Forum Index

I mean, to start with, nearly all (if not all) forum softwares were extremely poorly secured until 2015 or so to my knowledge. IIRC, all our passwords are currently stored as MD5 hashes in SMF's database... either that or SHA-1. And we both know that from a security standpoint, those are fucking worthless. But considering that this is the database we have, short of cracking every password longer than 8-9 characters alongside using a rainbow table, we're stuck with those low-level hashed passwords.

Our email system is down too, for reasons I don't understand, so there's no way to force everyone to update their password either, and I don't think this would be a trivial task to fix. Again, someone said they would help fix that and then never showed up again.

It's also pretty safe at this point to assume the database has been breached several times since the creation of this forum.

I welcome anyone else pitching in their ideas, but I'm already in debt because of my health, and this community has grown so thin over the years because everyone who has a lot of experience with FFT modding either left because they hate admins' faces, are too busy with irl/health stuff, or just left/became inactive because we've grown too thin. I don't think a funding project would be successful because as it is, all of the most active people on FFH cannot contribute monetarily.

1) Actually, just to make sure... you used the same ISO for both the Shishi expanded and 00 bytes padded ISO, right? Two ISOs from different sources would totally break things.
2) Can you tell me the size in bytes of the Vanilla Shishi expanded ISO, of the 00 padded ISO, and of the patched ISO?

It's not that only the PSX version can use those slots, it's more that there is currently no way to increase a spritesheet's filesize in WotL. As for linking UNIT.BIN formation sprites to actual jobs, it shouldn't be that hard, but I doubt there ever was a tool to accomplish this for WotL, so you'd have to hex edit.

That sounds like a toughie... When it comes to ASM hacking my guess would be to find out where the stored animation # is when it happens, and breakpoint on that to find the routine which looks at the item IDs to determine which range of items the item is in, which is likely what's used to determine the animation type.

Usually the reason no one else can apply your patch is because you created a patch comparing a FFT Image with a different format than the most commonly used one.

You can find here how to get the right format for yourself: http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=10119.0

Though I can't guarantee that's the issue.

Yeah it would be way better if we figured out how you can run the newer version. What error are you getting?

It does? I haven't tried importing it, but I can't really see a major problem at first glance. I do see however that you're using the sprite's palette (1st row) for the portrait. The portrait's palette for Palette #1 is located the 9th row, where all your weird colours are. You have access to 16 (15 + background) unique colours for the sprite and as many for the portrait itself.

Wow, my bad o.o

Well, I decided to download the zip files to get back my .GNS file edits from the good old days... and what do I find in that zip file? No GNS edit. Only mesh file edits. I did not create that. Someone from Arena didn't bother asking me what my edits were and instead just created new ones for the newer arena. MY edits handle what Nyzer tried to accomplish perfectly fine. Arena's doesn't.

It's pretty simple, I just made all states load the last mesh file, i.e. the one used with map state 0x04

That is true, listen to High Elric, not half-asleep me.
