Spriting / "Made" a new sword skill
October 03, 2020, 03:22:12 pm
I've always been a bit unhappy with how Dark Knight sword skills were just refiltered assets from other abilities, so I messed around and came up with this. It's just the blade/moon thing from Divine Knight's Blastar punch stuck in the middle of one of the Lucavi status spells (Nightmare)then given the palette of poison from Black magic. It lacks the punch of a swordskill thanks to the original ability sprite being a little slow and there's not really a sharp sound anywhere, but I think it looks alright. I'm happy with it as it's about the extent of my current ability but if anyone else feels like using it/improving it I'll toss up the effect sprite:

Spriting / Jon's Ramza in Delita's armor palette change
September 05, 2020, 10:31:29 pm
Jon's original he made is the green but I decided I'd prefer blue so I swapped the green for the blueish teals on Ramza's ch.4 armor. On the off chance someone wants to use it. I personally really like it because I always thought Delita's armor was great but you know...he kinda sucks.No message is associated with this attachment.

So I was fiddling with the arithmetician job in WOTL, and decided to change it into a general magic class.

But when I use the text editor to change the job name/ skillset name etc and go to patch my ISO, I get an error message that says "DTE for OPEN.LZW has failed. ISO has not been modified"

Even though I haven't touched the text in this location. It doesn't seem to matter how little I change so it didn't appear to be a size issue and after reading the document about DTE's and how the bytes work, I'm feeling like I'm missing something because it shouldn't be a byte issue either?

Help! / How to best do some small changes
August 23, 2020, 06:13:18 pm
Hi, hello, I've known about this site and FFT hacking as a whole for quite some time now and I'm finally gonna give some edits a try and downloaded the FFTPatcher suite programs. But I have some questions about the best way to do it so I'll lay them out and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

I only want to do some smaller things like changing job names and replacing some sprites with the great custom sprites that I've seen here. However I really love most of the changes in wotl, especially the cutscenes and name/text changes, and it's my understanding that it's much more difficult to work with.

So my question is, should I just patch a PSx version and try to fumble my way through that? or can what I want to do be done on WOTL?

*I should note that I do have some experience with other game editors  :wark:
