i was wondering..wishful thinking if is there anyway in the future version of BC we can have the option to control sephiroth during in battles?

sorry there is nothing that can be done within the save. the reason you can not control sephiroth is because the games kernel provides him with the AI that he uses for battle. there might be a mod to remove this but im not sure.

Use Otyugh. It gives this option.

DLPB: where can I download it sir? You mean I can control seph using my save game data altered by BC?

criminal mind · « **Reply #980 on:** 2013-08-01 22:54:00 »

DLPB : sir I saw your program

nice! so what I gotta do is load my save data and just choose the option that will make me control sephiroth in battles? Will this make him vulnerable to damages from monsters ?i hope not haha thanks sir DLPB! this forum is filled with highly intellectual people man Im so fortunate !

hello i´ve noticed that when i make a new game+, after getting Yuffie in the group she is not the lvl she was before (99) but much lower (42) and the stats are not the same anymore. is this normal or a bug? do i need to manually edit her with black chocobo for getting her back to the way she was in the previous "normal game"? or does this jump back to normal suddenly at some point in the game?

edit: everyone else (red aeris tifa barret and ofc cloud) are the same lvls they where before, right away after i got them. strange

Yes you do need to edit her back . the level for yuffie and vincent and cait are calculated

ok thx sithlord48, ill do that. and by "calculated" you mean the game adjusts the lvl for yuffie vincent and cait (not cid?) by itself (after some formula on what lvl cloud is i suppose?)

thx again.

sithlord48 · « **Reply #986 on:** 2013-08-02 17:24:52 »

cait is calculated because untill he joins the game his character slot is occupied by young cloud(this also applies to vincent but with sephiroth's stats). i don't know why yuffie's level is calculated but i would guess its because she is an optional character. I find it very odd that they didn't use yuffie's slot to hold young cloud since she is optional and cait is not. Cid however sits in his own character slot and is not optional so his level is not calculated. From what i have read the calculation is based on avg level of your characters not just cloud. from what i have seen the max for yuffie is level 42 (this might also be true for vincent but i have not tested the theory)

DLPB_ · « **Reply #987 on:** 2013-08-02 17:29:42 »

Her level will be calculated because she has to become stronger based on the party's level. You can acquire her at different points in your game, and if it wasn't calculated she'd be too easy to defeat.

krabat · « **Reply #988 on:** 2013-08-02 17:46:40 »

ok thx, i´ve just come accross red´s stats and they seem to have changed as well (only slightly - 4 points on magic). i quess it will be so with all characters then ~~except the ones you get from the start.~~ (nothing changed on cloud barret and tifa). i thinkt all that is due to the levels beeing recalculated and the stats boost for each lvl is 0-3 (random depending on the "curve"). so yeah the stats boost for each lvl where also calculated newly which is surprising.

sorry for the questions but i just wanted to know if i did something wrong.

sithlord48 · « **Reply #989 on:** 2013-08-04 18:42:45 »

good news everyone! covarr has worked with me (basicly by testing many things w/ me). And now the Steam Version works correctly ! just open your save and edit then save the bug has been found and its been there ever since 1.9.7 and should also affect the 2012 version. so if you have 2012 (unconverted) or the steam version you might want to wait untill 1.9.8 is released before you do any editing (it should be soon)

Btw 1.9.8 is released see the first page for Links

it apears that i have alot of commits for BC.. i need to get a life of some kind

if anyone wants i can release a little gourse video so you can see the commits that went into 1.9.8 but only if someone wants to see it.

Gingercat · « **Reply #992 on:** 2013-08-09 11:36:47 »

Hmm. I downloaded BC to try and skip the quite tedious "Young Cloud flashback", but it seems that BC still only allows for stuff up to Sector 5, not beyond.

Ideas on why this would be the case?

Edit: This is the Steam 2012 version, upgraded nicely with the latest Bootleg and a few edits to Kernel.bin to mod the weapons a bit, usually just adding Materia slots that they don't normally have; all Materia has been put back into stock before using BC though.

Because that is how far i have figured out the progression settings.. the second half of this post explains mosty why this is the case

Ah, ok. Got it

RetroGameGuy · « **Reply #995 on:** 2013-08-12 14:05:28 »

You include those sample saves. Im on the Steam version and is it possible for me to use those sample saves myself? For editing my own saves I have figured that out and it works perfectly but how can I use the sample saves myself?

sithlord48 · « **Reply #996 on:** 2013-08-12 14:22:44 »

if you want to import a full 15 block save

that is what 'Create Cloud Save Folder' is for (under File) . Be sure to select the correct save folder and then just use the dialog what ever samples you want.

for a single save you can just use the 'Import to Slot' function to select the save you wish to import to one of your already exsisting files.

RetroGameGuy · « **Reply #997 on:** 2013-08-12 15:09:20 »

Thanks man! This save game editor is awesome!

sithlord48 · « **Reply #998 on:** 2013-08-15 00:44:19 »

There are a few bugs in 1.9.8

some field item toggles were not working correctly (fixed)
Can not export raw psx files / Crash if try to export raw PSX with out loading a file.(fixed)
hexEditor not always being refreshed when non ff7save loaded (fixed)
Metadata.xml is always created if save is of PC type (fixed)

There will be a updated release for 1.9.8. (version number 1.9.81 will show in help).

hey thanks you guys, y'all really helped and ive managed to edit the players characters back to where i was before i lost it, sadly i had to start again but it was fun anyway so no biggy.

my question now is does anyone know of a program that enables you to edit the NPC enemies in the game, i would absolutely love that. i need to make them harder to beat
