Sentinal Blades Tutorials - Most Recent: Editing Event Text

[CidIII]

How are you editing Event Characters?

[Zozma]

i wasnt sure of one thing, you show a txt file that has the sprite types, where are these sectors located? in battle.bin? i dont want to open the entire game with the hex editor its too slow

[SentinalBlade]

Yes they are in battle.bin, thank you for helping me make that clear

CidIII: Zodiac wrote a tutorial on how to put in event sprite edits. which i knew how to do and was in the process of making a video, he just beat me to it with his text >=(

[CidIII]

Make one because I hate reading

Here's the names of the FFT Music

http://bluelaguna.net/music/fft/mp3s.php

Excellent site for All FF Music

[SentinalBlade]

Lol, when i saw music list...well here is what i mean

The music is named... music54.spf or wahtever the extension is
in the psf archive that zodiac has, it holds the actuall names, but not the music numbers... so if i want to play "ramza's theme" how on earth do i know what music file that is the iso file... hope i explained it well enough there..

there is a tropical storm coming tommorow morning. it may knock power out for the next few days, lets pray it doesnt.

[Zozma]

theres another music file that isnt used that sounds like it would work as overworld map music, id love to change that

(sorry to keep adding more stuff but you seem to know quite a bit about changing hex values)

what about event triggers off of the overworld map? theres a town map thats never used, id like to create an event battle on it as well as add just a few more story battles without destroying the ones that already exist... possible?

actually its the 'main street of lesalia" and also the front gate, inside and out

Oh SentinalBladey Poo!
So I was following your Change Unit.BIN the Right Way video, and when it comes time to save the formation image, photoshop gets an error and shutdowns. I've done it a couple of times and it always shuts down there. I have the trial version of Photoshop, soon to get the full *cough*pirated*cough* version of it. Whats wrong if you know?

[SentinalBlade]

Zozma; Totally possible....in a way

You can replace one of the sidequests, that is simple. you can change the map...nelveska temple is on...to your lesalia street*which i saw btw...its rather glitchy, the rooftops i mean, and if you move to a tiel adjeacent to a house, you can walk through the house* simply "adding" events is not possible right now. Changing the world map, is frustrating nad im learning my best as we speak. LD needs to cahnge the order of which maps are unlocked, i think i know something of that, but have no hard evidence. adding new things to the map seems trivial at  best once i hack through the number forest that is hex

Kenshin: ill definatly look at it tommorow during the eye of the storm, ill post you the solution then. just make sure your opening the right extension, your colors do not contain 3208 different ones(had that happen to me once) and once you upgrade, try it again, sometimes trial versions of photoshop crash on "purchaser" only features

EDIT: Also make sure your resolution, number of colors, width and hieght are correct, and you save it as a 4bit in os/2(works with less graphical glitches in my experience)

[Zozma]

aww, thanks for the info on the roof glitch... what about the inside of the gate of lezalia is it the same problem? anyway i guess ill put that on hold for now. too bad about the main street, the map looks pretty cool for a battle..

[Kenshin72]

I just got the full version and used the tips you just provided, but its still giving me the finger. I'm trying to make a sprite of Zozma's Beatrix if that helps

[Zozma]

okay, so the eventchr inserting

in the scene where algus interrogates a knight at dorter i realized
that everything i have inserted leaves about two lines of pixels above it.
so im pretty sure im inserting too low. if i start at adress 53200 which is the beginning of the scene and end at 59600 thats the end from the highest pixels to the lowest ones in the picture. its 5 rows of 8. but i noticed that i have to move most of the frames up 2 pixels to make it look right (but can't move the top row up 2 because theres no more space above.. so my question is should i really be starting at 53200? i noticed that if i do i have to erase a few rows of Fs within the range of 53200 to 59600 (confused?)

[CidIII]

can you make a person scream when you kill them??

[Xifanie]

If you want to move it up by 2 pixels, remove 0x0100:

0x53200 - 0x100 = 0x53100

[Zozma]

thanks alot zodiac ;P now i shouldnt have any more problems

[Nagafen]

Cool. This is excellent work, SB!

[Kenshin72]

Yo! SentinalBlade! I got it. For some reason photoshop doesn't like me. When i tried with my own program, Idraw, it worked just fine.

Thanks for the help.

[CidIII]

In an event can you make a person scream when you kill them?

[SentinalBlade]

You mean play the sound effect? yes, completly possible =)

excellent kenshin. ive recently been akin to graphics gale for palletes and touchups, even full on edits. but resizing, resolutioning and saving it as 4 bit, i tend to use photoshop..unfortunatly thats all the use i get out of photoshop

[Kenshin72]

This has stuff to do with text editing.
So I edit some test, test it in game, works good, so I go to change so more but cdprog doesn't open up the iso. So do you have to a fresh iso everytime you insert TEST.EVT?
