Unprecedented Crisis now on RHDN
« on: June 22, 2015, 08:03:23 AM »
At long last, my masterpiece is complete. A few minor things slipped by, and I'm sure there are more bugs just waiting to be found but I decided it's in a good enough state to release a 1.0 version to the world at least.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped with this, especially Grimoire LD and Chillyfeez. You guys are the best.

With that, I feel like it's time to move on to something a little different as my main project. I'm going to try my hand at NES homebrew assembly programming. This means I will probably not be making many more updates to FF4kster. I'll still be hanging around these forums, and I will be happy to fix any bugs as they come up, especially if they are easy to fix or if they are particularly severe in nature. I will probably make one more update to the RHDN version in the near future to keep it up to speed, and then that will probably be it for a while. If there is any demand for it, I will be glad to release the source code; however, it's (a) a horrible, poorly-commented mess, and (b) written in FreeBASIC, not a very mainstream language.

When I got the idea to start making FF4kster back in late 2011, I never expected it would come this far or be anywhere near as expansive and as popular as it is, and I have you guys to thank for a large part of that.

Cheers, and enjoy the hack!

Congratz  :happy:

I'll check out this hack when I have time.

Also for the FF4kser source code, I'd like to take a look at it and it might be useful for me in a near future for my FF4 monster graphic editor, which I haven't gave up the idea but right now I'm focusing on a expanded monster editor for my FF6 hack.

Congratulations, Pinkpuf!

It was my pleasure to have been of assistance whenever I could.

Out of curiosity, do you have a particular plan for a NES project?

I am glad to see the project is finally released! I am surprised to see you didn't open a news bulletin for it though on RHDN. This is The Most extensive FFIV hack out there and definitely deserves exposure through a bulletin. 

It is sad to see that you'll be moving away from this direction considering you were the foremost cause of any revolution in FFIV hacking by replacing old and buggy tools with an all-in-one, bug quashing megatool. I know a bit about Freebasic and it is amazing to hear that you made FF4kster through that! To my knowledge there was one issue that was never fixed, I could be wrong, but were Lunar Bosses ever corrected to show their appropriate AI and not the normal AI?

In any case I wish you the best of luck in your next hacking venture, heaven knows what you've done here is near beyond the scope of any other game hacking tool out there.

In the coming days I will be replaying your mod with the Paladin path to see what changes and commenting in the main topic.

Like I said, I'll still be around! I might even get around to making the odd fix or feature here and there. I'm just a little FF4-ed out at the moment, so it won't be my main focus anymore.

I'll post the code tonight if I remember or tomorrow.

I might make a news bulletin. Thanks for the comments. Feel free to leave a review on the page, though I recommend playing the finished version first. As I recall, you didn't even get to see the full ending of the path you did take. Also some NPC visibility fixes were made and Tellah's MP growth was modified a fair bit since you played last so just be aware of that if you decide to pick up your old save.

I do have a plan for NES development. First, of course, I need to figure out the dirt basic things like controller input, graphics display, palettes, music, getting functions going for all those kinds of things. But ultimately what I'd like to accomplish is to create ports of various modern board games such as Settlers of Catan, Dominion, Puerto Rico, etc., ideally implementing the Fourscore/multitap to get four players on the go. First of course, it will be simple things like Stock Ticker and Risk.

 :cookie:Congrats on the release of UC1.0! :cookie:

And thank you for creating FF4kster.  You've created an editing tool that just about anyone with the free time and motivation could create a completely new game.
Without your hard work (and everyone else's who were involved in the process) I doubt I would be working on my project, know the great people here, know the joy of sprite editing, or have been able to help anyone in any constructive way outside of beta testing. A million "Thank yous" wouldn't begin to scratch the surface of how much I appreciate that.  :happy:

So good luck on your NES homebrew project! I have a feeling you might play around with FF4kster again at some point down the line, if anything to blow off some steam. See ya around!

Yes, I can imagine that after completing such a large and in-depth project it would drain anyone's batteries. Well, you've always done really good work with whatever you've put your hand to so I imagine that your next venture will not be the exception to that.

 I will start a new game though, you are right. The ending did just stop for me, as it wasn't finished yet.

If you do have the time though I'd love to know what was added in 1.0 so I can be on the lookout to compare and contrast.

Looks really interesting! Congrats on finishing the project and its release! I'm looking forward to trying it out... :happy:

Looks great!  It was fun contributing what I could to the editor.  :)  Good luck with the NES programming!

Pinkpuff, do you think you will write a bulletin on RHDN for it?
If not, would you be opposed to one of us writing one?
I mean, that hypothetical "one of us" could even run it by you first before posting it if you'd prefer.
It just kinda seems a shame for something that took this much work and is this extensive to be left to The Fates to control who happens to stumble upon it on RHDN.

Agreed. There's quite a few really nice hacks that escaped my attention for some time because they didn't get a deserved bulletin... :sad:

For my part I am back up to the Baron Waterway, making pretty good progress, found out a few tricks I could use to gain more Exp such as leaving Tellah for dead so Rydia can almost certainly have the crucial Summons when she needs them in comparison to "just in time" or "too late", leaving Rosa dead would garner a bit more Exp as well since her part in the first part of the game is rather small with only one dungeon and a boss she isn't too effective against.

I would love to help write the article once I finish with this particular playthrough.

I'm also looking forward to take a look at FF4kster's source code and see if I can't do anything with it in particular.
