Can you actually make that time investment in your life? You've been gone so long that it would probably take you weeks depending on your current lifestyle just to start getting back on track.

Guilt is a very poor motivator. If the answer isn't clear to you right now as to whether your motivation will drop or not; don't bother. You need high self-discipline to appreciate the journey and keep pushing, rather than getting excited at the prospect of completing a goal + working until you get burnt out. This goes for anything in life; relationships, success, happiness... not just FFT mods.

You also can't really expect any sort of userbase to give you support at this point. FFH isn't exactly all that active anymore after all. The only mods in development that I know of are JotF/TLW, and those have had some major slowdowns from health and team management issues.

You could just copy the palette of the character to a row in the EVTCHR image's palette, then just copy and paste the image into the EVTCHR image. If multiple palettes share the same exact colours, you can temporarily edit duplicate colours in unused palette rows to prevent auto-detecting and defaulting the colour to them.

Edit: In GraphicsGale, that is.

I used to say that people should do it for themselves, but I grew more into the "we all want recognition for our work and that's okay, just that it takes a lot of work and dedication to reach that".

A lot of people here are allergic to criticism... we literally could not be friendlier in terms of teaching eventing, unfortunately most people are so fucking terrified of "looking stupid" that when told that they need to post about their eventing issues on the forum and not in PM, they just quit. We enforce this apparently extremely unfriendly approach because we have so few eventers in the first place that any information about the eventing process needs to be put out there so others can learn from it (i.e. those who learn purely by reading and avoid social interactions like the plague).

The reason we stubbornly refuse to do otherwise is because of people that we (mostly Elric) taught others in private, after being promised to help eventing with JotF and, well, pick one of the following for every candidate:

• Left to create their own project
• Claimed they understood what was being communicated but really didn't (in those cases a different approach from another person helps)
• Gave up

[Nyzer is the only exception to this, he's been a great help and fantastic student, as Elric was when I taught him]

All of course, wasting dozens of hours from Elric who was seeking help with eventing because we lacked manpower/time. So yeah.

This means we don't really get new eventers, but we don't really have a choice, do we?

I guess I was trying to touch on emotional reasons people give up, why they shouldn't, and how to avoid them in the first place.

Beat you to it lol, we've been doing this for many years now. I think about half the people listen.
...Though when we say to join a project rather than start your own, I don't think anyone ever listened to that and pushed through. So we end up with 20 modders who need teams of 3-5+ people each, but have only 3 people (total) who are willing to help instead of starting their own mod. Therefore we end up with a disproportionately huge amount of people who are asking for help for their project and get no one offering any help... so they just end up quitting. It is hard to rally people to your cause when you claim to be a leader and yet don't act like one. This is why Elric was successful in recruiting people for his project; he led by example by working hard and trying to deliver the best mod he could. I don't know of anyone else who managed to recruit anyone other than an old charismatic charlatan who was really good at selling his vision, but not himself. I had to shut the project down because he was asking others to do 100x more work than he did, and just planned to recruit everyone to do all the work for him while he sat on his ass. I find it interesting how those 2 completely different personalities are the ones who rallied people to their cause. Can you figure out which one is the narcissistic manipulator?

Oh wow, now I can post in this topic without looking like a jackass providing the false hope of an answer.

(hiker is not a job)

I just wanted to say I got hired and paid during the summer summer to hike trails, ensure the respect of nature and ensure the safety of people walking.
11 Canadian Rupees an hour, and they even covered gas from the office to wherever they wanted us to walk

Actually, the scavenging stuff is for the Synth Shop v2 which hasn't been released yet from a lack of testing.

The first version is xlsx, meaning it is macro-free, so it should work with free alternatives, as long as they don't suck too much.

Yes

Unfortunately, it's a "Use the attack animation of the weapon used for this ability" kind of a deal, so you'll start long-range punching things (with 0wp in Agrias'/Meliadoul's/Orlandu's cases).

And I'm not really positive on the Geomancy one. Feel free to test yourself.

Dubbed meaning not the original English audio, but rather in this case, French with shitty voice acting.

Congrats, you just assumed that I assumed how you spend time with your kids. I was only stating that I think the time modding the game was time way better spent with your kids. If you draw other conclusions from that, that's your own assumption, not mine. While I was writing that post, I was wondering how you treated your kids otherwise, but I don't jump to conclusions like that, so I'd appreciate if you didn't accuse me of making baseless assumptions, thank you very much.

FFT is a very, very dark game, especially for its time. Lots of blood, betrayal, murder, manipulation, suicide... Let's just hope your kid doesn't get terrorized by Izlude getting ferociously and brutally murdered by his own father and seeing him puke blood until he dies then asking questions about it. I know I got terrorized at 5-6yo watching a pretty brutal horror movie (no idea what the name was, it involves tentacles draining the insides from people) with my parents and siblings and it took me a good 3-4 days to recover. That's something I wish I hadn't gone through.

You already had your answer though, Tactext and Event Editing. It's going to take a long time to go through all of that text. But, if that's what really matters to you, you do you, I guess.

To add to what my wife said, I'd be more concerned about a 6yo seeing Goltana stabbed in the guts with blood gushing everywhere... or Hashmalum literally committing suicide by ripping his insides open.
