*TEST Demo FIXED!*

[Verdeni]

Oh... poor LD... ><


I ran into this problem with Move Find Item. I believe the problem, LD, is that your "OVER_RUNNING" the text.

Basically, clearly it only affects Ability names. You've used too much extra text on Ability names. You might end up having to shorten the names of some of your skills. They might be tooo long, I find it's easier to always try to keep the Ability's names with generally the same amount of text.

That is probably it... but Melonhead has said he's already fixed the problem, now once he releases this fix...

Congrats LD on the released of your demo.
Great project.
I will definitely try this when my exam is over.
By the way, your latest patch is on your first post, LD?

[LastingDawn]

That is correct and thank you for your support! A new release might be happening either later today or tommorow.

[jimmyjw88]

Okay, LD. Thanks.
Great. Can't wait to try this patch. ^^

[jimmyjw88]

By the way, about the patch, should i patch with the original FFT or with v1.3?

[LastingDawn]

Original FFT, would be preferable.

[jimmyjw88]

By the way, LD...sorry to ask this but is the demo first battle immediately skipped to FORT Zeakeden??

[beawulfx]

Yes it is, that will be the first battle in Mercenaries. (As far as I know of course)

[jimmyjw88]

Oh...i see. After that battle?
Means start of Chapter 2?
Sorry, I haven't got time to try it.

[beawulfx]

I'm not sure how Mercenaries will be incorporating the whole 'chapter' aspect. Game starts at Zeakden for your first battle, then you go to Gariland and meet up with Gaf/Rad, then you go to Mandalia to save Lavian, then Sweegy to the 'competition/tournament' there and then to Dorter to get ambushed! That's all the demo patch story battles if I am correct.

[jimmyjw88]

Oh...i see.
Okay, thanks alot beawulfx ^^
Cause i thought something is wrong when everything is black and people talking.
Then immediately start battle which fly to the last battle of Chapter 1, Fort Zeakeden.
Anyway, thanks.

It's a dream that occurs in Ramza's head every night. Which is alluded to in the opening of statements.

[jimmyjw88]

Oh..i see.
So that's why the background is black and people talking.
Ok, LD. Thanks alot.
Haven't got time to test the demo yet. But it's sure an interesting patch ^^

has melonhead released his fix yet?

I just downloaded the demo and played through a bit. The story and dialog are exquisite, the jobs are gonna take some getting used to, but the seem quite innovative. My only concern is that the emulator--or something--crashes randomly. For instance, after the second battle (first time you get to use Gafgarion and Rad) the game froze for quite a while after the battle ended: the emulator stopped running and my computer froze, after about a minute or two the emulator kicked back up (Vista is a bitch and won't let me close things as they start to crash) and I continued the game. Then I proceeded to the Lavian fight, a similar problem occurred: as I was about to attack with Lavian my entire computer crashed, I got a blue screen, and the computer restarted. Thankfully my computer's back up and running fine, but I decided to let you know about this problem right now before I cause some serious damage.

These seem pretty significant, and I'm not sure what the cause is. My computer is brand new and this is the first time I've played a patched game on ePSXe. This entire project looks quite promising, so I hope to hear what's up soon. Best of luck to all you.

EDIT: Well, after my computer crashed twice while I was trying to edit this post, I'm thinking it was actually an issue related to my power supply, triggered by the emulator. Anyhow, I'll let you know if anything else happens that might require your attention. Great work on this project; you've made a fan of me.

[LastingDawn]

I had heard that... but that is a glitch I fixed some time ago, it isn't in the final version, also the glitch was a lot less... damaging... it caused the game to freeze yes, but that was the extent to what the damage was, I find it strange that it would occur in such a way...  though I hope it hasn't been too large of a deterrent for you. I am glad to see you like the project so far!

EDIT: Yes, Melonhead released his fix, but I'd like to do a lot of other things before I release another version of the TEST demo.

[mav]

No, it's no big deal--like I said, it was actually an issue with my power supply, but perhaps something within those scenes required a little more power? I have no idea. Anyway, it's a phenomenal project; I'll be lurking around keeping an eye out for some more goodies you guys have to release.

[JuAn]

so you do have a version without the text problem? but its not out yet. right?

[LastingDawn]

That is correct.
