Sorry to ask what people probably already brought to your attention.  It seems when I try to use windows 8 the models don't appear when you open the editor.  I ask for a solution because I have to leave soon because my grandma passed away and will be stuck on my laptop for 20 days that has windows 8.

Maybe that's because the char.lgp file is not found, go to the options and set the char.lgp path manually.

Random thought, would it be possible to transfer backgrounds/cameras/walkmesh from FF8/9 fields? Just a thought.

Yup, with time all is possible. And camera and walkmesh format is almost the same for FF7 and FF8.

I still need to get work done the world keeps on moving.  She wouldn't want me to be depressed 24/7.

Edit: Okay the models are unsupported with windows so you cannot view them at all.  Tested with Char thing in there and it did not solve the problem.  So you'd have to regress to windows 7 or wait until the update for windows 8 to allow for compatibility to be finished if it isnt already.

Say, is it possible to add a patch file ability to Mokou Reactor? My idea is a comparison between an original flevel.lgp and another flevel.lgp, so the editor writes only the scripts in the patch which are changed. It would be really awesome to have a 'Create Patch' and an 'Apply Patch' button. I would like to ask you other things, but this needs to be the most urgent for me at the moment.

Thanks for taking the time to think over it.

Edit: Looks like Luksy is already planing a tool for this.

there are tools for this look for a "binary diff" and "binary patch" programs many exsist already.

Now, where Luksy is try to make a flevel patcher, I want to ask you for a comfort feature. It would be great if we could create and load script templates. My imagine of it is to select a script, right click on it and choose create template. A window will pop up and ask you for the name of the the template. After I named it, Makou Reactor should write a file in a template folder. Load a template should be as easy as paste a copied script, simply right click, choose load template, a window will pop a where you can choose a template.
It is a simple, but powerful feature, because the templates are separate files we could share with each other.

One last question: Is it possible to change the global light direction? I also would like to know, if it is possible to make local lights.

Hi, we are having problems with the makou reactor.
We edited many maps which contain tutorials, but if you try in a PSP or PSX (No emulator) the game crashes when you enter in that map. When you edit a DAT the file becomes uneven and the original files are pairs, and PSX and PSP reads only archives pairs.
We added some bytes to the archives, but it doesn't work, any suggestion?

I am experiencing a bug. Whenever I change a jump type from 8-bit to 16-bit it crashes soon after. So if I try to save it or change something else it just crashes.

Yeah. And I tried with other flevel.LGPs and a PS IMG and I'm getting the same results. I decided to test on my laptop with 1.6 and the results seem to be the same.  Although the copy I have on my computer was transferred from my laptop so the problem could still potentially be on my end.

I can confirm that this also happens to me
Changing the jump type from short to long ( 8 to 16 ) it crashes within seconds

I just took a quick look at this crash and the same thing happens to me in 1.5.1 and 1.6 and when i compiled 1.6.1 from source and the same crash happens on all versions.
Here is a video showing the crash while using the default debugger in QT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNsPzYo0FT8

This seems to happen on Windows 7 but if you change the compatibility of the EXE to "Windows XP SP3" it doesn't appear to happen so to work around the problem you can just do that.

Thank you myst6re, i just saw 1.6.1 r260 code posted just now so i compiled it and it seems to be working now :), nice work thanks for this.
1 small thing though, when i use the English translation the text that is supposed to say "If $GameMoment" now says "Si $GameMoment" is this because the translation files haven't been updated yet ? (just letting you know, i know its probably because its a SVN and the default language is French but just incase it wasn't i thought i should say)

Yes, I don't update the translations files until the release.

is makou pretty much done in terms of features / script?  Or is there more?

Oh... no there is lot of more...

What I plan for the future:
  • Like the "edit text" button, I want add an action for each possible associations (jump -> label -ready for the next version-,  field model -> model editor, sound id -> sounds 'editor', ...)
  • When an id has changed (text id, triangle id, model id... this is already done for some) automatically updating ids in the script
  • In the editor window, finish to implements some pages to edit opcodes easily (for example the text window creation is implemented, but not to move a window, other examples: I want to show a preview of the field model animations, or the background parameters...)
  • Some goto/labels can be converted into if/else/while...
  • And what if I add a text editor mode? With comments?
  • Unknown opcode parameters
  • Real documentation
  • ... more ?

if you assign me any tasks via sourceforge i will get emails telling me to do them so please do assign some tasks :D.
Documentation is a really good idea there are so many things that Makou does that people dont know about. The code is pretty well commented but could aways be better as well. Also Makou Reactor could have a installer for windows (pretty easy with NSIS.) if intrested let me know the black chocobo script should provide all the needed functions for makou's install. What about adding kernel editing stuff ? i think vegetta_ss4 has a kernel Object for FF7tk mostly done Perhaps it can be used with Makou so you can do simpler kernel stuff like change kernel stored strings. In the future maybe more can be done with it .

Hello myst6re

How does MakouReactor handles word/dword alignment? Some people are experiencing problems with that, as the PSX needs a proper memory alignment in order to insert the .DAT files into the game. Please let me know.

Hmmm, no I have not thought about that. That's explain some things... I'll look at this, I promise.



Edit: To me, there are paddings between the texts part and the sounds/tuts part. And paddings are possible between AKAOs (but not between tutorials!). To summarize, AKAOs are 4 bytes aligned.

Edit 2: Paddings in camera and walkmesh parts are already supported by Makou Reactor.
