Aaand, after a little while, here's the octorok (with a photo of the N64 model for reference), built using the Morbol as a base. There are blue and black variants included as well.

Enjoy!

Edit 1/25/21:
Fixed portrait.

Next batch of Zelda enemies -

Finished Real bombchu

and finished Beamos

Both of these only have one palette currently, but I do have plans to add two more each
___

Edit 1/25/21:
I have reuploaded the Beamos to fix some issues with the portrait. I'm planning to remake the entire bombchu sprite, so I'm not messing with it right now.

Well, it's been a minute, but here's a WIP real bombchu from LoZ:MM. I know it looks out of place for FFT, but the original enemy looked pretty out of place in Majora's Mask.

Need to do back attack animations and self-destruct animations.

I've been using a Pokemon Ranger sprite as the base, but that game gives heavy dark outlines around sprites. I might need to soften that up.

Alright, here's our next Zelda sprite - a bit of a weird one. It's the Nejiron - a Goron-like enemy from the Ikana Valley in Majora's Mask.

New Project Ideas / Re: The Lion War - Extra Recruits (Working Title)
April 30, 2020, 10:11:09 am
You could potentially make Aeris recruitable as a cleric, as that is sort of her natural role in FF7. There is a complete sprite for her in the sprites section of the main page and there would be no need for a new battle if she sticks around during the Cloud fight. It gives you another female special unit too, if the ratio of your extra recruits matters to you.

It's a bit rough (especially the back attack animations), but I added a rider to the dodongo for a Zelda project I'm planning. I would have liked to make the rider a different color, but in order to retain any level of detail on either the rider or the dodongo, they need to match.

I'm going to add a few different palettes to both this sprite and the solo-dodongo, like an OG NES Zelda orange variant, but that may come a bit later.

Spriting / Re: Porklin's sprites (New Dodongo sprite!)
April 18, 2020, 07:22:38 pm
My first monster attempt - a dodongo from TLoZ. I tried to get it to be that classic tripedal form, but found it too difficult to adapt the existing behemoth sprite for my needs. The protrait is an edit of CONMAN's dragon lord.

The second set of attack frames are intended to be used with Self-Destruct - I followed the example of the Bomb sheet for sprites.

Help! / Female units cannot learn any abilities
March 29, 2020, 03:41:44 pm
Hi all, I'm a bit stumped again!

In patches that I've made to TLW, none of my female units can learn any abilities. Whenever I go in to try and learn something new, it tells me that they've already mastered the job.

This is not the case for male units.

I tried using what I believe is a "clean" version of TLW and had the same problem.

Any ideas where the hiccup might be?

March 23, 2020, 06:31:23 pm
Quote from: Nyzer on March 23, 2020, 06:19:27 pmI'd also recommend including a clip of the event.

That Effect has no EffectStart or End command, that's one possible cause.

Aha! That was absolutely it.

I ended up just deleting the effect and that solved it.

Thanks!

Quote from: Verdeni on March 23, 2020, 04:55:47 pmHmm... I can't imagine the map itself is the issue. It most likely has to do with the way the event was pieced together--even something as simple as not including the relative wait command for a specific instruction can cause issues.

Can you upload the text file of your event?

Yes, attached is the text of the event

Help! / Battle freezes when unit moves before acting
March 23, 2020, 03:30:39 pm
Hi, I've encountered a weird problem that I cannot make sense of.

I have a battle that takes place on the Public Cemetery map. After the set up event, if a unit moves before acting, they reach their destination and stop. Nothing else. The battle does not continue though all other units are still marching, so the emulator hasn't frozen. It doesn't seem to matter if it's a guest or a player-controlled character.

If the unit acts before moving, which the RNG seems to let happen sometimes, the battle proceeds as normal, and units can act and move in whatever order they want.

For whatever reason, that first move is really important.

As I said, I have zero ideas as to where the problem lies. All I could possibly imagine is that this map isn't used originally for combat and may have some weird properties because of that. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Quote from: Xifanie on February 27, 2020, 05:51:36 pmSomething doesn't add up.

Are you using event [scenario] slots 0x154 and 0x155, as according to your battle conditionals,
or 0x13A & 0x13B with event conditional set [event script] 0x9A, as according to your ATTACK.OUT screenshot?

Well, the honest answer is that I was using both. But, by rectifying that (I'm now just using 154 and 155) I was able to run the event to completion and return to the world map!

I did then immediately jump right back into the event when I tried to move, but I have an idea of how to go about fixing that (making sure I change the variables I used to call the fight).

Thanks for your help, Xifanie! From what I gather I've been using a bunch of your tools, so double thanks for all the work you've put in! I've just been wading into hacking after playing FFT for the last 20 years. It's just made me love it more.

Quote from: Xifanie on February 27, 2020, 04:55:03 pmSorry, I'm a bit out of it today.

Re-reading everything and seeing that this is a battle event, your problems would be with your event/battle conditionals, so we'd definitely need to look at those.

Your ATTACK.OUT looks fine at first glance, but I can't say if you're using enough slots without seeing your event/battle conditionals.

The world map conditionals are unnecessary for the time being.


Ok, so I'm just using two lines of code

0100FD01010019005401 <- (This is the prebattle event that's working just fine, apart from the player party marching when I want them to be still)
160019005501<- (This is the event that I dumped above)

So, from what I think I've learned, that should be essentially two commands - run through event 0154, and then once all enemy units are dead, run through event 0155.

An analogue already in TLW would be the Zigolis Swamp battle, which similarly has a prebattle convo and a post-battle convo:

0100FD01010019006300
160019006400

Quote from: Xifanie on February 27, 2020, 02:54:23 pmIf your event loops before it is supposed to end, something is wrong with your event.
If your event successfully completes and loads itself again, something is wrong with your ATTACK.OUT setup.

Either way, we're going to need your event script and/or ATTACK.OUT setup screenshot.
I fixed the spoiler tag several days ago 😜

Alright, it definitely sounds like then it's an Attack.out problem. I've updated the initial post to include some additional info. Given that the event is being triggered from the world map seemingly without problems, I didn't include the worldmap conditions code, but I can as well.

Help! / TLW event editing - Custom events repeating
February 27, 2020, 02:34:16 pm
Hey folks,

So I've spent the last couple of days trying to work my head around a problem that I'm having. I've made a custom battle. I can get it to enter from the worldmap at the right time, I can get the event running and dialogue going. I can get the battle to start, and I can get the battle to end when all enemy units are defeated.

After that, there's an event (same scenario) with some dialogue between characters, an option to recruit a character, and then the event ends.

And THEN, that post-battle event repeats (though, the dialogue is either absent or garbled this time). The option to recruit the character repeats. Sceen fades to black. Rinse, repeat. Seemingly ad infinitum.

I just want to get back to the world map!

I'm trying to figure out where my issue might be. Does this seem like a problem with the event script? The Attack.Out file/editor?
