're going to need to change the low bytes (which are 0x8C in Vanilla) to whatever hex index your new roulette spell is on, otherwise the Lore that was originally Roulette will still cast Enemy Roulette when an enemy calls it.

There's also L.5 Doom (well, L.3 Doom in your case) which gets called by slots when Joker Doom is triggered. It's got a few spots that need to have the spell value adjusted.

Code:

C2/172C: C9 94        CMP #$94
C2/172E: D0 04        BNE $1734      (branch if not L.5 Doom [i.e. one of the Joker Dooms])

with the 0x94 changed to your new value,
and

C2/4E4A: 94   (L.5 Doom -- used by Joker Doom [7-7-Bar])
C2/4E4B: 94   (L.5 Doom -- used by Joker Doom [7-7-7])

with that same number

That should cover all the cases where spell number shifting has an impact on what the game does, as far as I am aware.

Okay. Now I have the info necessary to do this!
