Title: Making dialog boxes and text completely transparent?
Post by: GK on 2006-03-09 22:45:22

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a way to do two things...
1. Make the dialog boxes and text COMPLETELY transparent (so they're basically not there anymore).
2. Remove the number that shows when you hit someone in battle.

Any help would be really appreciated.  I'm attempting to make a FFVII gameplay movie with voice acting and everything (it'll be distributed for free if I finish it), since just text boxes would be pretty lame...

Yes and yes. I know the offsets already, but you'll have to wait for the patch.

Here's your voice talent! *is kind of kidding*

If you need a voice though, look me up. 8)

No time... If you're familiar with disassembler NOP these calls:

Code: [Select]

005BB724     E8 2D000000    CALL ff7.005BB756
006EC28F     E8 D9ADFFFF    CALL ff7.006E706DOr, if you're familiar with hex editor:

Code: [Select]

Offset: 01BAB24   Change: E8 2D 00 00 00   To: 90 90 90 90 90
Offset: 02EB68F   Change: E8 D9 AD FF FF   To: 90 90 90 90 90If it doesn't tell you anything, please wait for a patch.

The hex editor will do it for me.  Thanks dziugo!

An interesting idea, would go nicely with the other patch's that have come out. FF7 with voices, I mean.
