The Lounge / Hello
September 03, 2012, 12:28:21 am
I'm sure some of you are well aware of who I am. I've been gone for quite a while (2 years or so), and haven't been active on any website for the most part. A starcraft 2 addiction swept over me, and has been controlling me for over a year. I've changed a lot, and I hope everyone can forgive me for my past. I had a hard time making decisions for myself for a while, partly due to my immaturity.

So I do sincerely apologize, especially to Dome and Eternal. Dome was always a supporter of whatever I did, and so was Eternal.

FFTA/FFTA2 Hacking / FFTA: Rebalanced
December 11, 2010, 01:11:55 am
Post your Ideas for ffta rebalanced in here. Chances are, your Idea will be put into rebalanced.


Thank you.

The following are created by gotwald. This post will be updated with proposals, however, a change log of the actual project will be added later.

Special Jobs


Since the assassin is being removed from the player arsenal, it can be made into a special and powerful enemy only job! Increased growths, more equipments options, possibly double sword, maybe innate maintinence... Suddenly you have a very tough enemy which can be added into boss fights against you! Won't be everywhere, but definitly will be on the home stretch (with Llednar.)

Level

The suggestion has been made to use the average levels of your 6 best party members to determine the levels of the enemies. While this is a good suggestion, it leaves people the ability to only use Marche and be able to curb stomp the game that would be many levels below him.


Another idea would be to make the the enemies the highest character level of the party. This could work, except if one character levels above another, you can soon see that there will be a strength disparity. Fortunatly, this isn't all bad, as the xp bonuses for fighting stuff above your level are substantial, meaning that you would be able to catch up with your lower levels rather quickly.

Equipment


Equipment seems to be set on every enemy in the game; there is never any variation, which would lead me to assume that equipment will not get better with level. This means that equipment would have to be set. However, instead of facing guys with broad swords at the end of the game, we can set enemies to have much better and more synergistic gear. In fact, we can even set enemies to have AMAZINGLY over powered gear, and then just slap maintinence on them so that the player can't have access, making a stronger enemy.

This topic is about removing skills from the players arsenal which are overpowered and can be abused to make the game pretty much unfair.

Current ideas for skill removal include:

-Damage MP

Reason:

AI cannot see reactions, and this will allow you to absorb countless attacks and be almost invincible due to MP regening.

-Two swords

Reason:

Removal pending, if it can be innate added to ninja's then this will be removed as an ability but still usable on ninja's.

-Turbo MP

Reason:

Due to bad MP scaling, this ability is the only ability chosen by mages and increases the effects of magic to astronomical heights. If we did some number crunching, we might be able to make this work, but for now, it's on this list.

-Reflex

Reason:

The AI cannot see reaction until they attack them, so the AI will always waste a turn attacking the character with this ability, even though it says 0%, giving the player a free turn ALONG with the proteciton from regular attacks; if this can be fixed, this ability can go back to the player.

-Strikeback

Reason:

Same as reflex, but it is SOOOOO GOOODDD that the player can't have no matter what.

-Ultima (all)

Reason:

This skill is too powerful, as it allows you to deal more damage than the boss of the game and currently cannot be balanced for the player.

-Doublecast

Reason:

This skill is also overpowered. It allows you to attack two different players at once (Two groups of players), or just deal plain damage to one enemy. IMO, the skill should be weakened, like double shots formula.


These skills will still be present in the game, but they will not be useable by the player. For example, you may fight an enemy who has Damage MP and two swords, but you will not be able to use them yourself.


If you have anything with this you would like to discuss, such as that one of the skills on this list should not be removed or another you would like to add, please post.

FFTA/FFTA2 Hacking / Sprite Limitations (Darthatron)
December 11, 2010, 12:21:09 am
This info was originally posted by darthatron.

So, each sprite has a limit to what it can contain...


Battle Sprites:

    * Must be <=16px (32px for monsters) wide and <=40px high.
    * Must  contain 15 colors or less (+1 background color). See below for useable palettes.



Portraits:

    * Must be 64x64px (needs verification)
    * Can have up to 47 colors (+1 background color).

FFTA/FFTA2 Hacking / Graphics Editing (By: Tuosinoc)
December 11, 2010, 12:17:26 am
Couldn't quite capture the headings for the sections he made. They are very cool.
 

