The Lion War 2.031
Welcome back fellow Hackticians! The time has finally come to release The Lion War 2.0! This comes with all the benefits of the original TLW, but with some neat new additions listed below.

This has been a long time coming and we want to thank you all for your patience! We know you will love all the new additions as much as we did creating them. The modding resources and full changelog will be released soon.
Enjoy!
-The Lion War Team

Rendezvous
If, like many, you never got to play the multiplayer content in WotL, now you have your chance! Newly included in TLW 2.0 are the Rendezvous missions in a single player format. Once unlocked these can be accessed from the Bonus Content menu in the Brave Story menu.

spoiler: Rules & Restrictions

Due to sprite limitations, some enemies many not appear until a condition (usually killing another enemy) is met.
However this does help to combat the fact that you will never have 6 units or 2 Orlandus, 2 Reis, etc, as you would have had access to in WotL.

-No enemies can be invited in Rendezvous missions
-All stats and items are retained
-Losing results in Game Over

Treasure Wheel
In WotL there was a 'treasure wheel' that you'd get rewards from at the end of every Rendezvous battle. Nyzer custom built a completely new type of treasure wheel for TLW 2.0. You can see a video of it in action HERE
Given the complexity of this event, he was kind enough to write an explanation below.

spoiler: Full Explanation

Treasure Wheel Mechanics
========================

1: Basics
--------------

The player will get to play the Treasure Wheel after every Rendezvous. Each Rendezvous has its own specific loot table (though Rendezvous that all unlock at the same time share the same loot tables). There are four categories of chests, each of which will have three chests: Weapons, Armor, Accessories, and Consumables.

Weapons, Armor, and Accessories will all award gear roughly near what the player's shop progression would have had at the time the Rendezvous unlocked.

Consumables, however, are really underwhelming - in testing, everyone wanted to avoid them. So the only Chemist Items in the Consumables chests are Elixirs, which are in every Rendezvous' loot table. However, you can also find other kinds of consumables - specifically, ninja throwing items such as shuriken, or katana for Samurai. Additionally, Consumables will almost always award multiple of an item, rather than just one.


2: Rare rewards
--------------------------

When the Treasure Wheel starts, there is a chance that one random chest will become a Rare Chest. There's also a small chance upon opening any Common Chest that it will spontaneously transform into a Rare Chest.

How a Rare Chest works changes depending on its color. A Silver Chest will offer treasure based on the next Rendezvous' loot table, whereas Gold Chests offer Rare treasure from the endgame that cannot be found in any common treasure sets.

Whether the player will find Gold or Silver chests depends on which Rendezvous they can do. Rare treasure will only be Silver until reaching Chapter 4, at which point it all becomes Gold. You can tell what kind of rares you'll get by the background and the music in the event - a silver background means you'll get Silver rares, and a golden background means you'll get Gold rares.

As well, once the player unlocks Gold Treasure Wheels, they will have the option to press Triangle to attempt to force a Common Chest to become a Gold Chest. Each attempt costs 25,000 gil. If an attempt fails, the odds of having the next attempt succeed are doubled.


3: Treasure scaling
-------------------------------

There are two ways that older Rendezvous' Treasure Wheels are set to scale up to be useful to the player. The first is how Common Consumables are altered, and the second is how Rare Treasures are.

Common Consumables from older Rendezvous will no longer have katanas or ninja items. Instead, they will give the player a random amount of 1-10 Elixirs.

Rare Treasures will also scale up until after the start of Chapter 4. Until that point, a Rare in an older Treasure Wheel will be the same as the Rares in your current newest Treasure Wheel. So if you're in Chapter 3, and have just unlocked Desert Minefield, getting a Rare Treasure from Chapter 2's Chicken Race will give you loot from Chapter 3's Littering, just as a Rare in Desert Minefield would.

However, Rare Treasures will no longer scale up beyond the rare loot found in Chapter 4's Shades of the Past. Sorry, but you won't be seeing any Excaliburs from Chocobo Defense!


4: Number of chests
----------------------------------

In most Treasure Wheels, the player will only be able to open three chests. However, doing a battle series, such as Shrine Knights or Bravestory, will allow the player to open more chests, as well as increasing the chances of getting a Rare Chest at the start of the Wheel, and the chances of finding a Rare Treasure from any Common Chest.


