The fact that it can be done doesn't mean that it would be easy. It can be way harder to do it for FFX because, indeed, of different data structures.
However, Husbjörn said that he plans to do something similar if he has time:To me, that looks the closest you can get to a game patcher that actually uses RAM modifications (and it would be goddamn useful). It's not the same kind of tools normally.
Please, let your respect for the modder take the shape of patience
I could provide you with details, with 2 caveats:
1.) it would involve patching the memory using something like CheatEngine or hex editing the EXE
2.) There are 4 crisis levels (which determine the power of the limit break, see this link), always setting this to a fixed level is easy, varying it is harder
Also which language of the game do you have?
for FF8_EN.exe (the Steam English version), there are at least 2 ways to do this, one would be to patch the EXE at 0x9431E or the memory of the process at 0x49431E:Code: [Select]from: 7D04That will permanently set the crisis level to 4.
to: EB09
The second way to do this (the way the Steam version does it) is patching memory address 0x1CFF838 to 0x01 - which sets the crisis level to always be 1 - you could set it to anywhere up to 4.
However, the addresses would be different for other versions of the game.
I have some new ideas for a more in-depth kind of editor actually (as well as have managed to figure out a working way to alter enemy data of the Steam version at load time), just not the time needed to realize it. Hopefully one day...
, and of course i understand that you could have other things to care about
, it was totally worthy , but really long and boring to do ) , so my suggesion is that you can add another page to all the sections of the program , the only difference is that the new page will apply the value to all the respective fields of all the other pages of the same section ; an example : you add the "global page" to the section of the magics , if you set "255" as a value for the damage , that value for the damage will be applied to all the magics , the same will happen to all the other values to write or to select if the only choiche are the selectable values , and for all the other sections of the editor , particulary for the enemies , so in short , add something that i could call a "global page" to apply or select the same value\string to all the values in that section at once , it can be very helpful even when you edit the shops or distrubute the items , or when modifying the characters
, but still i say that's strange how the first looping operation worked even without know the step that you explained now , and i wonder why
