Yes, I have complete and exacting info for how FFVI's data is arranged. What do you need to know exactly?Originally Posted by Gleeok
All spells in the game are one table (including sub-ranges for regular magic spells, esper summons, blue magic, and enemy-only spells).
This is distinct from the list of items (a couple of items are implemented with spells, i.e. they have a unique spell that is fired off when the item is used, but that is really an exception and not the rule).
Great! Thanks!
Do you know if items contain the same number of bytes regardless of type? (like potion : armor)
This post contains the official Gleeok seal of approval. Look for these and other posts in an area near you.
Let me direct your attention to this fine page: http://www.tales-cless.org/docs/ff6hack.htm#part4
According to this, every item is stored with 30 bytes, though not every item uses all 30 of them.
Shattered Earth, coming soon!
Mappers needed. If you want to help, send a PM to MasterSwordUltima.
Yes, in Final Fantasy 6, all items take up 30 bytes although I preface that by saying that many do no actually use the whole 30 depending on the type, and what the different fields within that 30 can mean different things based on the type (e.g. the same byte may be battle power on a weapon and defense power on an armor). Personally, I find 30 bytes too restrictive but of course if you're familiar with the game, they did a lot with those 30 bytes.
EDIT: rather than speak in hypotheticals, let me just post the data format:

EDIT: Sorry, didn't notice that Glenn already said pretty much the same thing. I can only redeem myself by saying that I can get you info on what all these things mean, as well as any other data format, if it helps to illustrate how the game operates.
