War of the Lions Hacking / Hacking Luso's Sprite?
April 10, 2016, 03:08:56 pm
Is there any known way to change his formation Sprite? The standard strategy doesn't work here, as his sprite is not located in the unit OR wildface bin. Is it just not possible right now?

TOTALLY worked. I was using the oldest version of Shishi lol. The new one is so much better... anyway, it works! Finally!

Thanks for your help guys.

Ah thanks so much for your fast replies.

I have indeed extracted the fftpack.bin with fftpatcher and gone into the "battle" folder and tried to edit the female samurai Sprite directly. I'm figuring that's what is causing the game to crash for whatever reason, because when I use the unedited WOTL iso which only has the formation screen Sprite, it works just fine.

It sounds like I probably have an old version of Shishi, which is something I've suspected from the beginning... I'll give that a try and mess around with it for a while.

If I pull the Sprite file off of this website and put that into Shishi and export to the "battle" folder and overwrite the old Sprite should that be all there is to it?

Hopefully this is the correct place to ask this question. I figured because it's specific to WOTL and has to do with Sprites, which is pretty much hacking, then I could ask here!

I'll keep it simple for now and if someone needs me to elaborate, I can.

As the topic suggests, I'm simply trying to edit the generic female samurai sprite of the psp Final Fantasy Tactics remake. I am playing through the ppsspp emulator (an older version), and the game works 98 percent perfect on it's own. I've spent the last two days trying to follow the guides which are now a couple years old, and managed to get the formation screen and portrait loaded in and changed. However, I can't get the battle sprite to come through.

As of right now I've been extracting the fftpack.bin and editing the "SAMU_W.BIN" file inside the "BATTLE" folder of the fftpack.bin via graphics gale. When I pull up this file I've re colored and edited, through Shishi, it comes up as the edited sprite just as I want it. So I know the edited file is indeed in the iso. However once I put it all back together and run the iso, it makes it as far as the title screen and turns black. If I hit any buttons it crashes. I've re done the entire process a few times now to make sure there wasn't any mistakes and I get the same result. Anyone think they know what the problem might be?

Thanks a ton. I'm really determined to get this to work.
