Title: Final Fantasy IX editing battle data?
Post by: ff7rules on 2010-02-13 20:33:48

Just wondering anyone had any luck messing with the files with this data in, Ive had alook for myself and have found Bakus stats but everytime I edit them and re image the file it crashes everytime, anyone got any ideas or tried messing with it before?

I suggest you read the Final Fantasy 9 data in the wiki qhimm has (http://wiki.qhimm.com/FF9).

If you are editing an ISO image you should be aware that the sectors are 2304 bytes each. If you are copying the image file in windows that won't work either because some of the data contained in the image file is in 2304 sectors and some is 2048 sectors.  Unless you know about the ISO disk format this won't make sense.

When I made my model viewer I just copied the FF9.img file from the disk/Iso to my HD and it worked fine. As long as you're not reading the iso directly but just accessing that file through whatever utility can read an iso filesystem, once you open ff9.img you can assume a sector size of 2048 without problems.

Or ah, wait, are you talking about putting the data back on the iso. Then yeah, I dunno anything about that.
