Final Fantasy Hacktics

Thank you so much! Following those steps it seems to work.

I'm going to go ahead and call this sprite done. Doesn't mean it won't ever get updated but I don't think this needs to be labelled WIP anymore. Can I get the title changed?

Yeah... I have no idea what I'm doing. Unless someone knows something that might help, I'm going to have to give up on this for now.

It works perfectly in pSX

Using the same settings and plugin shown in Lijj's post, I'm still getting the same issue.

I've managed to fix the casting... mostly. When Ramza is facing in one direction it looks fine... but I noticed that if I rotate the camera, suddenly it looks odd. I can't figure out what is causing it. I took pictures:

I cleaned up the portrait a bit. Look better?

Edit: I also applied a quick fix for the problem with the spellcasting frame in the spritesheet I have posted. I haven't replaced the portrait though.

Still no luck puzzling it out, but I'm working on it.

I'd convert it to .TIM and try that... except I have no idea how to do that. :\

I'd really prefer to edit the images outside of tilemolester, since that would be a heck of a lot easier. However, I'm not sure how to export it while preserving the palette. Anybody know how?

Is it tied to the job? The ability set? The item class? All of them?

I'm not sure how to go about reclassing the items since I'm uncertain as to if the katanas have to remain katanas in order for it to work or not.

I wasn't sure where to post this. This seems like the most suitable place...

Is there any real use to making your own characters berserk in FFT? It does increase your PA doesn't it? Can it be used in any useful strategies? Or is it pretty much useless?

He's nearly done... though I'm having a bit of trouble with the frames for when he's in the process of casting a spell. His face goes all weird. Still have to adjust his skin color too.

I'm interested in any suggestions on how to improve the sprite, and any tips regarding the spellcasting frames.

[Update]: The Sprite is pretty much done now. It has two versions... a normal skin tone and a more orangish\goldish one.

Thanks for the help. I think I may have to return to this particular thing once I learn more though. Haven't quite figured things out yet.

I wasn't sure where to ask about this, so I went with the help section...

I was thinking about changing the background color of all the menu windows and such. I'm guessing that, like most things, it's do-able. But is it practical? What would be involved in doing that?

I forgot to mark the topic as solved... just did now. The solution suggested by Jumza works... since what I'm working on is eventually going to have all the battles replaced anyway.

I've changed the classes around quite a bit, and the ordering of them on the jobs wheel no longer makes much sense. How practical would it be to change their order? I'm assuming there is some way to do it, but is it practical?

I was working on elven versions of the thief... but I'm not sure if they look good or not. I was hoping maybe I could get some opinions on how it looks.

Okay, that makes sense. I did figure out that I misread the "match pixels with colors" as needing to be "checked" instead of unchecked. And the rest of it makes much more sense to me now. Thanks.

Sorry for being a bit dense... 

Okay, well, I'm still getting the same issues as before. I attempt to change the sprite from 256 colors, to 16 colors, since it will not accept it. It's telling me it's not a 16 color bitmap.

It has not been a jpg previously.

Edit: I re-did it, and changed it to 16 color in photoshop and it imported this time... but with this happening.

Also, if I attempt to copy the sprite over an exported formation sprite, it seems to irreperably mess up the color - no amount of fiddling with the palette seems to be letting me restore the same colors, with details showing up that did not previously exist.
