From what I know, you can't get Requiem to work with the PC or Steam version, but it should work with any PSX version you have.
-
Hmmm i see, and is possible to use some tools to edit the game? or in that case the PSX iso
In special the enemies status, attacks, magics, HP, damage etc

There are actually a few tools that can edit the memory of the game... look into Doomtrain and Carbuncle - but I think they're for the pc/steam versions
-
ok ty so much ^^ i will try them

Is there a particular reason people want to make the game artificially harder (more damage in, less damage out, etc.) instead of simply placing a limitation on themselves like not leveling, no magic, no junctions, etc.?

I think it's due to people not wanting to have to mitigate it themselves, but to use the game and whatever mechanics available to do so. 'Thinking' of your handicap and having to make the choice to enact it is a lot harder and much less immersive than just being able to improv your way through a harder game.
Personally, I'd rather set up whatever limitations for myself as well as whatever 'harder' mechanics at the start of the process, patch it into the game, and then never have to think about it again unless the game forces me to through method/choice/reaction, etc.
I actually always thought all this game needed was the Junctioning stats to be halved as well as some kind of mechanic that limited your use of GFs... something to the effect of ... every time you use your GF, it loses 25% of it's health... so you can never -really- GF spam. That along with putting a limit of 3 draws per character per battle. This way, the game is immediately more challenging. If you want to 'level up' by junctioning magic, you're going to have to grind for it, just as if you were 'level' grinding.

You can't add things like less time to leave the reactor, added countdowns in other areas, or altered mechanics by doing that. A difficulty mod is more than just HP or attack damage. It's a total overhaul. For example, in my mod Weapon, the submarine minigame has had 5 unique levels of difficulty added (in the hardest level, a bomb or missile strike is true to life, and you instantly lose) and the traps in the Ancient Forest cause a game over.
-
I wanted just to make for example:
Adel be faster, cast more magics, use def magics. That kind of things, not make a Requiem version XD
Just to my personal taste, just for fun
-
The tool you would probably want to use to edit enemies is Ifrit.
see here (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=8741.0).
If you want to do more complicated things, you might want to use a beta mod for Ifrit that I made here (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=8741.msg242070#msg242070).
I still need to finish the mod off at some point but the code is a mess and I've rewritten a lot of it =/.
-
DUDE thanks XD that Ifrit is awesome.
I just find out that the magics in numbers are some magics in the draw bar (to locate what the enemie will cast)
But some abilities have the name CUSTOM and 204, 216 etc
there some way to make the custom shows what abilities are? Like melee attack, or light pillar, acid?

