Brigandine Grand Edition...

[lubronbrons]

I just registered to say THANKS ! MANY THANKS !
Good job to keep this legend alive !!   
Brigandine Grand Edition is the BEST !!

I want to share this code that I found while playing around with comparative search method, in case somebody need it :

1. I believe the code to make Always Year 215 is not working properly (I tested it out by myself). especially this code
300A68E8 00D7 ---> this code is not working properly it is just visual but not actual year 215
301C7598 00D7 ---> this code is not working properly it is just visual but not actual year 215
so I have better workaround for this.
First you must choose new game in Squire difficulty mode, so you can get infinite time merit
then use this code one time only
Modify current gameplay diff to King
300A63D8 0002
this short code modify your current gameplay difficulty into KING. With this trick you can have infinite time and KING difficulty gameplay  enjoy !
 ---> this method is obsolete, for infinite time limit see this post instead http://www.swordofmoonlight.com/bbs/index.php?topic=869.msg13652#msg13652

also ... I want to request this : (hopefully get some response)

1. please if possible can someone replace Grand Edition organize & battle BGM with Legend of Forsena for each country ?
I am sorry if this is such a troubling request. I don't think Grand Edition organize & battle BGM is bad. But,
it's just I prefer LoF version and I believe it can be accomplished here with all of you gurus.
I know basic Hex editor knowledge but sadly I don't know how to replace BGE music with LoF version

hopefully I can get some reply, or even better such as positive response !!
Long live Brigandine !

Oh God ! Thank God !!! BIG THANKS to HwitVlf !!

HwitVlf's tutorial called PSX hacking info 1.1
is very helpful indeed
I managed to find various codes that I want many years ago!! 
brand new code
fresh from oven 

and now I want to share it !

Every summon always get +5 all stats (by lubronbrons)
800D2958 0005
800D295A 2202
800D295C 0000
800D295E 0000
note : you can change 0005 to any number to suit your need

[lubronbrons]

Hi guys !

as usual ... I want to share another of my hard work,

Always get best potential HP++ when Lv up, including enemies (by lubronbrons)
8003597C 0001
8003597E 9082

Always get best potential MP++ when Lv up, including enemies (by lubronbrons)
800359D0 0001
800359D2 9083
300359EE 0083

note : hopefully later I can crack best potential for STR INT AGI RunePow too ... because this is very hard for my puny brain

Better Random Generator Number /RNG (by lubronbrons)
C209DC9C 0001
800A67FC 0000
note : we all know that Brigandine have semi-persistent random generator number,
with this code you'll get better gameplay for sure.
Now the random generator number become totally unpredictable unlike before

[lubronbrons]

OK Done !!!!
Finally !! 

I believe this is final batch for brand New codes that I want since long ago,
let me share it 

Always get best potential Rune++ when Lv up, including enemies (by lubronbrons)

80035B32 2410

Always get best potential STR++ INT++ AGI++ when Lv up, including enemies (by lubronbrons)

300A63D8 0002
D00A6924 0003
300A63D8 0000
note : this auto difficulty modifier is for better gameplay (IMHO)

Thank you for all  the translation effort for this game :) One of  my fave.

To samisc or whomever has a copy of samisc's patch tweak, kindly upload please :). I would like to try it out. Thank you.

@chrisotaku
The patch is in the first post of this thread, you can download it by clicking attachment in the bottom most of first post
but I don't know what that patch is because I can't found its readme anywhere, I even googling it but still no readme for that patch

Hey I want to say thanks for all the hard work and putting up the codes guys!

I've gotten into modding this beautiful game as well.

Better Random Generator Number /RNG (by lubronbrons)
C209DC9C 0001
800A67FC 0000
note : we all know that Brigandine have semi-persistent random generator number,
with this code you'll get better gameplay for sure.
Now the random generator number become totally unpredictable unlike before

I would love to fix the random number generator as well.  Can you explain to me how you changed it? Like did you change variance of something or did you just make the percentages displayed more accurate? Will the predictions give accurate percentages now?

Thanks a a lot again!

first of all, I'm just a mere newcomer in this forum that want to contribute. also I am not native english,
So please pardon me if I can't give you an adequate answers

I managed to find RNG address by pure luck when I did debugging & crawling for maximum stats potential for every level up,
this is several tips that I can give to you regarding it :

- there is SO MANY function in brigandine system that call function jal 0x0001fd94 (this 1fd94 is function to generate one random number for brigandine system to use)
you would love to fix the RNG right ??
I believe this is your answer. If you familiar with assembly code, you can change its algorithm by yourself
at first I don't know assembly coding at all
if you don't know assembly too. I suggest you use tutorial from HwitVlf in this link and learn how to do it ---> http://www.swordofmoonlight.com/bbs/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=875.0;attach=2616
after I follow and learn HwitVlf tutorial,
now I can write new function from scratch. the code about 'Always get best potential STR++ INT++ AGI++ when Lv up'
is the prove of that  because I know a thing or two about programming, I wrote the STR INT AGI calculation function from scratch with simple conditioning. so we can always get best STR INT AGI every level up (including enemies)

- how did I change the RNG with that code? the method is pretty blunt
I used comparative search method to find any numbers that always change
numbers that always change means = set of numbers that never same value each frame
I know that RNG in address 800A67FC will only changed when function jal 0x0001fd94 is called and I don't like that
so my solution is very crude,
by force address A67FC (RNG address) with address 9DC9C (contain number that always change every frame)
this is my answer for your question. Neither I use any complicated method to determine percentage calculation nor make some function to make accurate percentages
simply I just make brigandine RNG totally random ... since brigandine is relying address A67FC so much.
by default address A67FC is just static 1 byte number that only changed, when function jal 0x0001fd94 is called by system

- C209DC9C 0001 ---> let's study this line of code
the format is like this
C2XXXXXX YYYY
80ZZZZZZ 0000
Copy's YYYY bytes from location XXXXXX to location ZZZZZZ.
in our case...
copy 1 byte from location 9DC9C to location A67FC
that's it !
that's how I fix the brigandine RNG for better good

Thanks so much lubronbrons! I am familiar with assembly since i am studying programming. Funnily enough I learned working with similar registers. I was wondering what methods you used and as well and you explained it perfectly clear to me. It helps a lot!

I can take it from here i was just wondering specifically what function you used and things like that.

You answered everything I needed to know. Especially the 1fd94  hex and jal function. Also your English is very good!

Thanks again mate <3.
