FF9 Gameplay Releases / Re: "Freya Game+" v0.5 - Play with Freya in your party throughout the whole game!

« on: 2024-09-03 14:17:47 »

Hi, I am currently developing a mod that replaces the main character (Zidane) with another character (Beatrix). I noticed that in a couple of posts it was mentioned that it was a bad idea to remove Zidane from the party at certain points, did you run into any issues with this? What was the reason that Zidane was needed in the party? Was it linked to his character id (0)? Or some other reason?

Thanks!
Hope

Thank you! I can't believe I didn't see that panel before omg...

Yes! Sorry about the edit. I've modified the post to include the original question. I deleted it before because I didn't realise anyone had replied, I figured out my own workaround, and didn't want to waste anyone's time with an unnecessary question. I'll leave all future posts as they are!

Thanks for the reply, that's amazing! That variable panel is SO helpful for keeping track.

I'd really like to know also is there a way to modify the item drop rate chances (256/256, 96/256, etc)?
And with character-specific trance styles (like Steiner getting 300% damage, Zidane having access to Dyne, or Dbl Wht), are they hardcoded into the character id's (0 for zidane etc), or are they controlled some other way?

I've managed to reach Dali in terms of scripting, even re-writing the scenes and it's going really really well. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the party changing scripts used by the devs though. Is there a special reason they are so long?

Is there no more succinct way to achieve saving a party formation and recalling it?

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I had no background in code only a week ago, and have learned to script some pretty decent scenes in the last week using your tool. I'm blown away how good it is to be honest!

Oh last question, is there a list anywhere of the VAR_GlobInt values used in the base game? I'm cautious about using them in case I overwrite something important to the original code.

Hope

I want a function to apply specifically to the player controlled character, but in entries where the function DefinePlayerCharacter could apply to either Zidane OR Dagger, is there a way to achieve this?

EDIT: amended after accidentally deleting the post so people can see the original question. Apologies.