There's a slightly more complete list here (https://github.com/alexfilth/doomtrain/wiki/Enemy-attacks)
-
TY so much guys ;D ;D ;D
One more question, its possible make the scan magic shows the full HP from the enemies? Instead of ???? like Jumbo Cactuar, Omega Weapon etc
-
Technically yes but it would require editing the exe file.
In the English steam version you could change:
memory address 0xB683DA from 0x7D to 0xEB
and
memory address 0xB683F7 from 0x7D to 0xEB
no idea if can actually write those values properly but that removes the check for it.
-
Right and last question i promisse XD
When i finishes all the work i save and done? or i need to import the files or something?
And the anim number have a list too?
-
Yes, you must import the files.
No, there is no list for the anime numbers but generally, 11 is for the magic attacks. For the customs, don't change them because they are specifics for each enemies. The game may crash.
-
OK then, ty all ;D ;D ;D
-
Sorry keep asking (and stupid ones btw) in Ifrit program can i import or a need another program?
I cant find in Ifrit the comand to import back =/ sorry
-
Tools > Pack files from folder into battle.fs
-
Ok thank you so much ^^
-
Well after some time i begun to use IFRIT tool to mod and im loving it XD
Just came up 2 questions:
1-How do i make a enemie cast it self some magic? cure, double, triple etc (or its possible to make a enemie have like auto-cure, auto-triple) (because i tried haste on Glacial Eye lvl 8 and he cast the magic on me XD)
2-When i was testing some magics i notice that the magics gravija, catastrophe, ultima, meteor etc only have damaged 1 party member, why is that? Only enemie with high level can use those magics and inflict damage on the whole party?
-
If you want to do more complicated things, you might want to use a beta mod for Ifrit that I made here (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=8741.msg242070#msg242070).
You'll be be able tu edit IA but be carefull with it, you should have some bugs using it.
-
Yes i was reading about it and trying to understand some things in there :o
And still seaking some part even in the AI to correspond with support actions from the enemies (auto cast support magics)
And why high level magics cast from low enemies inflict damage only in 1 party member for ex:
Glacial Eye (my test subject XD) casting Ultima or Apocalypse and damage only Squall ??? ???
That is eh only 2 things i want o learn to begin modding my FF8, enemies using support magic on them (not in my party) and magic damagind all party.
Would be cool see Edea cast Firaga and hit all the party XD
-
The reason that they are only hitting a single target is because of the parameter to the target function, see here (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=11137.msg165616#msg165616)
more specifically:
Target & Attack
04 ... is the simple way to target something.
00->07 : Squall -> Edea (it should work up to Laguna, Kiros and Ward as well but I haven't check those)
00 : Squall
01 : Zell
02 : Irvine
03 : Quistis
04 : Linoa
05 : Selphie
06 : Seifer
07 : Edea
c8 : self
c9 : random enemy
cc : all enemies
cd : all allies
cf : random ally
note that you would need to convert these to decimal values.
As Girl next door says, the AI is editable but I would run through the changes with a hex editor to check that nothing weird has happened, there are some weird issues at the moment and I'm not 100% sure what's causing them.
Also I'd like to clarify that gjoerulv wrote most of Ifrit since I don't like taking credit for the work of other people, I only wrote the part that deals with the AI.
-
I'm gonna go ahead and close this thread so as to discourage people from helping Divatox with his pirated copy of the game, as per the forum rules.
He bought the game! Yay! Unlocked!
-
Wow sorry I didn't know I didn't have to help him. ^^ But now that we can, I wrote a memo about targets:
200 self
201 one target
203 last ononent who attacked (used for the counterattacks)
204 all oponents
205 all allies
207 ally
208 multiple hits
Also, for the bugs, remember that it mostly occurs when you have 2 or more enemies in battle that you have change AI. If you isolate enemies, there won't be problems.
Hope my english is clear. ^^
-
That helped a little XD i guess i need to learn what some line means
self.hp ok
self.status ok
target ok
rand() % 3 != 0 ??? dont know
self.varDC = 0 ??? dont know
domoveid (2) ??? dont know
self.status != REFLECT (i know that if something happens he will cast reflect in him self?)
Exist some topic that explain each line? Im always testing on Glacial Eye and i want to make him cast in him self protect, shell, triple etc when the battle starts. To use this on bosses and other enemies.
And why some magics hit only 1 target? Like Glacial Eye cast Ultima and hit only Squall? Not Squall, Quistis and Irvine (all party)
-
You say target is OK but it's not ! xD If you want Glacial eye casts Ultima on the party, you have to change the target of the attack from 201 to 204.
if rand() % 3 != 0 > means that the enemy has a 33% chance to do the action.
self.varDC = 0 > variable used by the enemy... hard to explain for me in english sorry. ^^
domoveid (2) > the enemy use the action number 2 of the list of its attacks.
if self.status != REFLECT > means that the enemy will do this action if it has not the status REFLECT.
If you don't have any knowing of things like "if" and "else" , that will be hard for you. ^^
-
BUT you already helped me ALOT if that thank you 8) 8)
i tested this:
if (rand() % 3 == 0) { <-------this works because he has 3 abilities with reflect
target(200)
domoveid(2)
return
}
if (self.hp <= 100) {
target(200)
domoveid(3) <------this should work? 3 is the reflect magic, when he has 100 HP he will cast on it self?
return
Abilities:
1-custom = 2 / anin=13
2-magic = 4(blizzard) / anin=11
3-magic = 31(reflect) / anin=11
4-custom = 2 / anin=13
5-custom = 20(vampire) / anin=14
6-custom = 20(vampire) / anin=14
Its possible i will come back to ask something else XD
-
if (self.hp <= 100) {
That's not correct. This is a precentage. For example, if you want an enemy do an action when it has les than 50% of its HPs, you have to write:
if (self.hp <= 5) {
5 means 50%.
Tell me exactly what you want to do with the actions IDs and I should give you the code. :)
-
Ok lets go, i want to the enemie do:
start casting triple
cast haste, cure (cura or curaga), shell or protect with 50% HP
to resume, he cast support magics in him self when necessary. (like bosses) Right now the enemie use blizzard and reflect on my party XD
to cast a high level magic in the hole party is:
if (rand() % 3 == 0) {
target(204)
domoveid(2) <------- my question is, this move in from the list of abilities right?
return
-
Well I think I may have found the root of the problem, it looks like if any if statement is > 255 bytes, the offset doesn't get patched correctly.
I'll see if I can find the old code somewhere to patch since the version I'm working on is a bit of a mess atm.
Edit: I've patched the issue and updated the link here (http://extapathy.co.uk/IfritAIbeta.zip)
I'm not sure if it will fix the issue that is causing the problem but it does fix a very major issue - it completely screws the logic up but it doesn't show in the code because the decompiler ignores the offset.
To fix any file, you should be able to adjust the textbox to get the compile button and a compile + save should fix it.

