Final Fantasy Hacktics

So, with summer either here or rapidly approaching (who can say for sure) I've decided to give away some events! Whee~! Fun!

I'm going to do 5 events, and they will all be ones submitted by anyone who finds this topic and takes some interest. Hopefully you have some sort of an attention span.

Include some kind of outline as to what would happen in your event. A script, maybe some general ideas behind what action is going on in the event, perhaps even a list of things you would like to include such as certain maps (did you know you can visit multiple maps in one event? :o), music, custom sprites etc... Be as specific if you want, but if an idea is very clear it probably has a better chance of getting picked.

It can be for anything as well! If you want an event for the project that you are working on, or if you just want something cool to be made just drop off your idea and I might pick it!

The criteria for picking the 5 that I want to make aren't really set in stone maybe you'll be picked maybe not.

Also, this cannot be a secret event. If it is for a project you must be willing to share it with the world, because after I complete each event I will be uploading it to youtube and posting it for all to see.

So, yup. Go ahead and post stuffs. I'm looking forward to making some awesome events :)
I don't know when they'll be picked, but it'll be soon.

I have some Mog/Umaro events kickin around my noggin... I have to write out the script and all I guess though. You're quite a good dude for doing this =) I'll see if I can come up with something!

As I have horrible eventing skills, (and apprehensive to update my evsp config) I thought I would propose one that I would both use in a project as well as be fun to see :)

(Vague Outline)
Araguay Woods: a lone man runs across the map and stops to look behind him wondering if he is safe....(squire...or maybe a scholar :D)

Seven soldiers appear and circle the man. He begs them to leave him alone.
One man calls him a freak.  Another accuses him of destroying his pub.  A third tells him he must pay for the damage done to their village.

The party arrives and Ramza (Or whoever) asks the men what crime this man has commited?
A man replies that this is their business and to leave them to it, or be the next target.

A soldier steps forward and declares enough of this! You come with us now or we kill you here!
The man turns to the soldier and tells him not to strike him.  Please don't make me angry........You wouldn't like me if I was ANGRY!!!

The soldier strikes the man.  He falls down as if dead.  Man stands back up and screams.  Man transforms into green titan.  HULK SMASH! Insta-kills soldier.

Battle begins!
LOL!

Ramza's escape from Murond Death City. It's canon!

I vote for Eternal's event! That would be cool as hell.

While I agree with this, I really have no idea what I would do for such an event so if you guys want me to make it then someone has to come up with a plan for it.

CONMAN's event will soon be the first completed event for this (hopefully tomorrow!) :)

Here's a little screenshot update to let you know that I'm actually getting stuffs done:

Hope more people post so I don't run out of things to do!

Tiny side-note, EVSP will screw with you when you do update your config. So you should do it, but when you update start getting used to eventing with notepad :P
CONFIG.ini is for the compiler / decompiler, not evsp btw.

As you wish! Dome's idea has been picked for event #2 because it is absolutely hilarious :P

Gilgamesh event. An event that leads to a battle that, after winning the battle ,leads to another event. Gilgamesh(male-samurai vanilla sprite) and enkidu(vampire sprite) comes out of a portal in yugou woods, gilgamesh pops out a speech bubble about the whereabouts of the sword excalibur. Ramza and orlandu then comes into the scene/map, gil gets surprised that orlandu has the excalibur, maybe makes a deal with orlandu to do battle wherein orlandu must hand over the excalibur if he so loses. Ramza then asks what if gil loses inwhich gil replies with "don't worry, I won't" or something like that and then he tells them that they cannot refuse this battle. Orlandu complies nonetheless and battle starts. After winning, another event occurs wherein enkidu and ramza is in critical state, gil lunges for orlandu, ramza then tries to intercept by striking with a sword but gil teleports behind orlandu and goes for a backstab. Ramza slightly stumbles while orlandu evades/blocks and then counters, gil weaponguards the counter. Gil jumps 2 squares back, cid lunges at him, and hits Gil. Gil's sword flies off, Orlandu normal poses, gil in critical pose, Orlandu tells gil that he lost but gil then suddenly goes "hehethisisn'tevenmyfinalform" and strikes orlandu with another sword, orlandu blocked but is sent 3 squares backward. Orlandu and ramza are now in critical pose while Gil prepares for an ultimate attack, maybe says something like "This'll be the final fantasy you'll ever be in" then lunges towards orlandu. Orlandu makes a defend pose, but before gil could land the strike, a portal appears in between orlandu and gil, intercepting gil's lunge. portal is still there, ramza,orlandu and enkidu normal poses, enkidu pops a textbubble containing ".....(whimper)" then goes after gil through the portal. portal disappears, another 2 second pause or so, ramza then says "I wonder who that guy was...", orlandu replies with "....." ending the event. Also gil and enki's names are not shown in the events, only "????" or "Foreign swordsman" and "Weird panther", or something like that. It's ok if the scenes are not exact, I just love to see a fight scene of Orlandu and Gilgamesh. :mrgreen:

