is very good, I'm so much time watching this project, I can not wait to test this amazing mod, I have a question, when launched, it will be complete with all the chapters or only the first chapter?

Durbs is correct. For anyone following this for a while I also apologize for the delays but just know we are still doing work to make it as perfect as possible, I understand that this has caused alot of delay from the original ETA, but when you finally get to play it, you will understand why. Everything that is being fixed is for the better.

And thank you for your interest. Keep checking back, we will have more info soon.

No problem! If you've got any other questions about eventing I will be happy to answer them

I see your issue. In the attack.out setup for 000. You have "After Event Do: 01" It should be 00. I've no idea what 01 does,
but it should fix your problem since everything else looks fine to me.

Very sorry CONMAN, I didnt notice your post until now

there has to be an issue with your attack.out. You must make sure you are importing the right one. Now, if you did follow my tutorial
you must when placing the 2nd and 3rd units, make sure to also check the "Always present" box.

Is the FFTPatcher correctly saving? (saying it was successful and all that?)
If so,

Can you post screenshots of your attack.out setup for me please?

Also if it's not to much trouble, can you paste.bin me your event?

At the very least you need to make sure you are loading from a savegame. Save state will not work for this.

If this doesn't solve it can you make a screenshot of your ENTD in Murond Temple?
Despite the fact that the ENTD names were fixed, some that were previously correct in FFTP are now not depending on what version you are using. (and vice versa between the versions)
The only sure-fire way to find the correct ENTD is to find which event the ENTD is linked to in the Attack.out GUI

so are you saying that i can run around the ENTIRE game as odessa or ted without glitch? because as i recall, if you change maps you get glitchy.

(I thought I wrote this already O.o, oh well)

If you watch the video that MasterGrand made here:


It does show him running around both Gregminster and Rockland, as well as a few battles, in all of which he is Odessa.

MasterGrand, I wanted to ask you before, did you actually replace Tir McDohl with Odessa? Or is it a Odessa sprite over the Tir McDohl sprite?

Interesting idea, Qumon, but I'm not sure that would be easily implemented. In FFTPatcher, the Charge abilities have their own format, different from other abilities.

*Cough* Existing ASM *Cough*

Well I suppose I'm going to be a Barb, so you can go ahead and update your post Eternal

I don't think you'd have to change any event chars by implementing any of the above mentioned by MikeMitchi.

Correct, there are no EVTCHR's for Samurai, Ninja or Mime. Honestly most EVTCHR for generic units are for Knights

I would prefer to b a Necro as well, but i wudnt mind playing as a barbarian

Modifying the special event animations is very important. Adding special sprites in is cool but having all of your cut scenes bug out kills the games level of immersion and breaks the forth wall.

It depends what is replaced, there is only a handful of events that even HAVE EVTCHR for Generic Unit's. Most are for Special/Main characters. So honestly it really doesn't kill
ALL the cutscenes unless he replaces all the main chars as well, and judging by the name of this thread that doesn't seem to be the case. But yes. It should be easy enough to fix.

I may be up for this

Normally for me around 4pm to 10pm AZ Mountain Time Monday thru Friday.
Weekends are whenever I guess

awwww, there was arguing and i missed it?

Only so long as the artist performing the changes will also perform artwork on the special animations of characters, that cause all the color palette glitches during cinemas, would I ever incorporate new sprites into an old game.  You know, like when you change the Knight graphics and during the Sand Rat Cellar battle, two of the sprites regress to original artwork and look like animated shit?  I saw enough of that in Celdia's Complete Patch and others to seriously reconsider playing them through.  We still have to deal with the Balmafula/Onion Knight glitch effect during several cinemas featuring her.

These are EVTCHR and I already told Dome that once I finish with Jot5 Chapter 1, I will remove and work around using EVTCHR's for generics in events to stop this issue in FFT+

Woahhh, lots of posts today, Great job Mike. I've also sent you a PM, and given you access to (CENCORED) hahaha
look forward to hearing from you, and thanks for the compliments about the events  it's always great
to hear that all our hard work is appreciated.

Just saw the male Geomancer. I like it a lot, very nice job! Keep it up

"We" should do something while Cheetah is busy.

While I'm not officially part of any team for this project I could definitely make the opening event if someone could set in stone the details of it.

The problem is, i dunno how i would explain it any easier. In my tutorial, there are 2 videos which show you step by step and the guide itself is also step by step.

Questions: 1) Do i have to copy everything in the PSX events.txt to event.txt?

No, you use the single events found in EasyVent

               2) The topic says to erase the line "Text(x000008F9)" in the beggining of the event, do i have to erase all of them of all events?

Yes

Quote from: badstapp on June 01, 2012, 02:06:11 pm
               3) This line is of the first event "//| Event Script x002 | Event Offset: x004000 | Text offset: x0048F9 |", in the example the text offset of him is different of mine, and i didn't changed nothing yet, what is that suppose to mean? (the topic is: Text offset: x0041C5)

Text offset is where your text is writte to, we remove this so that you can change text and how many there is and things like that, remove it and when you compile it will write the correct offset for you in the TEST.evt

               4) When i run the Compiler (without changing anything, only paste the psx events.txt into the event.txt) it gives me an error after compiling: http://imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img842/1300/errorhs.jpg, i import ATTACK.out and test.evt back in the iso, nothing happens, changing or not the texts inside the event.txt

You don't touch the PSXEvents.txt, that included all the events in one file. You want to download EasyVent and use it instead.

               5) Do i need the ATTACK.OUT and attack out editor if i just want to change a bit the texts?

if you are only changing text in the events, then no.

So instead of looking at the locked topic, why not look at the very first thread in the tutorials section, I wrote it, so i know it isn't locked..
I explain all the questions you ask in section 1 of my tutorial.

Also, this question belongs in help, not tutorials.
