Quote from: JadeKnightblazer on June 04, 2021, 10:33:52 amYes thanks to this post. I have been rubbing my head on why a simple text change kept crashing formation window @_@

Any idea what ASM that causes this or what tactext changes to spaz it out?

You should not be making any tactext changes unless you are building TLW from scratch with the resources provided. Tactext must be patched before the ASMs are applied in the case of TLW

Quote from: Gregory on May 24, 2021, 09:07:45 pmRequesting a Meliadoul buff for TLW.

All Mighty Sword skills to have vertical range of 3, area of effect of 2, inflict damage like WotL, as well as the following:

Shellbust Stab: chance to inflict slow.
Blastar Punch: chance to inflict confuse.
Hellcry Punch: chance to inflict disable.
Icewolf Bite: chance to inflict immobilize.

Anyone willing to help a dude out? ^__^

This isn't ASM. You can do all of this yourself in FFTP

Quote from: JadeKnightblazer on June 02, 2021, 03:30:06 pmVery cool!! Maybe I'll passs this on to Pokeytax and see what they could do or like to do with it. Seems a good way to back extra items in the game without needing to use item ids or replacing vanilla.

Pokeytax hasnt been very active here for years

Quote from: Devix on May 31, 2021, 01:04:02 pmHi guys, I'm new here and I signed up because it is my intention to create a mod for fftwotl for psp.

Quite simply it is a mod where at the end of a certain event, Orran join the group.

I created a setup of the astrologer class based on the same orran in ffrk, so a sort of white mage/bard, making celestial stasis unlockable with 2500jp and nerfed it a bit.

Had no trouble using fftpatcher, it's very simple and using Lioneditor for the playtest it.

But it is not so easy to use "easyvent editor super perfect 2.1".
I understood that the appropriate event to insert the "join orran screen" could be the number 168 "meet again with olan" or at the same time as orlandeau joins, event 248 "rescue of cid".

The point is that I don't know how to write this event and insert it right after the various speeches or alternatively immediately after the orlandeau join.
I cannot understand, even in the case of orlandeau, what are the strings that allow a character to join the party.

My questions are:
It can be made?
Is Easyvent editor the right tool for what I intend to do?
Has anyone done this before and am I just wasting my time?

Thanks a lot, have a nice day!

Hey man. If you want to have him join with Orlandu, this makes most sense tbh.

You can add new dialogue his the event if you want. Or you can just have him join up in the evebt by flagging 'join after event' on him in the ENTD (found in FFTPatcher) that Orlandu joins in. It already should have the setup for joining after an event, since someone else does. So event work itself, is only necessary if you would like to add more dialogue for Olan or someone else in that event.

In which case you can edit the event (remove the text offset at the beginning) and then recompile it in WotL mode using EVSP.

Hope this helped

Quote from: JadeKnightblazer on May 30, 2021, 02:52:22 amDo you have any plans to expand upon your ARH Lite system? While it works wonders for Ashely Riot, heck even other multi-weapon abilities in 1 class.

I feel there is leaps and bounds this Spreadsheet could provide

Example: Certain abilities are only useable while the character is inflicted with a status. - OR - Bravery/Faith must be this high/low.

All in all, ty for all the passion you pour into your projects and to the others that work with you!!!

Eh, the Lite version was made specifically for TLW to make it a smaller hack since TLW is minimalist being that its a base patch made to work as a base for other new mods... No one here is going to know anything about ARH lite since it was made years ago, within my team... If you want something less 'lite' then the 'lite' version, just like, download the full version. There will be no expansion to the 'lite' version

Just a FYI, this community is about actually modding the game. Not something as simple as just modified saves.

If thats what you wanna do though, there are tools here to help you do that, so id suggest looking into those. This isnt really one of thise sites where you make a request and then its fullfilled. We all do our own things here.

