Okay, a few words before we begin.  Why am I including this, and why 
here?  This is a little guide to memory, binary, hexidecimal, and how and why 
hacking codes work.

this information is probably covered in a much more professional manner 
in your local mathematics textbook and computer science course.  Of course, 
since a lot of gameplayers are in high-school, they may not have a decent 
computer science department.  Not to fret.

et's start by talking about numbers.  Most of us are familiar with this 
subject, but let's review a little, shall we?  Numbers are made up of 
numerals (the representations of numbers, which in the English alphabet are 
written as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.  We could have just as well used 
different smiley faces, pictures of trees, or letters.)  While there is no 
problem when writing a number from 0 to 9, what happens when we want to write 
a 10?  Well, as you can see, we use the concept of digits.  The '1' in the 
number '10' is in the tens place.  In the number '42,375', the number 2 is in 
the thousands place, and so on.

You of course know this, otherwise ... well, you know all this(unless your leb or something).  But what 
we really mean when we write '42,375' is:

    "I want the number whose value equals 4 X 10,000 + 2 X 1,000 + 3 x 100 + 
7 x 10 + 5 x 1."  10 is, of course, 10 to the first power; 100 is 10 to the 
second power; 1000 is 10 to the third power, and so on and so forth.

    This system of representing numbers is known as decimal.  (From the Greek 
for 10.)  But what if we don't want to use decimal?

    To a computer, decimal is far to hard and inefficient.  Computers 
understand two basic things: On (electrons flowing) and Off (electrons not 
flowing).  If On = 1 and Off = 0, we can still represent any number we like.  
This is known as binary.  So, we can write '27' in binary as 11011.  (That's 
1 x 16 + 1 x 8 + 0 x 4 + 1 x 2 + 1 x 1.)  16 is 2 to fourth power, 8 is 2 to 
the third power, etc. etc.

    Hopefully, you understand binary now.  Hexidecimal is similar, except 
instead of using 10 or 2 as a base, we use 16.  In order to represent 10, 11, 
12, 13, 14, and 15 in a single symbol, we use A, B, C, D, E, and F 
respectively.  (16 in hexidecimal is, of course, 10.)  So 100 in decimal is 6 
x 16 + 4 or 64 in hexidecimal.

    Why even bother with hexidecimal?  Ahh ... well, historically, we group 8 
binary switches into a single unit known as a byte.  (10011011, for example.)  
Therefore, a byte can store values from 255 (1111111) to 0 (00000000).  It so 
happens that 255 is equivalent to FF in hexidecimal.  See where we're going 
with this?

    A two-digit hexidecimal value, then, can represent all the values that a 
byte can.  This is why we use hexidecimal extensively in computers.

    Okay, so now we know about hexidecimal and why we use it in computers.  
Memory addresses are written in hexidecimal.  Why?  Well, a computer needs to 
be able to manipulate that address and store it.  As a number.  How does a 
computer store numbers?  (If you said in binary, you are right.)  What's the 
way we write binary numbers?  (If you said in hexidecimal, you are again 
right.)

Now, we come to the interesting part or the part that you should only care about !!!.  How is data stored in memory?  
(Not physically, but conceptually.)  Well, we store all sorts of things in a 
game's memory.  If we want to store a number, we usually store it in a single 
byte (if it runs from 0-255), or 2 bytes (0-65535) or 4 bytes (basically 
anything bigger, up to 4,294,967,295.)  This is different if you want to 
store potentially negative values (and I won't get into it, we rarely run 
into negative numbers in game memory.)  Things like HP, EN, how many lives 
you have left, the number of shots in that rifle, etc. are usually stored in 
this manner.

We could also store it, instead of in true hexidecimal, as though it were 
decimal (since hexidecimal includes 0-9.  I believe this is referred to as 
Binary Coded Decimal.)  This tends to waste space (you ignore the power of A-
F), but sometimes this is done in games.  Not so much nowadays, though.  So, 
if I stored 142 in 2-bytes, in the 'value' I'm really storing is 1 in the 
first of those two bytes, and the decimal value of 66 in the second.  (I omit 
a discussion of byte-ordering until another time, simply because there are 
two different ways to store a multi-byte number.  Don't worry about it for 
the present.)

   We can also store a value that corresponds to something else (like a 
pilot's background data.)  If information is kept like this, the game knows 
(it's built-in) what, say, a 12 stands for.  We have to plug in values to 
figure out what each value stands for and make long lists.  Sometimes, in 
cases like these, a 0 is empty (doesn't correspond to something, like in 
Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis).  Sometimes (like in Super Robot Taisen A) it 
does stand for something (Pilot 0 is Lalah Sune.)

    Finally, we can use memory in a BINARY fashion.  Remember: FF is REALLY 
11111111.  Or 8 little switches in a row than can be ON or OFF.  So if we 
want to look at things that can be on or off (like the Emblem Toggle), we can 
cram 8 of those things into one byte, instead of using 8 bytes.  The 'Enable 
Bytes' are variations on this.  Basically, a 0 stands for Off, and anything 
else is On.  (The reason for this lies within the realm of assembly language, 
and will not be covered here.  Sufficed to say, the game has a way of quickly 
checking if something is on or off, and only 0 stands for off.)  This type of 
data, known as a bit field, is very commonly used for certain on-off 
purposes.