5: End
----------

And that's that! Hopefully that helps you understand how the Treasure Wheel works. I did my best to make it feel like an engaging experience that gives the player enough control to avoid feeling like they're totally at the mercy of the RNG, without any one treasure category feeling worthless, and that every go at the Treasure Wheel feels worth your time without being ridiculously overpowered.

Now get out there and enjoy The Lion War!

Sounds Novels
Propositions [Errands] in Final Fantasy Tactics sometimes gave you unique prizes, which have no battle effect. Four of these prizes could be opened and revealed small games, the sound novels. The sound novels were not translated in the original US PSX release, nor in any subsequent releases of the game. They have a lot of text to translate.
Three of the four novel are playable in English in TLW 2.0. We are still looking for a translator for the last novel (not google translate).

Congratulations. You guys have been working on this for ages.

[skiploom188]

Thank you Hacktics Team. You guys are FFT modding gods!

Also what perfect timing as I just finished a playthrough of WotL for the first time. Can't wait to try those rendezvous missions!

[Jordan95]

Thank you all so much for this! I just started playing WOTL again a few weeks ago. I usually play the version on Android. I wanted to do the same thing with this so I downloaded ePSXe in the Play Store and transferred my patched iso to my phone. All working great so far!

[Heisho]

Amazing man!!!

So guys find a solution to increase the roster from 16 to 20 AND added Glain hack for bench units?? Awesome!
I'll wait a few more days to see more about documentation and New Game+.

In the meantime is it possible to give some advertising to this mod on my FB profile by adding a link to this page?

Awesome work as always

Regards

Updated to mod and resources to 2.021 to fix a bug in Clouds event (event and conditional v4 sheet) and to fix another issues in the Guarded Temple rendezvous

[Krisbr99]

could someone please explain to me what is the difference between these two versions that are available for download
2.02 and 2.021?

[Xifanie]

2.02 and 2.021 being up at the same time was not intentional. I've removed 2.02 from this post (as well as the resources, as they have their own thread.) No idea how that even happened tbh

[breaktube]

Oh wow, excellent project !
People on the cdromance discord were talking about it today.
Can't wait to give this a try  ^_^"

[advfox]

Late to seeing this has been updated, thanks for all the time and effort that has gone into this.

[Filil]

This mod is awesome! Congratulations!

I just finished it 2 times ( NG+) and i got a bug going since the first playtrough... I only can get 46 Artifacts out of 47... Both cleared game i did everything twice and still couldn't get the 500CP Prize for all treasures.

But as a LOM player and Disgaea player too, the end game features are AMAZING!

Such a genius all of you are!

Id double check a list online. You are likely missing something, as this has been tested quite a bit. Remember some propositions are seasonal. And thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[minasetaki]

what is the meaning of "missing" character, i got this after sent agrias quest

No idea what 'sent agrias quest' means...

No idea what 'sent agrias quest' means...

sorry, not quest but i means propositions, and i forget who char i sent (maybe one of agrias bodyguard)

[3lric]

If you send out people on a proposition, and then beat a chapter and then try to get them back they are set to missing. This is from vanilla, not TLW

[JusticeBringer]

Howdy. I just made this account to report some minor bugs I found so far on my playthrough.

They don't really affect the gameplay and it's probably due to the limitations in the game's memory so I can totally understand, but I'll post them anyway.

As I scrolled through the character entries in the Brave Story section, Kletian, Balk, and Rofel's entries are displayed like so:


Also, while I was buying items from the Fur Shop, the Master's portrait from the Soldier's Office is shown instead of the Clerk's when the inventory is full.



The description for Bremondt's Holy Priest job class is blank.


Last but not least, at the beginning, I chose to save Algus in Mandalia so that the party's Brave won't go down when I get to Zeakden, yet the game treats it as if I chose to defeat all enemies instead, so the party's Brave went down anyway. Other than that, no issues so far.

Anyway, thank you so much for this mod! It exceeded far beyond my expectations and I am LOVING it. A huge kudos to the team that made this possible.

[3lric]

Please post bugs in the bug reporting thread...

[JusticeBringer]

Will do. My apologies.