Nice, an update; cheers for this.
There was another thing that could make the compiler go wonky; in some counter scripts like for the Ifrit enemy there'll be unknown values that can disrupt it when trying to save/compile scripts:
self.varDC += 1
if (unknown(0x0A, 03) == 254) {
if (unknown(0x0A, 04) == 65) {
if (self.varDF == 0) {
self.varDF = 1
target(200)
domoveid(3)
return
}
}
}
If I change anything in this script, for instance if I change the attack ID or anything else, then it'll run into this error when compiling: 'Syntax error on line 2: no viable alternative at input 'if(unknown'.
-
Fixed and updated the link, let me know if you still get any issues.
-
Great job JWP ! I will test it tonight, hope that works !
Ok lets go, i want to the enemie do:
start casting triple
cast haste, cure (cura or curaga), shell or protect with 50% HP
to resume, he cast support magics in him self when necessary. (like bosses) Right now the enemie use blizzard and reflect on my party XD
to cast a high level magic in the hole party is:
if (rand() % 3 == 0) {
target(204)
domoveid(2) <------- my question is, this move in from the list of abilities right?
return
Yeah that's right.
So I will take your abilities' list and put the others:
1-custom = 2 / anin=13
2-magic = 4(blizzard) / anin=11
3-magic = 31(reflect) / anin=11
4-custom = 2 / anin=13
5-custom = 20(vampire) / anin=14
6-custom = 20(vampire) / anin=14
7-magic = 34(triple) / anim 11
8-magic = 21(cure, you can put cura and curaga for medium and high level) / anim11
9-magic = 35(haste) / anim11
10-magic = 29(protect) / anim 11
Put this in the init AI:
target(200)
domoveid(5)
Put this in the Turn AI:
if (self.hp <= 5) {
if (self.varDC == 0) {
self.varDC = 1
target(200)
choose(8, 9, 10)
return
}
}
else if (rand() % 3 == 0) {
target(201)
choose(1, 5, 5)
}
else {
target(201)
domoveid(2)
if (self.status == TRIPLE) {
target(201)
domoveid(2)
target(201)
domoveid(2)
}
return
}
That's a simple possibility, let me know if you want to complicate it.
-
Now he use vampire on it self XD (in the code that you send me =/)
Im trying now just he uses triple, i think its more simple so i did:
1-custom=2 / anim=13
2-magic=4(blizzard) / anim=11
3-magic=34(triple) / anim=11
5-custom=20 (vampire) / anim=14
-----------
INT AI
target(200)
domoveid(5)
-----------
TURN AI

if (self.varDC == 0) {

But he still crashes the game doing vampire on it self
-
The init code is targeting himself and casting vampire. Also I thought the magic was indexed at 0.
-
Oops my bad sorry. ^^'
Here's the good one for init:
target(200)
domoveid(7)
Also I thought the magic was indexed at 0.
I don't understand what you mean, you can put magic wherever you want in the index.
Edit:
OK JWP, I've tested for Seifer and his gunblade is still invisible. :'(
-
What I mean is that the magic is numbered 0-15, not 1-16.
In other words, the first magic line is id 0 - getting this incorrect would cause you to reference the wrong magic.
Which dat file?
Did you recompile and insert back into the archive?
What specific changes have you made?
-
It´s true i just tested its not 1-10 it´s 0-9 the command list
now it´s working ^^
Thank so much guys now i will start to make the changes. Last question, in the level to the enemie start always on lvl 100 i just put 100<>100 ?
-

Of course, sorry I didn't understand. ^^

domoveid(4)

First I tried to just recompile the AI and second, I took a fresh file. For the same result. :(
Last question, in the level to the enemie start always on lvl 100 i just put 100<>100 ?
That's not clear sorry.
-
Like how do i make a enemie start on level 100? Link in the 2 island, close to heaven and hell

You can't do that with Ifrit, use Cactilio http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16275.0 (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=16275.0)
JWP: I've tested another battle and the graphical bug seems to have disappear except for the Seifer's gunblade.
Edit: well tested a battle with 3 different enemies, Fungar, Anacondor and Wendigo and the bug is already here. :(
-
I'll do some investigating. It'd be a huge help if you could find the smallest change that causes the issue so that I can isolate the problem quicker.
-
I've already done some investigating to find where is the problem but I understand nothing. Sometimes a small change is efficient and sometimes a big change and it works without problem. Another weird thing: sometimes 2 enemies can work together on a battle scene but if you change the scene, it doesn't work... really weird.

