Download seems to be broken, gets to 100% then stops without actually finishing citing the connection to the severs has been reset, any chance of a re-upload or a Mediafire/RapidShare/somewhere else upload?
 
Hi Tekkie,

I used a download manager to get it, not sure if MegaUpload has something wrong.

Anyway, I uploaded it on my web hosting in case of someone hase troubles with MU : Hyne v1.3

Great job myst6re ;)
 
Amazing work ! Thank you very much for this great contribution :D
 
i will have links for 1.3 for linux64 and mac os in a little while..
 
I've been toying around with Hyne tonight, and it really is magnificent. I have a couple suggestions, though :

- in the cards tab, you can check the boxes in front of the characters' cards (like Squall card, Laguna card, etc), but it doesn't give you one in-game. Is there any way to add a character card to one's inventory, without having to find the person holding it and win a card game from him/her ?

- also, if you want to get all cards or all items, it can be a pain to check all the boxes and type 100 next to each one. Would it be possible to add two buttons : one to get one of each item / card, and another to get 100 of each item / card ?

Aside from those two points, this utility is perfect IMO !  :D

After you check the box, you have to look right of the name, select 'Squall' from the drop down box and then it will be in your inventory!
 
And i also do have one more thing to say. I was checking out the source code, great work! Everything is flawless!

Yeah, I already thought of that, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, and sorry for the function/variables/comments in French ;D.
 
Been a while since french class. i do believe that translates to 'quite alright' yes?
 
Well thats close enough for me lol. Oh well, point being, job well done.
 
I was wondering if there was anyway to change the names of the other characters in the game (Quistis, Zell, Irvine, or anybody other then Squall and Rinoa for that matter) I feel as though if i could get my hands on the source code for FF8 it would be quite simple, The fact that you cannot change the names tells me its not a variable, its a constant and therefore, it should just be a matter of finding where the constant is ( 'cstr_char3' or 'cstr_zell' for example) which should be quite easy, as you should declare all constants in the beginning of your code. That leads me to believe it would be as simple as changing what that constant is set to, correct?

Now i have a running theory, if anyone can confirm or deny that would be great, but I am going to test it late on tonight. I am curious as to whether or not when you change the drop down box next to the character or GF card, if it changes who you win the card from..? For example, Edea has her own card, but she is near impossible to beat at times because she is a great card player, and also has all those rules. Now if you check the Edea card box, and you click the drop down box and select anything but Squall or Edea's House, lets say i choose, B-Garden Headmasters office. Then would somebody in the Cid's office then have procession of the card? Or would you still have to go win the card from Edea?
 
Oh my goodness, it's just a fantastic work Myst6ere !!

Les menus sont clairs et beaux. But the big thing, that I don't see any but at all for the moment !

What a pleasure to play with Seifer and with Squall in his Seed outfit ! ;)
