Buster Sword for all Weapons Patch
« on: 2008-04-09 03:08:49 »
So, I made this patch (since there were a few people looking for it), and I was about to put it up on megaupload when I realized it might be illegal since it contains modified copies of kernel.bin and kernel2.bin, which are based on the originals.  I know zero888 released his new spell patch in a similar method, but I was never sure that was legal either.  If anyone has any feedback or knows of a good way to distribute only the changes it would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Here is the url for th the patcher http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZOMOAMWM

Weel, if it's not a mega-complicated tweak, you could just tell people how to do it?
Otherwise, if you're worried about legal issues, I'm not sure wether this is or not.But people who want it could pm you there email address, and you could mail the files to them??

Just a suggestion :-)

You are looking for a delta patch(er). The SaiNt's HiRes patch uses that technique, so you might wanna see how it's done, and... Be creative :P

Thanks dziugo that was exactly what I wanted to know.
I made a nifty little installer with VPatch and NSIS, and the link is up above.
This just changes the KERNEL.BIN file such that all of clouds weapons point to the buster sword model and attack texture graphics.  Yes, this would be fairly easy to do by yourself, but it only took me like 30 sec to make the modifications to KERNEL.BIN, and I wanted to see if I could make an installer :wink:

Ya, I made one that changes all the weapon names to things like Buster Sword MK III and stuff, if you want I can release that one too, I just have to make another installer.

If the buster swords look different to the original ff7 ones then post screens please because people want to know that they aren't downloading a virus or anything.

No it is just the original buster sword, it was just that there were two requests at the same time for someone to make one, and it was really easy so I did.  I don't really know what I could take a picture of to prove this isn't a virus, but you have my word that (to the best of my knowledge) this file is virus free.  If you are still woried about it you could make the changes yourself by opening kernel.bin with FF7 GZIP and then hex editing kernel.bin5 so that addresses 0009, 0035, 0061, 008d, ..., 029d are 00 and addresses 0027, 0053, 007f, 0a0b, ..., 02bb are 09, and then re-compress it (this is exactly what I did, and then I used VPatcher to make a .pat file which I then used to make an NSIS installer script).  The version I will release when I get home I just used Teioh to change the names of clouds weapons to "Buster Sword MK I" through "Buster Sword MK XV" and "Ultima Buster Sword".  When apz_freak releases his version of the buster sword model I will put it into this patch as well.
