Title: Altering the main story's dialogue.
Post by: ClarkSammich on September 19, 2009, 07:19:03 am
Hey, this is my first time posting here, so sorry if this has been beaten to death in the past. I used the search function, but didn't find a thread addressing my question.

Basically, I downloaded FFTactText to mess with the names of abilities, etc just for fun, which I seem to be able to do just fine. However, I also wanted to edit a lot of the dialogue in the game to make it a bit more reader-friendly, but can't find any of it in the FFTactText lists.
So, is it possible for me to view and edit it with this tool, or will I need something else?

Thanks.

you need the "event decompiler/recompiler" thats available for download on the main page

Actually, one more question: How do I get/create test.evt? Didn't see any information on that in the thread.

you have to extract it out of your game with something like cd mage

guys, its really guess work when you're first starting. but i saw some stranges spaces in your event that werent in the original so  i was wondering how your decompile settings are set up compared to mine. perhaps ill send you a copy of my config file so well be on the same page

but im at work right now it will be later
