ROM Hack Bravely Second Money Hex Offsets

[Gamerjin]

give me some time, i see i can futher explain how this works....

 

[Animeman1000]

OK, thanks man.

It'd be great if someone just made a dang Save Editor that does all this for us. lol

so in that example
18630 * (2^2) = lvl 10 for tiz
18630 * 4 = 67320 = 01 06 F8 => covert => [F8 06 01] <-this is what you type @
0x106A

18630 * 4....I calculated 74520, not 67320. Also does 0x106A mean:

 

[Gamerjin]

i redid that and yes, youre right(i somehow swap the 8 and 6 ). 74520 = 01 23 18 in hex. convert it over to little => 18 23 01. and no, its 3 bytes [00 11 22], 0x106C is where the 01 for freelancer and if we use lvl 10 knight (18630*(8)= 149040 => 02 46 30 => 30 46 02) the 30 to get 31 for 0x160C
so, in the end lvl freelancer and lvl 10 knight will look like this:
0x1060 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 18 23 31 46 02 00
________ 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F
____________________________________________^^ here @ 106C is where the overlapping bytes from lancer (01) and knight (30) are added together.

i'm........not good at explaining things. so if confuses you, im sorry.

 

[Animeman1000]

Still don't get it. Oh well. I gotta go. Thanks for trying to explain.

So let's say I wanna edit Yew's Freelancer which is level 3 right now. The Hex, which is offset 12EF, has:

Do I multiply that value by 4? How do I get the value. Really wanting to understand.

 

[Gamerjin]

do you want to go to lvl 10? if so, and the offsets hold true, then:
0x12EF JP (2^0)
0X12EF 18630 * (2^0)
0X12EF 18630 * (1) x^0 = 1 (no matter what x is)
0X12EF 00 48 C6 => convert to little => C6 48 00
and i thought this might happen. Yew offset is starting at 0x12EF, so that means:
0x12EF = C6
0x12F0 = 48
0x12F1 = 00

and yes, i know hex editing can be tricky, especially when dealing with little indian, cuz you have to remember to flip the byte order:
ie. your level 3 jp: 08 01 00 => convert back to big => 00 01 08 => 0x108 (264 in decimal)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

just to recap:
the JP muiltplier is found in this post:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/bravely-second-money-hex-offsets.416169/page-3#post-6399407

multiplier is incremented by one in every next job, so it's going like that:
2^0 -> 2^1 -> 2^2 -> 2^3 -> 2^4 -> 2^5 -> 2^6 -> 2^7 -> 2^0

 

[Animeman1000]

OK, well I'll try to understand. lol
Thanks. Sorry for the bother.

 

[Animeman1000]

Could I just get the values to input instead? Trying to figure it out myself is annoying. IDK what max job levels are in this game, but level 10 works.
For whatever you know.

 

[Gamerjin]

ive attach a basic dec to hex converter
use it like this:
DtH.bat "decimal#"
it will tell you the right hex code.
DtH.bat 18630
hex=C6 48 00
ive already check it, and its correct
all you have to do is the multiplying...

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

i also dug a little and found this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/bravelydef..._second_vs_bravely_default_jobs_comparison/#s

It has the table youre looking for, muiltply the jp values and put those numbers into my batch file and you have a somewhat easy system...

 

[Animeman1000]

Thanks dude.
Quick thing do I rename the file? Like DtH 28629? That part is the only part I don't quite get.
Sorry for being such a fucking noob. lol

 

[Gamerjin]

dth was just shorthand for "Decimal to Hex" technically, since its a batch file, you can rename to anything you want, in most case you can right-click->rename or if in windows usually F2 can rename it as well. just must sure you give it a decimal number, i didn't design it to go both ways.

 

[Animeman1000]

What I mean is, IDK how to use it. lol
I feel bad bothering you so much dude. Sorry.

 

[Gamerjin]

oh! yeah you had it right, DtH # where # is a decimal number.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

i forgot to mention, you will need to extract out of the zip file...

 

[Animeman1000]

Well I must be doing it wrong because I rename it....and I run it and it just shows 00 00 00 all the time.

 

[Gamerjin]

ah, my bad, youre on windows, right?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

hold on, let me rework the batch file....

 

[Animeman1000]

Yeah Windows. lol

"Remember not to double post. lmao"

 

[Gamerjin]

yeah it does that when i post too quickly... /: |.

Ok, reworked the batch file so it prompt you for a decimal #

 

[Animeman1000]

That was quick.

^Hope you get the reference.

 

[Gamerjin]

MGS, right? i think that was ocelot? never played any of them, mostly saw youtube video of the gameplay...

 

[Animeman1000]

Yeah. lol

Also I edited the comment cause I had another question, but I'll re-ask here.

Let's say I want the job level to be 11. I would take the JP value, for example 28629, and multiply by (2^10), which is 29316096? Then I put that in the bat file and the hex is what I insert into the offset of the job?
