FFT Arena / Re: Specific color palettes
November 22, 2011, 12:01:40 pm
The purple palette can go rot in hell (i.e. stop using 05 in the spreadsheet) :P

Speaking of which, the most recent arena.shishi file has the yellow summoner draped in purple clothing, which I'll remedy soon. Iirc, yellow and purple were switched around by accident >.>

Also, anyone like my new Avatar?

Just a tidbit of knowledge via trial and error I did from a while back.

Most Advanced to Least Advanced
Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.X
Pete's OpenGL Driver 1.7X
Pete's D3D Driver 1.7X
Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.7X
P.E.Op.S Soft Driver 1.1X

^, the X is there because I'm not certain if the plugins I have are the most recent ones. If you're curious to see what my settings are, check here under the Alternate Settings if you so desire.

But yeah, just downgrade one level at a time until the slowdown's eliminated <_<

Picture Quality's good. Just the constant slowdown turned me off XP

If that were fixed, you probably could reduce the time by 25-50%, so in this case, the vid could've been 6-9 min long as opposed to 12 had this been remedied. Your computer's not the greatest and/or your settings for your emulator aren't up to par, but I'll let you figure that out :P

Please do so, this is the General forum, not Spam, GS.

Anyways, I've heard that this is even worse than Bill S.978

Here's another Source, which talks about the same thing later in the video iirc.

tl;dw (1st link): If you put up censored content and are caught doing so, you're written up as a felon/criminal :'(

How to Set up FFT Arena


EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That should be titled "How to Set up FFT Arena in shitty picture quality" =X

But yeah, if you want to put it in HD where the letters are much clearer, that'd be great.

And as you probably already know, you can C/P directly from someone's spoiler the team info for each unit that way you don't have to type everything in yourself ;D

PGF's right GS, not everyone has the time nor wants to sprite themselves.

Also, telling someone to go look for tutorials on "how to sprite" so that someone can do it his or herself is not helpful at all. If that were the standard protocol, then that would defeat the purpose of this 58 Page thread.

Think before you submit your posts next time please.

Wow, really? That's pretty crazy that you can notice something like that.


Well, I was a musician who played the Trombone/Euphonium in HS + it's noticeable that the emulator slows down a tad bit (59.99-59.98) so yeah :P

QuoteMy question is...could there be some settings I missed in the emulator that made the sound effects seem off to you?


Oh, I meant as in the pitch of my SFX were off. I think it has to deal with the fact that my sound card's not the greatest.

If you listen to the sword slice that this video projects and compare it to one of my vids, you'll notice that mine has a little ting to it that's not supposed to be there. I use ePSXe, like Voldemort7 does with the exact same Audio Settings for the Sound plugin, which can be found here (He gave those to me).

Chances are, the best course of action I'll be taking is recording the game off of an actual PSX (Disabling the BGM for obvious reasons) using a capture card like the Dazzle.

I've got a ~900 $ HP Pavilion dm4 from a little over a year ago and I'm guessing Arch's got like a $2,000 Mac so that's probably why his is able to capture the sound more accurately + use the more advanced video plugin (Pete's Open GL 2.9 - Not like that makes a difference in Audio Quality).

But yeah, I might be getting a job very soon (currently waiting on the result) and if so, I'll have moolah to be able to buy one and do this with accurate sound then <_<

Huh, Iron boots were sort of a backfire since Dol's focused much of their attention towards the Samurais at first.


Aww, I though Angelus had him in the tiebreaker, but those simple raises going off faster than Bahamut really sealed the deal imo.


Damn, what a massacre that was


6x Slow Dance ftw :O


Seriously, the purple palette, #5, need to go. I was surprised to see Bladewolf's monk not using Earth Slash on that Wizard


Damn, those rounds were long and boring towards the end of each of them. And yeah, a Paladin with a gun doesn't seem like the best of choices to me imo.


To be expected, I designed this and my other team to take down Y U SO DERP. It's kinda the new bar I set for myself: If you can't take out this team whilst beating everyone else in the process (luckily I've done that so far), then you're better off not participating. But that's just me pushing myself. Surprised to see Disillusion and would think it'd be more effective on larger maps. Perhaps a rematch of sorts on the Public Cemetary, VALKYRIES, and Zigolis Swamp? Just a thought


Damn, not enough charm procs were hitting + that Paladin and Scholar really layed the smack down whilst the Oracle Petrified people with Initial:Faith intact.

At home, I have an upload speed of around 100 kB/s so I can reasonably finish such videos over a much shorter period of time.


That's still very slow. You're better off going to your public library and uploading there or another hotspot, which will save you a lot more time. At 20 mbps, I'm able to upload a ~250 MB vid in about 2 min.

Win. :P

Spriting / Re: K-Suto's Map Edits
November 01, 2011, 12:53:19 pm
In an AI setting I know that much (horrible map to fight on imo due to monstrous chokepoint w/ entries to boat from each side), but I'm not sure if it can be used for events/cutscenes.

Lucky me in R1 w/ those two Silence Procs Missing. Same with that Climhazzard proc not going after Dol's Ninja got resurrected. No matter, those Petrifies still proved to be too much for the TM's to deal with due to echo grass. Surprised that 92% (read as 100% due to TM charging) petrify missed. Oh well, guess I deserved that one after dodging silence twice in a row. Good thing that lancer jumped in R2 when the two stacked Demi 2's were casted on him to avoid the damage ^_^


Damn, lots of back and forth up until that Charm proc landing in R3 occured for Vigilanti. Impressive feat between these two!


Nice come back in R2 from Barren there. Then again, once Innocent ran out, the damage output from those monks went down significantly.


Even with an outdated team, Malroth still managed a 2-0 victory despite R2 being somewhat close until those DS procs from Muramasa landed ^^

Btw Barren, Hobbes is pronounced like "Jobs", but with an "H" sound instead of a "J" one :P

^, I believe that's a reference to the creatures you find in Fable >_>


Chew on This had their MP run dry in R1 + the map itself had a divide in it preventing a full-fledge offense like in R2. Mime facing the wrong way also contributed to Trulight's first loss which he could've won had the AI acted intelligent. Even so, PX having Reraise on his Raise 2 Casters was a very good idea.


fdc (Heresy) vs Wiz (Law & Order) Prediction - I think my team will have its first official loss since those monks can snipe just as well and they're faster with Haste. They have Cachusha preventing me from using Kiku and forcing me to rely on Chiri Spam to obtain victory. If I can hold of long enough until the innocents wear off maybe I'll have a chance at coming back. We'll see.

Ugh, just listened to the SFX Bowser Koopa and they're off in pitch + a tad slow (as in it's not constantly running at 60 FPS and sometimes drops down to 59.99). Oh well, if I get a more powerful computer/laptop, then I'll give this another whirl :P

Damn, I wanted to see that 910 Damage Flare :(


As said on YT, sniping with holy ftw due to 18 MA + Strengthen: Holy from the Golden Hairpin :) It's somewhat unfortunate BladWolf wasn't able to get her Ramza/Knight-esque sprite completely done <_<

I asked you about it a while back FFM, but I was just wondering (once you get the time to hack again after your exams are over) if you could find the offset again that cancels the mid-charge bonus on charging units (mages with spells most notably in Arena)?

I think you said that it was a single-byte change iirc and that you lost the location of it unfortunately.

If you ever discover it, let everyone know because I think it's great :D

I was thinking maybe you can throw in this and future completed spreadsheets/mem card generators for 134+ even though some of the teams may not function well from being outdated from the previous version.

Here's my submission, 62/64 teams entered in w/ some of them being retired XD
