Author Topic: FF6 In Battle Text Editing (Read 3207 times)

I wanted to edit some text in FF6/3 ROM version of the game. Like in the battle with the first boss, Whelk where Vicks and Wedge are talking about its attributes. I've been using some text editors from Zophar's Domain and even did extensive searching for ones that would work. So I can edit the rest of FF6's text, but can't edit the in battle text.

Assistance would be appreciated.

A hex editor might work... But as it is an SNES game it's just a guess.

I found that data in the Square SNES games is LZS-compressed as well. So if you can't find anything with a hex editor it is quite possible that the data is compressed.

The Hex Editor I always used is called Cygnus. So far I haven't found anything in there with it either. Any idea on how I can get to the files TO edit them? Sorry, I just started this and would need a little more explanation.

If no one has written an application yet, you'll probably have to write one yourself.

I imagine the text in FF6 is compressed, so you could dump the battle script, decompress it, edit it, recompress it, and reinsert it. Not that I know exactly how to do that... Just, if you don't know anything about this kind of stuff and no one has written an app, it's going to be rather difficult. :-/
