ROM Hack [Request] Final Fantasy Explorers save editor

[Pororo]

Custom Ability location-wise, there are two places; one that you have purchased (offset around 23E14~), and one where it is purchasable (at the big crystal; 29BD4~). The exact location should be listed somewhere earlier in the thread.

Ability looks like this when you open from the hex editor:
6C 49 41 C7 A2 02 00 00 23 00 01 00 1D 00 01 00 31 00 01 00 39 00 01 00 36 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

6C 49 41 C7 is the base ability: this is Camouflage.
A2 02 I think is the index of that ability (where it is located).
23 00 01 means P-Attack Up (23 00) at 1 (01).
and this basically repeats for the next mutations.

I have some data but not all. This is just what I have on txt file... have some more on excel, but the link skills are going to be a major pain since it looks like each Link: skill has its own hex value.

74 00 Link: Syphon
75 00
76 00 Link: Dark

so on and so forth. I don't know any way to just use the provided table to see which is what; I just dug this out of my own savefile without reading that since I'm not very well-versed in this.

edit: oh I guess accessories... I guess the famed Thief's Anklet/Miracle Shoes example will suffice...
D9 03 77 54 56 BA 6D BA 56 BA 6D BA 72 F6 E7 C9 E4 C6 E0 BE 64 00 64 00 0A 00 0A 00 CB 00 00 00
[D9 03 77 54]: Thief's Anklet
[56 BA 6D BA]: Max AP+ (see two of this)
[72 F6 E7 C9]: HP Absorb
[E4 C6 E0 BE]: AP Absorb
And the values for these are at the end; two of 64 is +100 AP, and two 0A (10 in decimal) is for HP and AP absorb, respectively.
The CB at the end I think is the index.

45 88 94 86 5E 97 E9 27 05 E6 0E CD 72 F6 E7 C9 E4 C6 E0 BE 5A 00 0A 00 0A 00 0A 00 E2 00 00 00
[45 88 94 86]: Miracle Shoes
[5E 97 E9 27]: Healing Step (Max = 90)
[05 E6 0E CD]: Resist Fire (Max = 10)

[sxp5702]

Soo....I'd like for someone to figure out what I did... I used the offline save editor, got all equipment and items... load game...everything works.... went to save my sage preset and it had different gear on...it had a staff as second equip and Gungnir as my first slot... I can use spear skills and all magic.... how do I replicate this....blessing to choose whatever gear i want without cancelling the stuff out?

 

[sxp5702]

Also, it had 4 physical weapons equipped at same time when i checked what was equipped(highlighted yellow in game). had a shield and staff equipped. for armor the torso had the angel light gear armor on and I think full set of rainbow robes? forget the name. Whenever i switch gear manually the weapons and staff etc all unequip, even when changing armor. only the pendent can be changed without anything deleting.... The spear wielding Sage preset works online. tested already....but I wanna try to... make it so I can choose what weapons to equip rather than sticking to spear.

 

[Arikaido]

Wait... So you're saying that you were able to manually (albiet unintentionally) bypass equipment restrictions?! PLEASE, REPLICATE THIS. Bonus points for doing it with abilities and seeing if you can go on quests. Doubt you can since the game knows when you're over max load, but worth a try anyways.

 

[Rytsu]

can someone help me how can i use the save editor for this game? i downloaded the FFE save editor already... Thanks

This is what happened. Sorry for late reply. idk how to get updates when someone posts in thread. If anyone can tell me how I managed on this weird ass glitch...which works online... lol

I uploaded pics of what multiple weapons are equipped at the same time.... in abilities, it lets me choose mace skills or whatever weapon beastmasters use but it doesn't let me use the skill. BUT, it lets me use Spear skills along with all the sage magic abilities....which is all magic basically. There has to be a way to choose what weapons I can equip or auto equips using the offline save editor lol be nice being a save with 2 extra skills available like maybe swords and bows haha

 

[Arikaido]

Well, there's a good chance that it doesn't cause issues because you can already use magic on any job with any weapon equipped. Something tells me that the game uses whatever is equipped in the primary hand to determine which abilities are useable.

 

[acea]

Nothing to back up but I'm going to guess that the equipment on preset just remembers the index or something along the line, so when you change the equipment on editor but not the index, that happens.

 

[Magnus Hydra]

Any one have a a Hex workshop bookmark made yet to map out the save file? If anyone has an offsets please post.

Edit: here is a quick book mark of all i seen on the thread. I could have missed a lot, I don't have a lot of time right now.


Side note: I am new to the whole 3ds modding. Is there and way to peek and poke to the 3ds if so can I get a link please?

 

[Flora Cherry]

I have a problem to take save it from the games I have every time a red screen help please

 

[adiktus]

Sysnand version 10.5? Yeah, it breaks the save editor homebrews when used on newer games.

 

[Wrathalos]

I run the current Sysnand and JJTapia's Save Manager works perfectly fine for me, even shows me the "Press A to Backup" on FFEX unlike the mess of code I get using it on MH4G. Are you using the latest Homebrew Menu? If you're using an older one, that may be the reason.

I don't really understand where to find abilities and such in the save, but i'll try and update the hex workshop doc.

EDIT:
I updated the bookmarks a bit with what I just learned and things that have been posted in this thread, 50/50 on the things with ?, but the rest should all be true. By the way, the last 40 bits of a Custom Ability is the custom name, ergo: Blood Moon = B.l.o.o.d. .M.o.o.n = @0x28 - 42 00 6C 00 6F 00 6F 00 64 00 20 00 4D 00 6F 00 6F 00 6E

Thank you! I've added some more to it.

 

[Wrathalos]

Great, I'll see if there's anything else that can be added, but I think we've got most of what we know so far. Thanks!

 

[Frost Rabbit]

Ok. Thanks to @infinete for his save files immediately before and after entering the CE code, I managed to enable the exclusive quests in mine. It works for both NA and EU saves apparently. If anyone would like to try them, just change the values of these offsets:

0x23c90 = 0xE0
0x23c91 = 0x01

Which line do I edit? I'm completely new to hex editing so I'm completely lost...

 

[adiktus]

That shows where.

 

[Frost Rabbit]

should the values have turned red?

 

[adiktus]

Red means modified values. They'll turn black once saved.

 

[Frost Rabbit]

now if only I could figure out how to rig my powersaves pro to accept it lol

 

[Wrathalos]

Updated the Bookmarks again with more research on abilities. You can modify your currently equipped Abilities, but you lose them if you change them out and you can't rename them in-game nor are they saved as a custom ability to learn.
You'll find buttons are mapped as B1, B2, B3, B4 and AF, AE, AD, AC in Y, X, A, B order.
