Hello Tirlititi,

Thank you very much for your detailed answer.

I followed your instructions step by step and it worked perfectly. Creating a new spell and assigning the effect was much clearer once I understood the Party → Spells / Commands / Stats logic.

Thanks again for the clear guidance, and of course for developing such an incredible tool. Hades Workshop is really impressive once you start understanding how everything connects.

Best regards,
Vincent

FF9 Tools / [Help Request] Adding Flare Star and Ultima to Vivi via Hades Workshop

« on: 2026-02-02 19:39:08 »

Hello everyone,

I recently discovered the world of modded Final Fantasy IX with Memoria on Steam and I’m absolutely loving it. I’ve been using Moguri Mod and Kupo Mail to enhance the graphics and overall experience of a game I cherished as a kid.

Yesterday, I stumbled upon Hades Workshop (huge thanks to Tirlititi for creating such a powerful tool!) and decided to give it a try. However, I must admit I’m completely new to this kind of tool and I have zero background in coding or scripting, so I’m getting a bit lost.

My ultimate goal would be to make the spells Ultima and Flare Star (the ones Kuja uses) available to Vivi:
   •   Ideally as learnable abilities via his ultimate weapon (Mace of Zeus)
   •   Or simply added to his spell list

I read that Ultima is used as an end fight spell and might cause issues when used by a player character (preventing return to fight after animation). Is there a known workaround for this?

So my questions are:
   1.   Is this mod concept technically feasible with Hades Workshop?
   2.   If yes, could someone please guide me step-by-step (or even share a .hws patch I can load)?
   3.   What’s the best way to “borrow” enemy-only spells like Flare Star or Ultima and make them safe to use in normal battles?

Thanks so much in advance to anyone who can help a lost soul here 😅
I’d really appreciate your time and any tips you can share.

Best,
Vincent
