You're lucky I'm too busy hunting for residence to start off another violent and bloody graphics war or something.   :erm:

Maybe I'll sit down and finish Rearl.swf........................

Wedge and Biggs.  Biggs was renamed Vicks in the original US release of FF6, due to Lucas-related whining.

Also, FF8;  The SeeD you're promoted with, and later flies the Garden for you is Nida (Needa).  Another Star Wars reference

Currently, there is no "Perfect" way to view the models short of exporting them and reconstucting them as I have done. Sorry.

I've found no errors in any of the models with Ficedula's latest Ifalna release.  But, that's just the Field sprites.

Don't know if anyone's planning on making a Battlescape viewer or anything along those lines, but aside from Hojo and few other models....and the Yoga-inspired poses, Mirex's Leviathan displays the battle sprites adequately.

That's what I figured.  But there's nothing else remotely constructive I can do, so I figured I'm make sure anyway.  x.x

And will the next Ultima release possibly have some way of converting existing models that were edited on the older versions into 'fixed' models, by any chance?  For those of us impatient fools who've made too many edited .p files with the existing Ultima.  x.X

That smells like someone's expectin' a new version of Ultima ...  

...and the wolves circle.

 :wicked:

pointless update;

For the record, my ultima-modified models produce a Stream Error in Fice's new Ifalna.  Not that I was expecting otherwise, but I figured I'd check anyways.

Don't mind me, suffering severe medication withdrawals for the time being.

Also, out of curiousity, has there been any other progress on the battle files?  Like maybe an updated Leviathan in the works?   =o

« on: 2002-10-06 04:48:29 »

I thought everyone knew all I work with is Ultima, really.  o.O

Of course, 90% of the models I make are really just altered FF7 ones in case that wasn't insanely obvious.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / I just had a very odd idea.....

« on: 2002-10-01 04:42:36 »

Depends on the quality.  I ripped my FF7 collection for slightly more quality than yours, for example.  383mb.  Chop the bitrate down to something like 62, and you could probably get something around a hundred mb.

But offhand, I'd say just use MIDIs.  It's just a GBA, not a home stereo.

And yes, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / World Map Question

« on: 2002-09-29 01:33:37 »

I think I already pointed it out, but those images are at RPGamer, too.  There should be some World Map thread I made a few months ago with what little info we have on the Map in it

All I have to say, is I remember that RPGamer and a few other sites were claiming Square actually was porting FF7 to the GBA....for April 1st

Word.  I'll check and see if my edited models work in this new viewer later.  Are you intending to refine this viewer or anything along those lines?  ie; Filter the animations, control the rotation of the models, etc.  Or is Fice going to incorporate the new advances into a new Ifalna, or whatnot?

I've been out of touch for a while, in case no one missed me.... :weep:

I should be around to be somewhat useful for the forseeable future though.

 A bit late, but some other models that have that similar problem;
Pinball Elevator
Rufus' Car
Hojo's Battle model head has a similar problem.

It sounds like this new guy's fixed the bug...  Think anyone could take a stab at explaining what the problem was to a layman?  Just curious.

Troubleshooting / Ultima .031

« on: 2002-08-11 17:41:28 »

I know the Preview bug is known;  I'm saying that whatever the problem is, it seems to be related to the same type of bug that's shown up in Fice's latest Ifalna release

This may sound utterly stupid, but how exactly do you use the Scaler?  ie; What number values will accomplish what.

No Edge models;  Any model that you edit the Polys, or add/remove Verts will cause the Edge model to throw errors at you.  The scaled down Weapon models I found in Magic.LGP lack edge models, for example.

Also, new bug;  The Translator (and probably the Scaler, which might be why I can't get it to work) doesn't read Decimal points.
ie;  If you try and translate the model 1.66 points in whichever direction....it'll actually move it 166.0

Troubleshooting / Ultima .031

« on: 2002-08-09 23:23:39 »

Curses.  My attempt to post earlier failed.
::attempts to recall................::

...Maybe I just have no idea how to use the Scaler, then.  -.-

wireframe model = Edge view

theory:  The color patcher is altering *something* besides just the RGB values. That's why the model will appear 'inside-out' in the Previewer....Also, I've narrowed down a previous bug that now I think is related to this one;
http://forums.qhimm.com/viewtopic.php?t=1410

Edited models that I don't use the Color patcher on display fine;  If the color patcher is used, then the inversion stuff happens.

Yeah, Phantasy Star III was more of a side story than a real part of the series.

And people have yet to figure out how (if at all) Phantasy Star Online fits in...

Troubleshooting / Ultima .031

« on: 2002-08-07 18:18:39 »

:love:   my hero~   :love:

Oh, and just a small addendum to the buglist;
When you edit a vert, the vert list resets to the top of the list (thus forcing you to go hunt for whatever vert you were at).  .030 didn't...  And that's the main reason I haven't been using .031 that much

Also, the Save view to bitmap feature works fine ^_^
Only thing I have to say 'bout it, is if it's possible to seperate the, uh... 'Path memory' for Saving the bitmaps from the Open/Save .p file ones.  As in, In a vain attempt to keep my computer somewhat organized, I store graphics and such at different locations than where the FF7 files are.  As it is now, I have to go hunting back and forth each time I take a snapshot, open a model, take another snapshot, et al.

Just on of those help convenience hints, not a major gripe.
