Final Fantasy Hacktics

Durbs whats up man?

You should just be able to run the program and then select the image file in the top box and the patch file in the one below it?

Are you saying that PPF-O-Matic isn't even opening on your PC??

you need to go to view--> palette and edit one of those colors in the top row

I really don't even understand most of that but it sounds good when i read it XD
That's why you do all the number stuff


**Elric goes back to eventing**

That's good to hear Elric, also, if there are any significant changes in the story you must let me know as that may change a little the char's bios. I'll try to be faster on this.

And be sure to release the Adventures of Twin and Kage, i'm eager to see it XD

None of the changes will effect those, tho maybe who is in them.. i will send you a PM when i wakeup later today


And the new episode of the Adventures of Kage and Twin is completely written out, i just need to make it and ive been working on PW and Jot5 stuff lately XD
it will be out very soon tho, so now worries XD

My last post on this topic is to be prepared because Shishi is back!

problems with the Shishi sprite editor This dont open my Iso!! ><
its a old version ? .-.

Did you try it in the newest version of Shishi?
.478? i dunno what the one you are using is

you have a point elric and i did some more research, short charge only work for spells :I

Indeed. That is correct

ALSO

Just wanted everyone to know there have been and will be some Story re-writes, none of what you may have seen in the videos will change, tho rather extended or modified
to not only fix some plot holes but to also make the mod in general a bit more full and fun to play.

While the story obviously won't be canon to FFT we will be trying as hard as we can to add to the FFT story. So i guess this would be considered a Fractured followup to FFT?

Either way, with Raven on the team we are quite a bit ahead of schedule and I'm confident enough in everything he is doing plus my own event editing skills and Durbs story
writing that we should have everything done before our scheduled release date but i won't make any promises yet.. In case i like, get hit by a bus or something.

There are also some fantastic sprite changes but I'm not going to spoil anything at all when it comes to that    (just didnt want Kage and Twin to feel left out here )

If the charge skillset is a little bit time consuming then why not put short charge as a support ability? :]

Well even if that were the case I imagine this would be far to early to give something like short charge

Nice work Atma! I'm sure Kokojo will be very happy when he sees this 

And Mav as well, awesome job on that new Portrait!

You wanna find out, play the damn game when it's ready.

Thank you! I'll try to remember that cameras and messages can't go in blocks. Actually, while I was thinking about it, I think I see a few reasons to use blocks. One obviously being organisation like always, but also I think it might have to do with Unit Animations and Spell Effects...? Okay you don't have to answer, I'll wait for your tutorial

Haha, I'm always willing to answer questions

Effects can go into Blocks, but i wouldnt recommend it, since besides the fact that i believe it requires a special trigger, I know that if you do more then 1 effect at a time the game will freeze XD
But yes, i often use them at the very beginning of an event to setup my unitanimations like standing before the camera starts, as well as using them to erase any units that i would like to be invisible at the beginning of the event, this way you can be sure it's all taken care of before the camera even starts

Well I'm not saying it will work any better or that in some circumstances it has to be that way or anything, I'm just saying that in certain circumstances where you want several things to happen at once you can use blocks without to worry about what may be below that action interrupting or affecting the current action i will go into more detail when i get this part of the tutorial done in a few days

NOTE: Cameras and Messages cannot be put in blocks

okie dokie

What you would do is this

BlockStart()


BlockEnd()


anything inside of this block will happen at the same time as what comes after it

so say you want 3 people to walk at the same time instead of having the walk commands setup the way you do
you could do:

BlockStart()
Walkto:---
Waitwalk:---
BlockEnd()

BlockStart()
Walkto:---
Waitwalk:---
BlockEnd()

BlockStart()
Walkto:---
Waitwalk:---
BlockEnd()

and those three units that you setup to do that will all walk and then perform there next action inside the
block without being effected by the other walking characters.

Also there is a WaitForInstruction command to makes the game wait for a block to finish as well so you can setup all 3 of
these and then put that afterwords so that once everyone was done walking you could proceed but at the same time not
have the units walking or stopping effected by when another characters walking cycle ends  

Hope this makes sense, i will cover it more in my next part of my tutorial

I already posted this in the EVSP topic as requested by Raven, but I'm posting it here as well since I really believe the main page should be updated

In the event instructions for ZERO/ADD/SUB etc etc

0x0000 - 0x002B

Are the same as the Maps listed in

0x0200 - 0x022B

The ones used in 0x0000 - 0x002B are used with 0x0031 to determine your Current Map location
(such as where your character's first worldmap position would be upon starting the game)

EXAMPLE:

ZERO(x0031)
ADD(x0031,x0003)

will put your character at Lionel Castle the next time you enter the worldmap


2) Another suggestion I have is the make it so we can have attachments in PM's. It's not a huge problem not to, it would just cut
down on having to upload a picture or zip file somewhere before being able to send it in a PM, I have heard quite a few people suggest
this as well.

Double Post, Suck it!

For anyone using the ADD/ZERO commands in events you should know that while it's not reflected on the main page in the event instructions

0x0000 - 0x002B

Are the same as the Maps listed in

0x0200 - 0x022B

The ones used in 0x0000 - 0x002B are used with 0x0031 to determine your Current Map location
(such as where your character's first worldmap position would be upon starting the game)

EXAMPLE:

ZERO(x0031)
ADD(x0031,x0003)

will put your character at Lionel Castle the next time you enter the worldmap
