Title: Help Me !!! I have problem with FFTactext !!!
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 01:19:00 pm
I can't change the skill name. If I change that, the job name will be missing or gone. and not that's only, every text in there will be error. like this :

Material Art <Change to> MA Save
Teleport      <Change to> (missing text)
Bladegraphs<Change to> Finger Guard


so... Please somebody help me... tell me how to change that.

Argh Tactext takes a long time to master so just wait for the next version which won't.

Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 02:22:25 pm
So I must wait the new version ? :( . I wish that is not long.

Melonhead was thinking about releasing it around now so it shouldn't be long.

why I can't find Miluda sprite ?
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on December 24, 2008, 02:34:38 pm
Miluda is just a female knight sprite. Nothing special unless you want the custom one from the downloads section of the site.
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 02:35:48 pm
so that is just a picture ?
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on December 24, 2008, 02:42:20 pm
Yup just a custom pic for her character other than that it's a knight sprite. (lqtm that rhymes)
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 02:49:15 pm
oh... I see, why I never know about it.
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on December 24, 2008, 02:53:12 pm
It's an easy mistake to make.
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 02:59:43 pm
yeah, maybe you right.
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 03:07:22 pm
oh...ya, Can we change the picture of Miluda ?
Title:
Post by: Zozma on December 24, 2008, 03:07:42 pm
its just an "attack.out" instruction that tells the game to Display a different portrait over that generic knight. (just like golgaros, gustave, and that special thief in dorter...)
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 03:13:19 pm
But, I just find "Unit names and Job names" in there.
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 03:35:11 pm
so, we can't change the picture ?
Title:
Post by: Zozma on December 24, 2008, 03:39:07 pm
yes but you have to edit attack.out
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 05:59:59 pm
The unit names or job names ? or both?
Title:
Post by: Zozma on December 24, 2008, 06:35:43 pm
what do u mean? whats that to do with the portrait? shes just a generic knight...
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 06:45:27 pm
I know, but you say "you have to edit attack.out".
Title:
Post by: Zozma on December 24, 2008, 06:46:17 pm
yes, but only to change the assigned portraits for that specific battle

if you want a version of miluda that has a sprite of her own, then you could either use the one i created, or make one. but you then need to import the sprite into another sprite thats already in the game. in order to give her a custom job and everything.

then you can change the job names with FFtactext

oh... I see. hey, must be I save in small.out too ? cuz, has two choose in there.
Title:
Post by: Zozma on December 24, 2008, 06:57:48 pm
its important to save everything that it asks you to.

however, if you save in World.bin it will probably mess up your shop and menu text.

that is why it is probably best to wait untill the newer version comes out.
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 07:02:54 pm
oh... shit! why I save in World.bin.  so FFTactext is a beta version ?
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on December 24, 2008, 07:11:56 pm
Not really a beta you just have to know what your doing to make it work correctly.
Title:
Post by: Zozma on December 24, 2008, 07:15:01 pm
yes but it makes life a hell of alot easier if IT knows what its doing for us instead rite? lol....
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 07:23:42 pm
Maybe I must be careful to use it. I don't want to wrong again.
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on December 24, 2008, 07:26:19 pm
It takes a lot of practice to use without problem so don't worry about it.
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 07:29:35 pm
yeah, you right. Maybe I need more practice.
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on December 24, 2008, 07:30:40 pm
That's the spirit!  I still don't know all the inconsistencies and I've been working with it for months now.
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 07:35:23 pm
ok, I hope we can find out.
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on December 24, 2008, 07:39:18 pm
I can tell you from experience once you find out how most of it works it gets easier to tell where you made your mistakes so just browse the forums and then ask again if you don't figure it out.
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 07:46:15 pm
Can you explain how to do that ?
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on December 24, 2008, 07:50:27 pm
Well we are in news but if you go to other ares people have made statements and finding of how to use Tactext........I feel like I'm being duped now.....
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 07:53:51 pm
so, You can't explain to me ?
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on December 24, 2008, 07:57:17 pm
It's hard to explain everything and even if I could in one sitting I have stuff to do as it's Christmas eve.
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 08:01:53 pm
its ok no problem, You don't need to explain it to me.
Title:
Post by: DarthPaul on December 24, 2008, 08:05:57 pm
Nothing against you It's just that the info exists on the forums already and I don't think it bears repeating.
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 08:14:04 pm
Very hard to find the forums like my topic.
Title:
Post by: Algus on December 24, 2008, 08:38:05 pm
I'll try to do that again, I wish this time will correct.