 

The Administrator (ffta707) has stated that he will upload all of the "old tutorials" to the site.  Presumably, those tutorials contain a guide on graphics editing (probably several, in fact).  Until they are uploaded, however, I thought I would donate the little knowledge I possess here.

Have you ever played a game on an emulator and found yourself thinking "Wouldn't that character look great if he was a little more mage-like?", "Ugh! That is ugly! And it wouldn't be that hard to fix!", or something similar?  If so, then this guide is for you!  With a bit of patience and a modicum of artisitic skill, you can customize just about any rom's graphics.

 

(   // __/  (__/      /| )_ _ _/.

|/|//)(//    / ()(/  / |/(-(-(/ .     [WYN]

 

1. A Gameboy Advance rom (I'll be using Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, but this guide works for any rom).  In my country (USA), it is legal to own a rom of a game so long as you own the original game (which I do).  Familiarize yourself with your respective country's laws, and do not ask for roms on this site.  See Rule 4 on the Rules page.

 

2. Tile Molester Alternate.  Tile Molester is a program written by Kent Hansen that allows the manipulation of graphical data within a rom.  The "Alternate" part was written by Central MiB, and it allows us to import palette files (which will be extremely handy later on). You can get it here: http://www.romhacking.net/utils/%5B515% ... ernate.zip.

NOTE: This program is rather bug-ridden, so keep the original zip file.  When the program starts spitting out errors, delete it and unzip the file afresh.

 

3. VisualBoy Advance.  To play roms you need an emulator, and I think this is the best available.  Besides, we need its ability to export palettes.  I use VisualBoy Advance-M, a variant.  You can get it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vbam/f ... z/download

 

3. Patience.  Getting tiles to line up correctly can be a tedious process, and sometimes it seems impossible.

Making Backups                        [BCK]

 

First, and most importantly, you must learn the Cardinal Laws of Modding, namely:

    1. When in doubt, make a backup.

    2. When not in doubt, make a backup.

    3. If you ever feel like not making a backup, see rules one and two.

 

Seriously, regularly backing up your work can save hours of frustration.

 

Say you've got a rom called "Final Fantasy Tactics Advance".  Make a copy of it and call it "FFTA - Experiment".  Then you change the way the Black Mage looks, you play test it, and you like it.  Rename it "FFTA - Black Mage Edit". Make a copy of it and call it "FFTA - Black Mage Edit II".  Then you change the way the Summoner looks, you play test it, and you like it.  Rename it "FFTA - Black Mage and Summoner Edit".  Make a copy of it and call it "FFTA - Black Mage and Summoner Edit II".  Etcetera.

 

That way, if you encounter a bug, you can test each modification in kind until you find the source of the bug.  If you have a large project, you can even have version numbers and a change log.  Just keep things backed up!

 

The modder who keeps a plethora of backups is not the modder who says, "Aaaargh! I can't find this bug! A week of work is ruined!".

 

With that out of the way, let's get started.

 

Finding the Palette                   [PAL]

 

Let us say we wish to modify the in-battle sprites for FFTA.  First, we need the palette for those sprites.  The palette file tells the game what colors the various sprites should be.  If you were to just search for the tiles right now, the sprites would all be the wrong colors.  It would make them almost impossible to find and difficult to work with.

 

So, run VisualBoy Advance and open up the rom (File -> Open GBA).

 

Then, play through it until the sprites we want (the battle sprites) are clearly visible.  Go to Tools -> Palette Viewer... and the "Palette View" box will pop up.

 

You'll see two palettes, "Background" and "Sprite".  Generally speaking, the Background palette is for the environment (things that don't move), while the Sprite palette is for the characters (things that do move).  Since we want the battle sprites, we want the Sprite palette.  To save it, press the "Save OBJ..." button and save the palette wherever you want to.

 

And now you have your palette!  That wasn't so hard, was it?  On to the tiles!

 

Molesting the Tiles                   [TIL]

 

Run Tile Molester Alternate by double-clicking on "TMLauncher.bat".  If you try to run it just by clicking TileMolester.exe, it'll behave oddly.

 

Once it's fully open (and it might take a few moments), go to File -> Open... and open up your rom.

 

(By the way, if the program decides to be buggy, it'll usually show up here. See NOTE underneath [WYN]-2.)

 

You should see a bunch of menus and a block window in full technicolor disarray.

