Oh, it was just me not realizing that the code was dependent on "Battle off" being activated in the debug menu lol.

Something I noticed with your Replace Hard with Maniac code is that it seems to not include the +15 crit bonus for berserkers, snipers, and swordmasters on their stats. Unlikely related, but its address (801AB784) looked to still be on. The bonus was visibly added on other difficulties and with the Maniac Exp Fix 2.1 code as well. So I'm not sure if it's some display glitch where it hides the +15 but continues to remain in the calculations on maniac mode, or if the code is messing with another value to turn off the bonus? I also don't know if it was intentional XD

On another note, I've been trying to find the address that turns Fog of War on/off to no success so far. Do you happen to know where it could be?

It's intentional, the following lines in the "Replace Hard Difficulty With Maniac Difficulty" code disable the crit bonus for maniac mode only (the 0x801AB784 code disables it for all difficulties!):

Code: Select all

041F51DC 38600000
041F51E0 48000014
If you want to keep the crit bonus in maniac mode, just remove the lines from the code.

Awesome as always, Ralf!

I think that covers all the bases for maniac mode. In combination with your adjustments and replacing some in-game files with NTSC-J variants (to restore enemy numbers and shop stuff), people can have a customizable maniac mode playthrough alongside some nice QoL options! It's been a lot of fun playing the game again with these new additions!
Thanks again for all the help!
