The problem is locating the original X/Y values, since they are like in a faraway function.

This is what happens when I try to fix it with my current scripting rearrangement class:

So, did you also fix all the bugs with messages 29 and 30 in GLDST? I mean the ones about the GP->Gil exchange NPC. Those use a really weird sequence of window and message commands, so resizing them is tricky if not totally anal due to a subcall containing just the message code, while the main has the window code.

Put a read-breakpoint on a monster HP parameter and see where it copies that for in-battle stats, then remove the original breakpoint and set another read one on the copied HP value (this should pause the game each frame). Activate Sense and see if there's an additional process accessing the HP copy value: that's 100% sure the Sense initiation code.

People who don't know Cloud never refer to him by his name, just like these guards. My guess is that the translator wasn't really familiar with this scene's context, so he had to make a rough guess of the situation. Japanese is frequently subject to this kind of mistakes.

「あっ、先輩！This is the dialog with the incorrectly translated Cloud tag. The problem here is 先輩 (sempai): the guard is talking to the other officer, but the translator probably intended the target of sempai as the player, hence why it says Cloud. So, basically, replace Cloud with "sir" or something similar to get the real thing.

Team Avalanche / Re: Fonts problem
« on: 2010-09-08 16:25:52 »
The current font mod isn't complete, so you'll have to wait a little longer for the newest version to be released. That one will hopefully contain a whole character set and a font-face more similar to the original (Verdana).

« on: 2010-08-31 11:48:09 »
I'm not exactly sure what is your problem with this algorithm, but I'd suggest you to implement a proper ring buffer, just in case. Or you could take Haruhiko Okumura's implementation of the FF7 LZSS and alter it to use buffers (like I did for my tools).

He became popular after he quit Sony and started working for some game companyWait, what? No. Both the SPC700 and the SPU were designed by Ken Kutaragi. Akao was Square's major sound programmer during the PlayStation era, but he never did any hardware design. I think you're confusing their names or something.

So, how do you plan to fix the lack of animations that only Cloud, Tifa, and Cid possess? IIRC, no other playable character has any animation for rope and ladder climbing.

FF7 Tools / Re: Wall Market, FFVII KERNEL.BIN editor
« on: 2010-07-14 13:28:53 »
What WallMarket calls as "Dual" is actually the dummy status Ref-Absorb. Afaik, it was never really implemented and makes abolutely no change in battle, even thought it does appear next to the current HP in non-Occidental versions. Anyway, the status screen skips it, so it's safe to assume it does absolutely nothing.

« on: 2010-07-14 08:36:23 »I personally think that a lot of new stuff will pop up if they reverse engineer theI've done that with the sampler disc and there's just the necessary data for the demo to work. Moreover, the demo uses KERNEL.BIN to store all the enemy data (IIRC, there's no SCENE.BIN) and item strings are fixed length instead of pointer-based.

FF7 Tools / Re: Automatic 'parser' for working with AI code (and Welder)
« on: 2010-07-13 18:39:08 »
So you made this because working on the code with WM/PC is a royal pain in the ass and you'd rather do it in some other editor? 
Hmm, I think I may have a solution to this problem: a proper parser. Shouldn't be too hard to adapt the one I made for FIELD to also work with AI commands.

Throw them in the "empty" region of the texture, then call those with the 0xF8XX code and you should do no harm to any text that uses special characters.

Most of the pixels perfectly overlap, like a 98% match. Proof:
30% transparency for Dissidia Cloud in this picture.
Come on boys, it's definitively a rip, no matter the little changes and the blurry pieces he later added to cover it all.

Even if he made a program to rip the model and converted them don't you think he could make a simple texture?Funny, because only the face has sharp traits, while the rest is all blurry.