Quote from: Tyler_Durden64 on May 15, 2021, 08:25:04 pmHey man, if you're offended by a simple question or request, thats your problem. Im not apologizing for it and Im not gonna sit here and pretend like some and say "take all the time you need, i dont want this sooner, id prefer later". I asked if the mod was dead and if it'd be possible to release in smaller chunks, simple questions that require simple yes or no anwsers that would of sufficed. Yes, obviously if i could do it myself i wouldn't be here asking. I guess I'll check back on this next year then, sense as you said, you'll  work on this when you're damn good and ready 🤷‍♂️.

Kinda doubt you'll still be around here next year tbh. People like you kill motivation to work on a thing that is created to bring entertainment and joy, you offer no encouragement nor anything else that should be coming out of a project, being made, for free, by people with full time jobs and families. I think my past and current projects speak for themselves in terms of quality and my dedication, thank you very much. If time is such an issue for you, then you are in the wrong place. You want to ask for something else, go ask a dev who is paid to do this. To be quite honest, I'd rather you stay as far away from anything I create, as humanly possible.

I don't give two shits if you apologize or not. However, come at me, or anyone else like that on the forum again, and it'll be the last thing you post here, friend. No, this is not a threat, I'm just making you well aware of my intention to ban you if you keep it up. No more, no less.

Quote from: Pride on May 07, 2021, 02:02:03 pmI took the opportunity to make a xml to do this without having to upload each gns file.  Faster and easier. Apply with FFTorgASM like most xml files.

what a bro

Cool!

Quote from: Tails_Doll_Prower on April 23, 2021, 01:44:28 amI'm just now seeing this, and I'm highly intrigued by sparing characters who are useful and have them join, or let them go.

Heck, you could rewrite everything and change history depending on the routes taken.. choice like sparing Wiegraf sister.
Then tetra would be saved after fighting wiegraf, because due to sparing her.. she would make sure tetra is left behind for example..

However I get stuff like this really takes time to create/edit. But guess that's a idea.

But however, loving this after seeing some videos. Keep it up!

Lol, Miluda you get as a undead unit, in ch4, if you have recruited Wiegraf and go to her grave at Lenalia Plateau

Quote from: Tyler_Durden64 on April 12, 2021, 12:46:05 pmIs this mod even being worked on still? Is it dead? Seems to have been frozen for a very long time. Idk about everyone else, but i just want to recruit Elmdor and Gafgarian. Dont care much about the long list of other stuff on here... If this mod isn't going to be finished any time soon, couldnt we have a smaller more simpler version to hold us over?

It is. I'm not a paid employee, and I don't release partial patches. IF you actually want up to date info, maybe ask on discord, or take into account the amount of projects I work on, here alone. Let alone anywhere else.

The reason I mod games and do not work for a dev team, is because I do this as a hobby on my own time, when I am damn good and ready to do so.

If you want something that bad, you are free to use some of your own free time, to create it properly, mostly lore friendly, and well evented, on your own. Otherwise you can wait for this. Up to you.

Quote from: BrizzleSizzle on April 04, 2021, 11:24:15 pmTitle.  So I think I may have hooped myself by mastering Geomancer (buying all the skills) before it was actually level 8.  Anyone else run into this problem?  I have over 3000 JP at level 7 currently.  Is this even needed in this version to unlock Dark Knight?  I can't find an accurate source of info for the job requirements.  They also seem to be quite different from both WotL and vanilla.  Please help!!!

We don't support 1.3 here

Quote from: Thoach on April 02, 2021, 04:40:22 amHi there,

Is it possible to download this mod ? The videos show that it works for some of the characters.
Indeed, I would like to mod FFT to be able to recruit Gafgarion.

Thank you for your answers.

Thoach

Nah, its not out yet

Quote from: weary_old_man on April 01, 2021, 11:13:26 amHi all,

Thanks for taking the time to make what looks like a great mod!  I had a quick question.  As part of this project, was the original localized text cleaned-up as well?  I couldn't tell from the release post, read me, and FAQ, if a pass was made to make some of the original text make more sense.

