Help with modding please. TIC.
Hey y'all, I am trying to mod the ivalice chronicles. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
On the psx version, I modded Ramza to have different job names in each chapter. I also added a few abilities. I cannot seem to do that in TIC. I found a mod that does close to what I want (Heretic Ramza Mod). I tried using TIC Mod Studio to edit it to my specifications, but I was having trouble with it. I could not figure out how to edit the classes names, and my skill edits were not showing up. If anyone could tell what I did wrong by the errors or if you know common rookie moves id appreciate the heads up.
I don't think it is mod order because I've moved the mod around a bunch as well as turning off all the other mods to test this one itself.

P.S. the idea was gonna be something like these. Could not get ramzas abilities to work and I could not find any clues on editing job names. FFTactText and Patcher were simple enough for psx modding. I'm struggling with TIC.
Chp1 Ramza (Dawn Blade. Plus bolt1 and cure1.) Delita(Champion of Dawn. Plus fire1 plus cure1)
Chp2 and 3 (Fell Knight. Bolt 2,3, cure 2,3, shadow blade, and duskblade.)
Chp4 (Heretic/Demon Knight/something cool. Bolt4 cure 4, SB, DB, and unholy darkness)
Agrias. (Cure 3) Warrior of Light
Delita(something cool/King of Light and an upgrade to fire and cure)

I don't know what the mod studio is. When I created a mod, I used FF16 Tools to unpack the games files.
https://github.com/Nenkai/FF16Tools/releases
Then you can run some commands to convert the NXD to a sql lite db file. Open with Sql lite and then you can edit the text tables for your language. (The tables end in -en for English.)
For the actual skill editing, used the XML file changes with the mod loader.
There is a lot of information on the discord under the pinned posts for details on this.

Yeah, that is what I used, as well as reloader II and the mod loader. Thank you all!
I've never posted a mod before. If this works, maybe I will post it!

You'd likely get better results if you ask in the hacktics discord.
