[PC] Enemy editor - IFRIT (0.11C)

[Sysnel]

@Sysnel
Can you send me those battle.fs files? Upload to mediafire or something (zipped) and pm me a link. I just tried on a original and steam version of ff8 and I have no problems. I'm guessing it may have something to do with those special characters.

It seems that I can't send PM yet, so I used the email button below your avatar

[gjoerulv]

Thank you I got em.

EDIT:
It works here just tested with the English. I forgot to mention that battle.fl and battle.fi should be in the same folder as battle.fs.
Can you sand me the spanish battle.fi and battle.fl?

[Sysnel]

Maybe that's the problem I've with the first error, only battle.fs was in the Ifrit folder, not the other two. Anyways, I've sent you the files.

[gjoerulv]

Yes it looks like it. I also get the sane error if only the battle.fs is in the folder. If all 3 files are in the same folder you extract pack too it runs smoothly. At least for me. That error shouldn't occur if yuo place all 3 files in the same folder.

Getting this error half the times I try to save (by clicking the next file and answering yes when it asks to save).

[edit]
And then it corrupts the list like reported before (perhaps this is the source of the problem, not clicking save and changing to the next file).

[gjoerulv]

I'm trying as hard as I can to reproduce that bug, but the program refuses to do anything wrong. I edited every single control on blobra, changed name etc., but it still works fine for me.
Remember, when reporting a bug, you cannot be specific enough about what you did. I still don't have much to work with here.

Looks like you are working on windows 10. I Haven't tested that yet. The error message suggest the file buffer is too short for the filestream, which means the OP could have something to do with it.

In any case, when you get this sort of message, close the program and restart.

[eXistenZe]

Using win10 for a month now. I can replicate it in win8.1 and 7 too.

Steps to replicate:
Open ifrit.
Open folder with fresh .DAT (extracted with ifrit)
Open first file, change exp and AP (I doubled them).
Do not save.
Click the next file.
When asked to save click yes.
Repeat for the next file  (around 30% chance it will cause the error for me).

If I save the changes before moving to the next, it never gives me the error.

Everything marked with "null" most likely refers to battle messages such as Fujin's "ELLONE. WHERE?" and should not be changed. Would be nice to see an updated version of Ifrit containing all ID's someday. Can't do it myself as I'm too busy at the moment, and my programming skills are very limited anyway.

[SunnyD]

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I had two questions.

1 - I replaced one of Edea's spells with Double, but instead of casting it on herself she casts it on Squall.
2 - I also replaced one of her single target spells with Ultima. When she casts Ultima it stays single target.

Is there any way to fix this or have I just missed something obvious?

[gjoerulv]

Even though you can change spells/abilities you can't decide how they are used. All enemies have AIs that make use of them. Sadly Ifrit can't edit AI.

Ah, no problem then. Just have to get a little creative to get around that. Thanks for the answer

[Ironmad]

Hi, I love the program! But I've searched the whole internet now and I can't find any modelviewer/DAT files for alot of the GF's. Like: Leviathan, Quezacotl, Alexander, Doomtrain, Eden. I would love to see Eden in a modelveiwer program like Deling.

So I've extracted all files from Battle.fs and checked all DAT-files but can't see them. Is it impossible to fix them in a update?

[JWP]

Only GFs that you fight (Ifrit, Brothers, Diablos, Cerberus, Bahamut, Cactuar and Tonberry) will have a battle model (.dat files - which is what Ifrit deals with) and this is only used for the battle with them.
The actual summon animations are in the magic files that haven't been fully deciphered yet.

I've pointed out which functions deal with the actual summons in the exe in this post.
Those functions load the files needed for each animation but no-one has yet managed to work out the geometry/animations as far as I'm aware.
The only information I can see on the wiki for these files is here.

[Maki]

Forget about that wiki page. It's super outdated.
GFs are known to use edited header, but their format is the same as casual DAT file. There's working script for all GFs to be able to use with Noesis somewhere here on Qhimm.
For GF environment objects, I did only the vertex parsing. See here for source: https://github.com/MaKiPL/FF8-Rinoa-s-Toolset/blob/master/SerahToolkit_SharpGL/GF_enviro.cs
It's not compatible with 2/3 of other MAG files.

[JWP]

Ah, you're right... finding stuff around here can be a pain xD.
Looks like the information is here

[JWP]

I've been working on an AI editor recently and it can currently decompile bytecode into a C-like syntax and compile back into AI byte code.
I've been using Ifrit to develop it because it was a convenient way to access the dat files without much effort.
I was wondering if you wanted to include it in an Ifrit release, if not I'll probably pull the AI editing stuff out and make a standalone tool.