Lol not bad Potion, at the least it would give Jumza a chance to practice a action scene ;)

I told Jumza I'd post this like a month ago, so here ya go:

My idea was to make sort of a "Welcome to FFH!" event, however this would actually be numberous events linked
together (remove loading screen in video editing) due to ENTD restrictions.

Basically, it would go to a map with a bunch of people from each patch (minus the dead ones) and section, like Arena,
CCP, CoP, PW?, Jot5, The ASMers, The spriting section, the FFTA Section, The IRC crew, etc. Each introducing their selves
and what they do on FFH.

There was more to it than this, but you get the general idea, just something to welcome newcomers, and perhaps
explain that we have an EDIT button or something :P

If you wanna work on this, lemme know and we can work out who does what scenes/sections/mods/etc. I already have
what sprites to use for just about everyone, and rough ideas for each little scene.

Hell, I'll do a few of these if this goes anywhere. :D

Okay, here's my idea:
The Camera sets on the Zeltennia Chapel Ruins.
We see Agrias kneeling beside the dead Ovelia.
Arias: Who did this?... and why?
Ramza walks into sight.
Ramza: Agrias...
Agrias: I failed her.
Ramza: Don't be so hard on yourself, there was nothing you could have done.
Agrias: But I -should- have! I was to be her Aegis, but when she needed me, I-
Ramza: Think! You may not have been able to save her, but you saved many others! I'm sure that's what she would have wanted.
Agrias: ... I hadn't thought about it that way.
Ramza: Well, we had best be go-
Delita walks up to the gate.
Agrias: Don't tell me you had a hand in this!
Delita: Shall I tell you that which you want to hear, or the truth?
Agrias: You swine!
Delita: The truth, then. You were right. It was your fault Ovelia died. She died of the same knife that you thought would 'protect her'.
Agrias: I'll kill you!
Delita looks at Ramza.
Delita: And you, Ramza?
Ramza: I thought you were my friend! Your injustice will be answered for!
Delita: Kill them!
2 knights come into view. Arias and Ramza fight Delita and his men, and win.
Delita gets on his knees.
Delita: Tietra... Ovelia... I'm coming...
Delita falls to the ground and dies.
Agrias leaves the scene.
Ramza stops and stares at Delita's body.
Ramza: To think it came to this...
Ramza leaves the scene.     

Nice script Tristan, I dig it. Although Ramza usually sucks at consoling people. He usually tries "<person's name>..." and silence lol. Alma's the same way >_>

"Ramza..."

"Delita..."

Maybe he learned some people skills through his adventure though

I like the concept of it, since I can see Agrias being very upset by it. However, how does she know that Ovelia died there?
I mean, if Agrias did enough digging to find out what happened to Ovelia and where she died, how did Delita get left out
of that bit of info?

Though that's just my inner eventer trying to see it play out. It is nice to see someone post a script, and that last scene in
vanilla isn't explained as well as it could have been anyway, so no real issues there.

My main issue is some of the actual dialogue itself and Ramza's character. Ramza and Delita grewup together, they were
still friends the last time they saw each other, or at least, didn't wish each other harm. Which makes it very hard for me to
see either one of them being this cold to one another, especially the bit at the end with Ramza.

