Final Fantasy Hacktics

Hey man, you have to have some fun every now and then right?  I thought about doing the Chris Hansen "Why don't you have a seat over there?" since Zodiac called him a Pedo . . . but you have to go with the Timeless Classic man!

Hey Orlandu you can find more great concept art of the red-haired chick at: FF Concept Arts

Damn, that's a pretty in-depth tutorial thanks for mentioning it.  Also thanks for setting it up to have the portrait work also!

I've seen the Wiki, but I didn't see the "Defend Reduce Physical Damage by 25%" hack there.  I assume it was a recent addition.  On the other hand I noticed the code/location for Statuses -> Defending is there which I assume is what you have to edit.

Holy crap we need to get this guy a translator.

So I've Downloaded FFTorgASM and I noticed it has a hack called "Defend Reduce Physical Damage by 25%" which is pretty cool.  But I think that it should reduce damage by 50% (or maybe 33%) considering it not only takes you an action but also takes a slot.

I figure this should be a simple fix, but I have no clue about how to do that.  Is there a guide or thread about this?  A search turned up some ASM request threads but they all seem to just be people requesting things that one person puts into the FFTorgASM program.

Man, that Lulu looks AWESOME.  Besides Jecht she's my favorite character from FFX.  What's wrong with the sprite doesn't it need a portrait and that's it?

Future Plans:  Thanks for the feedback guys.  I think I'll go with Red and use it on all the versions of Ramza we remake.  I plan to give each family a different primary color:

Zalbag & Dycedarg = orange
Ramza & Alma = red
Teta & Delita = purple
Meliadoul & Izlude & Vormav = green
etc.

Need Help:  But I ran into a problem and need some help.  My current progress so far is this:



I got a 16 color palette using Photoshop to reduce to 16 colors and then I used PalSuite3 to extract the palette and reduced that to 16 colors.  So far so good on that front.  But here are the problems I have:

*When I import the sprite and view the animation frames (right panel in Shishi's) they have a red instead of black background.  I think this has to do with red being at the front of my color palette.  I don't know how to swap it with black though (at least the palette saved with image, not the extracted one).

*When I extract the BMP from the sprite in preparation to recolor the portrait is all garbled up because of an inaccurate palette on extraction.  Which means I can't edit the portrait and when I reimport the edited bitmap the portrait doesn't even show up.

I think Cid's guide points out the rest very clearly but these points have me stumped.  All help is appreciated.

Oh man those look sick!  No battle images for those?  Steiner portrait looks awesome.

Quote from: "dwib"they are all actually pretty good, good job using existing palletes instead of making your own.
If i had to choose one i'd go for the second to last one with the navy shirt

Buh, what?  Palette what?  I just started modding today.  Link me to a reference about this?  I know that the palette is very limited but you can't just make a photoshop palette for importation?

I did the color swap with "Color Replacement" in Photoshop, a quick and painless process.

I'm recoloring Ramza for a small modification I am working on and was wondering what most of you vet guys around here think looks best.



I was planning on changing every Ramza (Ch1, Ch2, Ch4) but I'm not sure what I could do with the original one besides a color swap.  I figure the Ch2 one could have armor while the Ch4 one would have armor and a cape.  Any feedback is appreciated.

Yeah, I wish I had a custom-firmware PSP.  My PSP 3000 post Dissidia can't be hacked.

Whoa, is this for real?  I had no idea they already had PSP emulators!

You don't steal the codes because if anyone bought those cards they would not function and they would be getting ripped off and it would be a pain in the ass for them to get a refund.
