Final Fantasy Hacktics

Well as I said a few times, I have been following this guide as how to do it. viewtopic.php?f=23&t=4067
And I do have those files too, but it still gives the error.

Okay, I got rid of all files except the Compiler/Decompiler and it's readmes, then I extracted the TEST.EVT from my rip again.. And put it in the folder.

All it extracts is PSX Events.txt
Not the event.txt

I just have that file from Philsov's thingie.. There are all 7 mentioned files in the folder and only those, but I still get the error.
(Event compiler, Event Decompiler, Compiler Readme, Decompiler Readme, TEST.EVT, PSX Events.txt and event.txt)


Edit: Bio parts is already done and accounted for, it worked all the way and is patch up fine.

To play the patches that are currently out, all you need is the FFTPatcher located here: http://ffhacktics.com/downloads.php
And the patch of the game you'd like to play!
Be it from the projects sub-forum: viewforum.php?f=30
Or the patches section: http://ffhacktics.com/patches.php

That's all you need to play the patches, all those other things are for when you want to make your own!
I am still learning as well, I've only been on the forums a couple days.

Quote from: "Jon"but yeah, ummm, how to say it, some of the events from your folders there are totally messed up. Sorry dude if I offend you, but they are totally useless. However, I said some, not all, MOST are perfect, but beware to get some strange occurances if you only test play the game after you change all the events. I recommend to test play battle by battle, but that is just my way of doing it.

No offense taken.  

I need to redo them sometime with the correct displaymessage function, and then correctly make sure // is in front of everything that needs it; I know a few of the headers are screwed up.  A little late now, but for future ones that are fubar can you jot them down for me?

Edit:  Mari, you still need to extract a test.evt file to for the event compiler to compile back into.  And then replace that modified test.evt back onto your iso (with CDmage or whatever).

I mentioned that I already had the TEST.EVT file, in the same folder, in a previous post.

Okay, so will it always be the third one after?
Thanks for the heads-up! I'll check it out myself as well.

Hrm, I'm also having another problem and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong..

I put the Compiler/Decompiler and the ATTACK.OUT editor the ATTACK.OUT file and the TEST.EVT files all in the same folder..
I made the edits to the file I wanted to change from philsov's events.
Used decompiler, changed the event.txt file to the edited one.
Run ATTACK.OUT editor, saved the file and ran compiler while ATTACK.OUT editor was still running..
And the compiler says File Not Found.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I was just trying to follow the instructions from here viewtopic.php?f=23&t=4067
And since I'm not making custom events, and only changing the dialogue, I don't change the maps in the ATTACK.OUT.

Any more advice for this newbie?


Edit: Chapter 1's edits are fully complete! Still having trouble with the compiler, though.

I don't really like the Psp's translation and it can't be Complete or 1.3 or any other, 'cause I'm testing it on my iso I use for Solo Straight Character Challenges, so it has to stay normal game.

And I can't seem to find the place that has the (x001) or (x005) in them. @.@

Thanks VampragonLord!

& Thanks for all the help, Jon! Yeah it's something I really wanna do. Lots'a work or not. I'm pretty used to stuff like that, and I'm really familiar with the script so that'll help. I'll try this stuff out best I can and hopefully it all works out!

& And philsov, I'll download it thanks! I'll probably just renumber them all, for organization's sake. Thanks for the head start!

Quote from: "Mari"He can be Mustadio the Moustachio.

change his shirt to red and give him jump?

Well if we did that, we might have to change his name to Mustario the Moustachio.

Okay, I have the compiler and decompiler, but it's the only thing I haven't messed with yet.
What would I be extracting? And how do I edit that thing?

Well, I'm real new to all of this stuff. I've read some tutorials and other threads to help me learn how to work these things, and I've experimented with the programs from the downloads page, as well. (Nothing like trial and error editing on copies of my game!)

So far all I've really done and kept, instead of just doing as a test was editing the Misty Sprite (Good work on that, by the way, Zomza and Curu!) into Ramza's place.
I replaced the Ramza sprite for all chapters in the battles and on the unit menus/formation stuff. It's working just great and it's nice to be able to play my favourite game ever and get to be a girl! (No more pretending to be generics. =P)

But the final thing I'd like to do is be able to change the dialogue in the cut scenes that call Ramza a guy into calling him a girl! (One example is near the start where Ramza, Delita and Algus meet up with Teta, Alma and Zalbag.. Alma said, "Brother Ramza***" I'd like to be able to change that into Sister Ramza, which of course would make it say Sister Mari.)

Now I saw a thread that I thought might be the right thing, but I just skimmed quickly over it, because I was looking through quite a few threads that I thought could possibly be what I need.
But I didn't read all through it specifically fro two reasons.. One) I really am not sure what I'm looking for, exactly.
And Two) Once I begin working with learning stuff like this, I never wanna stop. x_x (And I really wanna learn this specific thing first before I get into learning other stuff.)

The same thing happened to me before when playing Ragnarok Online, I started working and learning on how to edit files, what all the files did and what they're for.. And next thing I know, I know that game inside and out! (When I had only gone to do that one thing in the beginning.) It did take years to learn all that, though!

Rabmling aside, here's the thread I thought might be what I'm looking for.
Would this be what I need, or could someone point me in the right direction, if not?!

Thank you for reading this and putting up with my rambling!

Quote from: "Kaijyuu"What is this "future" business? Indoor plumbing and large scale education could be considered huge human accomplishments, so did we hit the "future" ~100 years ago?

When we have interstellar travel and such, we'll still be talking about how we just hit/are about to hit the future. Maybe it's a carrot on a stick concept.

I almost got the carrot once.

Quote from: "Kaijyuu"Hey, mustadio's awesome. Even though his skillset sucks.

Let's change his job, then! He can be Mustadio the Moustachio.

Sagittarius?

Well, obviously. =P

I ready through the thread. Your dancer one is the best!

I could never decide. Time Mage or Mediator.

Dragoner for me!
