I've been searching high and low around the valley of Qhimm, but sadly I'm really struggling to find any answers relating to these three 'stats'! I'm not too sure this is in the right forum, but I figured Game-Tweaking might be right, because at least if anyone has some wonderful knowledge, we could cause some tweaks as a result of this post. Maybe.
So, the Kill Counter! We know that there is one 'stored' for every character individually, but where? I figured that the most obvious place would be amongst the save-game data, but from what I'm reading up on the whole format (Jenova source, lots of lovely notes by forum honchos, and such), there seems to be little, if nothing at all, pertaining to this stat! Where on earth could it be stored? I just figured it'd be useful if there was anyway we could edit this, even through Hexing savestates! I'm looking for a way to fiddle with the number (although I can't imagine what chaos it might cause in regard to learning limits, probably a thousand bugs).
Also, just to clarify, the only time this stat (per character) is called into effect is for Limit Break growth, and the power of Vincent's Ultimate Weapon, correct? (using the Death Penalty is what triggered this search of mine) Seeing as we all know how that works, what with the whole 'Power = [Power * [Vincent's Kills / 128] / 16] + 10' (Cheers Terence!) Meaning that in order to get the weapon upto say, the power of Cloud's Ultima Weapon, with Cloud of full HP, would take around 5000 'final blows'? Aiee!
And about the rest of the counters, are the Run/Battle Counters stored within the Savestate, too? Again there's little info floating around regarding the location of either of them (from what I can find, at least), and the only time this stat is called into effect is for the Sleeping man in Junon, and the damage of Chocobuckle, right? This one could be quite fun to play with, especially those that want to see 'All Lucky 7's' alot, teehee.
I realise it's quite cheeky of me to have my first post be some elongated version of a "TELL ME PLZ", but I've been hunting all over, and there really seems to be little info about the individual kill count, other than GET OUT THERE AND SLASH AWAY, BOY! So here's hoping some of you lovely Qhimm folks might be able to help out a tad!
