Spriting / Re: Meliadoul Unveiled
June 04, 2022, 07:19:14 pm
I liked the idea of Meliadoul with lighter hair, and I also liked the profile provided itt.

I did some small editing and clean up to combine the two ideas.

See attached,
Have a great day

Thank you for the quick response, Nyzer!

I thought that the second 'formation' sprite option in FFT Patcher was for the profile picture (drawing from WLDFACE.bin).
But it sounds like it may be setting both prebattle sprite AND profile pic with that second number? Wow.

I made the adjustment as you suggested, and the unit sprites come out great now!
I think I understand now, and I'll need to move around the respective profile pics too.

Good candidates for this seem like characters 08, 09, 0A, and 0B

Thanks so much, I'm one step closer to finally running this game to completion

I'm patching and modding PSX tactics.
It's Dycedarg (09 Lune Knight), Zalbag (08 Arc Knight), and Delita (05 Holy Knight) in pre-battle that I'm having trouble with.

I used FFTastic to edit the memory card and input characters, and Shishi, GraphicsGale, and FFT Patcher for importing and editing formation sprites in UNIT.BIN.
For example, you can see here that I input Dycedarg into unused unit formation #10, and linked the formation sprite to his Lune Knight job using FFT patcher:





I did the same for Zalbag and Delita using some other unused formation sprites, and they look "okay" on the unit formation screen. But their palettes aren't exactly 100%. Delita and Zalbag appear blueish, and I'd like to fix that too if possible. On their job select wheel, all of the above characters look as intended though.

On the pre-battle formation screen is what I'd like to especially fix. Dycedarg is still showing up as Ramza in pre-battle:





Delita shows up as a hot mess, and Zalbag shows up as squire Delita. The funny thing is, if I assign a job like Delita's sister to unit formation #10, Dycedarg will show as intended. It's a few of these other job classes (Dycedarg's 09 Lune Knight, Zalbag's 08 Arc Knight, and Delita's 05 Holy Knight) that are giving me trouble with their pre-battle sprites. Any idea what's going on or if these are fixable?

I did try out UWEntries, but that didn't work all that well if the unit and profile pics have different numbers.
Seems like Shishi and FFT Patcher work much better for this issue, but they're not completely solve the prebattle issue I'm coming across.

Any help is appreciated
Thanks
