FF3/6 - Monster Name Cleanup
« on: August 22, 2008, 12:20:52 AM »
When is that cleanup done? I figure it occurs after a character executes a command.

Like its predecessor's (FF4/5) battle engines, it doesn't properly update under some form of HP leak status. However, I found that they don't seem to update when a monster is killed via a character under Berserk status...

Is there something to the monster name cleanup call that I should understand better?

I'm not really sure what you're asking here. Some clarification, perhaps?

Ok, when you input a command and that command ends up killing the monster, the monster name cleanup function generally gets invoked here and names should disappear after an entire group of the same monster are killed.

This cleanup tends to not be invoked when certain statuses end up killing the target, such as Seizure and Poison (and possibly Regen I think).

When killing a monster under Berserk status, monster name cleanup isn't being done.

Do I need to put up a movie to demonstrate the issue?

Let me reiterate then..

In battle, when you kill all monsters of the same type, their name disappears from the list of monsters that are on the field.

Unfortunately, there are circumstances that cause the list of monsters on the field to not properly update.. like when the monsters die from poison or seizure damage.

A similar event occurs when monsters are killed by party members that are under Berserk. The monster list doesn't update for whatever the reason.

 :bah: I can't seem to reproduce it...

Anyways, here's a movie about the monster list not updating properly: http://rapidshare.com/files/140014726/FF3Hack3.7z.html

You will have to use FF3USHT 1.3g beta to see what I'm talking about.

In other words, the checks are not done properly... although this is purely cosmetic...

No, it's just that battle engine quirks are not my area. You'll have to wait for one of a couple people that know it far better than I do.