Now hopefully you can understnad what and how hex and binaries work if you don't too bad 
cause i can't bother explaining in more detail so suck ^^ :P sorry about that....
if you really couldn't understnad a word of that the examples below may help in your understanding of this.

Okay, this section introduces a different type of data system called a 
bit field.  (Thanks to Rob Coley for sending in the real name!)  What this 
means is, the computer looks at these bytes not as whole bytes, but as 8 bits 
in a row.  Each bit has a function, and can be on or off.

    What does this mean in practical terms?  This means you must compute the 
value you want on the fly!  (Since you can't enter cheats in binary for the 
most part.)

o calculate the value to place in a bit field byte, look up the 'to-add' 
values given.  Let's say you want to give a character the medals for Soldier, 
Ninja, Swordmaster, and Dragoon.  We add: +1, +2, +64, +128 = 195.  
Therefore, you would put 195 into the appropriate memory address.  See how 
that works?  People who understand binary should see why these values are the 
way they are immediately,"and yes i know that this is easy for you 22k people but its important".

+1 = Soldier
+2 = Ninja

+4 = Warlock (Male Only)
+8 = Witch (Female Only)
+16 = Priest
+32 = Dragon Tamer (Female Only)

1-02000cd0 i think its this basically the same as above just with a few parenthisis variations like skill tree's and sprites now i know i haven't done much for this game but i thought i might do a bit on psy items for gsun since its quite important cause sometimes even when you eguip the character with the skill they'll lose it after one battle if the item is not there so here are all the psy gems.

FINAL FANTASY TACTICS >> 

Final Fantasy tactics uses a different platform of game play to tactics ogre Its a @#!$!@##!$ more annoying because if you want to change the layout and numbering of the characters you have to count from the top the number of 00ff since the characters always start 0000 after the 00ff in the beginning, so say you want to change your ritz and babus around you propably have to take screen shots of both characters then retype them in their spaces and thus the pissy layout. Another problem with their layout is that it really gives hackers a hard time trying to figure out how to change names and basically i gave up on the names because you had to know the original code eg Ritz's codes is 12ad 0885 for the name part and there is no connection in those letters that would make you think that it's Ritz other then the fact that it starts with a R = 12 =18. 
Anyways enough with this blabbering here is the codes for the characters.

CHARACTER 1 02000000    

SPEED AFFECTED - EQUIPED ITEMS >> 02000150


JUMP AND MOVE(i think this is also for equiped items) >>  020000B0 

CHARACTER 2 020001A0

ITEM'S  >> NORMAL >> 02001940
        >> MSIC   >> 02001EE0

CLANS >> INFO NAME AND LEVEL TITLE >> 02002B0

MISSION ITEMS >> 02002bf0

MONSTERS CAUGHT >> 0200E60

Tactics Ogre Knights Of Lodis >> Biorythm Faq 

Your luck, unlike your fortune which is merely an indicator of your luck,
is a number from 0 to 100.  It is worked out slightly differently from
Fortune because this time, both Altitude and Amplitude are factored into the
number, rather than just giving you a different series of tables.

  The formula to work out luck is as follows.  First, we calculate the Luck
value like we did in the previous section, but with a few differences:

     First, work out what Day of the year it is.  Then...

     Day = (Day + Offset) Mod Period

     Luck = Day * 360 / Period


  We thus have a value from 0 to 360, which starts its period at 0.  Using
this revised Luck value, we perform the following calculation:

    Luck = [Altitude + Amplitude * Sin(Luck)]


  And this gives us the final Luck value.  Keep in mind that Sin is indeed
the triogmetric function (I did warn you in the forward that this was
maths-intensive), and uses degrees, not radians.  Also, the [] brackets
means that we take the integer portion of this number.  For example, [36.5]
is 36.


  As a small example, we shall again the Alphonse from the previous section.
As you may recall, it was Day 276 of the year, and Alphonse's Biorhythm
stats were Period 40, Offset 319, Altitude 50, Amplitude 10.

  Thus:

     Day = (Day + Offset) Mod Period
         = (276 +  319  ) Mod   40
         = 595 Mod 40
         = 35


  Then:

     Luck = (Day * 360 / Period)
          = ( 35 * 360 /   40  )
          = 315


  Finally:

     Luck = [Altitude + Amplitude * Sin(Luck)]
          = [   50    +     10    * Sin(315 )]
          = [   50    +     10    * -0.707106]
          = [   50    +       -7.07106       ]
          = [42.92894]
          = 42


Therefore, Assasin's current Luck is 42.

You may wonder what this Luck value affects.  One of the easiest things
to demonstrate Luck having an effect is in buried treasure.  A lot of the
buried treasure you find in the game is selected from three groups of random
lists, where the group you get depends on which treasure spot you've found.
However, these lists are further subdivided into three more groups, and the
group you get depends on your Luck.

  If your Luck is 40 or less, you get the 'bad' group.

  If your Luck is between 41 and 60 inclusive, you get the 'medium' group.

  If your Luck is 61 or more, you get the 'good' group.



  Returning to your Fortune, we can see that it is very much a *very* rough
approximation of your Luck.  Because of this, we shall not try to determine
what values of Luck goes with each Fortune, since any attempt to do so would
be misleading.
