Hello! Is it possible to swap characters' animations in battle through this tool?

Hello! Is it possible to swap characters' animations in battle through this tool?

It's possible to change files, but I don't know if PC mods are compatible with Switch version.

 

[Eu992]

Ummm... I know that animation swapping is an easy thing in FFXII, just extracting, renaming and replacing the animation archive in the character's folder. I thought that it would be something similar to this

 

[masagrator]

Many Switch games are incompatible with PC files. In case of XII I know that textures are compatible with PC version. I don't know about animations.

Petty question but is there a way to remove the base FFX to just leave X-2? I've finished X already on PS4 but never got around to finishing 2 and rather not eat up all the space if not necessary.

Hi, can I get some guidance? From what I understand the process should be:

1. Get the unpacker and the vbf files on the same folder

2. Use cmd with the lines provided in the first post (ffxsw-vbf.exe -l -u FFXII_TZA.vbf). this should unpack the files in an auto-generated folder. For some reason this is not working for me, it says:
Reading file structure...
Error: cannot open input file "FFXII_TZA.vbf"

3.Now, when (if) I manage to solve this error, I'll have the unpacked files, and I'll be able to edit them. Once I have edited them, I have to repack the vbf. From what I understand, I will have to repack all the files, not just the ones I have edited.
Then I will have to put the romfs folder in the Atmosphere>titles>titleID folder.

I appreciate any help given, I'm a bit lost.

Sorry for the long post and thanks for your patience.

2. So file is broken and I can't help with that.
3.

For all games: Only files that you want to repack must be in folder with unpacked archive files. Rest of files should be deleted.
Ofc files need to be in correct paths. Don't think that tool will guess where files were.

I think it's clear enough.

Ok, I will extract the NSP again and see if it works this time.

On 3, I must have misunderstood from another thread, my bad.

Thanks

Is this related to enable and control dynamic resolution for FFXII?
Because this one is only missing from making a mode to make it like 720p handheld patch.
My dream is to could play it with its own patch not like reverseNX.

No.

how I port pc mod to switch

how I port pc mod to switch

Super late reply but I think it depends on the game and mod in question. I was able to bring certain parts of Final Fantasy XII's Struggle For Freedom PC mod because the file size and structures between the two versions are identical. Specifically, the part of the mod that gives enemies 2x HP and 1.3x stat buffs, making the game just a bit more difficult. I'm looking into the remixed License Boards now.

 

[Viri]

So, did anyone or is it even possible to add those PC fast forward features to the Switch version?

 

[Stellar]

Here's three mods ready to use with Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age on the switch:

Fullscreen Cutscenes (no letterbox):

+

Hidden Health Bars (only while at full HP):

Note that Fran here is at full health so her bar is hidden, but Balthier and Vaan are missing HP and so theirs still show up.

+

Slightly Thicker Fran:

This tool has been made by ffgriever. It's made specifically for Switch version.
It can unpack & repack files:

#Final Fantasy X/X-2:
data\FFX_Data.vbf
data\FFX2_Data.vbf
data\Common_Data.vbf
data\metamenu.vbf

#Final Fantasy XII:
FFXII_TZA.vbf
FFXII_TZA_PATCH.vbf

Commands:

//Final Fantasy X/X-2
Unpack:
ffxsw-vbf.exe -u *name of archive*

Repack:
ffxsw-vbf.exe -r *unpacked archive folder* *name of archive*

Pack (experimental):
ffxsw-vbf.exe -c *unpacked archive folder* *name of archive*

//Final Fantasy XII
Unpack:
ffxsw-vbf.exe -l -u *name of archive*

Repack:
ffxsw-vbf.exe -l -r *unpacked archive folder* *name of archive*

Pack (experimental):
ffxsw-vbf.exe -l -c *unpacked archive folder* *name of archive*

Restrictions:


Archives are messed up. Some files are inscribed in archive, but there is no data of it, so tool automatically skips this files and writes info when is doing it.
If file is too big for patching it, it puts file at the end of archive

Big shoutout to ~ffgriever for taking his time to make this possible.

#28.04: Added new version that resolves some issues with repacking
#Thx to @eaZy41 for help

#02.05: Added support for Final Fantasy XII
#Added support for creating vbf archives

I tryed to use this program on Windows 10. This Program doesn't have suport for W10? how can i use this?

 

[Fadi5555]

Please can we make FFX-2 turn base like FFX?
I mean to make the enemies stop from attack until take the action. Even if we select the wait mode but the enemies are still attacking constantly unlike FFX.
If we can do that it’ll be amazing.

 

[InfoAddict]

I was the one who did the undub ps3 and also ps4 (private forum).
You don't just have to replace the voices, there are changes to be made in hexa.
Otherwise it doesn't work. For the switch, I would have to extract and see the structure of the files.

Édit : I have the game on hand, will look tomorrow, I'll keep you informed.

Can anyone help me find the PS4 undub please?

Maybe go to PS4 subforum instead of posting in Nintendo Switch subforum? :V

The post I quoted is the only post on the whole internet that affirms the existence of the PS4 undub of FFX.
