Hacking FF8/FF7
« on: 2001-01-02 19:02:00 »
Okay, for PC version.
FF8:
How to have a enemy in the party?
And a proggie (for Qhimm to make  :wink: - one that by pressing hotkeys during the battle, you will change camera views - possible?
FF7:
How to hack the game so I can have Sephy in the party (Sephy not with a Sephirtoh patch) and control it w/o killing/reviving?
And the same as in FF8 : enemies in party!

For your FF7 questions:
1. What you see is what you get. There is no known way to put Seph in your party besides using a save editor. The Sephiroth Patch is completely different than having Sephiroth in your party. The only way to control Seph is to kill and then revive him. I believe his status as computer controlled is determined by a single byte, and I once spent hours using Gamehack trying to isolate that one bit.

2. There is no known way to do what you're asking.

2. Oh yes, changing camera angle is very possible. It just requires me to program a in-betwen layer between the game and DirectX. Shouldn't take me more than a month, and will fix it so that the battles will have higher resolutions too (as much as your card can handle). Too bad I simply don't want to spend a month on it...

You are correct, however we are talking about different things.
You are talking about camera angles in FF8 (which was FF8 question #2).
I was talking about Sephiroth (#1 FF7) and getting enemies in one's party for FF7 (#2 FF7).

No, sorry. In two or three years you will all be drooling over Legacy and tell me I did the right choice...

Well, DirectX has many parts. I only created an inbetween layer for DirectMusic. To do this stuff I'd have to do DirectDraw and Direct3D, a vastly larger task.

Legacy is a game we're doing at http://www.legacy-ovwp.org" TARGET=_blank>www.legacy-ovwp.org  ... basically it's a 3rd person story driven RPG, though it won't be linear like Final Fantasy. We aim it to be the best computer RPG ever...of course... ;-)

You're making a game? Here's my suggestions.

1)Add Minigames which looks like RA2.

2)Make it an Instant(like diablo2.)

Bye.

A TPP RPG? Cool!!! Waiting for it  :)

Joey : Why don't you make your own - you HAVE enough KNOWLEDGE about IT because YOU work at SquareSoft. It should NOT be a problem, should it?

Mmmmmmmm.....At there they don't use C++ but an easier language which has a diffrent compiler(which I can't find anywhere) and the language goes something like this:

FF9_deflator()
If battle.fl/magic.ooo.tim = 123 then
Change_graphic = pixel 45,89 to 67,89

....and so on.

And we're not allowed to bring the compiler back here......

Joey, I hate to repeat myself but you speak of things you do not know about. What you have posted appears to be a script language, made for writing the storyline. I say this because it looks like it contains elements which must be tuned specifically for Squaresoft's proprietary file format...

It might of course be a non-C++ language, but the reason they've picked it would certainly not be that C++ is too difficult. The code you have posted looks more complicated than C++, if you can't grasp C++ you shouldn't really be programmer. I don't mean that everyone should be using C++ (they shouldn't), I mean that if you can't understand C++ because it is too difficult please consider calling yourself something else than "programmer"...

All things considered, I'm a "future programmer". I'm about 1/8th of the way through learning C. I can write basic, basic, programs. That's it.

Sir Canealot: Why not do it yourself?

Looks a bit like alternate basic or basic alternate (don't know how its called in English)

Its Visual Basic but you can create your own commands up to 8 bytes.

Wow, I can't believe you just revived a 4-year-old post.  You'll probably get some guff from a moderator, so brace yourself.

Ooh, thread reviving and taking Joey's writings seriously are we?

Don't, and don't. Older topics are there for reference, not for discussion.