The major changes aside from the AI stuff is that Ifrit now targets .NET Framework 4.5 and would require the ANTLR and ScintillaNET runtime files.

[gjoerulv]

Oi! Nice!

Feel free to update in sourceforge.

[JWP]

Ok, I'll spend a bit of time tidying the code up and adding more error checking and then I'll commit it .
One question, would I need to be added to a list in order to be able to commit to the repo?
Also would you want to me add it as a branch instead of commiting master? - mainly since it requires .NET 4.5 instead of .NET 2.0 the current version requires

[gjoerulv]

No, iirc it's a free-fot-all to commit whatever they want.

Make a branch? Hmmm... Now that you mention it I got a bit on the fence. But, seriously, I don't think it'll be a problem. The reason I had it set to 2.0 was to make it more compatible with wine. Just commit to master.

EDIT: Oh, and it's no rush by any means. I won't be working on this any time soon...

[JWP]

Ah ok .
I wasn't going to commit it for a while anyway, I've still got a lot of kinks to iron out, I was just trying to figure out what I was going to do with it in the end .

[volvania]

Jwp can you give me a link to your AI editor even if it is a beta version i want to test it even with the bugs please, this is literally what i was waiting for this whole years  tears in my eyes cant discripe my heapiness (

[JWP]

I'll see what I can do about releasing a beta later today.

[mexico]

I want it too please. ^^

[JWP]

Very early beta can be found here.
A list of functions can be found here.
In theory the AI editing stuff should mostly work now aside from 3 files that can't be opened (Dummy, Tri-point and one of the Ultimecia ones) and Unknown tests (in if statements) can't currently be compiled but unknown functions as part of statements can. If all the words are highlighted, it should compile.
Editing text section currently does nothing and only displays "." instead of characters.
I have no idea if it works in-game or actually patches the offsets correctly, I've not had a chance to thoroughly test it yet.

EDIT: here is a list of constants, the text value can be used in tests but only the numeric converted to decimal can be used in functions at the moment:
characters:
            SQUALL = 0x00,
            ZELL = 0x01,
            IRVINE = 0x02,
            QUISTIS = 0x03,
            RINOA = 0x04,
            SELPHIE = 0x05,
            SEIFER = 0x06,
            EDEA = 0x07,
            SELF = 0xC8,
            RANDOM_ENEMY = 0xC9,
            LAST_ATTACKER = 0xCB,
            ALL_ENEMIES = 0xCC,
            ALL_ALLIES = 0xCD,
            RANDOM_ALLY = 0xCF
statuses:
            DEAD = 0x00,
            POISON = 0x01,
            PETRIFY = 0x02,
            BLIND = 0x03,
            SILENCE = 0x04,
            BERSERK = 0x05,
            ZOMBIE = 0x06,
            SLEEP = 0x10,
            HASTE = 0x11,
            SLOW = 0x12,
            STOP = 0x13,
            REGEN = 0x14,
            PROTECT = 0x15,
            SHELL = 0x16,
            REFLECT = 0x17,
            AURA = 0x18,
            CURSE = 0x19,
            DOOM = 0x1A,
            INVINCIBLE = 0x1B,
            PETRIFYING = 0x1C,
            FLOAT = 0x1D,
            CONFUSION = 0x1E,
            DRAIN = 0x1F,
            EJECT = 0x20,
            DOUBLE = 0x21,
            TRIPLE = 0x22,
            DEFEND = 0x23,
            CHARGED = 0x26,
            BACK_ATTACKED = 0x27,
            VIT0 = 0x28,
            ANGEL_WING = 0x29,
            HASMAGIC = 0x2E,
            SUMMONING = 0x2F

List of tests:
battle
enemy.alive
enemy.status
self.varXX - XX = DC-E3
battle.varXX - XX = 60-67
save.varXX - XX = 50-57
rand() % X
self.status
self.hp
character.alive
monster(X).hp
difficulty
timer
gfstolen

I'm pretty sure that 0x0A followed by 0x00 is last attack type but I haven't coded it yet (0x0A tests 6 different bytes, I think 0x01 is character ID of last attacker and 0x02 is turn count)

random_npc's information on the AI stuff might also be useful, see here and here

EDIT2: updated link with a version that fixes file shrinking issues

[mexico]

Hmmm well I have a problem with this tool. When I lauch it, I have these 2 windows:





And the tool doesn't start. I have Microsoft.NET framework 4.5.2 so I don't understand what happens, any idea ?
