After this, do not forget to update the Kernel.bin file with Scene.bin. Example: open Scene.bin in Proud Clod program and press "Create Scene.bin", and on question: Check scene data in Kernel.bin? press "Yes" button and press "Yes" again to correct data in kernel. Use for this: Proud Clod or Hojo.

Tab "Stats":
In this Tab can be edited different stats, for separate monsters, like HP, MP, Strength and other.
For example: You want  to add for monster 50% HP, then just write 1,5 in numeric field near monster's HP and for result press "=" button (In other words just multiply his HP by 1,5). Or press "show %" checkbox and insted of 1,5 write 50 in the same numeric field and for result press "=" button. Same can be done to add HP for monsters. HP can be increased and decreased in the same way, for example HP can be multiplied by from 0,1 to 10 or from 1% to 1000%.

Tab "Patch All":
Buttons "patch all" can patch (change and save) all scene files in one click (they patch scenes: from scene9 to scene245). They patch all monsters except: 3 weapons (Ruby, Diamond, Emerald weapons) and except monster's parts such as pedestals and other similar, that cannot be targeted.
On this Tab also possible to add +10 HP to every monster or +20 to Strength.
On this Tab also possible to increase Item's Drop chances or Steal chances separately. (Example: if you will double Drop chance for 1st Item. If Drop chance was 32, then 32 x 2 = (63 max) = it is 100 % chance to Drop 1st item. If monster can drop couple items, then he will drop always only 1st item).

Tab "Battle Setup":
This Tab shows how much of total Exp, AP, Gil can be gotten from monster groups and where they can be found. And chances for this monster groups (Enemy Formations) on the maps. If you want to change Enemy Formations in the game, then use for this Proud Clod. Because this Tab only shows total Exp, AP, Gil.
Explanation:
- Chance: Forced means that it is a Forced Encounter
- Chance: Forced (Optional) means that you can choose to fight or not. (As it was with Turks, during Midgar Raid on Disc 2)
- Disabled Enc. means that this encounter is disabled on the map
- Battle Square: Set 1 means After Getting Buggy but Before Tiny Bronco
- Battle Square: Set 2 means After Getting Tiny Bronco
- Battle Square: Set 3 means After Getting Highwind

According to the Enemy Mechanics FAQ by TFergusson:
Spoiler: showEach unique area can support up to: 6 Normal battles and 4 Special Formation battles. 
In addition, World Map areas can support a further 4 Chocobo battles.
As soon as the chance succeeds and a random battle is going to occur, the following things are considered in order:
   Unique/Chocobo Battles
   Pre-emptive Chance
   Special Formations
   Normal Battles

If the area has any Special Formation battles, you have a chance of getting them first.
All Special Formation Battles have a chance out of 64 of occurring.
The chance of not getting a Special Formation battle is equal to 64/64 minus the sum of the probabilities of all available Special Formation battles.
If neither a Special Formation nor a Chocobo Battle has been able to occur, then the normal battles are finally checked.  This is a simple chance out of 64 for each battle allowed, with a single Rnd(0..63) deciding which of the battles is chosen.
There is one exception however: if you get the *exact* same battle formation as you did last time, then the game will reroll *once* for a new Normal Battle.  If you still get the same battle, then no further rerolls are done. However, this does mean that you are less likely (in general) to get the same battle than you are to get a new battle.
BUG: Due to an error with regards to signed numbers, any Normal Battle chance that is 32/64 or greater will actually be treated as a negative number: Chance - 64. For the most part, if it was the first encounter in the list, it will cause it to have a 100% chance of being selected, providing no Special Battle was encountered.
Note that World Map encounters do not suffer from this bug.