I'm a new poster here, so apologies if this is addressed elsewhere  Thanks again! 

Nope. The dialogue is vanilla

Quote from: helltoast on March 24, 2021, 02:21:10 aman anonymous user was kind enough to share their backup of the dropbox file. the original was probably deleted because of cdprog.exe, it's flagged by every av as a virus.

https://www53.zippyshare.com/v/nc0Qcop5/file.html

and here's a link just for the video files if you're worried about your av going off. you still need cdprog though, and it'll get flagged no matter where you download it from.

I was going to make a ppf for this for just the movies, but it would be huge and cant guarantee itll play nice with everything else.

So instead im going to just fix the movie files in general (riff headers are bullshit) and reupload them with the next update. Then you should be able to import via cdmage, without any issue.

If this doesnt work, i can include another program to just insert those files for you, without cdmage

Quote from: Hyraldelita on March 26, 2021, 06:03:17 pmSAme as Mudvayne here.. waiting with anticipation.

Good, because Nyzer is currently making a pass again thru all the ch1 events, then as he moved to the final pass (before more testing) on the ch2 events, ill be condensing the ch1 events using the new structure.

We are still a bit out, but much closer than we ever have been before, since those 3 gathering events are all working now

Quote from: solomonrex on March 03, 2021, 08:11:04 pmI can't find any information as to why the WoTL movies that I need to use, that are supposed to be in the dropbox link in the readme file, are inaccessible. Going to the given link just says 'Filed Deleted', and now that I've FINALLY gotten this game patched, I can't put in the movies.

Because you are getting a false positive warning for cdprog.

Quote from: kentyugo on February 21, 2021, 01:06:44 pmHi guys , im not that good with computers , so ive downloaded the ppsspp emulator and went to emuparadise to download the game , but none of the link works it says Game is unavailable including the ffhacktics one , pls help guys i really miss this game T_T

We will not provide links to roms. A simple google search can get you there.

Emuparadise does not host roms anymore

Quote from: Ansehelm on February 19, 2021, 09:42:44 pmDisclaimer about my previous post: I realize that the versions I playtested were previous to 1.06, and even my own mod is largely built on 1.05 (had to diverge at some point since I can't use Special Snowflakes due to a conflict with a different ASM in mine.), so there is a chance that xxxsdpsn is correct with reference to these bugs.  That said, I did a fresh install of TLW 1.06 and loaded an endgame save, and worker 8 functions normally, although I can't vouch for the events mentioned unless I do a clean runthrough of 1.06.

One thing I did notice though, is that the Unit bench hack seems not to be active in 1.06. This is only based off of loading a save started in my mod, but anyone doing a TLW 1.06 run right now should be able to confirm whether 1.06 has the Unit Bench Hack.

Thank you for clarifying, I cannot replicate the issue with Worker 8 either, but I am using 1.07 build right now, which isnt public yet, until its finished and then testing is done. Normally this would be caused by not changing the last byte in the padded image used in creating the .ppf, to something other than 00, but I'm fairly certain I did that, as I always do.

Quote from: mcgeheeiv on February 17, 2021, 01:04:18 pmBring all special playable characters to the beginning of the game as an add-on to the latest completed legit project and original game. This means you can play Cloud, Cid, (Luso if this is a PSP) to your party at the start of the game.

Purpose: create a Castlevania 3 like feel when you beat the game you can start with Alucard for example to begin the game with or whomever you picked throughout the game. This way we can experience whatever characters we want and level them throughout the game. If you don't like a character.. say Boco, you can just dismiss him. I believe on PSP should be like 18 total characters.

Sorry if this has already been pitched but did not see it and is this do-able?   

Thanks to the hacker/patchers out there!

Kind Regards,

Eddie

And so then how would you even handle the story?? Or are we just throwing that out the window here?

This particular idea does not interest me personally, but it would be a good started mod for a new modder to work on, so maybe someone will pick it up for you if you arent intending to do it yourself
