should the idea realted to the the game only>

Yes, patch ideas for FFT should be related to FFT...

Here, I went and whipped this up quickly for you or anyone else with the question in the future.

QuoteWhat do you mean by "having the CT work properly"?

I made a personal patch for the PSP that edited the Archer skillset; IIRC I had to change it around a little. Though maybe it was just that I swapped it for the Calculator...? Honestly it's been long enough that I don't exactly remember that.

However, a regular Weapon Range skill with CT has some trouble if you use this skill and then move. I can't remember if the skillset itself still blocks it or warns the player like it normally does with Aim if you change it to a normal skillset type, but, gun to the head, I don't think it does, after my experimentation with the above.

QuoteIf not... maybe there should be a Help subboard or a sticky just for people who want to play others' mods, rather than create their own.

I'm... confused at this statement. Because applying ASM hacks is part of the latter, not the former.

And there's a topic near the top of the Tutorials board that says "how to patch an ISO with a ppf file", which as far as I've seen has typically just been the standard way of playing someone's finished mod as is. I guess it could be stickied, but (again) as far as I've seen, "how to PPF" is not a very frequent question around here anyway.

QuoteIt doesn't help that the Tutorial Index has ASM hacking as the second section, and puts ISO patching all the way at the bottom. :/

... Why does this matter? That post takes what, a literal minute to read? Someone who can't manage that much certainly won't be able to get as far as unzipping any files they download anyway.

... Why are you asking about an off site mod from 8 years ago?

In fact, how did you find this topic?

Height's definitely looking better, but now it looks a bit too thin. And the ear's definitely too small.

Eyes look a little too short, but given that he's glaring that might be passable. Still may want to consider another pixel or two of height on 'em though.

It looks a little too small, IMO. Most FFT sprites peek over the top of the frame a bit, and the necks are also longer. The hair could also maaaaybe stand to be a few pixels taller?

The only stat difference noted is for Mastered jobs. A quick google search also confirms on multiple pages that the stat difference is only for Mastered.

As long as it's his joining event.

Pretty sure that's not the ENTD ID Ramza joins the party from. Try 188.

Heh, the WotL requirements for DK are terrible. That was never going to be what was used here

Heh, it was a thing with someone before. When they continued using the old tools, we pointed out (more than once) that the older event format was making it harder for us to tell at a glance what was wrong, and that the newer tool has better error checking that would have identified what wasn't working this time.

After having made multiple events the hard way, with us otherwise encouraging this development, the guy just up and vanished rather than switch to the tool and take the brief amount of time to relearn some of the formats. (And I know it's brief. I went through the same thing.)

It was teh disappoint.

But, if you do a thing where we try to advise you to use the most current tools and you refuse for eight topics in a row, we will be very cross with you. 

Heh. I didn't. I might've had a chance if I'd had good status effects that could shut them down, like Assassinate, Stop, or Disable. But I didn't at that point in time, and without those effects, they were too much to overcome.

IIRC I was able to survive the fight, but just couldn't get any kills. They're too tanky and can heal each other too well. And they come in before you're likely to have a team fleshed out enough to handle that.

Losing to them does help serve to steer the player towards status infliction and away from vanilla FFT's "zerg damage to win" strategy, but with no option to run from random battles it's a bit too punishing to throw out that early on, even as a teachable moment.

It could be done with ASM, and I'd be surprised if some didn't already exist that could do this, as I know some have been made for that exact purpose with normal abilities.

That said, everything except having the CT work properly could be done just by burning some regular skill slots, if you so wished.

You can patch the same ISO over & over with Patcher... IF it's a good ISO to start with.

A screenshot of the Squaresoft logo doesn't tell us much. Odds are it's a bad ISO though... get a new one.

Whatever your file is that you're trying to apply your patch to isn't a recognizable ISO of the PSP version of WotL. Acquire a fresh US PSP ISO and try again with it instead.

It can help a little, or a lot, if we know what the exact error message is.
