Hi everyone,
For the past couple of days I've been mulling over on how to customize the formation screen and in-battle sprites for the War of the Lions (PSP) version of FFT. I've asked help from RavenofRazgriz and fdc here on the forums via IRC, but, call me a neophyte, I absolutely have no idea what I'm doing or what I have at my disposal that is relevant to my efforts.
So far I have these programs downloaded and installed:
FFTPatcher v.0.478
Shishi Sprite Editor v.0478
FFTactext v.0478
FFTOrgASM v.0478
MagicISO
WinHex
GraphicsGale
From what I've read around the forums, the obvious answer is that it's currently not possible to port custom sprites because the spritesheets here on FFH are relatively too big for Shishi to read. Also, from my [inexperienced] efforts, finding the BATTLE.BIN and anything relevant to sprite modding under MagicISO and WinHex is just a bit too difficult for me to comprehend on my own.
I've read Jon's and Celdia's tutorials on how to mod sprites, and I really do want to make this into a reality. Probably not by my hand, but hopefully from someone that has more experience in these matters. Hopefully more efforts in customizing the WotL version in terms of spriting can be put into action, but as of right now I'm exhausted in trying to find ways in doing this myself (in working on this and my own stress IRL).
Thanks for reading! Any help at all will be appreciated.
