Title: Adding Ajora's Portrait to the Brave Story Menu?
Post by: Timbo on July 07, 2012, 02:25:04 pm
It bugs me that they dummied out her portrait in the Brave Story Menu. The picture is still there in Wldface.bin. Is there any way to put it back?

Thanks for the quick reply but you are not understanding what I mean.
If you open up the main menu from the map screen and go into the Brave Story menu, then select Person, the game will give you a written description of the important characters in the game. Ajora doesn't have a portrait, because you never actually meet him/her. This has always irritated me, because we as a society have a collective image of what Mary looked like, despite that fact that none of us have actually met her.
I've included a picture of the portrait for her in wldface.bin. All I want to know is how to make it show up when you read the description of Ajora in the Brave Story menu?

That is a very good question. Pride knows some stuff about how the bravestory works, so he may be the one to ask.

If you open up the brave story in tactext (Ajora is in the 3rd bio set) you'll notice that she (he... who knows) is missing a {0xEC??} at the start of her brave story, this controls what portrait appears for each brave story. I don't know the order besides just trail and error, its probably the order in Wldface.bin but I've never tried or tested.
Example
{0xEC00} {Ramza} Beoulve (Age:{0xE4}){Newline} Knight apprentice of the Gariland Academy.{Newline} Originally from Igros. Beoulve {SP}family is {SP}a well{Newline} respected family, producing many leaders for the{SP}Hokuten{Newline} Knights. Insecure because he feels he is not on level{SP}with{Newline} his older siblings.
{0xEC16} Cloud (Age:?){Newline} A young man summoned from a different{Newline} dimension by a machine called, the{SP}"Transmission{Newline} Machine". This old generation machine {SP}was found {SP}by{Newline} Machinist Besrodio, {SP}in the {SP}underground mine {SP}number 83{Newline} in the city of Goug. He may be {SP}affected by {SP}the{Newline} transmission, but he mumbles, "My{SP}head..." or{SP}"...phiros...".{Newline} Different {SP}from what {SP}he imagined {SP}battles to {SP}be,{Newline} defected from the front lines.
Ajora Glabados{Newline} Born around 12 {SP}centuries ago, {SP}in Bervenia {SP}of Lesalia.{Newline} Raised in Milodos. Spoke of the arrival of a kingdom of a{Newline} higher source, as feelings of antipathy grew from{SP}Father{Newline} Fara. {SP}Executed {SP}as {SP}a {SP}traitor {SP}by the {SP}Holy Empire {SP}of{Newline} Yudora. {SP}Soon {SP}after,the {SP}capital of {SP}the Church {SP}of Fara{Newline} became submerged under sea, by an extraordinary natural{Newline} phenomenon.{Newline} Those disciples of {SP}Ajora believed {SP}this was {SP}his miracle,{Newline} and these stories spread, and {SP}the Glabados {SP}Church{Newline} became what it is today.

Oh, that is marvelously easy. Thanks Pride. Hers is 8C by the way. I can't believe I've never thought to look at tactext for this before. I've been unwilling to use Simon and Balmafula's unit.bin and wldface.bin entries for fear of messing up their Brave Story sections. I'm willing to bet I can move Teta, Simon, and Balmafula's faces and use their unit.bin/wldface.bin entries for 3 more classes. :lol:
