FF6ExPED
------------------------
version: 0.2 (Beta)
release date: 2016/04/08
author: madsiur
Platforms: x64, x86


Description
------------------------
This small editor allow to edit monster drops and stolen items. There is now 4 drops and 
possible items to steal per monster, with each a chance of dropping from 0/256 to 256/256. 
You can modify the universal chances of drop and steal. Assigning item 0xFF is same thing 
as assigning nothing, like in FF3usME.

All drop/steal chances added together must equal 256/256 or 100%. Drop lvl 4 is automatically 
ajusted. The original drops/steal items have been put in slot 1 and 2. Slot 3 and 4 have 
nothing by default.

Concerning the steal items, I did not modified the steal formula. Like in vanilla game, percentages
are taken into account when you get a successful steal, otherwise it's a failed steal attempt.
The editor code and table expansion work with Imzogelmo's Multi-Steal Fix or without it. However, 
chance to mess things up are good if you apply the patch (for v1.0) after doing the expansion with 
the editor. I have not tested this.

If you want only 3 drops/steal items, you need to put drop 1,2 or 3 at 0% and leave drop 4 as 
your third drop. The code is not made for total of first three drops to be beyond 0xFF (255).

You ROM must be expanded in order to use the editor. The editor does not expand the ROM. The
reason is that 0xC00 bytes is required for the new drop/steal table so it needs to go in expanded ROM.
There is also 0x100 bytes reserved for actual and future extra code. This must also go in expanded ROM.
