Fixing Sprite mistake (Cloud ac)

[reversebustersword]

The  Cloud (Advent Children) sprite http://ffhacktics.com/sprites.php  right arm is not attached to its body during walking animation. Is there a way to fix this?

User error... He's a TYPE 1 sprite, and you have him running as TYPE 2. Change the SHP/SEQ to TYPE 1 on both for him.

[reversebustersword]

Changing it to TYPE 1 didn't change anything. It still staying in TYPE 2 animation in the game. I also tried all the other SHP/SEQ options and nothing changed still. Do I have to pick different flags maybe? Flags 3 and 6 are checked right now.

[3lric]

Then you aren't using the right ISO. For that sprite he needs both SHP AND SEQ changed to TYPE 1.  They won't display TYPE 2 animations once you do that. That is the main difference with TYPE 2, because they have a wider body (usually robes) their arms are a bit further out.

If you look at the flags you will see people use 3 and 6. Don't change that.

I'm using Final Fantasy Tactics The War Of The Lions (Europe) PSP ISO. What ISO is the one I should use?


I think I figured out the problem. I was using a male geomancer as Cloud. And they're naturally type 2 bodies. So that's why changing types didn't change anything.

Thanks for all your help Elric

You need to change the type and then reimport the sprite. Just changing it in the dropdown and then going about your business doesn't do it.

[3lric]

Yeah it does That's not necessary.

Never worked that way for me. I wondered if that was just another one of those "haha PSP version sucks to edit" issues but the same thing seems to happen with the PSX version? I opened my Jot5, exported Ramza, and checked the difference with his animation by setting the dropbox to Type 2 - no change. Importing while still in Type 2 caused his arms to levitate to the side.

And then changing the menu back to Type 1 didn't fix his arms, either - like the first change, it took a reimport:



I'm not sure if the changes would be there in the game after using the dropdown menu even if Shishi doesn't show it, but I'm too lazy to check at this time of night.

[3lric]

Well I can tell you I've changed types on a lot and the sprites were never reimported to my master iso

[Jumza]

That's very strange nyzer, mine is the same as Elric's, ShiShi updates the sprite automatically with the options I selected. What version are you using? Maybe it's outdated.

[Nyzer]

It says it's 482 in the properties - "File version 1.0.0.482", and I'm pretty sure I just grabbed it from the .482 Patcher Suite at http://ffhacktics.com/wiki/FFTPatcher_Suite.

Something I'm noticing this morning is that the changed Type will appear properly if I look at the Frames, but not the Animation, unless I reimport.

[3lric]

Even that being the case, it shouldn't have any effect in game. That's a bug with Shishi

[Nyzer]

Interestingly I can't seem to change Ramza's type at all, even when I use a different sprite and Shishi shows the floating arms on the new one. But I know I was getting the floating arm issue in-game when it came to importing Red Mage sprites over Arithmetician...
