Final Fantasy Hacktics

The Pros probably already know this or have better ways to do this but someone starting out might like to know you can Print Screen (PrntScr is on the keyboard around delete) when you are looking at a sprite (like the wonderful ones from this site) and paste it in GraphicsGale Just clip the Unit and Portrait straight from there for use when messing with your UNIT.bin and WLDFACE.bin. Saves you the trouble of messing around with the screwed up portrait thing. Here's my steps

Save the full BMP(*shishi still uses the full one) and hit PrntScr
In Graphics Gale open a new image (big enough to see the portrait and correct unit pose I jsut use 300x300)
Paste the PrntScr in there.
Drag and drop a random Unit and Wldface (or open them from wherever you have them)
Load the BMP's palate on the random Unit and Wldface(I have better luck loading the palates before pasting)
Clip the Unit and Portrait from the PrntScr image (24x40 for units and 32x48 for portraits)
Paste them appropriately.
Then 'Save As' for both Unit and Wldface
Rinse repeat!

I thought this was great because you didn't need to resize anything like most other PrntScr adventures I have been on. I can do this pretty quick using this method, great when you are respriting a whole patch lol.

Hey all.
I am new to the forums but have a basic knowledge of modding. I have successfully created jobs with the patcher, rearranged skillsets, changed sprites in shishi and in FFTEVGRP, as well as changed the job names and ability names in FFTactext and played through the game and fixed glitches so I have some idea how to troubleshoot.

But I'm having some trouble with event editing.

I started with Elric's great tutorial "Event Editing 101" which was great and I was able to understand fully. I followed all the steps three times through and still cannot change event "002 Orbonne Prayer" I change all of the script and when I hit "Compile Event" it says "Event compiled successfully to offset x00002000" But when I import my TEST.evt in CDmage, save it, and run the ISO nothing has changed. Even when I try to reopen EVES all of my changes have been reverted!

What I have done: reinstalled EVES, erased the PSXevents.txt and decompiled the TEST.evt and tried it all over again, I downloaded a separate version of Event Compiler 2.01b and Event Decompiler 2.04 and edited the text this way but again when I tried to compile it I get an error message "Wrong parameter type 'x' expected but 'r' found on line 9" This occurs even when I try to compile without changing anything. EVES still says it compiles but if I reopen it or try to patch my ISO none of my changes remain.

I suspect it is a compiling issue as the PSXevents.txt saves properly but when I try to compile it claims success but reverts as soon as I close the program. I am using windows 7 and have had "read only" drama when I tried to hack Dawn of War... could this be an issue?

Ideas?
