Quote from: Deathlike2 on August 09, 2008, 01:53:13 PM
When you start a game of FF3/6 fresh w/o saves and you run through the intro.. interacting with any part of the intro will allow you to start the game with a time of 0:00 (some hacks seem to force this by requiring you to enter input)... within that short span, perhaps you get a special item or something for doing this (not sure how that could be accomplished).
So lemme see if I got this right. You want an item just for starting the game? Is Terra's pendant not enough?

No.. it's taking advantage of this behavior. Terra's pendant is symbolic, but has no actual impact. I'm talking about giving an item that is nifty/cool/fun/maybe useful, but not gamebreaking or impactful.

Quote
The time already starts ticking from 0:00 the instant you hit "new game," so saying the intro shouldn't count is rather pointless. It's 1, maybe 2 minutes.

Let me rephrase this better.

Instead of hitting the A button when the music starts, you hit the A button when the "intro" is playing (since nothing is happening). Once you hit the A button at this point forward (until the game restarts after the walk), you start the game a tad differently, where it will jump to Narshe instead of the opening after the walk. This only occurs when you have no saves. The time then starts at 0:00 this way.

I'll create a movie to demonstrate this if necessary.

 :edit:
http://rapidshare.com/files/136140460/FF3Test.7z.html

I hit the A button during the walk, which produces what you see. There are no hacks involved and works with any version of the game (well, not including the GBA version, in fact, I suspect the GBA's US Version's "initial game bug" is caused by this old unfixed behavior.. this is fixed in the Euro version). This was created with FF3US v1.0.

5/31/16 - I have an assembly of the battle portion of C2, relocated to the F0 bank, which has both vanilla and patch code in my dropbox. I'll be updating it with additional patches as I have time. I will *not* be releasing it publicly, but ask me for the link and I'll share.

ah, thanks.  as for the immunities and permanent statuses with relation to spells, they're apparently handled by C3/2B8D.  $11D2 and $11D3 hold Status Immunity Bytes 1 and 2 from equipment, though only the former is used because no outside-battle spell can mess with Byte 2.  $11BC and $11D4 hold (Permanent) Status Bytes 2 and 3 from equipment, though only the latter is used "because no outside-battle spell can mess with Byte 2".

$11D2-$11D4 and $11BC are loaded by a call to C2/0E77 ==> C2/0F9A, which happens when you cast outside-battle spells on your characters, as well as when you change their equipment/relics, and in various other cases.

Noone's tried out my movie or is this already well known?

Anyways, I guess I'll make the same suggestion here like I did the FF3USHT thread.

A back row compatible weapon indicator (in the same area you see Runic/Swordtech/2-Hand) would be a welcomed addition/hack for the game.

Hell no, the sketch bug was one of the first things we fixed. That's 1 of the 99 we have listed. :wink: And there's plenty more bugs we still need to fix. :blush:

Has the Edgar-Sabin @ Figaro Castle bug been fixed?

It is the one where Edgar is not the lead character so the discount doesn't apply, even though Edgar's dialog pops up. It has nothing to do with Sabin's presence in the party... Sabin's check is his dialog but he gets no discount at all...

Change it so that Edgar is not required to be at the head of the party to get the discount.

It seems that the dialog's check is good... the discount check is not.

so i take it you have "Brushless Sketch" (or some equivalent) applied?  if so, are you still using the icon to determine a brush is in use, or did you add a property bit (along the lines of SwdTech-able, Runicable, etc)?

I believe so, though I don't know what we're using offhand. :isuck:

No, don't think that'll happen. All of the price mods are dependent on the party leader.

I was hoping for more of a general patch for this... not something added to your hack.
