FFT: Complete Main Info thread

[Sen]

does fixing the Battle Objectives counts too?
i.e. Defeat Dycedarg's Elder Brother - Defeat Dycedarg

[Cheetah]

Sen: Yeah that is currently being worked on. Along with changing the world map location names and the map titles.

We are trying to update everything to the new translation. There shouldn't be any inconsistencies.

New Video Preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_DEoFYkplk

So this is the last of the script previews more than likely, because this was the last scene that was a FMV in the PSP version. Needless to say I am flying through the script now and should be finished with it in a week or so.

Please look for any errors please and report them here.

[Vanya]

Around 1:20 "...their closet allies..." should be 'closest' unless this is supposed to be a commentary on sexual orientation. ^_^

[Cheetah]

Excellent catch, and corrected!

[mav]

Well done Cheetah. Flowed wonderfully...though I do miss the music we heard in the PSP scene...oh well.

[TRC]

looking great cheetah!

[Dominic NY18]

At 0:57, impasses should be impasse.

[Cheetah]

Dominic: Corrected, thanks.

[Cheetah]

So with Vanya's help we are currently update the battle conditions. Sadly there is a minor error going on so the palette is incorrect...but you get the idea yeah? This will be cleared up shortly and Vanya says he should have them all finished very soon.

Some of you may notice that these aren't following the format of the PSP battle conditions and this is for several reasons.
1) These things are controlled very differently by the game, especially for units leaving the party, and would require a lot of code editing. This is a big reason.
2) The font used for the psp looks great on it's nice crisp screens, but it is rather plain and modern. Basically I like the psx font better.
3) It is a simple matter to just change around some names to get the correct spelling/translation.
4) This is still a work in progress and we may decide to incorporate some aspects of the PSP translations as time goes on.

Also for your viewing pleasure here is a bit of FFT:C talk between Melonhead and myself. Just so you can get an idea of the kind of detail we are going into for this project. Note that I sound very clueless and Melonhead is discovering glitches in the original game that likely no else has every run into:

melonhead: ATCHELP had a problem, so I removed some stuff
Cheetah: what was that?
melonhead: specifically, I removed the list of jobs that appear on every item description
melonhead: ATCHELP is only used on the battle setup screen
melonhead: so that informatinon is useless there anyway
Cheetah: true enough, sounds fine to me
melonhead: if you have 16 units with all items equipped and all abilities equipped, the game will crash if you try to get SELECT help on the unit #16's abilities
melonhead: because the game only allocates 0x4000 bytes for all the help text on the battle setup screen
melonhead: the crash happens on vanilla too
Cheetah: ...how the fuck did you even discover that?
melonhead: while I was investigating the bug that causes the incorrect SELECT help text to appear on HP, MP, Jump, etc
melonhead: it's part of the same thing
Cheetah: haha well that is cool, great work

[Sen]

edit:I was just so excited about it

It helps to read the post the screenshot is in.

Technical Advancements:

These are shots of the Shop found in every city. Notice in the original PSX version the right edge of the menu is actually cut off. Check your own ISO to see it for yourself. Below is the fix that will be part of FFT:C, we are putting lots of energy into making this as good as it can get. I had never even heard of this error before stumbling upon it while trying to edit other windows. If you find any other such errors in the original game please let us know so that we can address them.

[PX_Timefordeath]

New Errors!
Caused by pressing select on Act


Teleport 2 is too long


Return of the Kanji

[Sen]

Then extending this would be possible too?
There's still little space at the sides

[FFMaster]

I swear we got those Kanji fixed ages ago.

[Cheetah]

FFMaster & PX: Yes the Script kanji error is definitely fixed. This is what I get for not releasing more betas.

Sen: Good though Sen. The only problem is that even if I did expand the window, it would have to be so wide to fix the text that it would likely look rather odd. Currently our fix for the problem is to just cut the "Careful" out and it looks real good.

[CronoStorm]

Very nice, I just read all 25 pages of this. I'm totally looking forward to the patch, you all have worked so hard on it. You should all give yourself a giant pat on the back, and some licorice or something. =D

[Mental_Gear]

What actually causes bugs such as the kanji one? Text files longer than the original ISO's?

[melonhead]

We added a new em-dash character (--) to the font that didn't previously exist in the PSX version. (It did exist on PSP)
The kanji appears because someone forgot to apply the font patches before making a release.
