Final Fantasy Hacktics

Kaij,

People love big numbers though.  Think about how many games you've played with retardedly high numbers.

Can you explain the acronym "ROW"?

Are any of you guys good with Photoshop?  For the life of me I can't get this tutorial on Quick Gold Text to work.  I was wondering if I could get a more indepth explanation or some help:

Srsly?  No Nietzshe quotes?  Weak Sauce.

QuoteEvery specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force.

Quote from: "Pickle Girl Fanboy"A Katana's attack power is it's chance to break.
For example:
7 Attack Power = 7/100 chance of breaking when using Draw Out.

I think someone found a way to get Draw Out skills to use weapons other than Katanas, but maybe it's the Katana formula itself that forces the weapon's attack power to become it's break percentage.

Possible Solution:  Change the formula for the Draw Out skills.

Tell me if that works for you, we need to know this.

Do you mean through ASM hacking or through FFT Patcher.  Using FFTPatcher to change the formula makes the Katana skills work exactly like item.  In effect you "use" a Katana to execute a skill and it is permanently lost like a potion.

I'd rather avoid eliminating a class to get him unique.  I figure maybe 100 Brave and 1 Faith would make be respectable since he is a Godless Killing Machine.

A little off topic but what about changing the Black Chocobos to use a different palette - and actually be black (if you select a different Palette in ShiShi's you can make the Chocobos appear black rather than purple but how do I actually make them appear that way in game)?

(Also why the hell does it make G-ODLESS become St Ajora?)

Is there anyway to stop Katanas from breaking with the Samurai Skill Set?  I tried changing the calculation away from "XXX//May display broken" but all that does it make the skill work similar to an item (in which the katana is auto-consumed) which is the exact opposite of what I am trying to do.  I figured this has probably been done before but I could not find a thread about it.

I assume this is the same for the PSX version also?  So say I want to change the Calculator class to something similar to the Dark Knight class from PSP.  After changing out the abilities in the Skill Set I also need to change "Arithmeticks -> Default" under "Math Skill" within the Actions Tab?

Phil is completely correct, as usual.  I had this happen to me last night actually, with ability descriptions.  Simply reduce the length of your culprit line by placing the "{Newline}" tag earlier in the line.

Another note is that in FFTacText you can create a new line with "Shift+Enter" you still need to add the new line tags.  That little piece of useful information seems to be absent from the documentation (but I found it by searching these forums.

Damn, does that mean I have to change the sprite but then also change the type with Shi-Shi's?

Won't I have to use a job that isn't currently used?  Is there a list of unused jobs that I can reference?

Crap.  Thanks for the heads up.  Looks like the only way to make Boco the man is to give him and all Yellow Chocobos an Innate or make him a Black or Red Chocobo.  Does anyone have any other ideas on how to make Boco badass and worth using?

Goal: Add an innate Support Skill (Defense UP) and Movement Skill (Move-HP Up) to your friend and mine - Boco.

Problem: After joining my party these two skills are not in effect for Boco.

Method Used: I edited Event "194 - Araguay Woods" to add "Defense UP" and "Move-HP Up" to Boco under the skills section in his details window.  It seems that in the initial battle (before he is joined to the party) both these abilities work fine.  Unfortunately when added to the party he no longer has these skills.

Question: Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?  Does he need another Primary set rather than "FF Job's"?  Or am I missing something very simple.  Changes I made to Rad, Alicia, and Lavian seem to have worked fine, but Boco is not working correctly.  Thanks in advance.

I think the second one actually looks better.

If I am pulling a Frankenstein spriting project - I would use Photoshop to do all the editing.  Then use GIMP to reduce the palette and use Graphics gale to edit the palette and place the portrait in.

Another ASM question.  Most status type stuff has a default chance of happening 25% of the time.  Is there any way to set this to 33%?  I was thinking mainly for geomancers but it wouldn't be that huge of a deal if it happened everywhere.

Random other question - Can I replace Byblos with a custom class/sprite/character?  I think it seems you can but . . .

Quote from: "tithin"If we're not limited to just video games, I'd have to say that Cersei Lannister tops my list of villains. Every other member of her family bar tyrion holds some form of personality that could be possibly construed as villainesque*, but they all hold suitable motivations, and change during the course of the story, for the better. Not Cersei no, she actually gets worse as the story goes on, and when she finally attains power, she bungles it in such a miraculous faction it's hilarious to watch from a meta point of view.

Game of Thrones is the shit.  However my money is on George RR Martin dying before the next book.

What about Jon Irenicus from BGII?  Or Sarevok from BG1?

Does anyone have any suggestions about changing Rafa and Malak's sprites?  I mean you know its fortunate that their family got killed by a fire; just to spare their mother from looking at that fugly pair.

I was thinking of a recolor but that might not be enough . . .

Quote from: "mav"Yeah, that color that's appearing as white on the portrait seems to also be used on the sprite--swap it out with a similar color (change one of the RGB values by 1) and you should be okay...

I think the same thing happened to me with a sprite, though I can't recall for sure. But yeah, I assume that's the problem.

Worked perfectly, thanks for the heads up mav.
