Title: Patching Graphic Gale, Shishi Sprite Editor & CD mage
Post by: badstapp on November 04, 2014, 06:02:30 pm
Hi, i used those 3 programs plus gimp to edit most of all sprites in my project, i exported the files with cd mage,
editted "unit" and "walace" with graphic gale and imported again to the iso, and the others with shishi...Ok

1) My iso got really big, is there way to patch the "Shishi Sprite editor" files?
2) And the Graphic gale's, is there way? To sum up i wanted all patches so nobody should download my iso

FFTactext and FFTPatcher got patches Ok, i need to upload to have people testing, my folder got 1.04gb...

3) Will everybody have to download my iso, if there are no way of patching? All those files are needed for anyone
wanting to test (or play the final project) my iso with shishi, gale, files (and FFTorgasm also)? (one of them is the same size of the iso)

4) What is the best (or easier xD) program to edit in-game conversations (The history, the text i know it's the FFtactext xD)? It generates a patch?

Your iso size wont change much from what it originally is, once you are done you will make it into a PPF which will include all the changes between your iso and a vanilla (unedited ISO).  These PPF files are generally quite small, as they ONLY include the changes, and are patched to a vanilla ISO.

Xifanie made a tutorial for it here:

You can create a .ppf file using PPF-Studio, that people can patch to their FFT Image using ppf-o-matic.

All the conversation that takes place during events is editable using EasyVent Editor. Should be in the "Event Editing" section.

it follows the same terms as ppf-o-matic?

So i change everything i want, then simple create a ppf file and patch the iso with ppf-o-matic? OK

Thanks all, sorry for late, started in a new job, less time now, but thanks a lot

No, the events are compiled to the TEST.EVT with EasyVent, then you reimport the TEST.EVT to the ISO.

You don't make a PPF for your own testing, you only make a PPF when you are ready to distribute your mod.
