New spells...

[Zozma]

thats the problem right now, we dont have a way to open the image, change it and save it back in right now....

all we REALLY have access to is the color palette of the spell

[Sen]

Are there any effect files from psp like skills of DarkKnight?

[Zozma]

the effects from the psp are actually borrowed from other skills.
all of them are.

next time u play it look closely.
night sword and dark sword are obvious of course
but then theres the one that looks exactly like beowulf's "Shock!"
the next one looks like "Earth slash" but its range is a cone like holy breath
and then the other one is actually the effect for "Koutetsu"

they did the same thing i did as well by removing two versions of "small bomb" and placing other skills like those over them.
notice that in the psx version a blue bom will have blue small bombs
but in the psp version it will have red small bombs because there is only one version of that skill on the psp..

for the two other small bombs i created two more sword skills for the dark knight.

Dark Wave - looks like dark whisper hope to make a formula like a much stronger version of cecil from ff4's dark wave.

Dusk Blade - its like a long range wish... well he can steal hp and then use it to heal.. how sweet....

[Sen]

by the way what're the names of those skills that corresponds to those effects? and I havn't played the psp version yet.

[Vanya]

As for editing, if the graphics can be ripped then we're already half way to being able to edit them. All that needs to be done if figure out how to reinsert them. According to the site they used PSicture to get the images.

[Zozma]

okay ps picture im familiar with that program, but it cant save as the same file type can it....? perhaps someone could look at that program and add a few things....

[Sen]

Have you tried making a cone shaped skills because I tried to copy Abyssal Blade of Dark Knight for psx but then it turned out like Earth Slash?

[Vanya]

Try comparing Abyssal Blade with all the other cone attacks and see what they have in common that your version doesn't. If you find nothing special, then the effect might be one of those things that lay undiscovered as of yet.

[Sen]

hmm.. what other skills that have cone attacks?

I only know Holy Breath/Bracelet but it is doesn't came in front of you.

for adding magic spells teleport 3 sen and return must be replaced for other element spells.

[Zozma]

yeah but if you change those gfx for send and return theleport then any time altima moves it will look like whatever you changed it to.

sure you could use the effect as a skill as well however it probably wont display any numerical or status damages properly. it would be a neat idea if one could create a spell that lets you teleport another character to a different panel tho.....

also i dont know of any other move that has a cone shape there might be more too it than just some formula like an unknown box? but i just don't see it when i look in the editor...

[Vanya]

EDIT: I AM ON CRACK! I WAS THINKING OF TACTICS OGRE.!

[Zozma]

but are those really cone? i think they are actually more like earth slash or holy explosion with less range

[Xifanie]

I suppose this was changed in the PSP version.

[Vanya]

I'm going to check to make sure. If I'm on crack, I'll correct and say that I was thinking of Tactics Ogre.

[Zozma]

"Toad2" 's effect is perfect for BIOJA (BIO4)

[Vanya]

Does anyone have a suggestion for an effect for my warcry skill?

Warcry
Range - 0
Verticle - 4
Effect - 2

+2 to bravery to self AND all allies.

I've tried the Scream effect and the talk skill effects, but they only animate on the unit with the highest unit number instead of each unit.

[Zozma]

make it look like "Scream" or "Battle Song" ?
or gather power would be good too if it were red or something right?

stigma sound good, but it should be red....

[Lydyn]

Yeah, any skill like scream, or yell, or the talk skills that normal only works on one enemy will usually never display right when placed on a skill that affects multiple targets. Battle Song is a good suggestion... I suppose you can try Berserk, though that may not work either... maybe try one of the Draw Out effects? Stigma Magic would work too, in my opinion.

[Vanya]

Tried those, they don't work right. But, thanks. Any others?

[Zozma]

use the scropio zodiac stone flash, if it has a 0 range it should be centered on the caster. then you could just say the  rays hit the other units around? lol

i changed "sudden cry" into a dance that drains hp from every enemy on the map :O
