I think they're staying as-is, though if something better comes to mind for Cid that can fit into the kernel (I'm at the hilt for AI space) then his might change.
Putting the flevel patch together for tonight. I've been fixing things over the last few weeks but not keeping a note on it;
-) Prior to Junon Raid, player can equip Barret, Cait Sith, and Yuffie altogether so they don't need to do it later.
-) Added proper Save Point + Shop option (instead of Rank Up for this specific save point only) to Junon Raid when Yuffie joins.
-) Fixed the Rocket Town cutscene skip options (options had opposite intended effects)
-) Lost & Found NPC on Highwind updated with correct battle (to activate Cloud's Innate) + key items
-) Various typos fixed in scenes
-) Adjusted volume on sound effects on Mako Cannon scene
-) Fort Condor Teleport NPC's money check script (finally) fixed
-) Ziegfried encounter on field screen
-) Game no longer softlocks when visiting Priscilla with Tifa or Cid as party leader on Disc 3
-) Requirement to start Kalm Traveler sidequest returned to original
-) Various text alignments using max-length names to avoid text-box problems with long custom names (likely more to be made, but all reported instances should be fixed now)
-) The scorpion has finally been eradicated from the church, for real this time
-) Micro Engine drop added to Love Buster; is also available from Lost & Found NPC on Highwind if enemy was already killed
-) Gold Chocobo script enabled
-) Unequip party member options removed from late-game to prevent loss of Materia
-) Changed the Fort Condor 'all battles won' prize to something worthwhile
-) Item checks for crafting Ultimate Weapons scoured and should be working now
That's what I've done today anyway + could remember from before. If I've missed anything/not mentioned it, then let me know so I can check if it was fixed or not. The patch will be generated and uploaded a few hours from now to give people some time to report unmentioned bugs/make quick suggestions. I'll be trialing some early access to Materia like Added Cut and Slash-All to see if a hybrid build can be utilised earlier in the game; I've an idea for how it could work.
Plan for the scene.bin/enemy patch
-) Implement Morph plan for North Crater enemies (if this fails, I'll re-work it so that one weapon is a drop and the other is a steal).
-) SP Gained text removed from all Midgar enemies (done)
-) Hojo overhaul (in progress)
-) Various boss overhauls/tweaks based on playthrough; Lambda Calcule, Gi Kattan, and COMMANDO squad affected (done)
-) Adjust enemy strength of Junon League Bracket #1 so it can be challenged properly on Disc 1 after getting the buggy (rewards will be adjusted accordingly, with something from each enemy as well).
-) Adjust SP script for all enemies above Lv.44 so that they can work with the Level Synch
-) Corel Train adjustment
-) SOLDIER & COMMANDO enemies had their AI and attacks overhauled so they have some consistency/more attack options
-) Wrong attack issue on Hungry enemy
-) Final Battle (alt) tuned for a solo character, rather than 2 like it was originally.
This might be a couple of days, the 2nd and 3rd Hojo scripts are being rewritten from the ground up. Again, if I haven't mentioned something then let me know.
Probably a technical issue because of the spoiler tag or something. The Fort Condor prize is a p
I can change Limit Break kill/usage requirements and the HP% damage needed to fill them at each level through the Kernel; the actual damage/effects of the Limits themselves are stored in the .EXE so I can make these changes if needed. As far as kills go for a low level run, I could help out by adding an enemy here or there that gives 0EXP; Mango Fangs on the Temple Area (wasteland areas on the tip of the isle) already give 0 EXP for instance (I think). I'd be reluctant to just lower the kills needed specifically for low level games, as there was another player on ID saying he had Limit Level 3 for Tifa by the time he reached Junon or thereabouts (though that might have been a grind heavy run).
This, I think, is a really bad idea to have built into the mod for everyone. As someone who does a bit of grinding when he plays, lowering the kill count for gaining limit breaks will mean access for super-powered lvl 3's way early. Like, it wouldn't be difficult to have access to Meteorain, Meteodrive, or Angermax before I left Midgar with those kill counts.
