Hacking/Patching Tools / Re: Choto's Tools

Congratulations on a huge first effort at writing a complete application in C#.

I don't know if I can contribute anything worthwhile, but I did have an idea that goes like this (and maybe it can start the conversation)...

--

"Two Lucavi Walk Into a Bar..." (a.k.a Biggs and Wedge Walk Into a Bar)

Biggs and Wedge, both lucavi, are seen walking and talking, brazenly heading through the entrance up to the bar. (Maybe the people drinking there are those 4 people?)

Wedge: "But I don't think anything will really happen."

Biggs: "Yeah, it's not likely at all."

The Bartender (human) hesitates to do anything, being practically accosted by the two demons.

Biggs: "Pour us a drink!"

The Bartender, scared, slowly turns his back to them.

Biggs: "And don't even think about mixing it with holy water, punk."

The Bartender's intention caught, he ventures to ask what they're doing there. No dialogue, just motions from him. Poor guy doesn't even have a name.

Biggs: "'What are we doing here?' What are WE doing here!? Do you believe this guy, Wedge?"

Wedge: "Hey, human. You know what happened to our usual place?"

The Bartender shakes his head.

Wedge: "He doesn't know, Biggs. He's about as thoughtless as the guy who EXPLODED Cuchulainn!"

Biggs: "What an inconsiderate ass this guy is! That was our bartender's son, you freak!"

Wedge: "All he does now is drink and cry."

Biggs: "Won't pour so much as a damn shot."

The Bartender motions that it wasn't him who did it.

Biggs: "You didn't do it? Wedge, get a load of this guy!"

Wedge: "Hey, buddy. You practically helped that prick do it! We know all about those proposals you were always giving him. You practically funded a hate crime!"

Biggs: "That's real sick, man. Don't bartenders have any kind of brotherhood?"

Meanwhile, the 4 people who were already drinking there slowly start to move position to behind the two demons. One of them accidentally bumps something and makes a noise, drawing attention. The 4 quickly pretend nothing happened, like the game, "Stop and Go", where someone tries to catch you moving after turning their head around.

Wedge: "You hear that, Biggs? Am I going crazy? I want that beer right now, bartender!"

The 4 eventually make it within range, knocking the demons out with, wait for it, metal bars.

This is not official, but this is how I interpreted the original thread (including the official prize shifts of 1st/2nd place to 2nd/3rd place winners for portraits and sprite concepts as provided by Lijj and Kagebunji, respectively) and the posts in this thread.


  • First Place (Diethe):

    • A grand prize winner-designed event (by Xifanie).

    • Custom portrait #1 (by Lijj; source: link).

    • Custom portrait #2 (by Mobius; source: link).

    • Inclusion in a joint top 3 winner-designed event (by Elric).


  • Second Place (Jumza):

    • A portrait-style avatar (by Lijj).

    • A sprite concept for the portrait-style avatar (by Kagebunji).

    • Inclusion in a joint top 3 winner-designed event (by Elric).


  • Third Place (Lijj):

    • A portrait-style avatar (by himself; a process known as "lijjception").

    • A sprite concept for the portrait-style avatar (by Kagebunji).

    • Inclusion in a joint top 3 winner-designed event (by Elric).





Elric, Xifanie, Kagebunji, Lijj and Mobius have each generously offered their talents towards prizes for this competition! To the 1st place winner will go a custom-designed event with custom portraits for the sprites used* and to each of the 2nd and 3rd place winners will go custom portrait-style avatars done by Lijj as well as sprite concepts done by Kagebunji. In addition to all those, Elric has offered to create a custom event as a collective effort to be designed by our top three winners! I hope the sprites in the contest are even half as amazing as the prizes being offered! Thank you all for your contributions! ...I think I've pretty much lost any logical way to describe all of these by now. @_@ If I get any more prizes to add I'm just going to make it a bullet-point list. -_-;;
* - some restrictions may apply, offer not valid on all planets, no purchase necessary


So, Diethe needs to do the following: (1) design an event script (to be forwarded to Xifanie; technical restrictions: no custom sprites?, no custom maps, no EVTCHR work, and other restrictions may apply; heart of offer: "The custom event can be written by the winner, and I'll make it come to life."), (2) pick a character for a custom portrait (to be forwarded to Lijj), (3) pick another character for a custom portrait (to be forwarded to Mobius), and (4) help design the joint event script (to be forwarded to Elric).

Jumza needs to do the following: (1) pick a character (to be forwarded to Lijj and Kagebunji; done: link) and (2) help design the joint event script (to be forwarded to Elric).

Lijj needs to do the following: (1) pick a character (to be forwarded to himself and Kagebunji)? and (2) help design the joint event script (to be forwarded to Elric).
44
I think I understand what's going on now. Contrary to how many prizes I'm walking away with, none of my entries actually won anything in the contest. :P Lijj offered a consolation portrait, and I definitely want that of the Bomb Lord concept. While I'm at it, congratulations to the actual winners!
45
Is there really? Is it available at a link? In that case, I'd like a portrait of a horse (a replacement for the ever-popular, ever-copyrighted chocobo). I may drool to death if there really is a bomb lord sprite already totally done, though.
46
Thanks for running the contest, and good luck.
47
For real? Thanks, man. Then I request a portrait for this sprite concept: Bomb Lord.
48
Hey, hey. Cut him a break. He was voting for his alter-ego, Smash!

