Final Fantasy Hacktics

introduction:
hello ffthackics im new to the forums, but, ive been reading a lot of posts here in the website to help me in my projects.
This site had helped me really alot regarding some of my issues regarding spriting and some other stuffs.
     Just today (whole day actually) ive just hit a wall that I cant really pass and its slowing my progress a lot, thats why I decided to register and log in to ask for help.
PROBLEM--- i had made 3 unique sprites that is TYPE 1, but, the problem is that I need to change it to TYPE 2, because the sprites im replacing are type 2 and i just cant use shishi sprite editor to swap the sprites in. The arms are flailing very far from the body during gameplay.

What I did to help myself--- read alot of posts regarding sprite type changing. Even came across hex editing, which im cluless about, but sill tried using it. Very useful actually. I followed the steps on how to do it on hex editor(tiny hexer). The posts i read was zozma,auradragon and even watched sentinelblade's tutorial video,downloaded sprite locations aswell
     I think i followed it correctly, and when i test those instructions but nothing changes in the game.(hex editing battle.bin)------ read in the post that its possible to do this
what am i doing wrong?
programs i have-- tool pack .457(from download section), UMDgen, tiny hexer(sentinel blade used i) and wind hex
ISO that I have- psp ISO, the iso thats recomended for use

 please help, i wanna finish my project and play the game with my unique characters
i will be very indebted if someone could help me

sorry for another post after my post
additional information-- im trying to change the sprite of simon, reis and alma(dead) ALL ARE TYPE 2- this sprites was said that was recommendable when you dont want affect too much of the game

looking forward for the help or any other work arounds that i can do to have this changes, thanks in advance

if you need more information from my problem ill be willing o give so
PROBLEM - how to CHANGE sprite type 1 to type 2

It would be nice if their would be a step-by-step process to do this

Read my creating New Characters guide. Otherwise you are going to have a ton of more problems. Anyone can swap sprites, but getting them to appear correctly in all fields of the game (Menu, Battle Formation, and then of course in Battle) is the tough part. Just read my guide very carefully and you will have a new character in no time.

Quoting you:

Quotei had made 3 unique sprites that is TYPE 1, but, the problem is that I need to change it to TYPE 2, because the sprites im replacing are type 2 and i just cant use shishi sprite editor to swap the sprites in.

Then wtf are you using? Shishi is the easiest and quickest dude. Take my advice and do it right, with Shishi.

thanks for the reply jon, i have also read or post, but im actually lookig for a way to turn my type 1 sprite to a type 2 sprite so it will match acoordingly during battles. regarding menu and formation sprites and portraits i have no problemswith it. i just need to make my type 1 to a type 2 or a work around on how o get simon.spr, reis(reze.spr) and alma dead (h28.spr) use a type 1  sprite so it would match my type 1 sprites

by the way i already used shishi to swap sprites, and i know its the easiest way. but the sprites i mentioned that i need to replace usesa TYPE2 sprites and i have a type 1 sprie. i can easily change it. but the problem is, is when you play. if you use type1 sprite to replace a type2 it woldnt come out right when you try and test the game

It should, I never have problems with it. Insert any sprite over any sprite and change the type if necessary. Then close Shishi. Reopen Shishi and test the movement under the animation tab. I have no idea what is making it so complicated for you in game. I never had this problem before and I test constantly, including monsters now which is a total nightmare. Lemme know if this helps at all.

hmm i see, im going to try again today. by the way what vrsion of shishi are you you using? i used the with included in the .457 pack. the shishi that it has has no option to change types. BUT i also have another version of shishi (.269) which has an option to change (SHP) which i think changes the sprite type

sorry jon but i din't help. i tried shishi again but its the sprite type thats killing me. I really need to know how or any work arounds on how to change sprite types. I change the sprite type in shishi but it didn't change the game movements. the arms are still off the body

I only use the 457 Shishi, the older ones are kinda weird. Okay, I'll try to help you but I am going to need to see the sprite sheets. If they are secret and you don't want anyone to see them, private message them to me. I'll see what I can do.
