I can't see hidden items or if i could speak with the people. nothing
can you help me to "repair" the problem? in my "memoria.log" is no error.

This was fixed with the latest mod version, so try updating.

Thank you very much for the two updates! ^^ How on earth did you get the timing for Regen/Poison and death/petrify counters fixed? I switched Battle Mode to Fast (Skip waiting) temporarily in the previous version, since Regen did nothing, but now I can switch back to the turn-based mode. Thanks again!

Has something become broken with the latest version? The "here (hand)", "!" and "cards" cursors, which hover above Zidane's head, mess up when you go to another screen. They either disappear completely, or show up at the wrong place. I deleted the entire x64 folder and verified the game files, and the problem was solved. Then I installed Memoria again, but the problem reappeared right away. Restoring the game's original Assembly-CSharp.dll file (from Assembly-CSharp.bak) fixed the problem again, but that prevents Memoria from working since the game isn't using Memoria's Assembly-CSharp.dll file.

Just out of curiosity, which battle mode do you guys usually use: the original, the one with the fast ATB charging or the turn-based one?

Any update on this one yet? If I remember correctly, Trance works that way too, so if you delay a tranced character's turn with LT, s/he can stay in trance indefinitely.

I figure the algorithm should work in a way like this:
Setup: For simplicity, let's say you only have Zidane and Garnet in your party. Assume Garnet has a turn, but nobody needs healing. Zidane would be next, as he's 1/4 ATB bars away from getting a turn. He's ready to attack an enemy who will counter attacks, so Garnet will likely have to heal Zidane after his turn. Garnet is in Trance and has Regen and Haste. Between each phase, an enemy may attack if it's their turn.
1. Garnet's turn, you press LT.
2. Everyone's ATB gauge goes up, until Zidane's ATB bar is full. Zidane gets a turn.
3. Garnet's "clock" also goes 1/4 ATB bars ahead (or more if Haste has an effect there), so if Regen is supposed to heal her, it does so now, and if her trance bar is supposed to deplete a bit, it does so now.
4. You press Y to move control from Garnet to Zidane.
5. Zidane attacks an enemy with a physical attack. Zidane's ATB bar is depleted.
6. The enemy counters by hitting Zidane.
7. Garnet heals Zidane. Her ATB bar is depleted. If Regen is supposed to heal her, it does so now, and if her trance bar is supposed to deplete a bit, it does so now.
8. Due to Haste, Garnet gets her turn before Zidane. Her ATB bar is full. If Regen is supposed to heal her, it does so now, and if her trance bar is supposed to deplete a bit, it does so now. Go back to #1.

A minor bug I detected with the turn-based system: if you delay a character's turn with LT, s/he isn't affected by Regen, Poison or Doom/Petrify counters until taking action.

No offence, but how on earth can you do programming with Hades Workshop, but you don't know how to download a zip file and install its contents? :D Anyway, see my instructions here, but with the following changes:

In 4), extract all files inside the zip to C:\Memoria\. Use your computer's file explorer to check that you have a file called Memoria.Patcher.exe in the folder called C:\Memoria.

5) Press Windows button + R, or however you get a Run prompt (do a Google search for Windows run command if you can't find it). In the field with "Open:" type cmd and press Enter. A command prompt will appear. Go there, and do the following:
* type c: and press Enter
* type cd\ and press Enter
* type cd Memoria and press Enter
* type the following exactly this way:
Memoria.Patcher.exe "A:\Steam\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX"
and press Enter
* follow the instructions

I think what might have caused the game to bug out is that I started a new game with Fast battle speed, fought the very first battle against Baku, and then changed it to Default before I faught him again on stage. Not really sure what happened but it fixed with a new game so...

It could be just a random bug. Anyway, I'd recommend editing the ini files only when the game is not running, just to be sure.

The characters are supposed to have SFX instead of Steal during the stage play. The SFX skills are fake spells that deal 0 damage, but I still use them during the fight against Baku / King Leo, since it's all good stage drama and flashy effects. ^^

Here's the usual changes I do to Memoria.ini:

[Graphics]
BattleFPS=20
I think 30 makes the animations too fast, but the default 15 is too slow.

[Cheats]
I set every value to 1, except SpeedFactor = 5 (the default option). This won't activate the cheats automatically, but it gives you the option to use them, and I especially like having speedup, and maybe no encounters. Even if you never use the cheats, I don't see any harm in enabling the option to use them.

[Hacks]
Enabled = 1
BattleSpeed = 2
The other hacks keep their default values. For battle speed, Fast (value: 1) is alright, but I usually like to have my healer remain on standby (using the menu button to skip turns) in case someone needs to be healed. The fast charging only works if nobody has a turn ready, so there won't be any fast charging until I have my healer do something. I think the Turn-based system (value: 2) is great, though. It's essentially like FFX's CTB system. Unlike the Fast system, the Turn-based system lets you postpone a character's turn by pressing LT, which causes the next character or enemy to get a turn, while keeping the healer etc on standby.

No no, don't go to the GitHub, you won't need Unity, Visual Studio, Mono.Cecil and whatnot, they're only there if you want to work as a developer. The first post on this topic currently says:

"A new version is available: (05.06.2016)
Git: https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria
Build: yadi [dot] sk/d/FVB-1Qs3rJwnz"

You want the "build" link, not the "git" link. Here's some more detailed instructions:

1) type the following to your browser's address bar:
yadi[dot]sk/d/FVB-1Qs3rJwnz
replace [dot] with a dot, i.e. this: .
then press Enter. (I don't know why the URL isn't given here directly, but I'll respect the modder's wish not to give out a direct link.)

2) After pressing Enter, you're taken to a page with a downloadable file called Memoria.zip. Press "Download", and save it somewhere, for example, your Desktop.

3) Open the zip file with any program that can open it, such as WinZip, WinRAR, 7zip etc.

4) Extract all files inside the zip file somewhere, for example, create a folder called Memoria on your Desktop and extract all the files there.

5) Open the Memoria folder you just created, and double click on the file called Memoria.Patcher.exe. The mod will install itself to your Final Fantasy IX folder.

6) Run Final Fantasy IX, and then quit it. This will create a file called Memoria.ini inside the Final Fantasy IX folder.

7) Open Memoria.ini with WordPad, NotePad, Word or some other text editor. Edit the settings to whatever you like (I should write a more detailed explanation, but this post is already way too long), then save the edited file.

8) Run and enjoy your modded version of Final Fantasy IX.

If these instructions weren't clear enough to get the mod installed, I give up. :'D