Also, it's crunch time for voting!

Ovelia looks like she's 'bout to rob a bank then drop a hot rap track about her and her crew, Heavy-A, grinding that street up, tryin' a' keep off them koopas' radars. Mushroom Kingdom ain't no joke.
50
I know, right? More entries. Chop, chop.

Ideas I didn't do but might be worth doing:

  • Zalbag as the Prince of Persia (SNES).

  • Reis as the dragon from Bubble Bobble (Arcade).

  • Boco (the chocobo) as a member of the Angry Birds (PC).

  • Funeral as the creepy old librarian from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Sega Saturn).

  • Olan as the Pagemaster (SNES).

  • Mustadio as the old-school technology savvy stand-in savior of The World Ends with You (Nintendo DS).

  • Agrias as the uppity sword girl from Magical Drop (SNES).

Maybe I should join this spriting jazz....


Yes, you should! We are still at least missing Reis, Agrias, Mustadio, Olan, Meliadoul, Rafa, and Malak of the named ones on the heroes side.

Beowulf Cadmus: Defense Attorney
     Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Nintendo DS)

Judge's Chambers


February 5, 10:05 AM, Bremondt Freitberg (Prosecutor) alleges that Reis Duelar, in the form of a dragon, is guilty of "Grand Theft Holy Stone", demanding the plaintiff be locked up in Prosecutor Freitberg's Private Prison.

February 5, 10:10 AM, the prosecution presents the "Aquarius Holy Stone" into the Court Record.

February 5, 10:12 AM, Prosecutor Freitberg pushes a motion for the judge to immediately sentence the defendant to imprisonment due to a lack of any clear opposition from the defendant. In response to this, the defendant pleads: "RAWR!"

February 5, 10:15 AM, Judge Alazlam begins sentencing Reis Duelar, taking the RAWR defense into account. Until...

February 5, 10:16 AM, Beowulf Cadmus heroically storms into the room, shouting, "HOLD IT!"

February 5, 10:18 AM, Beowulf Cadmus presents a motion to the judge. The motion is for Defense Attorney Cadmus to represent the defendant, Reis Duelar. The defendant is heard to comment: "Rawr."

February 5, 10:20 AM, Defense Attorney Cadmus joins the defendant's bench.

February 5, 10:25 AM, Prosecutor Freitberg, noticeably perturbed, calls his first witness, Aliste Rosenheim, a member of the Gryphon Knights.

February 5, 10:27 AM, Aliste Rosenheim testifies that he witnessed Reis Duelar stealing the Aquarius Holy Stone. The defendant is heard to say: "RAWR!"

February 5, 10:30 AM, Prosecutor Freitberg claims that this statement is incontrovertible proof of the defendant's guilt.

February 5, 10:31 AM, Beowulf Cadmus is heard to scream: "OBJECTION! Cancer!" The witness is noted to begin to sweat profusely.

February 5, 10:32 AM, Prosecutor Freitberg retorts with an "OBJECTION!" to the objection.

February 5, 10:35 AM, Defense Attorney Cadmus proceeds to explain Aliste Rosenheim's medical condition and the man's honor-obsessed desire to face off against his former captain, Beowulf Cadmus! Prosecutor Freitberg is observed to pull at his own mustache in anger.

February 5, 10:40 AM, the witness refuses to admit to the defense's allegations, claiming instead that his former captain was in on the theft, smuggly claiming that it was his word against the former captain's.

February 5, 10:42 AM, Defense Attorney Cadmus is witnessed to again scream: "OBJECTION! Cancer!"

February 5, 10:43 AM, Defense Attorney Cadmus moves the "Cancer Holy Stone" into the Court Record.

February 5, 10:44 AM, it is observed that the new evidence begins to react with Reis Duelar, returning her to human being form.

February 5, 10:47 AM, Reis Duelar takes the stand. The first witness and the prosecution are observed to sweat profusely and ostentatiously pull at their facial hair respectively.

February 5, 10:50 AM, Reis Duelar testifies that the evidence against her was actually an heirloom given to her by her grandmother as a birthday present years ago. She goes on to insinuate that Prosecutor Freitberg is "just obsessed with me."

February 5, 10:52 AM, Prosecutor Freitberg is observed to pull at his facial hair until his body splits into two, revealing himself to be the dark dragon, Syneugh!

February 5, 10:55 AM, Beowulf Cadmus faces the prosecution's bench and shocks both the prosecutor and Aliste into submission.

February 5, 11:00 AM, Judge Alazlam declares the defendant, Reis Duelar, not guilty.

