How can I change the spells available in the lore menu?

How about the magic menu?

The FF3usME editor has the necessary features.

Click characters, the Blitz, SwordTech and Lores for Lore editing. You can also edit Terra and Celes' auto-learned spells here.

For magic, it's under SPL. It's all quite self-explanatory.

I know, but i mean choosing what spells show up in the magic list.

Say if i wanted to change stone to, hyperdrive or flare star?

On that subject, wasn't someone making an event editor?

Lore learning is a subject that nobody has managed to take proper care of yet, so there's really only one way: change everything about the spell you want to replace (Stone, for instance) into that of the spell you want to learn (Hyperdrive) and vice versa. Goes beyond what these editors can do for you, but a hex editor should be the only other thing you need.

Silverlance was working on an event editor, that's right.

Crap, and w00t.

I figured I could change a pointer or something.

And to silverlance: Good luck. I'm not the only one looking forward to it!

Actually, I quit the rom hacking scene around new year's; the main reason was because I simply didn't have the time to do it anymore and had other projects I was more interest in. Also, I was losing faith rapidly in the ROM hacking community; far too many members are young teens who think they're better than everyone else because they can use a program someone else wrote to change every instance of "sword" in a game to "log." The good folks at Mnrogar's are possibly among the last real ROM hackers nowadays.

Either way, there's more than enough documentation out there to edit just about everything. I had mostly complete docs on animation scripts and town/dungeon maps, though various issues with getting the 10 meg rar to someone for hosting somewhat stemmed the distribution of my notes. Regardless, it shouldn't take too long to figure out how to edit most events if you have basic familiarity with a hex editor, and a copy of Yousei's notes (possibly the best documentation on FF3e out there.)

You could change lores by "simply" switching the entries in the spell list (ie, swap Fallen One and Roulette for instance) like Djibriel said. Don't forget to edit enemies so they don't cast Roulette-which-is-now-Fallen-One and vice-versa, too! Giving Strago a different lore list is alos possible but requires some sketchy assembly hacks unless the spells are in a continuous block (ie, if you just want to replace Roulette by Fallen One, you'll have to add a special case in the code so that, instead of (making up numbers) isALore = Spell > 50 && Spell < 100, you'd be checking isALore = Spell != 85 && ((Spell > 50 && Spell < 100) || Spell == 115). If that makes sense. Believe me, adding that in assembly isn't too bad, but finding space to expand functions and not forgetting anyplace in the code WILL be an unecessary hassle.)
