Please help me, whenever i try to patch an already patched iso with fftpatcher all units disapear from cutscenes and the battlefield leaving only a shadow in the ground. Also i edited some unit names with fftactext but i doubt that is the problem. If anyone can help me i would be very apreciated , in america.
-Wait a minute, did you just summon a bunch of monsters in one turn?
-Yes, so?
-That is against the rules isn't it?

What sprites did you change in Shishi or ENTD? you are calling a palette or sprite (more likely a Palette) that doesn't exist

I just edited the starting units on magic city gariland because i wanted to begin with a dark and onion knight in fft 1.3 . And the "in america" i was talking is bandit keith from ygotas.

So you're patching an already modded ISO? Did you make sure to say open patched ISO at the start instead of make new patch? Because that could mess up a bunch of things. Did the patch work correctly before you tried doing this? If not, it could be a dirty ISO file.

What Elric is saying is it might be possible that you're not pointing to the correct sprite or palette.

1. Open up Patcher, to the Entd.

2.  Look for "Sprite Set" which should be the first thing you see if you highlight the proper character.  The hex referring to it is offset by 1 from Shishi, but the character name listed on the slot should be the same as in Shishi.  Make sure that is pointed to the correct sprite slot that you had edited.

3.  Look for "Palette" which is under the Brave/Faith entries.  This refers to the page of the palette swap that you need.  Iirc that particular sprite only has one palette swap, in which case you want to set this to "0".  If you made additional swaps and you want to use the other ones, pick the number that refers to what you need.

First, do not double (or in this case, triple post)

Second, nothing we do here is fast, if you are on a limited time, then what we do here may not be for you...

And yes, as I said, you either replaced the sprites for those units or removed them, or you switched the palette in the ENTD to a palette that does not exist in the spritesheet you are using.
