Greetings everyone, been a while. The hacking bug has grabbed me again and going to start another something on WotL. Less in scope than my previous failed attempts.
I do remember having massive issues with tactext for WotL, and Eternal sent me one of his that had most of the extraneous data like the sound novels etc. removed so you had a bit of space to work with, does anyone happen to have this file? My old data was all corrupted so I don't trust my old tactext, plus I have no idea what all my changes were so would like to start fresh.
Also is the list of unused sprites correct for the WotL version, I remember discovering a few issues with that last time.
Please and thanks to all who help.
Yeah, that's cute... except sound novels are in a file of their own, so all removing does is increase the size of your generated PPF. WLDMES is split in independent sections, so deleting a section does not free up for another. Most other files should be toyable with to have more space useable, but good luck finding anything other than bits of japanese text here and there.
Yep. The main thing I'm working on for Jot5 are the replacements for Rumors and Propositions in the bar, and even though Elric cleared a whopping two megabytes of unused text out of WLDMES, my 0.08 MB of text for the Ch. 1 rerelease made Tactext cry and fail to work. Xif had to code the game to load bar text differently and Elric had to separate my stuff out across the various bars of Ivalice to get around that.

They are the same. The new classes weren't added in the traditional way.
