Spritesheets reassignment

[Vanya]

No. You just have to import your customs into the new files instead of the old ones.

[Zozma]

its more organized actually.

sprite 01 is ramza, just like his job
02 is ramza number 2, etc

the jobs match the sprite number. Princess ovelia's job is 0C
and so is her sprite number.

I have nothing constructive to add, just wanted to say thank you Zodiac.

[nates1984]

Not going to edit my last post to add this so people know there's a new message.

If we make a patch using this stuff, then if someone wants to apply said patch to a blank ISO they'd have to first run these two ppf files right?

Just to add for anyone just now downloading this, Squire Male is 60, and Mime Female is 85, and of course the rest of the jobs are in between those.

[Zozma]

you actually only need to run the expand iso patch

the second patch is not needed as the iso size will match, the ppf of your
own game which has the battle.bin changes for sprite reassignment will patch as long as you have used the expand iso patch first.

[nates1984]

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I'm guessing it'd be best to create your ppf with a blank ISO that has only been patched with the expand ppf to make sure it picks up all the sprites in the DUMMY folder then.

[Zozma]

exactly

[spoonman]

Er, this makes my IMG file 803 MB.

I'm missing something here.  

[Zozma]

well it is an expansion right

It basically means that you can't burn the image for use on a PlayStation. You can, however, make a fine eboot for PSP.

[Vanya]

I wonder if a modded PS2 would be able to run it if it's on a DVD?

[Zozma]

mayhaps it would?

[DarthPaul]

I don't see why not.

[Zozma]

but zodiac, is there any way we can make use of the sprites  9B-FF? or perhaps use their space for something else?

[Angel]

I wonder if a modded PS2 would be able to run it if it's on a DVD?

You'd need a modded PS2 that can actually play burned PSX games, which I have yet to encounter. That or I've become acquainted with people who make terrible choices in mod chips.

[DarthPaul]

You can buy a special disk that will allow a nonmodded PS2 to load the game from the DVD.

[Angel]

You mean Swap Magic? That will only boot PS2 games.

[DarthPaul]

HmmI thought I had seen one that boots PSX games, I have been wrong before.

[Angel]

Nah. I used to have a set of Swap Magic discs before my ex made off with my PS2. There's one disc used for booting PS2 CDs, and another disc used for booting PS2 DVDs. Neither of the two will boot PSX games, and since you need a different disc for both formats on PS2, I would hazard a guess that it would be impossible to use a theoretical disc that loads PSX games to load a DVD.

803mb * 2048 / 2352 = 699mb

this fits on a CD

I even tried burning a CD myself before making a PPF patch.
