New patch: Double Block Bug fix
« on: April 25, 2016, 01:03:46 AM »
I've done it! I've now fixed all of the bugs on my to-do list! I've still got a patch or two I want to release, but right now I am content with the ROM I have. I will continue to write new patches for anyone who requests them (as long as they actually make a difference in non-hacked ROMs), but for now I think I'll give myself a well-earned break.

First, though, I will announce my latest patch: the fix for the "blocking Fenix Down twice" bug I've been plagued with lately. Try using a Phoenix Down on a living character that has a shield equipped; they will break out the shield twice in order to block it. This patch removes this redundancy.

And one more thing, even though I said I'd take a break, I do have a little something special planned for May 6, which marks the end of my first year as an FF6 bug fixer. But don't bother asking me, because I won't tell anyone what it is until the day!

:edit: July 13, 2017
Two things. First, the SFC patches had an erroneous location for one of the affected areas of the patch; this has now been corrected, and a "correction patch" has been included for anyone to fix the changes made to the wrong bytes. Second, this patch has now been ported to GBA and PlayStation.

Good job on fixing all those bugs. Since I'm bad at identifying bugs and have relatively basic debugging abilities (due to my disassemblies knowledge that is ok but not great), I prefer releasing various Improvement / Tweaks and code editors. However the quest for a bug-free FF3us version is closer to completion due to people like you. I'll stay alert for May 6th! :happy:

Tomorrow? Great! :P

:happy: No, my plan wasn't to update Reflections. I updated Reflections because it had a problem. It'll be something a little more appropriate to the fact that it's my one-year anniversary.

Reflections? I was just trying to deceive you, so you would release your "special patch" earlier... :trollface:

So... what is it? Let's play a game...

"Reflections" sounds like the name of a magazine of poems and short, moving stories written under pseudonyms.  in the final three pages of each edition, supportive letters are exchanged between the readership.

No, Reflections is the name of my patch regarding reflected spells. It was buggy, so it needed an update.

Sorry, Xenovant, I'm not playing. My lip is zipped 'til the 6th.

At least one person here thought this funny. :happy:

Oh, no, so did I. I just didn't say that. :happy:
