^^ This is the nearest thing I could find. Great sprites, but no portraits and presumably unfinished? So... I'm assuming no but there is no way I want to start a project like this if someone else has done it well already so I'm going to err on the side of caution and ask here.

Wanted to do a Radd replacement as well, but as near as I can tell only two characters (with duplicates) can be added pre mid-chapter 2 without running into issues (39 and 3A), so I'm going to just do Alicia and Lavian.

Expounding on the topic title:

Is it possible to add or edit entries to the "Brave Story"? (world map options menu).

I have entries I want to add there under the characters section.

This may be done under Easyvent, but as that program is a bit more involved than the others and I'm still learning it I wanted to check and see if you do it another way first.

^^ Building on this topic here (I'd have just added to the original message but this is a new topic string so I decided to make a new topic):

Okay, so essentially what I want to do is alter the primary jobs of 3A and 3B to be something other than "Limit" and "None/Blank".

I've seen people add new jobs to the game so I'm presuming its possible, but the larger question for me is rather or not its possible for me to not only add new jobs to the game, but also edit the existing job.

My primary goal in this exercise it to replace the primary jobs of 3a and 3b with other jobs in the game (specifically, "Nightblade" and "All Magic/access to all magic" - or accounting for the possibility that neither of those jobs have job trees that I can actually organically level in the same way as default player jobs, I'd like to replace them with "heaven knight" and "hell knight", respectively).

On that note, a second question:

FFTastic has the ability to assign primary and secondary jobs via the job tree in its save editor, but what job does what is a bit vague - particularly in the 2nd tree (where there are multiple iterations of "summon", for instance).

^^ Is there a list anywhere that tells what each of these options (including the myriad of question marks at the end of the list) governs?

For anyone curious about what I'm trying to do:

I'm essentially trying to replace the "free space" characters that have jobs 3a and 3b (or sprites 39A and 3A depending on how you look at it) with original jobs, battle sprites and formation sprites. With Glain's help I've replaced the formation sprites, battle sprites and portraits with the characters I wanted. Since they are free sprites I also didn't need to modify any of the games original characters (key for me). Now I'm trying to change the default jobs of the unused sprites 3A and 3B so that they can be classes of my choice. I ideally want them to be something of my choice - even generics, maybe. Currently they are the "limit" class (overpowered this early in the game since I have to assign the character the materia blade), and a blank class.

Like the title says:

Is there a list of all the places each character shows up in the game?

I'd like to replace a somewhat minor characters sprite (one that has a battle formation sprite and portrait in FFEVRP) with a generic, opening up that slot for me to add a custom character sprite/portrait/battle formation in their place.

I need to pick a character and identify events/battles they show up in to effectively do this, however.

Are there any resources available to help with this? Alternatively, does anyone with the knowledge have any suggestions of their own?

Long story short I'd like to add Barret/Seph/Aeris/Tifa etc. from here http://ffhacktics.com/sprites.php?spritesperpage=20&show=all into the game.

Using ShiShi I've been able to do a sprite replacement but what I really want to do is add these characters without replacing an existing sprite.

If that isn't possible does anyone have any recommendations on characters that are good replacements (i.e. I can replace the sprite with say, Tifa, and I will only see that person once/not at all in the game?)

Thanks

I got a response to this question in another topic. They said:

you have to change what sprite the character uses in the patcher. there are some free slots in shishi like the ??? spriters. This isn't for this topic either. You should have asked in help.

Chastened, I've come here to ask what the other free spaces there are/what additional tips you have.

Also, could someone link me to the most up to data FF Patcher? Want to make sure I got the right one (Have .478) since I picked the other one up from a google search. ^_^

Thanks.
