FF2us 1.0 doesn't have absorb set, so if it behaves the same way in that then the flag can't be the cause, as much sense as it makes.

FF2us 1.0 does have the absorb flag set. I just stepped through all the differences between the 1.0 and 1.1, and all but four changes are in the 18000-20000 range. I'm not sure why your version didn't have the Grudger absorbing lightning.

I just looked at it in a clean ROM and you're right, I have no idea why it wasn't set in the copy I was looking at it in before.

As for my comment about a built-in resistance, that's the way it seemed to me when I was playing through the PSX version. I guess it's possible they changed something, but I have a feeling it was just the reduced hit rate throwing me off. The monster I was testing against is BladeMan, which definitely isn't taking reduced damage in any of the other versions.

Tile Molester is the only one I can think of that was done in Java, it's a tad slow to load but the editor itself is fast enough. I hear newer versions of Java are actually getting pretty fast, so if that's what you know go for it.

Nice discovery with the Crystal, I never bothered testing dark-elemental magic against Zeromus and just assumed it would hit him. That means I can give dark elemental spells to the final party. :happy:

I really want to get back to work on that hack...

I know I have more than these around here somewhere, just can't find them. Anyway, 8x8 and fonts 1-3 are from archives I found on ZD, there's some pretty good stuff in them. Pandora 1-8 are the eight fonts we're currently using with PB's font swapper (Might be some WIP custom icons in them too, feel free to use any of the icons), and Easy Type is the font from my FF4 Easy Type translation.

Well, I don't know about the rest of the guys but I'm never one to demand credit for my information, anything I release publicly is just that - public - and anyone can benefit from it. The only thing I dislike is when someone rips off information and tries to say it's their own, which has never happened to me.

By the way, you asked where to get more information: http://pages.videotron.com/zyrthofr/

Quite a bit of his notes are missing from the site but there's some good stuff there, plus you can grab a copy of his editor which is pretty good for viewing data, less so for edits (I use the item and magic editors a bit, easier than doing everything in hex, and haven't have any problems with them).

Yeah, that was a nice surprise when I got the patch.

Thanks for the maps Leno, I was just going to copy them off the old computer when I felt like it but this is easier.

I didn't have any problem with the replays, I even watched Out of Resources on fastest before I uploaded it because I didn't feel like sitting through it at normal speed.

I purposely made it Japanese.  Its the "Last Arm" Japanese name--so ask DKK what that translates to. 
Last Arm. :tongue:

Actually, the name is pretty interesting. "Last" is sometimes used to signify the strongest/ultimate (Example: Last Elixir, the Japanese name for Megalixir) and "Arm" in this context refers to a weapon. That means it could be interpreted as "Ultimate Weapon" and guess what the name they used for it in Easy Type was? :wink:

You said FF4, is this for J2e's translation? I don't really have any large font replacements except for a not-very-good-looking conversion of the FF Advance dialogue font, but I've got loads of 8x8's I can upload for you if you want to take a look at them, just got to get them off the old computer.

Installing SC on this computer right now to watch it.

Watching the replay inspired me to play a bit against the AI:

Replay 1
Every time I thought I had the enemy beat I found them at another expansion.

Replay 2
The enemy ran out of resources before me, otherwise this one would've dragged on forever - I would've won of course, it just would've taken a lot longer without the fleet of carriers.

Both use stock BW maps since I don't have any custom ones on here yet.

Final Fantasy IV Research & Development / Re: Damage Numbers Display
« on: May 12, 2008, 03:08:27 PM »
If he's referring to the amount of number graphics displayed, that could be an interesting find. In FF4 and ET there are unused + and - characters stored with that font, it's possible they were originally going to use those to indicate damage instead of colors. Those characters were overwritten by the other half of the miss graphic in FF2us.

I'd upgrade that ram ASAP. Vista works a lot better with 2 gigs of ram.

Really? It doesn't seem to be running slow at all, certainly better than XP did on my old computer. I'm sure that's because this one outclasses it by a lot but Vista's running great and I have no plans to install XP just to see how it runs. I do plan on upgrading the RAM as soon as I have the money, it'll be cool to see this run even better.

*loves his XP Home; will never relinquish it*

I really wasn't expecting to like Vista as much as I do, pretty much the same way I felt about XP when I bought my old computer, I had heard so many negative complaints about it but when I finally tried it I realized I couldn't ever go back to the unstable and crash-prone 98. I'm not saying I can't go back to XP though, I just like some aspects of this a lot more. Speaking of crash-prone, a certain poorly coded emulator crashes much more gracefully in Vista, it doesn't allow it to lock up my entire system like XP did half the time.

quoted for emphasis.  anybody who switches from XP to (Hasta la) Vista (, Efficiency) is spending money on both the OS and the necessary hardware.  such masochism.

Funny thing, buying this without an OS would have probably cost about the same price, I did some searching online. A Vista license alone is about half the cost of this computer, the only thing I can think of to explain that is they make up the cost in all the bloatware that comes preinstalled. I turned it on to make sure it worked, set up an account, and was getting bombarded with advertisements for programs as soon as it finished, my desktop wasn't even displayed yet. I just switched it off at that point and did a clean install of Vista, got rid of all that crap, I bet the majority of people would never do that and would probably sign up for half the garbage.

I agree, it was the best I could get with the money I had to spend, and I can always upgrade it later when I've got the money (That was no longer an option with my old ones, both were maxed out for the most part).
