Save here?
« on: June 15, 2008, 05:33:17 AM »
Okay, this one is so simple I'm not even bothering with a screenshot. Once again someone got their string terminator and linebreak confused and used the wrong one on the save screen. Go to headered offset 0xDE4F and change $00 to $01 so your "Save" string isn't so lonely.

No need to make another topic about this, since it also relates to the save screen. In the Japanese version when you canceled your save additional text would be printed next to the "Save" string rather than over it. This is very simple to restore, first go to headered offset 0xDE2D and change the $46 there to $44, then go to 0xDE34 and change that $46 to $4E, when you cancel the you'll see "Save Cancelled" instead of just "Cancelled." The first change was for "Save," if it hadn't been moved left one tile the full string would have spilled over onto the border.

Triple post :eek:

Apparently there was going to be an additional cancel string for when you canceled after selecting a file, not sure why they didn't bother using it, seems positioned incorrectly based on where "Done!" shows up:



And hey, I ended up showing off "Save here?" anyway. Note that I indented the "here" for consistency with "This data?," it's not like that by default.

I just read this topic, that's very interesting.  Does this appear in FF4?

I think "Save here?" is something they broke in FF2us, since the "here?" string is already there with a terminator instead of a linebreak in front of it. A few strings were already broken in FF4 though, like the shopkeeper's message for when you're selling.

So, FF4 is indeed broken itself in many ways?  What else?

That's all I can think of right now, other than dummied strings that had to have been leftovers from FF3 (Battle speed on the main menu, "items full" text in the equipment menu).
