I will be sure to add learned to the US option.  I am looking at those fields thoroughly when I arrive there too... that section won't be for a while because Junon and Corel are before it etc. I just looked at that field and it defo needs more work.  But like I said... it is being done in order now.

edit.

Actually that field has not been translated.   For some reason the word learnt has ended up there though.

I noticed that "Thundaga" rolls a bit over the border in the battle magic menu. Do you think maybe the selection box should be wider?

I also noticed that recently.  But is that when you use translation option?

I haven't really tried the translation option yet. I've changed the spell names into more modern ones manually in the past, but since they are in this mod, I thought maybe it would be useful to point it out anyway. Although, if by any chance the translation option magically resizes the selection box, then I guess not...

the only way to get those new spells working with this is to run the install option with translation and then use touphscript to place your own version back over the top.

Use ts to DECODE (d) the game you have now...  then use translation option in M005a.. Then go back to ts and select to encode (e).

Translation version has a larger box.  The new translation version is coming soon anyway with huge improvements.  Until then, and if you want to keep your own, use the above method.

I am going to try and get a release of this by tonight.  That depends on if Lex is on to complete the Scottish dialect for translation version.  M005a is now unsupported and has been removed.

I also tried to increase the Chocobo names a player can have to 8 characters.  Sadly, there is a lot more work involved in that and it would include script changes and probably save map changes.

The work certainly doesn't equal the pay off in this case.

I'm afraid increasing chocobo name length would be rather trivial as it would need an extreme reconfiguration of memory pointers assigned for those. I tried doing that once and it turned out as a nightmare.

yup.  I had a look myself.  There were tons of pointers all over the show and then script changes needed too.  In fact nightmare is the word I used.

I thoroughly read through the first post and read the FAQ but I don't see a link to download anymore. If the latest version is not finished may I please have a link to download the best version available right now or is there some reason why we can't use them?

I'm having trouble with DLPB's installers.


I'd like to know if it's possible to release the mod package without the installer.

ie, just a zip file with all the modifications so I could write my own install script using lgp & unlgp

The reason being that I am trying to install in linux through WINE, and I don't think that will ever work.

Apparently, when run in WINE, the installer attempts to open an a great many file descriptors (lots of little files in lgp archives?) along with numerous X clients (multiple instances of cmd.exe); thousands of each.

In Ubuntu, file descriptors are limited to 1024 by default, and in X11 clients are limited to 255.

I was able to work around the file limit through some config file hacking, but I don't even know if it's possible to change X11's client limit.

I poked around in the dlpb-mods folder and found something interesting: most of the patchers can be run directly on linux.
In fact lgp.exe and unlgp.exe can also be run directly on linux.

If I could make a shell script to do what the installer does, there may not be any need to modify the other executables and I could probably get around WINE's difficulties.

Wait for M05b which uses my own patcher.  As for your question, the answer is no.  The reason an installer exists is because doing it manually is a nightmare.  I certainly won't provide support for any problems when not using my installer.

There are quite a few bat files yes, but they should work fine, no? Anyway, most of them are gone now too with M05b.

A different patcher executable might help.

Is there any way to extract the files from your installers?

I think the main problem is with ulgp.exe and the batch files, which are opening too many files and too many processes.

This may not be a problem on Windows, and WINE on linux can do much of what Windows can do, but linux has more strict security restrictions.

What gets me is just how close I get to installing with your installers.
They run, even with Sephiroth and Music, and they seem to do their thing.
I can only see them fail if I run them from terminal and behold the torrential flood of errors.

Its a Inno Setup Installer so to extract the files from the installer you will need to use "Innounp" in WINE to extract the files (http://innounp.sourceforge.net/), that will extract all the files from the installer. Hope that helps.

Hey Everyone,

So I know that on the first post were being told to wait for M005b (Or is it M05b?), and hopefully not long after, the release of Bootleg 0039, but my question is does ANYONE have a WORKING link to M005a containing "MO.exe", it seems like every link ever mentioned is dead :'(

Trying to get Bootleg 0038 up and running and this is the only thing I can't seem to get a hold of, so if anyone could maybe upload this file and post a link, it would be greatly appreciated,

Thankyou! :-)

You can wait 1 day.  It is pointless downloading the other now.  Wait.

But surely someone has just 1 working link on this entire forum or could take the 5 minutes to upload it please ?? Want to get Bootleg 0038 working to compare with the soon to be released Bootleg 0039, not sure if 0038 will work with the new MO.

I can assure you you don't even need to compare it is far superior to the buggy 0038 Bootleg and yes 0039 will support the new MO..

You are welcome. Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with something in the future. I am here to help.  8-)

Uh, the link is not to M005a.exe, but to M004d.exe. Please use your eye balls and read what I typed next time.

Sorry @DLPB, I can not help but to hope that new people to this forum will use their capabilities to adapt and become the next intelligent members of this forum, such as I have done.

To all new people and Guests, please read the rules before you make a post in a topic. I was guilty of this and I was disciplined promptly by @Obesebear. Do not let it happen to you by being smart and obey the rules. They are easy to find on the home page.

I don't seem to have any problems with bootleg. Least not that I can see.