None of this really matters anyway, since the events are just for shits and giggles. Just throwing out some constructive
criticism. Still it's very nice of you to actually include a script. It definitely makes the process of making the event quite a
bit easier when you don't have to write the dialogue as well.

Dem War of the Lions names though....

CONMAN's event will soon be the first completed event for this (hopefully tomorrow!) :)

Apparently when I said tomorrow I meant... fortnight.

The Hulk event is done and recorded, but I'm moving so I don't have an internet connection stable enough to upload to youtube. It'll be up soon though. I am starting on Dome's event, as well as Tristan's (with some possible script alterations) and I plan on doing Elric's as well, but it could take a lot longer :P

Yeah, I just figured: Hmm... what do I want to do? The meeting of Balbanes and Orlandu, (I'll use vanilla names to the best of my ability) Beowulf and Reis' wedding, Delita's coronation? No, those don't feel right... I'll just put it on hold. Then, I was just watching some custom events and came across the Event with Delita and Ovelia. Then this popped into my head: What if Rama and Co. went forward in time. (I'd imagine that the last scene took place several years after the Final battle.)

So, I decided that maybe Rama and Agrias fell out of the loop in a location near to Zeltennia. Agrias, in my mind, would look to the ruins, as Ovelia spent a lot of time contemplating and whatnot there.
So, say that Delita said that he found Ovelia dead. (I wish I'd added mention to the flowers; they would have been a nice touch, at least in my mind.) I think that once Agrias discovered Ovelia, she'd be in shock (but I can understand the confusion on that matter.) and probably pay her respects.
And with the whole matter about Delita and Ramza, I had 2 things in mind:
1. Delita could have changed in the presumably five years or so (just an educated guess) and we all now that power changes someone.
2. Ramza's suspicion. This one is pretty much null and void without the flower thing, but let's be hypothetical here. In Ramza's mind: Why would an assassin bring flowers? And where do I recognize that knife? (As Ramza is treasurer for his group. And trainer. And fashion stylist. And guidance counselor.) And most importantly, how does said assassin know her favorite hangout AND the biggest of all: Who cared about Ovelia enough to bring her flowers? DELITA. ( This is, of course, assuming that Ramza has become Delita when it comes to mind games.)

Sorry for the beefy explanation, but that's the hypothetical idea in my mind. ( I realize this isn't Chrono Trigger, but there ARE Time Mages, so time travel? Maybe.) Anyway, that's it.

Tristan out.

EDIT: Also, Ramza IS a heretic, so Delita would possibly be obligated it run him through, and in a more unlikely turn, it could be similar to the Ser Aliste, and Delita would want to atone by letting Ramza kill him- but like I said, it's unlikely.

And sorry for all the edits, I wrote this on my mom's auto correcting abomination of a phone.

Event #1 finally uploaded!


I am also attaching a savestate for psx so that you may view the event and fight the battle yourselves!

Dude! Awesome Jumza! Thanks for making this! I actually had no idea that the "mimic titan" would look good on the "Titan" sprite!

Do you think you could post the event.txt and palette you used for the titan?




edit/package recieved :P Hella awesome thanks!

Yeah that job turned out to be the perfect fit :)

Here's a little package for you, including the sprite (the portrait colours actually need to be fixed, some of his skin is still brown), the attack.out (the only changed settings you need to have are in the first slot, all other slots are not important), the fftpatch (which has the ENTD, make sure to keep the unit's in the correct spot so it doesn't mess with the event) and the event.txt (remember to change any unit ID's that you change in the ENTD to match with your patch in here!).

Hope this helps you out with your patch!

Event #2 is complete!

Hope it makes you laugh just as much as the original video does!

I had to make a few edits to the general movement of the characters so that it didn't look very strange, but I think it turned out well.

9/10 just because it lacks the awesome SF music
But epic work anyway

:o It does! I had completely forgotten, sorry Dome :P

Event 3 should be done soon, I finally got my laptop repaired (yay!) and so I have access to my full screen rather than my little 1/3 that wasn't cracked :P

Not sure if you're still doing this or not. If you are, I have 2 events that I would like to do up. But I think I would need a lot of time (or a really thorough tutorial) to understand the different commands and codes to make an event work.

