Quote from: Nyzer on October 20, 2023, 10:04:21 pmI updated this very tutorial less than a year and a half ago to be current with the latest Shishi.
Could you point me to exactly this tutorial? I have browsed several threads and read through a few tutorials in the tutorials section, but they leave me confused. The tutorials are a mess, sorry to say that. I am used to read or write highly complex tech instructions / configuration sets every day for professional reasons, but the editing instructions here leave me puzzled.
I am happy to rewrite these into a more readable format with clear and precise instructions, but for this I'd need to understand what to do first. Use case: I want to simply change sprites for 2-3 generic characters in my roster, both in-battle and on formation screen. Yet I want to avoid completely corrupting my ISO/BIN files, so I'd like to read precise instructions beforehand.
Replace In Battle Sprite
Extract all the .SPR files or just the one you want. I found it a less of a hassle in the long run to extract them all incase you wanted more new sprites later
First of all, what is "CD Mage"? Is that a software to mount ISOs?
What does "extract the files" mean? Local copy of the files to be edited with Shishi sprite editor? In another thread I read to pay attention when working with Shishi, as it doesn't write edits into RAM but directly onto disk. So, are we editing data on the fly or local copies of data present on the ISO? Id est, we extract files from the ISO, save them locally, edit them with the sprite editor, and then replace/overwrite the files contained in the ISO with our edited data?
Formation screen
I don't even...
The Wiki page for Sprite editing leads to this page about FFTEVGRP, which refers to a tutorial on Shishi here. Uhm... what?
