Whoa, my thread was hijacked. >.>

I haven't looked into anything battle related yet. I want to get all of the main menu crap done, then I'll look into the other stuff AFTER I look into coding a VWF.

Because if I can get a VWF down, then everything battle related won't need to be fixed. I'll just have a 4 pixel-wide font and be done with it. That'll also solve character limitations for the item menu and magic menu.

I do need to figure out how to expand the battle command menu, though. That confuses the hell out of me. You can't even edit it in RAM and have it come out the way you want. Any characters after the 5 character limit get shoved the next line below. >.>

And that Glass Face picture is priceless.  :laugh:

A VWF might not solve your problems though, unless the check is in the text drawing routine, you may find your text is still getting wrapped anyway.

Yeah, I suppose that could be the case. I think they just have it set up so that if anything goes over the pre-set limit for the battle windows, it goes to the next line. I'll have to look into it more as time progresses.

Yeah, I'll let you know if I can figure anything out when I try changing them. I've got the text for my expanded commands in the ROM but I haven't bothered trying to get it loaded yet.

More development, for those of you who don't visit RHDN:



Equipment menu is done. =D

And...



So is the Status menu. Complete with "level" being displayed next to character names, something j2e didn't do. =D

Looks pretty good, and reminds me that I've got to find what's printing the level eventually too. Actually, I still haven't gotten around to adding a new routine to print the classes, been focusing on other things.

I can give you the routine for moving level, if you want. It's pretty simple. I don't have it on me, but I've got it set aside at home.

Yeah, sure, that will be great. We've got an offsets thread around here somewhere, anything you can contribute to that would be excellent, saves anyone who wants to work with the game in the future some work.

What exactly was that supposed to show me? >.>

I've already got most of my menu stuff done, except for battle menus. Check my website to see what I mean (or there's some screenshots around here).

The first set of pics hint the usage of the display of the icon+expansion of the item-spell display when you use said item (although, that bleeding into the black background is not good IMO).

The second set is just rearrangement of the menus (if you didn't like them to begin with, although the Save menu option isn't looking right).

The last picture is a blur of goofing up massively.

Yeah, evidently I missed some of the graphic shading routines.
I messed up the graphics pointer to print the data to give clues to what and where to look for certain data.

I'm still not sure where the shading data for the "Save" is.  I'm still jumping around sections back and forth.

Check the "General Data" thread here. I posted how to get "Save" to shade properly.

"This is how you can get "Summon" to display properly, being greyed out like it should be:"
Code: [Select]
org $01B419
LDY #$0006

In which the address doesn't match or correlate to the headered FF2usv1.1 Rom I'm Using.
I've tried At B419, B219, B619, 1B419, 1B219, & 1B619; nothing that changes the "SAVE"
Another General Data Thread perhaps?
Thanks. I know its there, just back and forth jumping around.