 

Now we need to import our palette.  Go to Palette -> Import From -> Another File... and import the palette you saved earlier.  You'll notice the colors have changed (although they still don't make any sense).

 

It's time for the hunt!  The sprites we want are somewhere in that rom, but we don't know where.  Now that the palette is accurate, the sprites should look normal when they do show up.

 

Normally, you'd have to scroll through the whole thing searching for the sprites (and you may want to do that anyway for the practice).  But, out of the goodness of my heart, I'll give you the location.  Go to Navigate -> Go To..., enter 0069B600, and press OK (the other settings should be at their defaults, "Hex" for "Radix" and "Absolute" for "Mode").

 

If you're familiar with the game, you should recognize chopped up bits of a soldier in here. But, my oh my! What a mess!

 

Let's clean it up!  Go to the View Menu and click on the "Row-interleaved" option.  Notice how many pieces fit together now. (Some roms require this option on, while others do not.  You'll have to experiment.)  It's still messy, though.  Go to View again and select the "Tile Grid" option.  This will help differentiate sprite groups.

 

Now comes the tricky part.  Do you see those buttons on the toolbar in the upper right?  If you hover your mouse over them they'll tell you what they do.  Those buttons help you navigate inside the rom.  Tweaking with these will help to line things up correctly.

 

Try clicking the "Byte Forward" button (the one that looks like a plus sign) twenty-eight times.  You'll notice that our soldier fits nicer inside the red boxes.  That's a big improvement of our first view of him, isn't it?

 

If you're disappointed that it's not perfect, then I've got some bad news for you.  I've tried to make those little blobs line up perfectly for forever without success.  Sometimes, you just have to be grateful for a fair facsimile.

 

Well, now you can edit things to your heart's content.  The controls on the left side are remarkably similar to Paint, so a little effort will suffice to familiarize yourself with them.

 

Once you're done, go to File -> Save and you're done!

 

Play Testing                          [PLT]

 

Now you just need to rev up VisualBoy Advance again and play through the game 'til you get to your edited piece.  Make sure it operates as you wanted and make sure you test as many animations as possible.  You'd be amazed where little errors can creep in.

 

If everything conforms to your satisfaction, then congratulations!  You're done!  Enjoy.

If you're new to this sort of stuff, then welcome to the happy community of modders! If not, then I hope this guide was somewhat helpful.

 

If I missed something or left something out, feel free to let me know (just post it below).  I'm pretty new at this, too, after all.

 

Other than that, thanks for reading and good luck!

Archives / FFT: Diverse (UPDATE: DEMO AND SCREENS!)
August 08, 2010, 06:11:29 pm

A young man named Azrael planned to be happily married to a young lady name Olgria. They were roaming the city of Trecheran (A poor town filled with many peasants), when Azrael proposed with a stone of Serpentarious, to Olgria. Olgria held the stone. Before anything was said, an arrow was shot into Azrael. Olgria fell to the ground, struggling towards Azrael, trying to lift him. A knight walked into the city, strait towards Olgria. Olgria was grabbed by the arms, the stone with her.  Everything clears, and then Azrael starts to gain consciousness. There were many dead people around him, who were slaughtered by the knights of Golgeros. A sudden call from someone among the dead made Azrael come too. He stands, and walks towards the man. The man is conscious, but has been badly wounded. He acquired a scar on his left cheek, from the notorious Havian Kin.

Story of Zeleus

Azrael's instinct takes over, and he saves the younger man named Zeleus. Zeleus was at the academy training for the conflict of Zelmonia and Ordalia. Trecheran was a small town nearly neighboring Zelmonia, and they were currently sending Soldiers into Zelmonia, to try to fend off Ordallia. Zeleus was an experienced Mercenary, and new a lot for his age.  Before he was injured, he was going to check out a group of Golgerosian soldiers that had been reported roaming land's around Trecherain.

