Final Fantasy IV Research & Development / Re: Filly Fantasy IV
« on: October 04, 2017, 03:18:49 PM »
Characters that will receive special needs for Filly Fantasy IV:
Unicorn Twilight receives special needs with Applebloom helping Twilight overcome her mental issues.
Applebloom receives special needs after being brainwashed by the Storm King regaining her consciousness.
Luna receives special needs after breaking free from Sunset Shimmer's evil influence thanks to Trixie's sacrifice.
Sunset Shimmer receives special needs after breaking free from Adagio's evil influence.
I can't forget Princess Celestia because her magic may be not very effective against Adagio.
...what?

There needs to be an alternative because RHDN is a fucking cesspool of shit.
I feel you, man. I'd really like to grow SyndROMe, but I just don't know how to get it out there and convince people to leave or at least consider it as an alternative to the abysmal site that is RHDN.

Whoa! Apparently levels didn't even pretend to carry over from TAY, he with Ceodore being Level 1. Though that may be a consequence of dealing with the innate level-up system. I would suggest getting in touch with the maker of FFIV shuffle if you want to change that, since he has a Level Up charact from Level 1 to max for everyone somehow.
Yeah, I didn't really know how to explain this in the story, but it wouldn't be good gameplay wise if all the characters were between Lv. 60-70 from the very start! I'm not familiar with FFIV shuffle, but I'll look into it.

Beautiful work on these portraits and sprites! May I say! You really have a knack for this!
Thank you so much for this! The sprites are honestly the most tedious and tiring part of this hack as strange as it may sound. The Overworld sprites were made by myself (made especially difficult by the fact that several characters share a single palette), all the battle sprites were meticulously redrawn exactly as they appear in TAY complete with identical palettes, and as for the portraits I actually hired an artist familiar with TAY for those. I had to teach him how to use YY-CHR and shell out a bit of cash, but it was totally worth it in my opinion!

Nice excuse for not being able to go further in the Waterway Cavern.
Yup. I didn't want to force the player to backtrack through the Underground Waterway again after doing it so many times before, so you only have to visit the first room :) However, the player can opt to visit Kaipo and for doing so they have better equipment available to them.

One thing that is a little saddening is that neither Cid or Luca have their TAY skills. Study is... useless. Unless you did something special to it.
Unfortunately replicating TAY abilities has proven to be quite difficult thus far. Expect a lot of that to change in future updates though.

Damcyan still sounds so sad... granted this was an issue with TAY as well. Damcyan's music really should have changed to Edward's Theme, I feel.
Personally I completely agree with you. I decided to keep the theme the same only to be consistent with TAY.

Are you aware of some glitch which is making All Damage/Healing max out at 49? It's one of the strangest bugs I've seen in a hack, I doubt it was intentional, unless it was something to do with the Rom I used? Dealing only 49 damage to everything can quickly become unbearably annoying.
I can't say I've seen this issue with my ROM. I even just went back and opened it again just to check, but everything seems to be working fine for me. Did you ever figure out what the issue was?

Final Fantasy V Research & Development / FF V Editors
« on: August 31, 2017, 06:10:08 PM »
The only ones I know of are located here. But without an NPC/Event/Dialogue editor I don't think it's realistic for anyone to be able to create a full scale hack. Does anyone know if there is a full-feature utility in the works similar to ff4kster?

Thnak y'all so much for explaining that. I knew there was just something different about this game (for example this stuff doesn't apply to FFIV). So does it have anything to do with hiROM and loRom?

Final Fantasy V Research & Development / FFV Offsets
« on: August 30, 2017, 11:40:56 PM »
I'm really pissed the fuck off right now because I can't understand this shit. Supposedly job palettes start at D4/A3C0 but D4A3C0 isn't a fucking address in the ROM. I can't find anything online and it is really pissing me off. What the hell am I not understanding here. Obviously I either don't know how this works or it is just different from other games somehow. Either way it's pissing me the fuck off immensely right now.

« on: August 30, 2017, 07:51:14 PM »
Oh goodness yes please make a full feature editor for FFV. I really want to make an FFV hack after my FF Postlude project and it would be incredibly helpful to have something akin to Pinkpuff's ff4kster. Please take it into consideration at least! :wink:

Final Fantasy IV Research & Development / Re: FFIV Leonora
« on: August 29, 2017, 07:16:19 AM »
Wow I had this Idea once to create sort of an After Years sequel hack to Pinkpuffs Final Fantasy Unprecedented Crisis.  If someone is actually working on the sprites that would be awesome.
If you haven't seen it already this idea evolved into the hack I'm working on currently: Final Fantasy IV -Postlude-

I'm recreating all the battle sprites from TAY by hand so it takes a while, for the Overworld sprites I'm making those myself, and for the portraits I hired a pixel artist who has prior experience playing FFIV.

The first release is out! About 1/3 of the hack is complete as of now. Please please please leave feedback. I won't know what anyone thinks of it if no one speaks up!

Download ----> Here.

I know this hasn't been discussed in quite some time, but did anyone ever figure out a better way to modify these two commands? Could it be done via an ASM routine?

General Discussion / Re: RHDN Currently Down
« on: August 21, 2017, 09:11:51 PM »
This is the story of why I left RHDN. Originally I had made a thread for my the hack I was working on at the time, however I apparently didn't have enough "evidence" to warrant my hack getting its own thread in the "Personal Projects" section. The thread is then wrongly moved to "ROM Hacking Discussion" which is clearly not where it belongs. I pay a visit to the RHDN Discord and after basically asking wtf is going on I'm told that whichever staff member moved my thread "must have had a good reason for doing so". When I refute that claim and show that I clearly followed the guidelines (I even included screenshots) I am immediately (without warning) banned form the Discord and on top of that the thread I previously mentioned is completely removed from the site. I tweet at the RHDN Twitter what happened and kindly ask that they would get their staff under control. The moderator Azkadellia responds saying there is no possible way a staff member could have abused their power as it simply wouldn't happen. Infuriated at this point I leave the site all together.

That was about 5 months ago. So now I come back to the site at roughly the same time the Patreon catastrophe is occurring and start a thread for my latest hack (FFIV Postlude). My account at this point is also under limited access meaning all my posts must be approved by a Moderator first. So it's approved, however I don't have the ability to edit it due to the limited access. So what I do is I create another forum account under my current username (Spindaboy) and make a post on the thread basically saying I wouldn't be updating the project on RHDN anymore that also included a link to the thread for the hack on this site. I check back today and the entire thread is gone. Deleted. It doesn't exist anymore. No message from the moderators or any other notification of any kind. The Patreon fiasco alone was a good enough reason to leave, but this just solidifies my decision. So all I have to say now is the following: Fuck you romhacking.net. Fuck your ungratefulness to the community, fuck your cancerous members, fuck your unjust staff, and fuck your money whoring website.

[Update #1] - 8/20/2017
I haven't been online as much the last few days as I'm finishing moving into college, however I've still found time to work on the hack! The story is now playable for up to about 1 1/2 hours (depending on if you decide to pay a visit to the now optional  Underground Waterway). Progress is coming along at a steady pace, but I'm reluctant to release the first version publicly until I (1) Create the menu portraits (really struggling with that) and (2) Perfect the way the battle sprites are assembled.

Until then please let me know what you think of it so far! Hopefully next update will bring about the initial release. :wink:

I've started an alternative ROM hacking site specifically for Nintendo consoles (also using SMF). It just opened so there is literally no one there, but feel free to check it out if you're interested!
