FF6 timer tiles?
« on: September 05, 2013, 04:07:33 PM »
looking at this:

Code: [Select]
CA/BA02: A0    Set timer 0 to $4650 [5m: 00s: 00j], jump to subroutine $CABA09 if it expires. Flags: 
               (Countdown continues in menu and battle)
               (Countdown shown while walking [must have tiles for it, only timer 0 can use])
               (Unknown flag enabled 0x20 on event bank byte)
               (Countdown overrides the game clock display)

What does it mean to "have tiles for it"? I am setting up a custom event and need a timer, but the timer on the map is using random other sprites (chocobo, merchant, etc...) all garbled up where the numerals should be. I took a look at the event code and don't see anything that loads numerals, and I looked into the map data with LE but nothing is really sticking out to me here...

a little help?

The problem lies in the map properties, not the events. Open up FF3LE, and go to your map you have this event on. Click on the Layers tab. You should see a checkbox for 1.7, and it should be unchecked. Check it. That will copy the numbered tiles to VRAM so the timers will display correctly on that map. You need to do this for every map you want a timer to display on. I would also suggest Zone Doctor, but I can't seem to find the option for it in there.

Thanks. I would use ZoneDoctor, but I had already started editing by the time ZoneDoctor was released and the map editor literally does nothing for my game for some reason. It might have to do with the fact that LE Rogue is telling me that I have too many tiles but saves anyway. I stayed within the bounds of the original map when I edited so I don't know why I'm getting the error, but the game saves and works fine so I let it go... but now ZoneDoctor won't work with it at all. Of course, I wouldn't even know what to look for if there were problems.
