Quote from: Elric on May 10, 2022, 08:32:38 pmIts not compatible with FFTC. This mod is way too large for it to be compatible with that.

But yes, you will get to play the most terrible translation of a game ever written in about a month or so, whenever I finish up TLWotL.

The setting for how many drop down items to show can be overridden easily enough in the code. I'll start working on the rest of the layouts now.

The goal of the version I reconfigured wasn't to let you use the font you had (i.e. the problem font). The goal was to let you set Tahoma (i.e. the font it was designed for) in the theme so that it will look like it was designed to look. There are two problems: (1) the font and (2) the button size XP's button skins add to the really small, nearly absolutely positioned numeric up/down controls. The first issue causes overlaps like the "Effect:" over the combo box; this is the font's fault (i.e. temporarily switch to Tahoma in the theme). The second issue causes overlaps like when the numeric up/down controls would overlap each other (i.e. you could turn the theme to classic in XP which doesn't have those huge button skins, but the version I reconfigured turns that off just for the application).

The opposite gender job could be unlocked using spillover JP I'm pretty sure... it's not exactly ideal though.
I'm guessing you want:
lvl4 bard unlocks new job
OR
lvl4 dancer unlocks same new job
based on the unit's gender...

This would ideally require an ASM hack

Usually if a hack isn't working properly, it does exactly what it sets out to do, while breaking 10 other things. So the class will have innate maintenance, but their head gear will be replaced with Phoenix Down in battle, or monsters can't move, or swords have 0 accuracy. Random crap like that. I don't know specially how this hack isn't working, but that sort of thing is what you expect with the disclaimer.

In that case, I'll need to upload, since the other links appear dead, too. I'll do that in the morning; I'm up too late as it is. =_=

Xebra is aimed at hardcore control freaks, and is not particularly friendly to new users, but psxjin and pcsxr (which are both extensive updates to the original pcsx) come with all required plugins. If you're familiar with ePSXe, you'll feel right at home. They both make use of any plugin compatible with ePSXe, but the plugins they come with are what you would most want to use.

I personally prefer pcsxr (the most stable version I recommend is here - don't get anything more recent than this) as it is easy to set up, has a very high compatibility, and its default hardware plugin has an awesome feature to reduce (sometimes remove entirely) the notorious polygon jitter from PlayStation games. FFT has no apparent jitter, so you won't see any improvement there, but it's very apparent on many other titles. See my topic on this here if you're interested.

Not as far as I've noticed. My expanded ISO hasn't given me any trouble in pcsxr, xebra, or psxjin. Granted, I haven't done extensive testing on xebra, but the other two I've tested on quite a lot without incident. I don't touch ePSXe because its compatibility with FFT is crap to begin with, along with a host of other problems and complaints I have with it.

• Open FFTPatcher to the window you're having trouble with.


• Right-click somewhere empty on the desktop.


• Select "Properties" from the context menu.


• Select the "Appearance" tab.


• Click the "Advanced" button.


• Choose a different font and size until the program looks like you want it to (hit "OK" then "Apply"; NOTE: the program probably expects Tahoma 8pt).


• Optional: Change the font back afterwards.

spoiler: Why

Windows Forms applications provide programmers with the ability to auto-size their components. In other words, were all the components a size that fit your personal choice of desktop font? Probably. Ideally, these auto-size components (like the numeric up and down controls) could increase in size and decrease in size without having to worry about their actual placement on a form; Windows Forms is designed to do that. However, those components have to actually be inside of a container that lays them out properly (based on new heights and widths). Instead, if the component is just anchored to the form, you'll see components start to overlap (like in the screenshots you posted). That's a problem with the application, but, rather than re-do the layout, you can just change the font to fall back to what the application expected your font to look like.

Honest question: what is your native language set to in XP? That sort of thing occasionally happens if it's set to Japanese or Korean, though I'm not sure what causes this specifically. Font settings shouldn't matter inside the program window, but region settings can.

The font is wide (i.e. change it in the theme to one that's less wide with less vertical spacing).

The only weird thing I've ever noticed with the ISO expansion is that pSX will complain about reading beyond the end of a sector or somesuch in its command window when some battles load (deep dungeon maybe?), but there's no noticeable gameplay effect.