History of Golgeros

    Golgeros, a small group encouraging the independence from Ordalia, was known to have frequent attacks on Trecheran, recently. These attacks were rare but very violent. Trecheran could not predict the attacks, and so they could hardly defend themselves. Golgeros was violent, and didn't consist of many soldiers, but all of the soldiers were very skilled. They were led by a man named Havian kin, who trained with Ordalia's infantry for many years. He was power hungry, along with the other Golgerosian soldiers. Golgeros has one main goal, and it is to capture the provenance of Zelmonia: Trecheran. They hope to grow big enough to one day take out the Ordalia Nation.  
    Although never mentioned in the scripts of the Fifty Years War, Golgeros played a major start in the declaration of the war. Havian Killed King Devanne III, before he named a successor, trying to corrupt the Ordallian Nation. To Havian's surprise, the death of the King caused Ivalice to declare war on Ordallia. Golgeros was much hated, but was never encroached upon. They did their own thing, and tried capturing Trecheran.
History of Trecheran
    Trecheran, a provenance of Zelmonia, was an independent nation, with a growing military. Nearing the end of the Fifty Years War (When story takes place), Ivalice freed the Provenance from Ordallian rule. Trecheran was slow to get on its feet again, and attacks from Golgeros became worse. The development of Trecheran's army, however, was not slowed down. Many feared for the lives of their families. Female and Male from all over the now "City State" joined the Trecheran army. Golgeros struggled to overpower Trecherain. Zodiac stone's were being discovered around this time, and Golgeros took advantage.

Story of Azrael

    As the stones were being mined, news spread about the stones. It was said that the natural beauty of the stones was sacred. Azrael had opportunities to mine the stones, and took each on. Eventually, he got a hold of the most sacred, a Serpentarious. The power of the stones was not yet discovered. Only Golgeros and Ordallia knew about the Phenomenon's that occurred with the holders of the stone, and had intentions to use the stones in battle. Azrael was very careful about the Serpentarious, and planned to keep it for proposal. Later on, He met a women named Olgria, and proposed. The day he proposed, he handed the stone to Olgria, but a wall of Golgerosian soldiers plowed into Trecheran, and slaughtered all. Except for Azrael, and Olgria who was captured; Stone in hand.

Storyline: Meeting Nareh Rotiart
    Azrael hired Zeleus to accompany him in finding Olgria; Zeleus reluctantly agreed. Azrael also looked to find professional help though. Azrael and Zeleus began scanning Trecheran for an experienced soldier. Azrael finally encounters an experienced old man named Nareh Rotiart. He reluctantly agrees to helping, but insists on leading them. Azrael hesitates, but agrees.

After weeks of searching, Rotiart tells Azrael that Olgria is dead, and that he should focus more on freeing himself from Golgeros, and quit the setbacks. Azrael was frustrated with such stupid remarks, and the Sword Sinister took on Azrael. This is the first major battle in the game, and Nareh brings in a few "Unexpected" surprises. A hooded warrior who is nameless enters the field. Nareh calls it miss, but you will not find out its name for a while. A second warrior comes in. It is a familiar warrior, from when Havian attacked Trecheran. It is the one who slashed Zeleus. Once defeated, Rotiart uses a stone, and turns into a Serpentarious Boss. He runs off, but you will meet again later.

Last Battle: Major Twist

    You meat Miss, in a corrupt map of Trecherain (After that part was invaded). You will have to fight Him/ Her, and defeat it. After the battle, a twist occurs in the story line. The black figure, after exploding, shows her real face. It turns out to be Olgria! She holds up the stone... "You should have known you fool." She transforms into a new Ultima sprite, designed like medusa, or a snake women.

All abilities have just been tested. No bugs, working great so far.

Two more chocobo's are being created (White and Green - and one secret chocobo). So chocobo knight will get more abilities, that I will add later (Including a secret one, from the secret chocobo).


They are very rare, and are only found in some regular battles. If you see one, you will have to have someone with Invite skill.
Sometimes jobs of the same kind as your generics will appear in random battles. If so, you will either have to be hit by the secret ability they carry, or inherit their crystal.
Chocobo - 3 added, 1 secret.
Goblin - 2 added
Sacrificing - Juravis type birds, and Flotiball/ Plagues.

1) Need ideas on balancing chocobo knight. They need to be a bit stronger than a normal chocobo.

Help! / Frustrating Attack out Error
August 08, 2010, 01:39:33 am
I have been event editing, and had some problems at the beginning with the ATTACK.OUT. I confronted Kokojo with the problem, but we couldn't get the problem fixed. Eventually, I got it to work, but after that one time it stopped working again. I can't get it to work now. Is there something wrong with the correlation in which I am doing things?

