Nice, thanks.

With the PSX field files, does your application handle file resizing? Can files get larger than their originals? Does Makou handle any lookup changes for when files get shifted about? Also, does Makou do any CRC recalculation?

When the field is larger, he is placed at the end of the archive, or in a space if any. I update the FIELD.BIN of course when field positions or sizes change, and the iso file structure. Aaaand... no, Makou does not CRC recalculation

No matter; CDMage can handle CRC recalculation, and emulators can be forced to ignore CRC anyway.

Hi Myst6re, you program is amazing, but I have a little problem. I am editing the texts of tutorials, psx version (spanish), but when I click in Accept when I finish to translate the text, some words appears imcomple or cut, and others in white (no words) see the image.

[IMG=http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/1368/erroravj.png][/IMG]

EDIT: I have been seeing the command "Move with a numbers", it is neccesary to change
for increasing the window dialogue? Because I didn't change any number and besides
were the same space and characters.

I hope your answer, thanks.

The command "MOVE()" change the position of the window, the size is automatically calculated by the game. I don't know if I answered your question.

Ok, thanks for your answer ^^ I will wait.

EDIT: I have other doubt, in the field frcyo (Chocobo farm). I would like to translate the "variant texts", for example,
this text:
Choco Billy
“Then{, }give
   Chocobo
   {MEMORY:var[13][98];size=6}
   a name.”

The text of variant, where could be?

Sorry my ignorace, if I don't know about the topic.
Other doubt that I had, I posted since one week, it's about autosize, but
I think that it's impossible to autosize, see the post:
http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=13438.0
(the kernel.bin is solved).

In the scripts, in frcyo > meskun. For example:

Quote

Var[13][98] = 45 (8 bits)
Var[13][99] = 65 (8 bits)
Var[13][100] = 76 (8 bits)
Var[13][101] = 69 (8 bits)
Var[13][102] = 0 (8 bits)
Var[13][103] = 0 (8 bits)

Means "Male ". 45=M, 65=a...

My PC shuts down while I was saving changes in Makou Reactor. Flevel is broken and loses some .dec. If I reemplace the file "flevel" for an old one will work? other files can be affected?

Oh, one more thing, can you tell me when are you gonna launch a new version?

Thanks

myst6re · « **Reply #136 on:** 2012-09-02 15:38:56 »

You do not have any luck, the only moment when you can break your flevel is at the end of the saving, when I delete the old archive and I renamed my temporary archive. If you replace your flevel by a valid one, you lose all your changes.

Excellent work!

edit. This really is superb.

first bug though:

Tried to save map and it is broken. Instant crash when clicking on the save icon.

Lazy Bastard · « **Reply #139 on:** 2012-09-04 20:29:12 »

I'm particularly interested in these three:

Great work.

Great version i have a one question
this version update the field.bin?thanks

myst6re · « **Reply #141 on:** 2012-09-04 20:34:36 »

There are some incompatibilities between the jump system and the Goto/Label system. Make backups of your files before using makou reactor and do not panic when you see broken scripts.

Quote from: vayneruel on 2012-09-04 20:31:32

Yes, to update the field positions and sizes, otherwise it will not work.

Tenko Kuugen · « **Reply #142 on:** 2012-09-04 21:03:08 »

If you see a broken script, this is what you do:
Remember which the last field group is you see. If 1.5 shows up to group 6 but 1.4.1 shows up to group 13, there is a script problem in group 7 ( and maybe more later, but 100% one in group 7 )
check group 7 in 1.4.1
usually, the problem is "if...then, else jump to X"
OR
"Jump to byte X"
then X here is a byte that has to be exactly the number of an existing byte. if there is byte 234 and 236, the jump CAN NOT go to 233, 235 or 237

fixing this usually fixes the entire problem

edit:
myst6re can you reverse the order the songs are displayed?
Instead of 08 - bat
could it be
bat - 08

because that way it's easier to search for specific songs

spy__dragon · « **Reply #143 on:** 2012-09-07 09:02:27 »

I have seen a little error, but It is not very important. When you select the buttons (psx version), the cross is Triangle, and the Triangle is Cross. I enclose the image:

Now, the tutorials work perfectly in both version, PSX and PC.
Thanks you so much for your program

, it's very good.

EDIT:
Other bug in psx version,
in the map mds7pb_2 doesn't appear the texts,
but the other version yes (1.4.1), see the image.

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/824/makou2.png/

I have solutioned closing the program and open again, occurs when you save a
change of text, I have changed only the text of tutorial.

Edit 2:

In this version I have seen you can change the size of windows, but
I have seen some windows that can't change, or text which protudes in the
window text, see the image, and sorry my bad English, an image explains all.

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/228/makou3.png/

During the game, the dialog will see like this?

Regards.

I'll test this version in both version.

Tenko Kuugen · « **Reply #148 on:** 2012-09-15 01:39:39 »

I've poked around the walkmesh and location data and tried to make sense of how to place new locations.
I see how field models are placed ( inside a specific triangle, at a convergence point of X and Y ) but I can't make sense of actual locations, like the location space that enables the main menu at a save point
Set location (X1=-758, Y1=66, Z1=0, X2=-715, Y2=88, Z2=0)
thats the save point location group at the gold saucer, when you enter that, it enables the main menu and stuff. but how does that actually determine where that is? thats two points, right? do they connect and form a line? for a triangle, you need three points ( x1, x2, x3 ) right?
can someone shed some light on how this works?

vayneruel · « **Reply #149 on:** 2012-09-15 09:28:39 »

The coordinates of a location, a line passing through two triangles ID, when the character crosses that line activates the saved script.

triangle
ID1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------ID2
X1,Y1,Z1 X2,Y2,Z2
If what you want is to place field models should only put the coordinates X, Y, Z and triangle ID
This is in "Fields models and animations" place field model.
Take to report a bug, when I open a BIN psx, modify a field and reinserted with Makou, the game crashes to enter that field
Thanks for you attention-
