I got around to testing the Auto-Shell and Auto-Protect tweaks today. For testing purposes I put them both on Zidane's standard Dagger to test them in the first battle.

Issues I encountered:

1. I cannot skip the opening cutscene.
2. When the first battle starts, the music is playing, but my screen remains black and the game stops responding.

Any clue what could be causing this?

@Tirlititi

Awesome. :)

I have two more questions:

1. Is it possible to lower the max item cap from 99 in the Hades Workshop (to, lets say, 20)? So, any item over 20 will be discarded.

2. Is it possible to make the required AP for certain skills higher than 255 in the Hades Workshop?

Thanks again.

Kind regards

After a long abscence I decided to give modding FF IX a go again.

Last time in June, I asked about turning Auto-Life and Auto-Regen into Auto-Shell and Auto-Protect.

I already know how to convert Auto-Life into Auto-Shell. Now I'm attempting to turn Auto-Regen into Auto-Protect. So, in the CIL Code, Auto-Regen is like this by default:

IL_00C5: ldarg.0
IL_00C6: ldfld 0x400024C // BTL_DATA::sa
IL_00CB: ldc.i4.0
IL_00CC: ldelem.u4
IL_00CD: ldc.i4.8
IL_00CE: and
IL_00CF: brfalse IL_00F3
IL_00D4: ldarg.0
IL_00D5: ldfld 0x400022C // BTL_DATA::stat
IL_00DA: dup
IL_00DB: ldfld 0x400021E // STAT_INFO::permanent
IL_00E0: ldc.i4 262144
IL_00E5: or
IL_00E6: stfld 0x400021E // STAT_INFO::permanent
IL_00EB: ldarg.0
IL_00EC: ldc.i4.s 18
IL_00EE: call 0x6000443 // btl_stat::SetOprStatusCount

Following your instructions posted in June, would this do the trick to convert it into Auto-Protect?

IL_00C5: ldarg.0
IL_00C6: ldfld 0x400024C // BTL_DATA::sa
IL_00CB: ldc.i4.0
IL_00CC: ldelem.u4
IL_00CD: ldc.i4.8
IL_00CE: and
IL_00CF: brfalse IL_00F3
IL_00D4: ldarg.0
IL_00D5: ldfld 0x400022C // BTL_DATA::stat
IL_00DA: dup
IL_00DB: ldfld 0x400021E // STAT_INFO::permanent
IL_00E0: ldc.i4 8388608 // NOTE: Was 262144 = Regen, changed to 8388608 = Protect?
IL_00E5: or
IL_00E6: stfld 0x400021E // STAT_INFO::permanent
IL_00EB: ldarg.0

// Start of Edits (basically add this part from start to end of edits?)
IL_XXXX: ldfld 0x400022C // BTL_DATA::stat
IL_XXXX: dup
IL_XXXX: ldfld 0x400021F // STAT_INFO::cur
IL_XXXX: ldc.i4 8388608 // NOTE: 8388608 = Protect?
IL_XXXX: or
IL_XXXX: stfld 0x400021F // STAT_INFO::cur
// End of Edits

IL_00EC: ldc.i4.s 18 // NOTE: Can this part be removed?
IL_00EE: call 0x6000443 // btl_stat::SetOprStatusCount // NOTE: Can this part be removed as well?

Okay, I'm a bit new to editing CIL Code. I assume I need to go the Raw Code part, but I'm unsure which setting I need to edit in the drop down list. I cannot find "btl_abil": http://imgur.com/a/KmH8V

Quick question: Is it possible to use the Hades Workshop to change "Auto-Regen" to "Auto-Protect" and "Auto-Life" to "Auto-Shell"? If yes, how can I do this?

D'oh, my bad, I downloaded the source file from Github instead of the actual program. No wonder I couldn't got it work.

Once I downloaded the correct version and followed your steps, it worked like a charm.

Thanks for the help.

Kind regards

Hi there

I am very new to modding FF IX and I'm not sure how to open the Hades Workshop.

I have downloaded the files, extracted them and put them in the C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX. (unmodded folder)

After that, I tried running the FF9_Launcher.exe. Then, I hit PLAY on the launcher. This message pops up: http://imgur.com/a/ssDgj
I just click OK and the launcher re-appears. I click PLAY again. But after that, the game just keeps hanging on the FINAL FANTASY IX logo and nothing seems to happen.

I am sorry for the simple question, but how do I should I open the Hades Workshop?

Thank you in advance

Kind regards

Yes, it's possible using Hades Workshop.
Go to the panel "Party -> Stats": there's the Exp/AP requirements there.
For the Gil you receive, it's in the "Enemies" panel. You need to change the gil reward for each battle (you can tick the option "Edit Similar Enemies" to make it a bit faster.

I have some noob questions.
I have downloaded Hades Workshop and extracted it. But I cannot find any exe file (in the folders) to launch it. Do I need to put it in my game folder? Or do I need another program to open a file within the extracted folder? How can I open the interface?

I was wondering whether it's possible to edit the amount of EXP, AP you need to level up your skills/character levels?
Also, is it possible to edit the amount of Gil you receive?

I want to make my game a little harder by making it harder to level up and get Gil.

Thanks in advance
