Quote from: Jaylo on Yesterday at 09:59:52 amIs there a problem with Balthier's Barrage ability when used with Secret Hunt?
I am getting two poached messages when a poach occurs with strikes 1-3 and the game seems to "stop" if a poach occurs on strike 4.
I say "stop" and not "freeze" because the music still plays and the unit animations are still working but there is no ui and the game doesn't continue.

Great discovery, thank you.

So, after some investigation, it turns out that behind the scenes, the Poach/Train checks run before the Barrage formula reduces the damage of the ability, due to the way the formula is set up. This means it can think it's reaching the target damage range only to turn out that the damage was reduced OUT of that range, but it's already been set to trigger Poach/Train.

There are probably ways to fix that up for the formula specifically, but the code for the poach/train routine was very unoptimized and it was a lot faster to just add in a check to block the Barrage ability ID before even taking the time to figure out what the problem actually was.

If you have the OrgASM program from the TLW resources (or just the FFTPatcher Suite), you can add this to your FFTPatcher > XmlPatches > PSX folder and apply it to the game.

So I have really only nodded pc games and never nodded any old school games before so not entirely sure how this works.

Am I able to use more than 1 mod on a game?

What are some recommended mods to use? Always looking for more content mods or just quality of life mods that make your life easier.

I thought I needed the resource pack along with the PPF, turns I was overthinking the whole time 

Mods you can close this thread

Isn't patching Remixed just a PPF? Just use PPF-O-Matic on a clean rom.

Hello friends.

Here is a tutorial on how to event edit in FFT using Juravis, a relatively new tool.

I have been trying to learn both emulating and patching emulations for the last 5-6 hours. I am trying to install FFT ReMixed but am having issues when trying to replace the TEST.EVT through CDmage B5. I keep getting "cannot create temporary folder" and am not sure how to proceed since it seems like the first step in making sure the patch is applied properly. If anyone could give me a real dumbed down step by step guide I would really appreciate it. I was super excited when reading about these in depth mods of a game I really love but the learning curve is a little steep for me.

Much appreciated in advance

Well it's cool to hear it is still in the works. I found another bug. On real hardware using a Terraonion M.O.D.E. the Nanai's histories sound novel freezes the game at the point where Tango reaches for his wife's arm. Went through it twice. Flat out freeze requiring a hard reset.

sometimes it glitches during the first cutscene in the final battle of ultima where the screen will go black and not load the whole thing and gets stuck there but it usually gets fixed by reloading the save file, i aint sure if its just me who is encountering these kinds of bugs or glitches tho

Quote from: Argath on May 07, 2024, 06:32:10 amwhen i reached the final battle sometimes it gets glitched and gets stuck, however when reloading the save it fix it but still i hope it gets fixed, im using duckstation too