I begun to edit/mod some bosses to rise the dificulty and i notice something:
(http://ap.imagensbrasil.org/images/2017/10/15/Sem-titulo.jpg)
What happens if i change those 3 parts?
party level
char level
level increment
------
And why some abilities are 264,265,266 all null? Can i change them without a problem? add magics or repeat a definided attack
-
Hmm...
After recompiling c0m085.dat without any changes to the code, I get some changes to the file.
The offsets all change but this should be fine as it's related to a different number of 00's at the end of the code (the first one hit causes a return, so the count doesn't matter)
However there is a concerning difference:
if (self.hp < 5)
changes from:
02 00 00 01 05 00 0E 00
to:
02 00 C8 01 05 00 0E 00
I'll have to do some more investigating to see the impact of this change.
In addition to this, I'll code a test to recompile all the AI and check they come out the same to remove any other issues like this.

Those 3 parts are just for EXP calculation and don't affect anything in the enemy file; they're for the user's reference.
Average Party Level sets how much EXP will be gained with the team.
Finishing Char Level sets how much extra EXP will be won from the killing blow.
And Level Increment sets how many levels will be shown (for making the table more streamlined).
You can change enemy abilities, but make sure to have them retain a relevant animation. Magic should use their magic-casting animation, etc.

Anyway, it's better now with the update. I've done a battle that was impossible before, with Seifer, Fujin and Raijin. I have changed the 3 AIs and it works ! But with the gunblade disabled or I have a big graphical bug. There must be several things you have to modify but you'll make it ! :)

These are special actions like a dialog, don't change them. You can also use Doomtrain to see more details. http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=17090.0 (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=17090.0)

I've run a test compilation on all of the files that can be parsed and I've determined the following:
these if statements are compiled incorrectly:
self.hp
self.status
enemy.status
enemy.alive
I'm guessing they also need a parameter for the slot/id and it's more like "friendly(id).hp" which could be self with a certain id.
The line "self.var60 = 0" appears in c0m071.dat, this seems more like a coding error to me as self vars are in the range DC-E3.
-
New issue, i changed only a little the HP1 and HP2 by 5 on the first battle against Biggs.
When the battle starts no one show up, like all char dissapear and only the music plays.

Did you change AIs of Wedge and Biggs ?

Nope only the HP =/ strange...

I think you've done some bad thing repacking the archive, try another battle, a random encounter for exemple to see if it works.
-
Hum....no if i change HP or some ability now the game dont load the chars in battle O_o
When i was testing everthing on glacial eye worked. even a glacial eye with HP=1000000
-
I run into this issue now and then; it seems that the archive can become corrupt sometimes when repacking. The approach I use now is to manually insert/replace the edited enemy into the archive using the Deling tool.
-
never mind for some reason i putt my backup battle files in the data and now its working the "mod" :mrgreen:
-
Quick question.
Its possible edit some place to only put a determined enemie? For example, Ultimecia´s Castle you will only encounter bosses Gerogero, Elvoret, Ifrit, Granaldo and his Raldos etc
or lunatc pandora or other place
-
As I said to you before, if you want to edit the battle scenes, use Cactilio. The problem is that you won't have the list of the battles, I have a french list but not the english.
-
I get it and Cactilio works to edit magics too? I just want to make scan more clear and after hp 99,999 still show us the HP, not in ????
-
No, Cactilio can edit the battles. For exemple, put together Ifrit and Diablo in the same battle. If you want to edit magic, use Doomtrain. To edit the scan, you have to change the exe by hex edit.
-
Hum its more complex that i thought XD
but thanks ^^

New issue, im trying to edit Norg boss, changing some magics to hit all party, like thunder summon and tornado:

target(200)
domoveid( 8 )
return

target(200)
choose(1, 2, 253)

else {
target(204) <----------------- i changed from 201 to 204 (hit all pary)
domoveid(4)

Use the latest version of Ifrit. It should fix that issue.
-
Didnt work but i change the code line to:
if (enemy.alive == 1)
and i dont know what i did, but its working XD
-
that particular error was because it was gfStolen, rather than gfstolen.

Oh i get it now, thanks 8)

Here we go again, im past the last days trying to edit the SCAN magic to show all the HP from enemies after 99.999, but with no success =/
someone can give a little help?

