I'm going to play some Ancient Cave today; I figured I may as well test your fractional M patch while I'm at it. This is the most recent one I found:
http://slickproductions.org/forum/index.php?topic=1975.msg21658#msg21658

I can't use the compilation patch since Ancient Cave is not compatible with it.

 :edit:
It seems to have some issues. Faris wielding Dagger attacks Lenna without any armor = 0 damage.

 :edit:
It's not just the Dagger, the Thunder Whip is the same. I'm guessing all knife based weapons do 0 damage.

Hmmm... Can you try these changes?

C2/8101 : 1E -> 1D
C2/811F : EA -> 7B

Was that with or without the delta patch?

Both are right.
I just want to check if that is enough to fix the damage issue found by Jorgur.

I used just this patch:

I'm flattered that you guys have seen fit to work with it, but could anyone tell me, have any changes been made to the dialogue in Legend of the Crystals, that I may note for my records?

This is just sort of a hobby of mine, so it's not a matter of ego at all...get back to me

Haven't changed anything - would be happy to if you would want to make any changes now.

(I still want to do something about that "I'm going with!" dammit...)

I have decided separating both Fractional M and Damage Overflow patches.
I am sharing here then a patch for the Damage Overflow compatible with every version (J and RPGe, with or without Fractional M) and a delta for the Fractional M patch which doesn't include the Damage Overflow, but is compatible with it.

The delta fixes:
  - Knives Damage Formula
  - Rune Weapons
  - Goblin Punch
  - Minimum M (using "if M < 128 then M = 128")

Please check all these fixes as I may issued them.

making the Damage Overflow fix available separately was a good idea, as was including source code with these patches.

however, how are you able to have the standalone Damage Overflow patch compatible with the Fractional M patch?  they both edit C2/9419, right?  i suspect that if somebody wants both of these changes in effect, they'll need a special edition of Fractional M that has Damage Overflow built-in.

Not anymore. I have rewritten the "Minimum M Fix" to edit only the C2/940C to C2/9410 addresses in that routine. So now both patches are compatible and independent. You can read the "Delta to Fractional M.txt" to verify it.

I can share the code here but I feel as I am flooding this thread with ASM  :happy:

if the main Fractional M patch and the standalone Damage Overflow patch both hook C2/9419, but they have it call two different places, how can they be compatible with each other?

Can't be. I get you now. Let me check this one more time.

:edit: To keep compatibility, the Overflow patch must be called from C2/941E.
:edit: The new standalone and full compatible Overflow patch is attached to Reply #128

So to confirm, I can use the delta with the full compatibility patch overall?

Probably not as there are addresses which has suffer a lot of changes, C2/9411 to C2/9426 and C2/80D4 to C2/812A, mainly.

Beter, take a vanilla smc (with or without the RPGe patch) and patch it with Fractional M + Delta. With that, you can generate a Fractional M v1.1. We should test that v1.1 to ensure everything is right on it.

After that, feel free to apply again every other patches to get a new "Full Compilation".