I personally feel the same way the FF6 BNW guys (and I'm sure a number of others) do about this--balancing a mod around LLG's basically makes your mod a LLG mod and kind of ruins it for everyone else.
A potential solution to this problem is making an item causing 0 XP gains accessible from the beginning, and then LLG players could grind kills for limits and level where they felt they needed to. This is what BNW did (they actually eventually instituted a "No XP" switch in the options menu), and it's worked fairly well from what I understand.
None that I'm aware of; I just checked and there's a donation that's come through from you on the 27th (much obliged for that, by the way). Maybe it stops you from you making too many consecutive payments to the same person for security.
I think just throwing Double-Cut earlier in the game would be valuable enough. I feel like Green+ALL is the AoE advantage that magic gives you. While physical attacks can help you focus targets down. In my current run, to really be able to take advantage of physical power with people like Tifa. I am having to load them with Cover/Counter materia. If she had double-cut, ti would make her more effective than just a beat-stick and returns the hits
I can bump Added Cut into Midgar with an MP penalty on it or something (or set up to take a MP penalty if the optional .EXE patch is combined with it). Elemental is available fairly early, but again could be moved back. An issue might be having Elemental + [Bolt], Added Cut + [Bolt] together for a 2x effective elemental spell followed by a 2x effective physical attack...but that would also make a hybrid build viable and make a case for melee/front row spell casters to make better use out of the Added Cut follow-up. Hmm.
Slash-All might have to be left where it is though; I don't think it imposes a damage penalty/split damage on the attack. If I can make that happen though then I'd have no issues with making it available on Disc 1 so I'll tinker with the flags. If it does work, then it might also be possible to toggle between single target and multi-target like with spells but won't know until I try it in-game.
What do you guys think? Would it be more interesting to have options like Added Cut, Command Counter, etc. available from Midgar or am I front-loading the game too much?
Edit: Put in an all-nighter (getting too old for that) and Dark Cave is almost done. It's a lot closer now to how I originally envisioned it; not 100%, but closer.
Edit: So I made the changes suggested (Reactive Guard for Cid and Mimesis for Cloud), and space-wise it was within bytes of being too much. Maybe that's a sign.
So the way they'll work is:
-) When Cid is in the front row and he takes damage, he gains Barrier. If he's in the back row, he gains MBarrier.
-) After a story point, Cloud will gain +25 to Strength or Magic based on the last player command used. If Attack/Limit/Deathblow, etc. are used then he gains Strength. If it was Magic, etc. then he gains Magic. He can't have both boosts at the same time.
One thing forgot to mention for Red, the total boost he can get now is +50 instead of +30; that change was made when 1.4 first released I think.
.Can someone post the rank 1 (or zero? dont know) stats for each character please?
I might change the stats of my characters, i chose the first rank option for everyone but i guess i want to try other combinations.
Alright, then; I'll sort it out.
hmm. dunno what to think about a hidden passive like that xD having power is more fun if you know you have it imohavn't noticed anything special about him but im only just reaching junon so got plenty of time left to figure it out before i'm able to ditch cloud and use 3 passives i know
Does Cloud have a hidden "Character Innate" bonus ? from what i can tell he's the only one who lacks it.
.
That's really disappointing that it broke; might be the adds not being cleaned up properly or maybe an attack that wasn't set. I could set up a secret backdoor so you can get the KOTR Materia rather than fight it again? I'll get it fixed ASAP in any case.
How much HP does each Goldberry have? I'd like to test a couple of things out on these guys and knowing how much HP they have will let me know if it's worthwhile or not.
Now I've been doing a No-Rank up run of the game so I'm not sure what kind of stat defecit I have at this point. I imagine most other people wll have significantly stronger characters.
So the battle script for Netzech, how does it work? Sometimes he does one magitek bomb, sometimes 3 in a row even without his minions up (guess what, 3 in a row mostly kills my casters even with Wall up, wierd huh?). Same with the other abilities, what triggers all of it?
