Title: Location of limit break data
Post by: Axel Firestorm on 2024-12-31 23:58:03

Does anyone know where the limit break use totals and character kill totals are stored, which hex addresses/banks & bytes they're kept in? Reunion's save map listing only goes so far and doesn't seem to include them. Thanks.

This info is stored in the Savemap Character Records (https://wiki.ffrtt.ru/index.php/FF7/Savemap#Character_Record) per each character:

Code: [Select]

Offset Length Description
0x0E 1 byte Current limit level (1-4)
0x0F 1 byte Current limit bar (0xFF = limit break)
0x22 2 bytes Learned limit skills bitmask
0x24 2 bytes Number of kills
0x26 2 bytes Times limit 1-1 has been used
0x28 2 bytes Times limit 2-1 has been used
0x2A 2 bytes Times limit 3-1 has been used

In memory, the Savemap on PC is stored at address 0xdbfd38, and character records start at offset 0x54, each record is 132 bytes long.

Thanks. How would I convert that to the [xx][yyy] variables used in Makou Reactor? Is there a way? I want to add a feature to my mod that shows how many current uses/kills a character has left to do before learning his or her next limit.

If you want to access these values from the script then I believe it’s not possible. Field script can only access variables from the memory banks the devs specifically defined for that purpose. The character data lives outside this memory region.

Oh ok. I wasn't sure. I'll just use static lists of the starting totals, then, which was what I'd originally gone with anyway. Thanks for your help.
