FF6 Map Data question

[sweetkool_ind93]

Has anybody found a way to squeeze more map data into FF6? I'm working on my own hack, but I can't find/identify the map data, worse yet, try to expand it. Heck, I can't even find the text data! Can anybody help me with this?

If you're talking about adding in additional maps, no it's basically impossible. I made a map editor, that allows you to edit existing maps and save them to wherever you'd like in the rom, but to add actually add in map data you'd have to create new pointer for the map data, properties, events, NPCs, entrance triggers, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Some of those I don't think you even can change without changing the way the game reads the pointers which is well beyond me. Just use an existing map that you don't care about.

Meaning like expand the world map already in the game/adding in more playable characters (like 60, i want to put characters in from other FFs).
Plus changing the music data to make my own music.
It's all in my new hack. I haven't named it yet.

Oh, by the way, what sounds good for a name?

1. FF3 : The SweetKool Hack
2. FF3 : My Screwed Up Edition
3. Final Fantasy Ultimate (this is the one i'm leaning towards, due to the other FF characters if I can put 'em in)
4. FF Project 3
5. Final Farts: The Spoof (if it becomes a spoof)

Expanding the world map isn't possible, editing it is, but expanding it isn't. Adding in a bunch of additional characters I don't think is possible either. Editing the music is, someone was working on it and making a lot of progess, but I don't remeber who. Your best bet for a really complete hack is to rewrite rather than expand the game. It's much easier and can be done mostly with a hex editor as opposed to ASM.