Forgetting about scan ( i will see that other time) i saw something strange, after Seifer second battle, when i change a simple thing about the AI, in the battle graffics some bugs moments occurs:
(http://ap.imagensbrasil.org/images/2017/10/29/20171029153952_1.jpg)
That´s only because i changed the target line from 201 to 204 and this kind thing started to happen, Abadon´s wings and tongue dessapears, and that´s black spots too. Thats also happens when i tried to change Edea AI, Seifer 3° Battle
Any help?
-
Are you using the fixed version of Ifrit above?
-
I guess so its: Ifrit011_AI_Beta
-
I updated the file without changing the filename or version numbers.
-
(http://ap.imagensbrasil.org/images/2017/10/29/20171029153952_19eb539545218d66b.jpg)
Hm i just downloaded the ifrit again from the main topic
-
Well I think I may have found the root of the problem, it looks like if any if statement is > 255 bytes, the offset doesn't get patched correctly.
I'll see if I can find the old code somewhere to patch since the version I'm working on is a bit of a mess atm.
Edit: I've patched the issue and updated the link here (http://extapathy.co.uk/IfritAIbeta.zip)
I'm not sure if it will fix the issue that is causing the problem but it does fix a very major issue - it completely screws the logic up but it doesn't show in the code because the decompiler ignores the offset.
To fix any file, you should be able to adjust the textbox to get the compile button and a compile + save should fix it.
Im using this one
-
Well seems that Ai its still leaving some issues =/ some idea came.
It´s possible create new enemies? For example copy Abadon´s c0m103.dat renamed to c0m144.dat (a dummy) and change the enemy names, abilitys and AI (when works). I saw too inside Deling that you can save a photo from the enemy, maybe change the colors and import back to the new c0m144.dat?
----------
My mod its kinda simple, bosses boosted (stronger and with new attacks), and when you get in the 3 disk and access Ragnarok, in the 2 island Heaven and Hell you will encounter new hard enemies lvl 100 (Tiamat for example) and the created ones (if possible, im working on it, or better trying).
What im trying to do is something like monster arena from FFX to both 2 island, unfortunately you can´t choose witch monster will fight =/
Lunatic Pandora and Ultimecia´s Castle will be in the same way, new hard enemies on lvl 100.
What did you guys think? ^^
-
Anyone has the encounter codes to the both insland heaven and hell?
I didn´t find it in here:

It's possible but remember that you have a limited number of enemies available. Dummy is the only one that you can use in fact. And I don't think you can do that with Deling.
Anyone has the encounter codes to the both insland heaven and hell?
Heaven: 690-693
Hell: 699-705
-
Hm has a limit. Ok i copy Ifrit c0m and i renamed to c0m144.dat (a dummy) and replaced.
Load the file in ifrit tool and maked te changes in the name, stats and hp.
Pack the files into the battle, theoretically its a new enemy the only issue its to find him in the cactilio tool. :|
And ty so much for the island codes \o/, im trying to make like a monster arena in both areas with stronger enemies and super bosses.
-
In Cactilio, Dummy is the first enemy.
-
I switch the c0m to 000 (dummy) and still didnt appear in cactilio. I open with ifrit and pack back to battle, and with deling open the new battle to extract the scene.out, and in cactilio when i search on the list the dummy it still there. I tried to edit dummy to but a error appear >:(
-
Did you try your new enemy in battle ? It's normal that its name in Cactilio is still Dummy.
-
After a alot of tries, didnt make it =/
Im leaving that for now, and i want to ask, in Seifer´s last encounter it´s possible to remove the 13 turns to Gilgamesh appear and end the battle?
For exe: Keep the animation from Odin / Seifer / Gilgamesh, but after the 13 turn, Gilgamesh will not appear and will only do that after the HP from Seifer become 0
if (self.varDC == 0) {
self.varDC = 1
if (unknown(0x12) == 1) {
if (self.varDE == 0) {
target(200)
domoveid(2)
}
remove(0)
remove(1)
gilgamesh()
}
else {
target(200)
domoveid(3)
}
}
And Girl ty for the idea before ^^
-
In his Turn AI, just remove this:
if (self.varDD == 15) {
if (unknown(0x12) == 1) {
self.varDE = 1
target(200)
domoveid(2)
return
}
}
-
Syntax error on line 6: no viable alternative at input "if(self.varDD ==1) {unknown'
:-(
I wish learn how to understand and edit the AI from every enemy
-
I thought this problem was solved in the latest version of JWP. :/
-
He said something about it, but i guess it still having some issues, like that and if you change anything in the Ai section, in battle some graphics became glitch :'(
