The download link is a very...interesting image lol. Is that an error or are we still waiting on the upload?
I'll be working on it tonight. It doesn't take long to do gameplay updates

Almost forgot, the custom .exe will be 'officially' released tomorrow as well. It's basically just an optional thing for adjusted limit breaks, materia equip effects, etc.

Question of the hour: Are there any mods this is NOT compatible with? Namely graphical ones and such? I like muh pretties.

You're amazing, Sega Chief. I can't express to you how much I've loved this mod and the changes that have been made to it over the short time I've been around. Here's to another blitz through the world of New Threat. :-D

The mod is compatible with any graphical mods (battle, field, etc.) but be wary of using installers that overwrite the entire .lgp archive otherwise the assets that NT needs to function will be lost (if those installers only insert the files instead, or if it's through 7H/manually put together with a .lgp compiler, then it should be fine). Changing the field backgrounds should be okay as well.
As far as I know, it's not compatible with the Reunion's dialogue changes because there's quite a few field screens where the script has been shuffled about to make certain things possible like swapping party leaders, new events, etc. You'd also get things like some of the new spells being called 'Poison-Null' instead of, say, Hydro or Pearl for more confusion (NT replaces Poisona with Osmose on that Materia).
Cheers, bud; just hope people enjoy the new system. Let me know if there's any problems, though.

i've been trying to find a list of what exactly arrange does, but im not having much success.
should probably just play on normal anyway.

For the moment, Arrange does the following:
-) It boosts the level of each enemy; this means they'll inflict more damage and be more evasive against magic attacks.
-) Enemies give 1.3x the EXP.
-) It 'unlocks' a special attack or AI for certain enemies (on average, one per 'area' and roughly half the bosses have something new).
The plan is to complete Arrange for the 1.4 update, where I'll be working on the flevel.

Oh, I forgot to post the finalised list of innates:
-) Cloud: The copy thing took a tonne of space and was causing mass confusion due to it also copying the name of the character when listing the trigger (so it was tough to follow who had what). Instead, he now has a chance to get a Fortify stack that boosts his level when he takes magical damage/effects.
-) Barret: Same as before; defensive stacks when hit in the back row, strength stacks when he's in the front row with both overriding each other.
-) Tifa: Whenever the Sense command is used by any character, she gets a one-off boost to STR called a Focus stack. Originally, the idea was going to be spacing these out into multiple stacks and using something like the Defend command instead but I had trouble getting it to recognise when she used the command, rather than just anybody, which derailed it a bit.
-) Aeris: Slowly regenerates MP, 1 MP per 'tick'.
-) Red XIII: Slowly builds Strength and Magic over time (similar to the Behemoth enemy in NT), but loses these stacks if KO'd.
-) Yuffie: When hit by a physical attack, has a chance to raise physical evasion to 255%; this effect is lost if she is hit by any magical attack/effect.
-) Cait Sith: Rage system made it into the final build. Use the Morph command on Cait Sith when he is under one of these four statuses:
Poison: Absorbs Poison (poison ticks will heal him too), will use Bio2 on all opponents.
Fury: Gains Barrier, will start to use 2x-Cut on random targets
Silence: Attack & Magic set to 10, will start to use Mime command
Sadness: Gains MBarrier, will attack a random target and then Defend
-) Vincent: Will nullify Fire, Bolt, and Poison; also starts each battle with the Death Force status.
-) Cid: When in critical HP, and hit by a physical attack, Cid's Luck stat will double one time.
Edit:
Edit 2: Fought the encounter and checked the formation/AI but didn't see anything out of place. Are you playing on Arrange?

Edit:
Sounds odd; I think I changed the name of those graveyard enemies (I replaced the Sweeper there with a 'junked' version) but I can't recall if I did something to the formation or AI as well. I'll have a look.

oh. well, strawberries. it's a long time til we get added cut aint it.

The thing to remember is that Tifa doesn't have to use Sense; any of the party can use the command and she'll get the bonus (which is kind of the reason why my idea for using Defend as a way to build stacks kind of went out the window; but if I ever figure it out/the kernel magically expands to give more space then you never know).
Added Cut is unlocked by beating Barbariccia GT in the Extra Battle; so Disc 2 post-Mideel at the earliest, I think. Although it'll be tougher than story bosses at that point. I might move it back earlier so that hybrid STR/MAG builds can make earlier use of it.
But let me know if any other irregularities pop up. Only thing I can think of as far as that Guard Hound glitch goes is a dodgy install, mod conflict (somehow), or the Arrange AI though it's fairly basic and shouldn't cause the enemy to stop functioning altogether.

For reference, when is the first instance of SP? I'm just making my way to the 2nd reactor (in Arrange) and I realized I wouldn't know if an SP trigger didn't go off.
Also, Cloud can gain a stack of Fortify from spells such as Barrier and MBarrier. I think this is hilarious and fun.

yeah, i can't reproduce that hound glitch. had 2 more battles with em where it went fine.
playing on normal.
the only thing was, is that tifa was the first to act, and she instagibbed it with a crit. battle end.
i have no other mods installed. im too stupid to figure out bootleg or 7h. i really want some updated models and graphics too :/
are the text changes recent or was i just not paying attention the first time i played through
i like the touch ups. some lines just made no sense
aeris' starter weapon is useless. healing a whole 20 hp before barrier. and your allies dodge it to boot.
game over'd twice from a hell house. running away from these retarded ferning things from now on
it seems barret gains sp if you tell don cornholio that you like him lol. when i got popped down into the sewers after having said that, i could rank him up. without saying it i can't.
mostly pointless bug: if you give tifa 216+ str, and activate focus, her str goes down to 1 or something. she does like 7 dmg. (focus adds 40 for the entire battle)

You gain SP whenever a boss is defeated but there are some other places where it accrues; throughout Midgar and up until the Gold Saucer date, dialog options will give Barret, Tifa, Aeris, and Yuffie 1-2 extra points each time. I think in total it all adds up to 1 whole extra rank or so for one of them, assuming you focus on that character.
And yeah, I noticed that with Fortify too; I left it as is because, y'know.
Originally, Aeris' healing weapons were set to Cure formulas but she was healing up about 5-700 each time which was a bit much. If she has her STR built through Rank-Up I think it might start to catch up a bit, and could be handy when used with things like Slash-All.yeah, i can't reproduce that hound glitch. had 2 more battles with em where it went fine.

The Hell House? I suppose they could be dangerous when fighting them with two people.
How did you get Tifa to have 216+ strength that early in the game? Or is this from a more advanced save file? Either way, I'll add a fail-safe for the stat if it's rolling over, something that catches it if it goes over the threshold (though it shouldn't be possible to reach the threshold for Strength/Magic under the new system).
