Releases / Re: [FF7PC] Ultima Espio Aeris patch (2011-03-23)
« on: 2014-10-17 20:39:36 »It would be fun to start over, it would be a nice project There's a lot more oddities in the code that aren't as obvious, and there's quite a lot of them...so starting over sounds better than tracking them down. On top of that I can throw bits out and add bits in.
Dialogue was a problem last time. I'm not even sure if any of it is grammatically correct, or if it even makes sense.
However there is one other project involving Aeris that I want to finish first...
Hmm, alright. I've very thoroughly tested every event with multiple party combinations up through the sub acquisition and did find oddities or missing scripts in most of them, all of which I've corrected and thoroughly retested. I'll be doing a total overhaul of the return to the Forgotten Capital event, so I haven't started work on that yet.
The main thing I noticed about her dialogue (other than the quotations and ellipsis format) is that in most places it's just a slight variation of Tifa's. I've replaced a lot of it with more unique bits playing off of her established personality of being optimistic, confident, assertive, and adventurous.
I also moved her to the main deck of the Highwind (she stands to the right of Red XIII). I absolutely understand why you put her where you did, and it works fine, but I kind of like her being present with the rest of the party and not having to go out of the way to interact with her. I actually toyed with exchanging her's and Tifa's positions, leaving her where Tifa normally is and moving Tifa down to stand by Red, but it ultimately didn't really feel right. I also made fixes to her script so that she properly rotates and doesn't initiate dialogue on touch.
Obviously I will not distribute any of this without your permission, but I do think it when I'm done it would be worth your time to take a look at it and perhaps use it (or parts of it) as a basis for any future work you do for aeris-based patches.
