Difficulty mods for FF9 make me happy. This game is far under-modded compared to FF7 and FF8.

Moving to releases, since clearly you have a download here.

resinate · « **Reply #2 on:** 2015-10-15 19:38:03 »

yea im brand new here, been working on this on twitch live, it is possible to make it to end of disc 4 at lvl 1

but yea any suggestions or ideas lemme know. i can also make game alot harder if anyone wants harder version. i made this version where it starts very easy then ends very hard.

Zara9 · « **Reply #3 on:** 2015-10-15 22:34:52 »

hey

is it poissable for you to make a easy type ff9 hack just curious

resinate · « **Reply #4 on:** 2015-10-16 01:06:41 »

what would u suggest to make it easier. i removed hardcore cuz in a way its not really that hard. next week i can make easy and hardcore version

Zara9 · « **Reply #5 on:** 2015-10-16 11:12:10 »

hey

you could make a easy type hack of ff9 by making all the party members have max status, have all items in the game and max hp and inf and max mp and inf mp in the hack

Tsuna · « **Reply #6 on:** 2015-10-16 11:27:46 »

Is difficulty mods all we can do do for ff9 at the minute? I understand it's not for pc which makes it difficult but was just wondering.

resinate · « **Reply #7 on:** 2015-10-16 16:18:38 »

Tsun what are u looking for in a mod in ff9? mine isnt just about how hard the game is. i made use of everything possible. have a look for urself. lol

also i will not be making cheat mods for ff9 sry guys thats not my style.

Tsuna · « **Reply #8 on:** 2015-10-16 16:30:56 »

I can't check it yet as the pc is currently dead. But things like the background textures and maybe music or models. Same as the others really. BTW sorry I didn't say it sooner but good job on this. It sounds unreal. Being able to put these into the game would be epic. Praises to you if you can do it http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=551612

I'm a complete newb when it comes to modding/hacking so I wonder if it's possible to apply the Waifu upscaling method that we've recently seen done for 7 by Satsuki to ff9? That would really make it amazing, the character models and menus and whatnot are already pretty good. Good work on the mod.

resinate · « **Reply #10 on:** 2015-10-17 06:24:16 »

u guys relize this is a gameplay mod not graphical mod.

resinate · « **Reply #11 on:** 2015-10-17 20:22:50 »

New update, new version with custom abilites and spells. each char is pretty powerful.

resinate · « **Reply #12 on:** 2015-11-07 22:26:44 »

applied new 8.4 update with more new skills and tweaks.

iloveyou771 · « **Reply #13 on:** 2015-11-08 11:42:03 »

its cool to see there are also mods for FF IX since my most favorite FF games are 7 and 9.i will have a try on this mod too.i was hopping that there will be a beatrix mod out there that replace steiner as a playable character...how nice

but i think this is too hard

resinate · « **Reply #14 on:** 2015-11-08 19:30:36 »

i would play it before judging how hard it is lol

iloveyou771 · « **Reply #15 on:** 2015-12-05 13:09:17 »

hello again guys, i have one questions to ask here about FF IX modding using Hades workshop. i want to modify some of disc 4 normal enemy + boss hp to go over 65535(the max hp limit) or just make thier hp pool to loop over and over few times so how to do it? thx in advanced

Tirlititi · « **Reply #16 on:** 2015-12-06 09:53:12 »

Increasing the HP limit can't be done directly. You can only loop the HP pool a few times as you suggested.
The details are explained here, using Trance Kuja as an example :

iloveyou771 · « **Reply #17 on:** 2015-12-06 12:44:25 »

thx for the guide link but very sry i still don't quite understand how to change the value of the hp pool loop. i know its in the loop function trance kuja loop, right? but i don't know which line and which value to change so that T.kuja hp will loop 3 times. Also only T.kuja battle will end after his hp less than 10000, right? for other boss like garland and silver dragon..etc are different? i am not familiar with programming and its coding so its hard for me to understand

Tirlititi · « **Reply #18 on:** 2015-12-06 13:39:31 »

To make HP loop 3 times, change the "5" to a "3" in those lines (the full "loop" function is in the post linked) :

Code: [Select]

    if ( #( SV_FunctionEnemy[HP] <$ 10000 ) ) {
        if ( VAR_B7_60 < 5 ) {
            SET VAR_B7_60++
            SET SV_FunctionEnemy[HP] =$ Op2B(SV_FunctionEnemy[MAX_HP])
        } else {

"++" means the variable is incremented (so "VAR_B7_60" goes from 0 to 1, then from 1 to 2, etc... each time Kuja's HP gets under 10000).

Another thing you must not forget to do is to change the local variable counter to 61. You find that counter at the left of the text of the functions in Hades Workshop (at least in the current version).

A lot of bosses in FF9 have this kind of principle "battle will end after his hp less than 10000". The most noticeable exceptions are the 4 Fiends, Quale, Taharka, Ark, Tantarian and Hilgigars.
For those, you need to implement the healing inside the looping function quiet the same way. Only there is no "if ( #( SV_FunctionEnemy[HP] <$ 10000 ) ) {" in the looping function by default.

iloveyou771 · « **Reply #19 on:** 2015-12-07 10:16:02 »

thx again Tirlititi for the help and sry for the trouble

new edit: one question to ask you resinate, did you modify all the bosses at the end of disc 3 to have hp more than 65535 also applies to disc 4 some strong enemis and all bosses to have over 65535 hp(hp loop). I wish to see some nice and awesome skill like Flare star,Ultima and grand cross are usable but only available starts near the end of disc 3(Pandaemonium) and starts disc 4. Flare star also can be used by some end game bosses or strong enemy like Behemoth.

Love challenging and nice battle^^

Ok so I wanted to try this out and this literally just happened:

Did I do something wrong?

If you want your images to embed correctly, use imgur. PostImage is a sucky site that sucks. I have reuploaded your image to imgur for you. ~Covarr

resinate · « **Reply #21 on:** 2015-12-15 00:44:29 »

yes u have to have to use version 0.28b tool to apply it

resinate · « **Reply #22 on:** 2016-03-29 13:59:16 »

Updated mod to 9.0 fixed yan battle crash on disc 4 i hope, feel free to post results.

Nikkolas · « **Reply #23 on:** 2016-06-09 07:43:49 »

I'm thinking I'll give this a try. I love seeing new abilities for characters in FFIX mods. However I am curious, did you alter Steals from bosses at all?

Also you described Disk 1 and 2 as easy. You meant easy relative to what comes later right? I mean, I would like the first half of the game to be a challenge.

resinate · « **Reply #24 on:** 2016-10-20 05:36:01 »

just did massive overhaul on mod, all discs should provide quite a challenge. everything can be maxxed out, HP MP STATS DEF

10/20 update:
*Fixed greens from not working to summon chocobo
*balanced power and MP costs of spells and summons
