LoD Half Max HPDescription

Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)

Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.

This patch will halve the Maximum HP stat for all characters in half.

--------------------
Installation
--------------------
This patch targets a single file in Legend of Dragoon called "S_ITEM.OV_" for highest compatibility with other hacks.
It may or may not work and or conflict with other rom hacks that target the same file.


1. Rename each disc to “LODX_USA.bin” where X is the disc number and place them in the same folder.
2. Download the Windows 32-bit i386 version of CMD Pack from the link below
   and extract the folder to the same folder with the four discs.

3. Download the Windows i686 version of xdelta from the link below
   and extract it to the same folder with the four discs.
   https://github.com/jmacd/xdelta-gpl/releases/tag/v3.0.11
4. Copy and paste the commands below in Notepad and save it as ".bat" type.


@echo off
echo Extracting S_ITEM.OV_ from LOD1_USA.bin...
cmdpack-1.03-win32-i386\cdpatch -o -x LOD1_USA.bin -d halfhp \OVL\S_ITEM.OV_
mkdir halfhp\mod\ovl
echo Patching S_ITEM.OV_ file...
xdelta3-3.0.11-i686.exe -d -f -v -s halfhp\OVL\S_ITEM.OV_ halfhp\patch\halfhp.xdelta halfhp\mod\ovl\S_ITEM.OV_
echo Patching disc images...
cmdpack-1.03-win32-i386\cdpatch -v -i LOD1_USA.BIN -d halfhp\mod \OVL\S_ITEM.OV_
cmdpack-1.03-win32-i386\cdpatch -v -i LOD2_USA.BIN -d halfhp\mod \OVL\S_ITEM.OV_
cmdpack-1.03-win32-i386\cdpatch -v -i LOD3_USA.BIN -d halfhp\mod \OVL\S_ITEM.OV_
cmdpack-1.03-win32-i386\cdpatch -v -i LOD4_USA.BIN -d halfhp\mod \OVL\S_ITEM.OV_
echo Patch done~

5. Rename your disc images back to how they were originally or modify the .cue files to reflect the new change.
