Here are my thoughts on UC so far (up to Baron Waterway with DK Cecil, Yang, Rydia, Edward, and Cid)

1:I like how closely it sticks to the vanilla, but still with some chngews here and there in the first few areas

2:I love how characters are switched up command/spellwise. You've managed to make me not hate Edward, which I can't believe I'm saying seeing as he still autohides (which I've always hated with a passion). DK Knight Cecil has a great spellbook as well, and I'm interested in how Rosa will develop later on.

3:Any text edits I've seen so far fit with the original FFIIUS script nicely.

Though I do have one question:

How did you pull off having the scene where you talk to King Fabul in his bed lead directly into the scene where they leave the harbor? That was really cool, plus saved me having to sit through that random chat at Fabul Inn haha.

I just pasted the code for the second part onto the end of the first. You should be able to achieve this in FF4kster by pressing shift-enter on the second event, then insert on the first.

If you hate autohide, you'll love Edward 2.

OMG I totally forgot to upload the code! Here it is:

http://timecave.net/ff4kster/FF4kster-source-2015-06-25.zip

Good luck making any sense of it ^_^;

I think I can understand a good deal of what's going on here and adding new functionality may not be as difficult as it looks... For a test I would try and implement Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Bonuses as they would apply innately to Characters. (then x2 from weapons, or x4 if wielding a Bow and Arrow).

But I can't quite figure out how to Compile the Source I have Freebasic now and FBIde to do so with, but I can't make out how to compile the folder into a .bas file for compiling to create an FF4kster.

Code: [Select]
fbc main.bas
That should do it.

Hmm, I added the definition of critical_hit_rate and critical_hit_bonus to three separate files, character.bas, characterstartingmenu.bas, along with the latter file in the methods folder.

Unfortunately it had no effect. Ah well, it was worth a shot anyhow.

Ok I gave in and made a news article. Should be up in the next day or two, just waiting for approval.

Some slight suggestions, it seems that I wasn't the only one to feel a little lost once I got the Black Chocobo, I think some text is in order once the Earth Crystal is retrieved maybe something like...

Rydia: We have three of the crystals, now what do we do?
Cecil: We can't put Baron at risk...
Yang: And Fabul is in no condition to keep them...
Cid: What about the Ninjas?
Yang: Of course! The people of Eblan should be able to help us!
Cecil: Then we head for Eblan.

Their main goal at this point is rescuing rosa, and secondary goal to get back the other two crystals. Maybe something like:

"Now that Toroia is safe we can go get Rosa back."
"Not to mention the other two crystals."
"They're all probably being held in Golbez's base of operations: The Tower of Babil"
"How do we get in?"
"Perhaps someone in the neighbouring kingdom of Eblan can help us"

Much better! It was rather late when I wrote that, must have confused the two scenarios, yes. At this point Air is held by Barabariccia. Sort of forgot about that.

People do have a point on the Damage Tiles, it seems a common complaint and it is a bit time consuming I would suggest a truce in the matter.

What about a Drop Item that enemy's in the Underworld can commonly drop that casts a Single Target Float and an Uncommon enemy item that casts Float on the Party only in-battle (which is then carried out of battle). Since you have all of these dummied status healing items, it would be a simple matter to change... say the Antidote to a (Float symbol)Feather and the uncommon item changed from Eggtimer as (Float Symbol) Graceful. This would accomplish two things. It would provide a use for Steal, I've noticed it's not that useful in this mod, it coincides with Edge's time of prominence as well, and it would provide a purpose to fighting other than just Exp. and Gil. Normal players may have... 5 or 10 by the time they reach the dungeons whereas a more observant player through liberal use of Steal can prepare themselves adequately. There would be no room for complaints as there is a way and the player will know this way by the time they reach the dungeons.

I posted an idea of my own for a compromise on the main news thread on RHDN. Your idea is interesting too though. Maybe I can implement both. Maybe the butterfly creatures can provide them via common/steal drop.

I like the idea you propose and if you wanted to make it only available as a Steal/Drop from the RockMoth I would suggest changing a Dwarf (probably in Tomra since it's where most of the text has already been changed) somewhere to say something like...

"Followers of Bahamut often take the wings of RockMoths to float over the poison in the Lagoon."

That way the observant player would be able to realize they can get these from RockMoths in one way or another, if you wanted it only on RockMoths.

There is also the option to change the damage or the damage formula that the damage tiles do. I found that data some time ago.

I like that idea. I'll probably leave the damage amount alone; don't want to go too far in the other direction.

RockMoth, GlomWing (which will be a common encounter in the ice cave), and the eye type enemies will drop them. It's usable in battle only but remains after and targets all allies.

That all sounds like a good use of the system then!

I just noticed a glitch which is a bit humorous. You can run from the Zombies in Cecil's Paladin Trial. Talk about losing the entire meaning of the event, haha!
