I hate to be "that guy" who knows nothing yet is always suggesting new things, but I have another question!
Will place labels eventually be in ff4kster? I admit that I know nothing about how they're stored in hex, so I don't know if it's an issue or not, but I was just wondering.
I noticed that the editor will eventually have the capability to edit monster stats. Does this include the item drops?
Oh man... you have no idea how nice PgUp/PgDown working is! Everything becomes so much more fluid, no more time holding down, getting lag, missing your target, scrolling back up, etc. A great addition!
I got very excited when I clicked on Map Info and saw a list of maps, but alas clicking on it took me back to the menu, too cruel PinkPuff! Haha!
Great work, neat little additions which increase user-friendlyness. Looking forward to the next update.
Hi Pinkpuff...
I'm having a bit of a problem. I'm not sure if you'll be able to help, but here goes...
I just DLed the latest version of FF4kster, and it won't load my hack.
It still loads other FF4 ROMs fine. Not only that, but other FF4 hacking programs still load my hack fine, including the previous version of FF4kster that I had (which was originally DLed on 9/24, if that helps create a frame of reference). It's very bizarre... Any ideas what might be going on here?
I wonder how this would interact with Berserk? It's trivial enough to change, say, Yang's Gird into casting Berserk rather than Protect. After the first time would the character keep casting berserk due to being in critical or keep attacking due to being berserk?
Please excuse me if I'm not my usual sunny self.
I have another suggestion. Why not make some sort of shortcut to get to certain dialogue entries in the "messages" menu, at least for banks 1 through 3?
The reason I bring this up is because in my project, I'm currently editing dialogue a lot. Sometimes the editor crashes from me trying to delete too much dialogue at once, and I have to reload and scroll, one increment at a time, to get back to my place at message, say, 330 from message 1. I can just hold down the arrow key, yes, but it lags and it keeps scrolling moments after I've let go.
The kind of shortcut I suggest is typing in the number would take you to the specified message, e.g. pressing 459 would take you to message 459.
That's all there is by default. You can add new icons and whatever else in the blank font space. Some of them can't be used in field dialogue because the DTE code makes use of those values, but the menus and battle are fair game for the most part (the old Japanese DTE is still enabled in them, but utilizes the values used by the icons and above, so that's basically a non-issue.)
How?
Insert only does the default icons and /chr is limited to the start of the font glyphs.
Underscore enters an ellipsis. Being able to insert any font character anywhere would be nice, though.
I have two suggestions: add some way to use "special characters" and other things that can only be done in hex editors at the moment, such as the ellipsis tile, item icons, and character name variables
or perhaps you could look into the cause of this?
Thank you so much, everyone involved with this, and have a wonderful day!
the location properties start at A8E84, not A9E85.
Ah, it adds so much more variety when the modder is allowed to put their own indexes in (and not to mention allows usage of a whole bunch of blank indexes.) It is really great to finally have that, now it feels like work can begin in earnest (with frequent backups, of course).
Yes, that's partially what I meant, but I also meant the Stat Boosting Items to change whatever you wish (Like say you want the Golden Apple to increase Strength by 3 rather than increase HP by 100, or want the Soma Drop to boost Permanent Magic Evasion, or some such) and the slight bit of work I've done with Commands (really the only stable thing in there is the Steal Slot 1-4 on an enemy and Dragonsbrethren figuring out how to make Cecil take no damage from Dark Wave) I would be wary of using any of my Bluff notes at the current time.
