Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Re: (PSX FF7) Cloud with Wolfmeister's sword - custom weapon model migration
« on: 2012-09-15 13:06:40 »
@Lazy - Those are precisely the codes I mean 
I kind of figured I would get an explanation like the one you provided. I have essentially zero knowledge concerning code/programming so I can basically only throw ideas at the wall and see if any of them stick. Although you've explained that resizing might be difficult and that not all enemy parts may be used - I think that there could be an abundance of "weapons" for Barret. Whether this is useful to you (given the fact you are doing this work for the prequel) I do not know.
You're treading into new territory for VII PSX modding and are unlocking many new possibilities. Fortunately and Unfortunately, this often occurs when modding VII and you start with one simple project and it branches off into half a dozen. I respect the fact that you will likely work on completing the prequel, but keep in mind that there are endless other possibilities. Ok, I'm rambling and daydreaming of the beautiful possibilities - keep up the great work.

EDIT: I must not have fully read your initial post - you've already explained that the above ideas are possible! Oops.
Well, I would be more than willing to go through all the enemy models and make a list of potentially awesome segments to use.
EDIT 2: Well, it looks 100 different things would make good Gunarms for Barret, and there is a shortage of Glove's for Tifa (unless you can resize roundish enemies into Glove size [Bomb Gloves!]) and probably nothing for Red. But here:

I imagine that this is like hardcore, except you are weaker, enemies are more powerful, items are harder to attain, materia are harder to level,
spells do less damage, exp is harder to earn, etc. If you can beat Regular VII in 40 hours, hardcore in 70 hours, this will probably take 100+
and you will probably see the game over screen much more often. You will have to perfect your technique instead of relying on being more
powerful and better equipped than the enemies. You see a Mechanical Enemy? You better make sure that every member of your party has
a way of maximizing their ability to do lightning damage without sacrificing your ability to keep your team alive. Remember the first time you
you played through VII (assuming you hadn't played many RPGs beforehand)? Probably going to be more difficult than that. Remember getting
stuck at Jenova Birth and the Materia Keeper and not knowing how the hell to move forward? Its probably like that for every boss.

Gameplay / Re: Change Steal/Mug to switch the way Throw/Coin does?
« on: 2012-09-01 04:57:37 »
I am fairly sure I've made Materia in WM that have only had the Steal or Mug or Throw or Coin abilities. If you plan on having these materia retain
their ability to split upon MASTER level, you could always just have them MASTER upon attaining the new skill.
i.e. Steal
+25000 AP -> Mug (MASTER) -> Steal is Born
At least one of these options is a viable, and much less complicated method of accomplishing your intentions.

Not to post a comment of little relevance, but I just wanted to say this is excellent work. I really don't know what most of it means, but it looks substantial and it pertains to VII PSX (maybe PC too?). I know that there are members here that will find this information useful, and I imagine some ingenious ideas may spring from your findings.

Gameplay / Re: Mod: FF7 Prequel (input requested)
« on: 2012-08-12 00:55:00 »
Hey Lazy, this is a bit late, but welcome to qhimm.
I am a big fan of your work with GSHI (if it is even still called that) and before entering the world of FFVII modification, I was using gameshark hacks from your site and anti-gsc.
If you are still interested in input for prequel ideas, I've always envisioned a Sephiroth's Story prequel based only on the information found in the original VII. This would primarily include:
-Sephiroth's role in the Wutai War
-Sephiroth's conception (Lucrecia/Vincent/Hojo's story)
-Ilfalna/Gast's story
Of course, these ideas combined with bits involving the Ancient Temple, Ancient City, Jenova's "calamity from the sky", the introduction of WEAPONs, some in-depth exploration of the lifestream (possibly from various perspectives), and even the beginning of ShinRa could make for a game that could rival the original VII. Zack's story need not be a major component of a prequel given the fact that the vast majority of the events that led to VII's story took place before Zack was involved, but some cameo appearances couldn't hurt.
I don't have much to offer in terms of scripting/coding, but if you needed someone to work on the kernel and scene for a potential project(s), I have a decent amount of experience (perhaps you've seen LostWing or Revisited?). Anyway, glad to see you here and good luck with any future projects - plz don't let them go to the qhimm graveyard.

DLPB I am going to try to say this without being offensive.
People played FFVII with the bad localization and grew to love it. Why is it such a vexxing flaw then? Personally, I cringe when I see text changes however "more accurate" they may be. What if I was on some island and someone told me about Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches except they were made with Almond Butter. I ate Almond Butter and Jelly sandwiches all my life and thought they were the greatest thing ever. Then someone from the mainland came and said "that i wrong, you are suppose to eat Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches." Should I enjoy Almond Butter and Jelly sandwiches any less? Are they necessarily inferior to the intended sandwich? Whatever laws exist in FFVII, millions of people played it as it was, and love it because of what it was. Altering it 15 years later to be more faithful to the true intentions of the creators is not necessarily an improvement. I know it is your opinion, so I'm glad you enjoy better translation. But if Barret went around saying "Hi Ho the darrio" as a catchphrase and I played the game and loved it even though he was suppose to say "That giant pizza in the sky", most people would probably prefer him to say the incorrect, but initially meaningful phrase, than the after-the-fact accurate phrase. You probably already know all this, but I figured I'd say something to get your thoughts.

PvP is always something that I thought might be fun, the only problem is that KOR would have to be eliminated and player characters would have to have 100k HP minimum. 1mil HP per character would be more reasonable - At least at max level. Another problem is that some people would probably develop optimum setups which everyone would use, and everyone would also create 255 stats maxxed out parties which would also get boring fast.
If damage output remained the same, Sources, KOR, and Final Attack were eliminated, then maybe this would be fun. Right now I imagine a party that had one character with materia slots filled with nothing but Final Attack = Phoenix, one character with Quadra Magic = Comet2 x7 + W-Magic, and one character with 8 Counter = Mimes. Essentially this team would cause 500,000 damage per turn (if not 4mil per turn once the Counter = Mime got going) and could die 8 times with no issues. In this scenario PvP becomes something that makes people hate FFVII.

This is the Gameshark that I have.
Like I said, my PS1 and Gameshark both still work relatively well. The only game that I've noticed some troubles with is FFIX, it takes a few extra seconds to load new fields or movies.
EDIT: My brother once had a PS2 Gameshark which was a disc and some device that plugged into the memory card slot. I also had a friend who had a Gameshark Lite or something like that, that was a disc-only gameshark. Personally me and my brother went through two PS2s without using any gamshark product, apparently the lasers in the PS2s were both defective. Bastard Sony.

Haha, yeah grey box is the PS1 console. And idk why I bothered to post this on qhimm, I must have been very bored and/or slightly inebriated.
I actually ditched this playthrough and started playing through Revisited in hopes that it would revive my interest in completing the mod. I've been keeping notes on what changes need to be made, but I have to say it is pretty fun. Apparently I missed quite a few things in initial data though because my characters are leveling up far too quickly. With any luck, I will begin work on Revisited once I make it to the point where I stopped making changes ~Icicle Inn I think.
I'm going to have to check out the latest versions of WM and as some battles aren't working as intended and Aeris' weapons are not working even remotely close to the way they were designed.

But there are no tangible products. If you are willing to test, you might be able to see what PSP mods could handle. It would involve a bit of work. Up to it?
