That would be great Vanya. . . I salute you in ur reorganization effort. . . I too should follow ur efforts in reorganizing my threads main page. . .

[Cheetah]

Vanya I'm telling you I have it already. Just give me a few days and I will see if I can find the last of the missign stuff. You would just be redoing a lot of work, especially since some of my previously posted info is outdated/incorrect.

[Vanya]

Oh, right, Duh! Ok! I'll be waiting in anticipation! ^_^

[Zozma]

this topic so deserved more attention, but i dont think enough ppl understand it.

somethings missing... but what exactly? something with the unit placement screen?

[Vanya]

I guess we'll see soon enough when Cheetah finishes compiling his data.

[jimmyjw88]

About the unuse sprite slots, how many are there actually? In WLDFACE.bin, there are some unknown portrait, like that black hair and blue robe priest and more. So are those unused have been fully utilised now? I mean with that restructured ISO by that latest Shishi...

[Vanya]

Well, any sprite that doesn't normally join your party is unused. The Black haired Priest (who is Kanbabrif, apparently) is the only one not linked to a sprite. I'm not sure about WLDFACE.bin.

[LastingDawn]

Are you sure you didn't mean Kasanem, Vanya? Also in your theory wasn't that young Simon?

[Vanya]

Kasanem is an unused sprite file. It doesn't have any representation in UNIT.bin. I thought he was refering to the images in Unit.bin.

That was my theory, but I thought I read somewhere that that is the original sprite for Kanbabrif.
Supposedly it shows up in exactly one scene.
Either that or I imagined it all.

[LastingDawn]

Haha, you did... that sprite never shows up in the normal game. But I think he does have a startling similarity to Kasanem, if you look at his sprite in it's original colors.

[Vanya]

Well, I still maintain that kasanem and kasanek are some sort of repository for WIP sprites.

Anyway I had a close look at the priest in kasanem, and he does look similar to the "Young Simon" image, but it is definitely different.
He has the same style of costume as the rest of the priest characters but with seeming differences in palette organization. Also, the hair and mustache are different. He has more of a goatee style with a smaller 'stache.

[Zozma]

Well, any sprite that doesn't normally join your party is unused. The Black haired Priest (who is Kanbabrif, apparently) is the only one not linked to a sprite. I'm not sure about WLDFACE.bin.

well that black haired priest is the only unlinked one, but for me, not anymore i have made full use of the entire unit.bin file

[jimmyjw88]

Oh, so have to edit at the UNIT.bin file? So, we just replace that black haired priest sprite = replaced? Or it doesn't work that way?
Also, is there a way to use those Guest sprites as our own for special units? Like after Gafgarion's betrayal and the his guest's sprite isn't used anymore and we want to use his guest's sprite slot for our own special sprite, is it possible?

[Cheetah]

There is already an Unit.BIN graphic editor made by the Japanese Jimmy, it is on the downloads page I believe. Melonhead was awesome enough to translate it. Other than that I have no idea what you are saying. This topic is about changing the code that is assigning where a character is getting their unit.bin graphic from, editing Unit.BIN itself is easy and already being done.

[Zozma]

hes referring to that specific priest that isnt assigned to any job

but its so easy to change it with all the provided information in this topic

[jimmyjw88]

Ah, sorry about that. I'll go through the posts before asking questions again. Thanks so much and sorry for the troubles. ^^

Have fun scrolling through that. I will try getting it up on the Wiki once it is a bit more organized. So basically the coolest things you can with this is create new Special Characters that should show up correctly everywhere with some reassigning and graphic editing. That's for you Zozma. You have to be careful because some of the data is reading from other areas and you have to make sure to change it all correctly, but it should work quite nicely.

Things missing. There is still some info missing for the Battle Preparation screen, most likely in ATTACK.OUT. Basically you can change the values and do some graphic editing so that you can make anyone look like anyone, but I don't know where the info is that is assigning one value to affect so many different areas. So it would be nice to differentiate where the Spite/Portrait/Palette info is getting pulled from, because in WORLD.BIN there is a clear distinction.

I'm pretty positive about all this info, but tell me if I have made any mistakes or if you find new info.

I'm on it! I'll try adding some special units and report any problems.

Whoa....That's.....LLLOOONNNGGG.....Haha. I'll slowly read through to understand this unit.bin.
