That may be right; I didn't look at the headers very closely.

Good job Mauron.

I was worried that double/triple techs would be complicated.  If we can still get the start/end of the events i'll  just make properties disabled for Enemies/Techs until we know more information.

I'll test out enemies when I get time.

Mauron,

Where in the Rom are these things loacated?  For example if I load this in a hex editor what address should I go to?  The given addresses are out of range...

[ZealKnight]

I don't do any programming so is this hard to do or could I make a tech in like a week?(of course I'm including experience) In other words how difficult will this be?

[Vehek]

Repost (and reword):
Those are SNES addresses. Change that C to a 0.

Zeal knight

Hopefully you can make one in a week. Browse other techs and get a feel for what is going on. Yet put some stuff and let us know If you issues look for my post about haste 2
Vehek I did not know that ha ha I don't know basics thanks

Ok, but now for the stupid questions. What do I need, I downloaded the link under Where but it says " the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). click ok to terminate the application." And I have no clue what that means.

First off you are going to need to get tf running to remove headers get that running first cause that will make sure you have the .net framework working.

Also for the link right click and choose save as don't just click it.

Download Lunar Address, it's an invaluable tool to convert between file addresses and snes addresses. Any addresses churned out by a debugger (Geiger's debugger for example) are in SNES format, where all the data and code are stored in banks. Hi ROM and Lo ROM are a bit different from each other, but still not a problem with Lunar Address.


Tick the third checkbox (HiROM) and enter the snes address in the lower righthand box, and the file address (for use with a regular hex editor) will appear in the lower left hand box. I have snapped a shot of me converting one of the enemy tech location addresses.

Alternately, you can type in a file address in the lower left, and it will convert it to an SNES address in the lower right, useful for setting a breakpoint in a debugger.

ZealKnight, you could whip up some cool techs in a matter of minutes, probably. Layer 3 graphics effects are all listed in an Excel file attachment a page back or so. I haven't done any investigation of sound or much investigation of Layer 1 graphics effects though, so you're on your own there. Also, doing techs that involve a character actually moving during the tech (like Crono's Cyclone, or Ayla's Triple Kick) will be significantly more difficult than whipping up magic-only techs that involve only spellcasting animations.

Let thy enemy techs be editable!

This release is going to set up for the next release of tech editor where everything is loaded up from a file (like the AI editor).  Till then there's a new link on the front page load up the new techeditor.exe and the text file.  I haven't tested this besides loading in the enemy techs and making sure they were loading correctly.  But it seems to be exactly the same as PC techs!

There's still no "enemy tech properties" (like graphics...) but this is certainly step forward.


Note:

Mauron...if you do have the time while debugging out enemy techs it's be incredibly helpful if you could take the following extra steps:

1)  Debugger gives you address
2)  Load up address in hex editor
3)  Note current address...for example D[XX][YY] where XX YY are any hexadecimal number
4)  The bytes before this address are object pointers you want to find the object pointer to the this point.  so scan the bytes before for [YY][XX]] (note they are reversed)
5)  This is sthe true "beginning of the tech".  It would save me time....however that's very selfish of me.  So don't worry about it unless you have free time.

I'll start giving you the true beginning point from now on.

[Mauron]

I tried looking up the beginning point, but I kept getting the same few values. Can you double check my work?
