Alright guys. I've talked to Alucard and Arch, and awaiting a response from Emitai about this. Alucard doesn't want to work on this, and honestly I don't blame him since he was kinda pressured into it.

I'm going to be heading up the Breath of Fire III: Dragon Trial project.

Last night shortly after I made the new naming thread, I decided to go parse the hex of BoF3. Within seven or so hours, I learned almost everything I needed -- keeping in mind that I've never done this sort of thing before.

This is what I know so far:

Item Descriptions (In Battle, Out of Battle, and in the Shop Screen; three different locations)
Faeries
Options Menu (Not a big deal)
All data for game calculations (items, skills, equipment)
Level up data
Areas
Dialogue
Enemies

This is what I don't know:

~~Dragon Genes~~
~~Skill IDs~~
How to create new skills and equipment without changing others (this I imagine relies on pointers, which I don't know how to do yet, but is quite possible. This game has a ton of blank space; 94 of the 200 areas in the game are nothing but padding.)

I've also gotten some offered assistance from BTB (and Arch) as well, and their experience is much appreciated.

Let's do this, guys.

Probably, once I find out where they're located. Honestly, everything I'll be editing isn't spread out all that much which is a good thing. I'm at work right now though so I can't do any of the checking until I get home (about ~3-4 hours).

Edit: And thanks you guys for the support here. I've got not as much time as I used to, but I should be able to allocate some time to this in the future (meaning, after Monday, because the sales push ends on Monday).

Edit 2: I'd like to ask you guys a question, especially any of you who frequent the GFAQs boards: Does anyone know if second_advent is still active there? I'm pretty sure he knows BoF3's code inside and out, and he could probably answer any questions I have about the game's code itself.

I can contact him through it, but I was just curious if anyone might know if I'd be banging my head against the wall by doing so or not.

Good shit. I should be able to contact him then, awesome.

FTR guys, while I do know where enemies (their stats, and their AI) are stored, I'm unsure how to change around the area they're in, and unsure exactly which byte is which stat, but this is something easily figured out through testing.

The same for the level up data, only I know a bit more: I know which offset it begins at, I know how many bytes of data each level is, and I know that Ryu is listed first. :sir:
