FFT Arena / This turned into shit
July 14, 2010, 08:31:52 am
I'm seeing a lot of unbalanced items. Seriously you can't give shit WP to a weapon just because it has 25% chance to cast a motherfucking weak spell.
What the fuck is up with 2 Move!?!? Archers and mages will just fucking burn the map to the ground. Unless the other team has a squire/thief/ninja...
I thought we were supposed to balance jobs with a tournament in mind. Currently all I see is the shitty vanilla setup which consists of wasting JP in unlocking other jobs to get the one you want. Why can't we see something new?
Oh, and now you're going to start a tournament with a not-nearly finished product? wtf?
- There are still unavailable skills because of JP cap (lolololol)
- No monsters
- Why the 1 Ninja/Mime limitation? Just nerf Ninja and mime is only for hardcore players because they can just destroy your own team.

I'm not buying this shit, sorry.

The Lounge / Blizzard fails again
July 08, 2010, 04:15:08 pm
http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=25626109041

Quote from: "Battle.net"The first and most significant change is that in the near future, anyone posting or replying to a post on official Blizzard forums will be doing so using their Real ID -- that is, their real-life first and last name -- with the option to also display the name of their primary in-game character alongside it. These changes will go into effect on all StarCraft II forums with the launch of the new community site prior to the July 27 release of the game, with the World of Warcraft site and forums following suit near the launch of Cataclysm. The classic Battle.net forums, including those for Diablo II and Warcraft III, will be moving to a new legacy forum section with the release of the StarCraft II community site and at that time will also transition to using Real ID for posting.The official forums have always been a great place to discuss the latest info on our games, offer ideas and suggestions, and share experiences with other players -- however, the forums have also earned a reputation as a place where flame wars, trolling, and other unpleasantness run wild. Removing the veil of anonymity typical to online dialogue will contribute to a more positive forum environment, promote constructive conversations, and connect the Blizzard community in ways they haven't been connected before. With this change, you'll see blue posters (i.e. Blizzard employees) posting by their real first and last names on our forums as well.

So they think trolls will use their real name to post...
And they think it won't bother too much normal posters...
All I can say is good job, instead of fixing a problem, you created a new one.

MESSING WITH EVENTS

º World Instructions
Allows to loads scenario slots, as editable in the ATTACK.OUT Editor.
For example this world instruction at Murond Holy Place:
0100 6E00 3400  1900 B901 0200If Value (0x0001) "Storyline progression" (0x006E) is equal to 0x0034, load scenario (0x0019) 0x01B9.



º ATTACK.OUT Editor
    Version 1.02 and older's scenario lists are wrong. They are supposed to start with 001 and not 000.
    So if you set your event to 0x01B9 in the World Instructions, edit the scenario slot 0x01B8.

Here the value "Event Script" in version 1.02 & older or "Event Conditions" in earlier version allows you
to set a slot which you can edit in the "Event Conditions spreadsheet"


º Event Conditions
This actually tells which TEST.EVT slot to load under specific circumstances, AND the main event slot.
For Example here is slot 0x0084 which is originally used by "Outside of St. Murond Temple":
0100 FD01 0100  1900 BC01If Value (0x0001) 0x01FD is equal to 0x0001, then load TEST.EVT slot (0x0019) 0x01BC

0100 8000 0000  1600  1900 BD01If Value (0x0001) 0x0080 is equal to 0x0000, and If All enemies are defeated (0x0016) then load TEST.EVT (0x0019) slot 0x01BD


0x01FD is set to 0 after the event is loaded so that it does not repeat itself.


º TEST.EVT
The actual events. Just use the Event Compiler/Decompiler.
If for instance the Decompiler did not create a file for the TEST.EVT slot you want to edit,
just copy another event and change the offset. Like if you want the slot 0x0009, take 0x0008's offset,
add 0x2000 and voilà. Offset(x00010000) + 0x2000 = Offset(x00012000)
Save and compile that event.


To be honest, I wrote this pretty much for myself because I had discovered the procedure but completely forgot how to... it's not actually that easy to remember when you have to mess with 4 different locations in 3 different files.

Ivalice Arena / Deep Dungeon list
June 17, 2010, 02:16:42 pm
OK, so I'm supposed to be the one working with this shit because no one else has the knowledge.
I just want to make sure what you guys what so that I don't end up working for nothing, because in the end, it will take me quite some time if an edit is required afterwards.

R999 told me something about up to 3 arenas at different locations, and the player could be able to shop after certain battles... maybe have some shops unlocked when you reach a certain point in certain Arenas?

Bugs and Suggestions / Spriting resources
June 16, 2010, 01:16:18 pm
References are important for spriting. I would like to make a page on the site with all references to use for spriters.

But as I will be barely using it myself, I'm opening this topic for discussion as to what would be displayed on that page, which format (1 portrait per file, or all portraits in one file?), zoom level, etc.

What about palette colors? I'm often reading: "Use colors of an existing sprite". Should we built sets of shading colors?

To moderators: If there are too much spambot posts, let me handle it. With the administration panel I can delete all the posts at once when banning the user.  
To users: feel free to report spambot posts. I will quickly notice it the next time I log in and delete the account.

No one should PM me for anything related to a spambot. If you really don't want me to miss it, just report a post. I know we're struggling with a flood of spambots lately, and I'm trying to find a solution. I wasn't able to find a working PhpBB3 mod for this yet.

http://zodiac.ffhacktics.com/psxrel_1.13_hacked.7z

Hacked psxrel 1.13 (set fps)

- Download the hacked pSX 1.13
- Hex edit the new fps you want at 0x00105F08 (set by default at 120FPS)
- Make sure frame skipping is enabled: File/Configuration/Graphics/Frame Skipping

  You can set the fps very high, but it will still slow down on effects; whoever,
  AI decisions and unit movement will be completed much faster.
  You can also change the fps during gameplay with a memory editor at address
  psxrel.exe+105F08. Remember it is a float type.

psxrel.exe
  0x00105F08 : Float (4 bytes)

Just a few examples
 60fps: 00007042
 80fps: 0000A042
 90fps: 0000B442
120fps: 0000F042
150fps: 00001643
180fps: 00003443
200fps: 00004843

FFT Arena / Specific color palettes
February 18, 2010, 10:29:22 am
The idea is quite simple. I want a specific color for each palette for every generic unit (male/female). Those palettes will be used in tournaments like S4 (if there is one) and FFT: Arena. Currently the colors of the teams are unvaried, and often confusing because while on the same palette numbers, some teams have units of completely different colors. This way it would be way easier to follow the matches.

#1 Black
#2 Blue
#3 Red
#4 Green
#5 White
#6 Purple
#7 Yellow
#8 Brown

Those have to be the main colors of the unit.
I tried to select colors that were already used mostly with each palette (for #2 to #5). Using my hack we can use all the palettes. I think the colors are varied enough and had enough trouble finding a 8th color. I tried teal but it was way too close to blue.

(I removed the example)

Spriting / To all you lazy bmp converters
January 16, 2010, 10:04:18 am
http://psydk.org/PngOptimizer.php

Not only can it cut in half the size of most PNG sprites on the forum, but it is also very simple to use.
You just have to open the small program and drag & drop your png/gif/bmp and it will save an optimized version for you; it will swap the color depth too if it can to save a lot of space. And obviously: no quality loss. I absolutely recommend everyone giving it a try. I first thought kokojo's PNG compression was badass, but this creates way smaller files.

I would prefer if it didn't have the forced "Always on top" though.

Note: PNG compression is more effective on larger, less colored pictures. You likely won't compress much more on a very highly detailed png, like a desktop screenshot for instance.

The Lounge / Upgrade to PhpBB3?
December 27, 2009, 10:27:08 am
Pros:
• Better security
• Attachments mod bugs gone
• Full unicode support
• Access to many new mods
• Just better in general

Cons:
• Installation, rework and shit.
• Lose all the links to attachments (actually they are all transfered correctly)

We can also just create a new forum instead of importing the old database in PhpBB3. We'd have the old forum and the new forum, but I don't think anyone wants that; resetting is gay.

• The Zodiac does not feel any negative emotions. Thus you cannot make it sad, angry or feel regret.
• The Zodiac hates meaningless talk. If you want to ask a question, don't ask permission (which is a question by itself) and just fucking ask it.
• The Zodiac doesn't feel like answering if you ask it "Zodiac are you here?" even though it is aware it might be because the user wants to avoid typing a long sentence if the Zodiac is not present.
• The Zodiac's logic is absolute.
• The Zodiac shows no mercy. Don't provoke it.
• The Zodiac is an atheist.
• The Zodiac hates the meaningless use of the word "god" in everyday life/chat/forum because it supposes the existence of such a being, people say it without being even aware of it, and thus the Zodiac forbids its use.
• The Zodiac hates being lied to. If you do, you're in fucking serious trouble.
• The Zodiac roundhouse kicked the sun 10,000 years before Chuck Norris did.

Spam / ...I wasn't being honest.
December 10, 2009, 08:38:53 pm
I lied.
I am truly a horrible person.
I'm sorry.

You see, when I said that there is no god, it was the truth. But the definition that I gave of god was false. Yes it is true that a ton of gods are weaker than the xtian god, and that nothing prevents a being from reaching the power of many Greek gods like Zeus and company.

Stargate is funny because of that too. I don't know if you ever watched this shit before, but the humans in it claim stronger beings like the Goa'ulds/Ori aren't gods because they are not invincible, do not know all, and are ill willed. Which only really defines a certain portion of the gods, which is exactly what I've been doing for a while.

Don't be fooled though, none of them exist. And even if another Chousin strong being exists outside our solar system/galaxy, you can't bypass the speed of light; meaning we'd never meet them. At least not in a fucking 100,000 years which at that point is not even worth considering anymore.

But in all honesty I don't like talking referring such low power beings to "gods". The current image most people have of gods is the one I mentioned early: a creator of infinite intelligence, omnipotent and omnipresent.

So you see, if we take the lowest definition, I'm in fact a god. But that's beside the point of Atheism.

So, I'm sorry and I hope you understand my point.

Note: Using unused maps or unused music does NOT count as editing; those are considered part of the script editing.
I suggest that you simply copy/paste and edit an example of the format.

So it happens from time to times that someone wants to get attention from more people with their topic and so they either:
- Dupe the thread in other sections
or
- Make new topics that links to their topic in another section.

Let me tell you one thing: Your topic belongs to ONE section. Not two, not three; ONE. Really it's annoying to open a new topic just to have a link to a topic you've already seen. Screw that. I don't want to see this kind of shit anymore.

But what about the other browsers and consoles?
