Thanks you two, I think I might have an idea for something. Just need to see if it works or not.
 
Hey Chief, Source Points (SP) have not been implemented yet, correct? Every time I ever hit 'Rank Up' at the super save crystals nothing happens... just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything currently. Thanks!
 
It's not in yet, no. I had to dummy out that command and removed the script where it sends you to the SP screen.
 
I managed to get the Rage prototype working; when hit by Morph under the Poison status, Cait Sith swapped to his auto-AI once his current turn had been picked and processed.

The way it'll work is that when hit by the Morph command (which has had it's target data updated to enable ally targeting), Cait will pick up an auto-buff or two, gain unlimited MP, and then start using several attacks based on the Rage. With the exception of his 'default' Rage, each one requires a status ailment to be present to activate, with a descending order of priority to handle multiple ailments. Here's the Poison one:

-) Poison Rage
Gains 'absorb Poison' flag; poison ticks will heal him instead of damage
75% chance: Uses Bio2 on all enemies
25% chance: Uses Bio3 on one enemy
Physical Attack against Random Target

I'm running dangerously low on script-space, but the other innates are done so it's all about getting as much in there as possible and streamlining the others where possible.

Edit: That's it up to the hilt on space. I added four Rages which should be quite interesting.

Thank you and good job. It's going to be interesting testing everything, especially to make sure Cloud mimics properly. If Yuffie can hit herself to trigger perfect dodge, it's gonna put a smile on my face for all of time.

I'd type them as you see them, line by line. One thing though, If strings are updated automatically so it's best to think of them as pointing at something. If the 70 #### points to the end of the script, then input the current number that points to the end of the script. Otherwise they'll be directing to the wrong places.

As for space, it seems that the kernel AI has it's own 'segment', though I'm not sure.

-) Cloud
I'm still working out how to do it properly. Ideally I want it to be someone in the current party but I'm having trouble getting their ID over to the appropriate script without it getting too large.

-) Tifa
I'm still working on getting something organised that reduces the target's defence but it's been tricky due to Subtraction not seeming to work correctly. Past the update though, there will be no changes in stats when leveling up; that's instead handled by the Rank-Up system where the player assigns stat growth instead (so there's no need to min-max levels, except maybe for HP/MP). Setting it to be triggered by an evaded attack would likely make it very difficult to gain consecutive stacks too. Long story short though, this one doesn't seem popular so it's not going to appear in the update. If I can't get the defence reduction to work, then I'll put some more ideas to people here.

-) Barret
Defensive stats were buffed recently, and are now twice as effective. +40 on Vit + Spr should make a tangible difference, but I wanted the front row one to be tempting enough to have players pull Barret to the front sometimes. Due to the change in the way stats are grown, I can now balance things up much more easily so hopefully I can avoid it getting too overpowered when combined with other +STR gear and a STR focused build.

-) Cait Sith
Let's do the opposite:

-) Vincent
I think it'll come in handy for situations where there's maybe a few too many things to defend completely against later on in the game, or for freeing up armour/accessory/slots that would otherwise go to elemental defence. As for the Limits, there's not much I can do; although I've been meaning to try out kernel spells on the Limit bar to see if he can use them. Could cast, say, Flare instead of handing control over to Galian Beast for example. I'm fairly sure it'd still require MP though :l

-) Cid
I've actually got Cid pegged as a luck-orientated guy because of that Lady Luck emblem he has on the Highwind. It's also a great stat for a front row fighter because of the crits + additional evasion it gives. It was a toss-up between Tifa and Cid for who was going to get the high luck stat, but in the end I figured Tifa would have Dex and Cid would be a lot slower (although I'll admit that the idea of a Dragoon-esque fighter with low Dex doesn't sit too well with me).

Dammit, I didn't even think of that. A warning message could maybe help with that, but it might be that I have to remove that particular option and replace it with something else instead. Not sure what, though; maybe an SP check to compliment Rank-Up?

How did you get that menu overhaul, which is seen in Tifa's various mods with the new threat 1.3 since Tifa's final heaven only support 1.2.  I would like to use that updated menu and perhaps character models with new threat, but without the behemoth that is tifa's bootlet or final heaven. 

Thanks,
 
@powerincarnate
Install Reunion by selecting only the menu overhaul options. Then, install New Threat. You should be good to go.
 
It says, menu overhaul not supported on the steam version of ffVII and was deselected
 
I'm going to have a go at making an .IRO for use with 7H when the 1.35 update is complete; hopefully, I'll be able to make a proper one this time now that I've got 7H itself working properly on my PC.

Unfortunately, actors can't trigger their own counter-attack scripts :p
 
Unfortunately not, I'd experiment with making a pre-action script for it but the space just isn't there.

Edit: New flevel hotfix patch is up; fixes an annoying issue on Floor 59 with the save point there.

I grow more excited by the day. The streams demand mod blood. THE HILLS RING WITH THE SOUND OF 'oh dangit I died again'! On that note, what are Cait's 4 rages, and what's left in the 'to change' log?
 
leave my mod's blood alone D:

Cait's rages are:

-) Poison
Gains absorb Poison flag (poison status will heal him instead of damage)
Uses Bio2 on all enemies

-) Fury
Gains Auto-Barrier
Uses 2x-Cut on random target

-) Silence
Attack & Magic drop to 10
Uses Mime command each turn

-) Sadness
Gains Auto-MBarrier
Uses physical attack, random target
Uses Defend command immediately after

Although when checking that, it seems that Cid's AI got corrupted in some way. Bit worrying. I deleted it and seems to be okay now, but I'll need to figure something out or pare down the script size maybe so it can fit.
 
\\Update//

So FF7 got a remake announced.

Fuck.

That being said, it's not hitting until 2017 or later and we've no idea what shape it'll take. Might be an updated version of the current engine, or it might be something brand new. Either way, I'm going to finish NT; I'll be damned if SE are going to make a better FF7 than me.

this was already a foregone conclusion. squeenix hasnt made a game worth a god damn in ,what, 14 fucking years now.

not to belittle your awesomeness by comparison, but i have next to no faith they won't royally fucking screw it up
 
@Sega Chief
There's no way they'd actually make FF7 fun to play, especially not compared to a mod that offers a foundation comparable to FF5's. It will be fun to watch, but to play? Hah. I'm ready to just hold one button again

Also, I like how Sony basically said they made Squeenix get off their butts to do this. About time (praise Hojo).

Yeah, there's a lot of uncertainty about this. Nomura is the director this time, so I'm expecting a clusterfuck in terms of story + scenario when he inevitably leans on people to shoehorn in whatever new obsession he picks up during development (Gackt, leather jackets, etc.) As for the actual gameplay itself, I can't see them making the same battle system again so it'll probably be an ARPG/modified version of FF15's engine but you never know; I've got this curiously optimistic feeling that it might be turn-based. Not sure why.

Anyhoo, I'm having second thoughts about Cloud copying the other character's innate; it gets tough to keep track of who has what. Any ideas for a replacement?
 
hey sega chief
