I was wanting to play around and create a couple of side quest and started to compare the space in attack.out with events in evsp. I searched the forum and found comments regarding an issue, but didn't quite have full clarity on it.
Namely, that attack.out jumps from 18E/18F underground limberry straight to the tutorial. Easyvent editor shows the random battle template, one free space, game over event, then 6 free events and finally the tutorial events. (The numbering between these two editors go off the rails at this point.) Should I assume these 6/7 events are unusable? (or can be meddled with in a different manner).
I have heard that the spaces at the end of the attack.out (1E0 to 1F3) are unusable as well. (related to the 10 empty space at the end of EVSP?)
On a related note- the tutorials themselves are un-editable correct? In the FFT-Lion War thread Elric mentions this and I was curious.
Currently, I am under the impression that the best (only?) way to make space for things is to start fusing events with their own setup events. I would probably start with the regular side quest as that sounds like it would require the least restructuring. Or at least I would think because they have their own variables and don't up the story progress variable....
The only question I can answer there is that the Tutorial is not editable at this point, and you should just stay away from it completely :P
At a certain point in Xif attack.out GUI the numbers go from +1 (since the editor is off by 1) to +10 due to some event space that was unusable but not accounted for. This was fixed in Ravens editor. I can make you a attack.out dump to use in Ravens editor if you post your attack.out here. Also when I get off work I'll let you know exactly what spaces it was that are not usable.
Sorry it look so long CONMAN, here is that list
GUI ID -> ACTUAL SLOT ID
18B -> 18C
18C -> 18D
18D -> 18E
18E -> 18F
18F -> 19A
190 -> 19B
191 -> 19C
192 -> 19D
193 -> 19E
194 -> 19F
195 -> 1A0
196 -> 1A1
197 -> 1A2
198 -> 1A3
199 -> 1A4
19A -> 1A5
19B -> 1A6
19C -> 1A7
19D -> 1A8
19E -> 1A9
In the first blue line, you can see a jump of 11 slots, these slots are unusable, and the rest of the blue ones are the tutorial, which are also unusable. The rest should be okay
Thanks a bunch for sorting that out Elric!