If you are still willing to help out, I would really appreciate it (said the random guy asking for help lol).

Anyhow, if you are interested, the two ideas I have are: (these would occur during the main storyline of FFT, to go with my sprite/class/skillset overhaul patch). I would also write up the dialogue for these scenes if your interested in helping out.

Event 1:

Before the end of chapter 3, after Yuguo Woods unlocks, a new map appears with a new event or the event could occur on an existing map.

-The scene could be a ruins of some sort, or any type of interior that could work like a church or cave.
-Ramza would enter, and inside is a female unit (Going to use the Demagogue skin), who is petrified in the center of the area.
-A demon of some sort, any type of enemy would do, is talking to the status, saying how she is the "True Princess", and that her power will theirs to consume.
-Ramza attacks the demon, his team versus the demons team (again any assortment of monster that seems appropriate could work).
-When the battle is won the petrified woman is freed, and a conversation happens between her and Ramza. She explains that her true name was Ovelia and that she was abducted at a very young age from the monastery where she lived, because her life was in danger. She was raised by a sect of Samurai who have protected and trained her. At some point she was petrified by an unknown enemy and the samurai were either killed or left.
-Ramza is shocked that she is the "True Ovelia" and that the Ovelia he knows is a fake princess.
-She swears Ramza to secrecy, and offers to join him to stop the evil of the Lucavi. But her true identity, despite her resemblance to Ovelia, must remain a secret. She wants nothing to do with royalty. Her Princess class would be different from Ovelia's in that she is capable of using Samurai swords and some samurai abilities, along with some princess skills (mbarrier).
-She goes by the name Caitlan, as she gave up "Ovelia" long ago.
-She joins up.


Event 2: This event could occur anytime in chapter 4.

-This event is a different character. In this scenario, a mysterious woman is said to be fighting monsters and demons in the mountains not far from where fort Zeakden was. When the player lands on the map a battle appears.
-A battle appears in which a woman (Tietra as per the sprite on this site), is battling against a group of monsters.
-Ramza is shocked that she is alive and hardly believes its real. He helps her defeat the enemies.
-Tietra's class will be "Valkyrie", a spear user with some jump skills, along with an assortment of White Magic skills.
-After the battle is complete, Ramza and Teitra discuss her survival.
-She explains - the spirit of the Valkyrie saved her soul. That the Valkyrie took pity on her lost innocence and possessed her body. Bringing her to life and imbuing her with the power of the Valkyrie to fight darkness.
-She also explains that she does not want to see or confront Delita - does not want to tell him that she is alive. She fears that he is corrupted with evil in his quest for power - and that if she talks to him the power of the Valkyrie might want to destroy him.
-Ramza offers for her join him in the fight against corruption and evil, to which she agrees.


If yuo or anyone else is interested in writing these scenes, feel free to let me know. If not, thanks for considering it.

I can trade art work for your efforts, as I am an artist/illustrator. :)

... This is a 3 year old topic and Jumza is hardly even active.

You should just download EVSP and make the events yourself.

Elric is correct.  In fact, he has an excellent tutorial on how to do these things yourself.  Really, it's not terribly difficult to make a reasonable event, but it does take a fair amount of patience.  BTW, I think everyone would love if you tried your hand at spriting, if you have some artistic talent.

Yeah, sorry, now that I'm in uni I'm a touch too busy for something like that :P Events such as these where it's basically people standing around and talking before a battle starts are pretty easy to put together though! You'd be surprised :)

Yeah for sure - I figured it was a long shot at getting some events done up. I have been reviewing the tutorial, so it will take some time to learn how to set up the commands to make the events work. The tutorial is great so far.

In terms of spriting I am a little hesitant - I can only imagine how easily it would be to get hooked on making sprites. I know the class mods that I have done for Darkest Dungeon have been quite addictive to make. So just debating how far into modding FFT I want to go. Right now there is an extensive variety of character sprites on this site that are quite awesome.

And no worries at all Jumza, I just wasn't sure if you were still doing events at this point. Thanks for the tutorials :)
