Rom editor

Does anyone know where I can find an editor for my ff2 rom where I can change the characters(like keeping dark knight cecil in my party etc)

Zophar's Domain. You could also check google.

I created a ROM Hacker and a Savegame Hacker... I believe what you want is the Savegame editor, right?

With a few modifications, I could release a beta version for you... just reply if you are interrested...

I checked Zophars. It didnt work with my emulator. my emulator is a program called sneese. The snes one didnt work on my comp so I used that one.

EDIT: I downloaded zsnes. It is SO much better. The sound is perfect and everything shows up on it. Now if I could only get my savegame editor to work.

Sure you can release the beta.

excellent, zyrtho! i haven't seen any other rom editors for this game.

i don't suppose yours can edit the overworld map...?

Edit the worldmap? I kinda know how I could do that, but it only displays the 3 maps in the game (for now), and a beta-test of the location maps. I started to work full-time, plus 3hrs of transport (bus and subway), which gives me not much time to continue it.

I use my editor to edit enemies, items and magic (among others (like enemy combinations and positions), but those three are the most useful)...

If you want to edit the overworld map, there is that FF4Edit program (written by Yousei, the guy who brought us the popular FF3Edit ^-^).

It takes 600KB... I found it easily a couple of years ago... It still should be.

Hope it helps...

plus 3hrs of transport

Oof. I hope you can at least bring along a good book. (Or a laptop....) I've got about an hour each way by car, myself. It's not the full-time work that kills free time; it's that commute. :P`

there is that FF4Edit program

Yes. Perfect for cosmetic edits, but mostly just a tease. (...unless he ever released a version past 1.0.) It really broke my heart back when I first met it. ;_;

Actually...

Would you happen to know how to find/edit the triggers that take you from the world map to a town/dungeon?

Right now, if you use FF4Ed to, say, place a copy of the mist cave entrance 3 squares from Baron, walking onto the new cave entrance will send you not to the mist cave but instead to the (normally impossible to reach) NW corner of Baron town. Fixing that would be a huge step toward what i was hoping to do with the game.

If you want to edit the savegame, it can be easily done... My second (and most often used (by myself)) program lets you edit most of what is in the savegame, including the current world, map and coordinates.

If you want it, I could ask zophars to host it, or maybe this site allows an attachment of 1MB? I wonder...

Anyway, just ask, and I will se what I can do.

Btw, I prefer 3hrs (1.5hrs each way) of bus/subway than 1hr of car. It's just because I really like to read forgotten realms books, and I am subscribed to Scientific American and PC World. The work, transport and my kung fu courses leave me with the week ends off. :D

hey, i used to read those. moonshae, harpers, dark elf with an unpronounceable name... yeah. that was a long time ago though; are they still publishing new ones?

anyway, you bet i'd be interested! ^__^ either or both of your editors would be great. (and if they went up at zophar's i'm sure they'd find their way to other appreciative otakus as well.) please do.

Allright...
although I'll not have any time for that tomorrow evening (kung fu), i'll check for quick fixes wednesday and friday. Nothing really big... things like an About menu, last-minute checks, stuff...

If you can wait until this weekend, hopefully I'll have found a way to contact and send my prog to zophar by then...

See you until then!

Available free on Microsoft.com's page, of course... Should be included with XP SP2, if I remember right...

anyway, I hope this doesn't bother anyone that much...

awesome. .NET's no problem. and take your time with the tweaks. i mean, the game came out over a decade ago, and bugs seem to be a bigger turnoff for new users than any actual lack of functionality.

gong fu's pretty tough to learn, isn't it? (or is that just my friend's chinese superiority complex talking...?)

Ok... edited it a bit so that I could release a prototype. There are still a few possible bugs, and some areas are not implemented, but it is the prototype, so I'll leave all the fun for the real version, which will be better coded.

Please read, at least, the main page from the offline HTML Help included with the program. It's good to know.

I really hope you enjoy it (not just waterotterunder, but everyone)! Please send me your impressions and feelings, but keep in mind the real program will not look like that.

Eh... I almost forgot to put the link... You can find the program on the main page of my web site. Zyrthofar's woah! page.

Enjoy, and keep me informed if it helped you!

Kung fu's not *that* hard to learn... you just have to memorize the movements and not mess up. I've been doing Shaolin White Crane Kung Fu for a bit more than a year (starting Jan. 2004)... It's a traditional style dating from a long time ago, so I cannot talk about if the other kung fu styles are tough to learn or not.
I wish more people would learn martial arts.... :)

I got it, but I don't really understand it. Maybe I got the wrong one? All it does is display the Overworld, Underworld, and Moon maps. Infact, since I never got too far on the game, I didn't even know tehre was and underworld and moon. Anyway, what can it do?

I have another program I made for map tests that does exactly what you describe, so you got me a bit scared that I had both mixed... I double-checked, and everything seems fine...

Can you please give me the link to the program? it should be something like http://pages.videotron.com/zyrthofr/ff4sge.rar... If you didn't have that, please tell me what you did wrong, so that I can check if it was my fault (and if it's *my* program that somehow got on my site)...

If the link you have is good, check if you have the FF4SGE folder in the rar file, and if it contains the file "FF4 Savegame Editor.exe", along with 4 other file and a folder named "HTMLHelp". If it's not that, please tell me which file are in it.

Thank you for brining that to my attention. I hope I can solve the problem.
Maybe you didn't use the link I provided in my preceding post (post #12). Its the same one that I use in the footer of my messages. If you searched for it using a web seach engine, it's normal you got the wrong program - I didn't list my site yet.

Please msg if you got it or not.

I tihnk it's my fault. One of the downloads I was...downloading canceled itself, and it must've been that one. A mixup on my part, sorry :P.