_+_+TELEPORT+_+_

This is a little shaky. The teleports in and out, are the animations, therefore, if you want teleport in, you have to put erase, at the
begaining (shown below), before the hole event. Later on, right before or right after your teleport in instruction, put in the draw instruction
(below). You can try different cobos, like draw before tele/ draw after tele, whatever works. Just dont put any Wait instructions in between them.

Teleport out is the same way. You perform your event with the person you want to be tele out- then simply put tele out with the erase instruction.
This will all be listed below.

Erase(x??,x00) ??= unit ID.

Draw(x??,x00) ??=Unit ID

TeleportOut(x??,x00) ??=unit ID

TeleportIn(x??,x00) ??=Unit ID

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lost Script

The story takes place as Ivalice crumbles. With Delita dead, the skies are growing again. Commoners are being mistreated. A new war is sprouting, a similar one to the fifty year war, respectively. Ordalia, the nation who fought Ivalice, is becoming more powerful, and seeks revenge. Ordalia ordered an attack on Ivalice, killing many. Commoners were tired of all this, and decided to strike back, but only under the name of one character - Ramza Lugria.
Ramza's late Bio
Ramza Lugria, believed to be dead by many is now starting to be "seen" after Delita died, these were only alleged sightings, no more. Now, he Leads commoner's, determined to set commoners free of the harsh treatment. His sister was assassinated by the church, as she was believed to be a heretic also. Now Ramza lives to seek revenge for his sister, and his old friend Delita, and his sister Teta. Ramza was a married father, by the time everything started giving in.
Ivalice
The lion war ruined Ivalice. The economy crashed, the town was destroyed, and criminals and assassins ruled the streets, due to the corrupt government. Now, Ordalia is invading, making Ivalice (noble Ivalice) a week point, and a good way for Ramza's army to attack. The commoners attacked, and killed many nobles. The nobles were furious, and ordered and attack on the common army. The common army was prospering, and was somehow able to absorb the attack, but then there was an accident. Ramza was assassinated. He had turned quite old, and was dying from the black plague. His wife died shortly after due to the black plague. The commoners were confused, and out of order.
The Revival of the common
shortly after the tragic death of his father, Zalram took control over the common army. He revived the commoners, and maintained Ramza's main goal. The treatment of the commoners got worse.  Zalram declared war against the nobles. The war would be known as, The War of the Common.  Zalram was a bright man, who became a Knight, in memory of his grandfather.
An even bigger problem was even deeper within the war. With Ramza out of the picture, the yet to be mentioned death corps had only been training, and regaining power. Death corps was of course enemies of noble Ivalice, and any ally of Ramza was an enemy of them. This sparked a new three way war, re titled as the "Battle of precedent"
due to this battle being kindled by past experiences.

With Corps attacking nobles and commoners, commoners attacking nobles and corps, and nobles attacking commoners and cops, a triangle of war raged out. The armies would attack at more vulnerable times. This is one of the most violent wars in history of Ivalice.

The leader of the nobles at the current time is a man named Organlen Nelnagro, Zalram's arch enemy. Ivalice is big, and the nobles must divide their county. The noble's foundation is of the skies. The Eastern sky, led by Angarde Gaffgarion, Goffard Gaffgarion's young relative, controls Eastern Ivalice. The southern sky is not led by anyone by the name of Orlandeau. Orlandeau sadly passed away, a good friend of Ramza's. Right before his death, his words were, "Rank is only in the mind. My relatives... have nothing to do with the nobility." Instead, it is run by Hidengh Yeilders a young Tempered sword, a true noble you might say. The northern sky has fallen, and there is no effort to revive it as of now.
The role of Arazlam Durai
This tale was printed by Arazlam Durai, who witnessed every event that took place. He published the new story right before his assassination, also due to charges of heresy. The papers were revealed, and now a new story can be
told.

_+_+_+Conditions+_+_+_
You play as Zaldarg, and control the common army, and lead them to victory against the noblemen of Ivalice.
Story takes place after Ramza's death, after the ceasing of Ordalia.
You play through new battles, events, and will even find secret characters along your journey, to conquer the nobleman of Ivalice.

first event I made, but it was kind of quick. I just first want to show that I can event edit.

THIS WAS NOT MEANT FOR BUMPING. I JUST GOT BACK TO WORK. I EDITED THE STUFF ABOVE ALSO

Also, your welcome to give suggestions for jobs!
