New patch: Chain of Command Bug fix
« on: September 27, 2016, 02:23:54 PM »
Hi everyone! A little mini-patch I made that fixes what might not necessarily be a bug to everyone, but I think it is. Whether you've noticed it or not, the command selection screen under Gogo's Status menu does not account for equipped Relics. For example, if you have Coin Toss equipped, the command "Slot" will still show up as "Slot" in the list of commands to choose from. If you add it as a command for Gogo, the battle menu preview window correctly shows it as "GP Rain", but the selection list still doesn't change. This patch makes the commands the correct ones.

This patch does conflict with Assassin's "Brushless Sketch" patch, but not in a way that breaks anything. You'll just have to be careful if you apply both patches; this patch should be applied SECOND or else it won't do anything.

See replies.

Patches no longer use free space, and there are now some patches includes for the SFC ROMs.

yep, i was silly to shrink a jump in that patch -- just got like 1 cycle of speed and a long-since worn-off, self-administered pat on the back in 2004 -- and will ditch that silly change whenever i update the patch.

to follow on the "might not necessarily be a bug to everyone" comment: that's part of the reasoning behind my all-white commands version of the "Miscolored command names fix" (see Readme Section 2).  though it is possible for someone to favor that version of the patch and still want the command names to be pre-converted, just not as harmonious logically.

more pertinently, your patch will also conflict with that flavor of mine.  yours needs to be applied SECOND, and then the "JMP $5EE6" in extra space needs to be changed to "JMP $5EE9".

finally, both of your commented assembly files show the change at C3/5EF8, when it's actually at C3/5EDE, iirc.