February 5, 11:02 AM, Beowulf Cadmus and Reis Duelar being to exit the judge's chambers. Until...

February 5, 11:05 AM, the caretaker of the Nevleska Temple is observed dragging a smouldering pile of robotics into the judge's chambers. He is further observed to allege that Beowulf Cadmus and an accomplice, Ramza Beoulve, are both equally guilty of "Willful Destruction of Temple Property".

February 6, 9:00 AM, Beowulf Cadmus and Ramza Beoulve enter lock-up with the criminal mercenary, Goffard Gaffgarion. It is observed to be a very long 30-day sentence for both Beowulf Cadmus and Ramza Beoulve.

Alma's expression behind bars is surprisingly convincing. Adramelk looks awesome.
54
Ahaha, the storm troopers. You just planned 5 years in advance for this competition (FFTA characters are in the official rules). Also unrelated, I really hope someone makes a Star Wars SRPG using sprites for ships, troops, etc.

Alma was the last one I had planned. Thanks to those of you who have commented on them.

Pretty Soldier Sailor Alma
Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon (Arcade)


Today on Sailor Moon, we meet a mysterious new transfer student, but, the night before, there were really bright lights in the sky! Could the new transfer student actually be an alien from the Nega-verse? What's a girl to do when she has to choose between a quiet school life and fighting evil? Can the Sailor Scouts get to the bottom of this? Stick around! See what happens when Sailor Moon returns~!

Mobile Suit BYBLOS
Gundam Wing: Endless Duel (SNES)


With high expectations, human beings leave Earth to begin a new life in space colonies. However, the United Earth Sphere Alliance gains great military powers and soon seizes control of one colony after another in the name of "Justice" and "Peace". The year is After-Colony 195, Operation Meteor. In a move to counter the alliance's tryanny, rebel citizens of certain colonies schemed to bring new arsenals to the Earth, disguising them as shooting stars. However, the alliance headquarters catches on to this operation.

In anticipation of Operation Meteor, the reclusive Professor Elidibus, in league with the shadow organization, the Organization of the Zodiac (OZ), developed a powerful anti-mobile suit weapon, the Zodiac Engine, as part of the dark op, Operation Midlight. However, the weapon was unsuited to existing models of mobile units. In response to this, the OZ-16MSX-ZE model, code-named "THE BYBLOS", was created.

This new mobile suit was designed to protect the Zodiac Engine it would soon house with an array of deadly close-range attachments. As production of the mobile suit neared completion, the Zodiac Engine was installed in the prototype Byblos. Tragedy struck; the Zodiac Engine introduced critical interference with the Byblos' systems, severely altering the pilot's mental state, introducing an extreme sense of paranoia in the pilot towards the Organization. The entire base where the Byblos was being manufactured was destroyed before the pilot forcibly removed the Zodiac Engine from the mobile suit and fled the scene.

There are rumors that the elusive Professor Elidibus escaped this catastrophe, retreating to one of his many underground facilities where he may still reside today.

@Diethe: Those look beyond amazing. Totally professional.

  Worker 8 as Gato
   From Chrono Trigger








The year was 1994. An open audition was held for the coveted spot of "Interactive Karaoke Robot" in an excitingly-titled new game produced by Square: "Chrono Trigger". Worker 8 applied. However, according to the director of the game, Worker 8's performance was "too mechanical" for the game, and so Worker 8 didn't get the part.

A year later, Worker 8 witnessed the release of this game only to find the outrageous Gonzales (appearing under a stage name, "GATO") had gotten the part. Throwing a long-empty beer bottle at his 12" TV, Worker 8 couldn't help but see red. He vowed then and there to take his revenge on the company that had wronged him.

It was at this point that he heard a voice. At first, he attributed it to the copious amounts of tequila he had consumed, but the voice intimated itself to him as "Cheraub". In exchange for his mortal soul, Cheraub promised to grant Worker 8 the power to exact revenge on Square. Worker 8's decision-making circuits, on the fritz from all the alcohol, decided he literally had nothing to lose, so he made the deal with Cheraub.

Cheraub, upon trying to possess Worker 8's soul, quickly realized that the deal was not made in good faith. Angry, Cheraub transformed Worker 8 into a potent killing machine, equipping Worker 8 with the height of 1990's technology -- lasers -- and firmly embedded itself (in the form of the Zodiac stone, Aquarius) into Worker 8's chest cavity. However, instead of allowing Worker 8 to exact revenge on Square, Cheraub used deception to get Worker 8 a miniscule, yet damning, part in one of Square's new games: "Final Fantasy Tactics".

Square placed Worker 8 in a forgotten corner of Ivalice, and very few people ever meet the poor, hate-consumed robot on their travels. The rest is history.

Help! / Re: Help! Trying to extract Chocobo.

Scroll down to the bullet point that has the chocobo animation in the first post; read that sentence.

Scroll up to the section that says "Preview Area". Read the 5th bullet point. For reference, "Active Frames" means what animation is looping over and over on your screen. You will want to have an animation that is only one frame long.
