OUTDATED -- Cheat Engine - NonInstaller Portable Edition
So you want to use Cheat Engine but don't want to install it? Maybe you play some MMOs and are afraid some overly-sensitive game launchers might permaban you JUST for having it installed?
That's NO PROBLEM! ^_^
The primary (awesome) developer behind Cheat Engine has created a no-install 'portable' version. Just download, extract it from the archive, and run the EXE file!
1 - Go to the official download page on www.cheatengine.org; please AVOID any 3rd party websites! You can also check their GitHub page, but the GitHub pre-compiled EXE version available for download DOES have the filthy 'InstallCore' crapware. Check out the InstallCore terms/privacy policy before bothering to use it.

FF12 Zodiac Age Modding Community
Update: The original modding server has shut down; I'm redirecting people to my own FreshGaming server with dedicated channels for Zodiac Age modding discussion & file attachments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the modding Discord server link: https://discord.gg/MPGWjgb
It is far easier to chat in there than the multiple disparate threads on a per-mod basis. The Nexus forums are also really minimalistic/bleh compared to Discord.
Discord is a voice & text chatting service that is free, easy to use, and very broadly compatible/accessible from nearly anywhere with internet access and a web browser (or smartphone).
You can run Discord via the downl... -
Seven-Zip (7z) Files Explained
Intro
So you downloaded a file from the internet with a .7z file extension. Maybe you don't know what this thing is; why does someone put 'unzip it' when it is not a typical .ZIP file?
Let Daedalus show you the way! ^_^
The 7-zip program is a file archiver with a high-compression ratio. When I asked Skopin to recompress their hefty texture files with 7-zip, the resulting .7z files were merely 10% of the size of the original! From ~550 MB to ~55 MB!
Instructions to extract .7z files
Presuming Windows OS (Linux-based OS users are generally able to figure things out):
1 - Download 7-zip from the official website. You can also get an officially-packed certificate-signed portable version from PortableApps.co... -
HowToUse DrakLab ModLoader - A Newbie Guide
Special Thanks to XULLuxolid for their clear & concise Mod Loader instructions for their mods
Preface
You want to start using some of these fancy FFXII (12) TZA (The Zodiac Age) mods but you have no idea how to do things?
Maybe the instructions are unclear?
Let Daedalus show you the way! ;)
The DrakLab Mod Loader is the preferred way to easily add and remove mods from your install without constantly having to copy/paste/replace the VBF file whenever you want to change things around without bugs.
Preparation
A - Install Final Fantasy XII - The Zodiac Age if you have not already done so. This guide presumes you installed it via Steam but if it is ever available elsewhere then it should work similarly.
B - To avo... -
FF12 License Board Editor Improvements
Just some quick bits that I feel improve the Zodiac Planner for Custom License Boards by VaanSkyPirate.
Both of these are pastebin links.
Old v1.x License Board Editor Color Scheme
Make a backup of the colors.json file first, then copy and paste to replace the existing content.
This just changes the color scheme to be close to what it was in the v1.x versions.
-Orange for Techniques
-Red for Quickenings
-Blue for Summons/Espers
-Brownish for Accessories
-White for Essentials
-Yellow for Gambits
License Board Renaming Scheme
Make a backup of your licenceinfo.txt file first, then copy and paste to replace the existing content.
This changes the names of the Licenses in the License Board Editor to be e...
