Topic: FF2USHT bug fixing?

[Deathlike2]

I was thinking about replaying the hack again.. it was this or playing J2e's translation again (just to redo the game for stat maxing/equip maxing fun). I was planning to do this mostly for one last bugfix version as I recall there were few cosmetic bugs (mostly item names that got borked somewhere along the line).. but nothing serious IIRC.

Is this worth it or no?

If I remember correctly Dragonsbrethren fixed some bugs, but I don't have the patch. 

I can say that the version that's up SHOULD be bug-free enough to finish the game.

If you find any bugs please let me know--so I know what to fix.

Should there be anything worth pointing out while playing this for a second time.. like special drops, or where the hell the Pinkpuff enemy (or equivalent) is?

That would be me, literally.  And to find me you need to deliever the Letter to Lord J.  You'll eventually enconter Lord J through the game normally. 

The PinkPuffs are still in the game I think...they just don't drop the PinkTail if memory serves.

Dragonsbrethren had a walkthrough he was in the process of making a couple of years ago but stopped for some unknown reason.

Oh, and beware of Paladins--they will rape you.

Is the Granite Sword the rare drop, or the next to rarest drop?

Wtf is the "Diamond Crystal" for?

Is the Bomb Summon spell a rare drop or the next to rarest drop?

[JCE3000GT]

Is the Granite Sword the rare drop, or the next to rarest drop? -> I don't remember.

Wtf is the "Diamond Crystal" for? -> Only to sell for money.

Is the Bomb Summon spell a rare drop or the next to rarest drop? -> Rarest drop...or at least I think it was.

Well, it's the renamed Medusa Sword, if you still remember.

Btw, I did say way back that you don't sell Holy/White arrows. The only time you give them is at Mt. Hobs in the treasure chest closest to Chang.

Also, remember why there is a v1.1 of FF2? Well, IIRC, it is either the certain set of enemies.. or the gradual pertrification of the Medusa/Granite Sword vs certain enemies that makes the AI go nuts and lock up the game.

Btw, regarding the Cursed Ring, when do the drops start. I would've thought the Spirit/Soul enemies would drop them.. but either you tweaked it so they don't drop at all, or they drop very very seldomly...

I don't remember the drop info for the Granite sword.  I thought Toroia old the White Arrows.  And the Cursed ring was solely meant to be an "accidental lucky drop".  It has insane defensive properties that should make the game easier.

Check the drop for the Gr. Naga.

I'll double check Toria when I get there.. but I don't recall it being sold there.

I was planning to harvest the Cursed Rings late game.. but praying for a few early.

Did that sword drop for you?

One of those towns I put as many arrows as possible--I may have missed one.  Whoops.

I plan on adding a few more shops in my new FF4r hack, two of which will be arrow shops.

Yes, and I really wasn't expecting it.

Ok.

Hmm.. I understand the MP Tab and Tella being able to use Cure4 ONLY if that was used.. however, I don't see the logic in allowing Tella to have the Life2 spell available. That's just a wasted spell slot.

Also, I don't understand why you made the KarateGi that much better than the Knight Armor.. like, it's far superior, and yet 1/2 the price. Even worse.. it doesn't even compare with the Mythril Armor...

The Holy arrows are not sold at Toroia.

Also, I don't quite understand why the weaker Dark Knight armor is sold at Fabul.. but the "missing set" is sold at Agart... is there more I should know about the armor?

I never liked Tella, so I pretty much made him useless.  Most people would ASSUME the Knight/Mythril armor is superior because they aren't hackers like you.  I left a few "buggets" for people who take the time and compare equipment old versus new.  You'd be surprised how long I used to hack the Thief's armor equipped because of the stat bonus. 

The Dark Knight equipment is just some random shit I threw in there.  I can't remember if anyone else can equip that stuff or not.

There's the equipment bug. I thought it was the Mythril Glove that was bugged, but clearly it is the armor.

Awsome!  An actual bug I don't remember.  I'll fix any bugs you encounter when you finish the game.

That brings me to the following question for DKK, have you fixed any bugs for my FF2usHT?  Or was it just FF3usHT? 

And I hope you still have that FF3usHT bugfix edition...I would like to finish it and release it.
