Do you get a prize? No, I think you get bored. Very very bored. Even I was pretty bored at 60 days. There's nothing fulfilling in refreshing the forum and not seeing new posts.

Sure, I don't know if PSP saves are encrypted, but the format shouldn't be that complicated. I already wrote down notes about the PSX format: http://ffhacktics.com/wiki/Memory_Card_Format

Battle Titles
New War Trophies
Ideas
Mandalia Plains "Save Algus" battle title
The idea is to have anime style episode titles as battle titles.
The map names will still be there, but any story battle will have a custom title.

New War Trophies
Each unit will be able to drop up to 4 different items as War Trophies, based on Sets. Only 1 item per set can be generated as a drop.
Note: Those are just examples and might not reflect the final War Trophies

I'm also thinking of having different songs for the squad formation screen, such as "Commander in Training", "Anxiety" and "Espionage".

The name Agrias being edited in FFTactext will not change for an Agrias already in your party, and when she talks during events it will always be Agrias until you edit the events.

Unless the mod page states that it works on console, then it doesn't. Hopefully soon enough Journey of the Five ch1 will be re-released and that version will work on console.
I really can't think of any offhand that work on console, sadly.

New Project Ideas / Re: Replace animated game sprites with 3d models?
« on: January 09, 2015, 10:43:06 PM »
We're probably the wrong people to ask on that one, as I'm not sure if anyone here mods Front Mission 3. If there is a Frontier Mission 3 hacking community, I'd suggest to start there. Otherwise, I'm not even sure if it's a good call to send you to qhimm since they haven't done anything with FFT, either but there are a few there who successfully modded actors (but only on the PC version).

(This is Toshiko posting as Xifanie because Xifanie's laptop is closer and I am feeling just that lazy right now.)
Replacing 2D sprites with 3D models wouldn't be technically feasible. Aside from requiring a messy hack job to get the game to pull 3D models instead of sprites, not to mention finding space to appropriate animations for said models, you're also running into physical limitations of the hardware. While textures would use less VRAM than sprites, you wouldn't be able to fit models with any sort of detail on screen when coupled with the maps. Even FFVII low-poly no-texture models are asking quite a bit, and would (in our opinion) look worse with the low (256x240) screen resolution regardless. You could afford one or two 3D character models in very low detail on certain maps, but you definitely could not replicate 5 on 5 battles, much less a random battle with a horde of chocobos.
You didn't do anything against the rules, it's just that your suggestion really overestimates the hardware capability by a substantial margin. For some maps, even a battle with two parties of cubes would cause problems. We certainly aren't going to mind you looking into it, of course - the more people poking around at the inner workings of the game the better - but your idea as it stands would only be possible on another platform entirely. You might possibly be able to make it work on PSP (assuming low poly, no texture), but you're running into a host of other problems going that route, not the least of which being that WotL isn't well-documented.

Sprites?
Which console do you want to work on this for? Playstation would be so restricted that it would be the most pointless thing to attempt ever: You'd just end up spending lots of your time creating something that is far uglier (the sprites are tiny as hell after all), requiring far more processing speed, more RAM, less VRAM...
If you want to work on 3D, I'd recommend sticking to what is already in 3D, like programming in some effects and the maps. Our map editor right now isn't all that great (ganesha), and little is understood of effects even at this point.
And really, you took a screenshot of your 3D model with your camera instead of printscreen...? Why.

Have you tried, like, ctrl+f or searching the wiki?

You were already told that nobody here works on Vita hacking.
Also, this is not the right topic for your request, because it is in no way related to FFTP.

oh yes, the mama chocobo would be twice size. Choto and secondadvent gave me tips on how to do it, but I can't guarantee it. It will be mostly palette swaps, and ideally 50% / 200% size sometimes if I can figure it out.

I'm definitely happy to see such enthusiasm towards this project. With Elric on my team, I feel incredible! Yes, yes, yes, yes! I can win! I feel great! I. CAN. DO. THIS. RAAAAHHH!
Supah Monsutahs?! O: how?I'm not really sure how I'll create the super monsters yet... I think the most simple way would be to just create new BATTLE.BIN only jobs, which for me will be a piece of cake since I'm not planning on using FFTPatcher all that much anyway. Excel will work far better for me.

The King of Ivalice / Patch Information
« on: December 31, 2014, 06:28:27 PM »This mod will only be available for the Playstation (PSX) version!
This mod is not currently available because it is still too early in development for any release
King of Ivalice
This mod is meant to immerse you into the world of Final Fantasy Tactics, but seen from the eyes of the second main character: Delita Hyral. Of course, this mod will not be Matsuno's original story because it won't be written by him. However, we will try our best to keep faith to everything that is canon and take some liberties where possible. Not being Square, we can feel free to include all sorts of content it would be illegal for them to add.
King of Ivalice Revolution
This version is just like the original King of Ivalice, but heavily alters the vanilla (original) aspects of the game, like generic jobs, generic monsters, items and abilities in order to give a different, new flavor to the mod for players who are interested in that kind of experience. These edits are meant to make the game fun and different; not to give you a hard time, but still challenging enough. This idea is inspired by Celdia's Complete Patch.
