Thank you so much. I want to add that in my specific case, copying the files and overwriting them don't work for some awkward reason. Opening the Kernel.bin from Wallmarket before copying the file yields all the updated names, but once that same file is copied into the data folder, and before booting the game, it immediately displays the wrong names. I also tried creating kernel2 before updating them all together, still no luck.

I have problems with your kernel2 Sega. Lots of blackscreens... myst6re will look at it to see if he can repair it.

The only thing I can think of is maybe a security issue; as in, the file needs to be unblocked through Properties because it came from another computer. That or it's in the wrong place; which version are you playing, Silver? Steam, 1998, or 7th Heaven?

As far as repairs go, Myst6re might be able to identify the problem but NFITC1 made the tool itself. Are you opening the Kernel.bin with the tool, or the kernel2.bin? I usually just open the Kernel itself and it seems to open both files in the folder.

I personally like doing more than 9999 damage with hits, but I know you designed your mod without break damage limit in mind.  I was wondering, though, if break damage limit could be applied to some attacks but not others.  For example, if Red's, Yuffie's, and Vincent's level 4 limits could break damage limit, they would be closer to the power of other characters final limits.  Bahamut Zero could break damage limit making him much more powerful than the first Bahamut.  Not sure if that's possible, but maybe it could be useful.  Also, would it be possible to make the damage limit 10,000?  That would be so much more satisfying than 9999 without throwing off the game balance.

That's definitely an advantage of break 9999; you can push certain otherwise underpowered attacks right up and make them viable again. On the other hand, working within the confines of 9999 let's me keep a better handle on %-based damage reduction effects and shrinks the amount of variance I have to keep in mind when speccing attacks/enemy HP & stats.

I open the Kernel and save with "Create Kernel.bin and kernel2.bin". Some modifications works well but others causes black screen at the start of the game. I'll see with myst6re what he can do with this. For Neo-Midgar he did a special kernel2 without limits. Maybe he can do the same for your kernel2.

It's the steam version, I believe. I dropped the files in the folder lang-en. Like, all the moves work and are updated, it's just that the text isn't updated for some reason. I tried using a patch (.wm) using WallMarket, but that didn't work either.

An expanded kernel2 sounds interesting; I wonder if that means more AI can be put in, or if it's just for text.

If placing the files directly into the game hasn't worked either, then the only thing I can think of is that the file isn't trusted by the PC and needs to be unblocked through Properties, that or Steam is doing some weird half-assed file verification thing and restoring the default kernel2 but not the other files.

Can you tell me how to specifically do so?

On another note, I was going to just rename all of the stuff manually out of frustration, and found out that no matter which Kernel.bin (yours, the original, or copied) was thrown in the lang-en folder, it would update all the functions but never the names or descriptions of anything. Maybe it's a WallMarket bug? How are the descriptions linked to the folder location and not the file itself? I don't know computers.
 
The kernel and kernel2 need to be together in the same folder as far as I know. To unblock a file that isn't trusted, right-click on it (the kernel2.bin in this case) and select Properties. At the bottom of the small window that should appear, under Attributes, will be a button that says 'unblock'. If this isn't there, then it means the file is already unblocked.

For modding, the Kernel and kernel2.bin need to be in the same folder, as far as I know. Kernel2 is the text, kernel is the data (I think).
 
Nope, it's already unblocked.

*SIGH* I'm going to hate you for making such a great mod where I have to copy paste all of the description.
 
Is haste supposed to last the entire battle? I dont remember the behavior in vanilla. Lunatic high seems to produce a permanent status (barring KO)... very powerful.

;-; there must be another way

Yeah, Haste & Slow are permanent effects; all statuses behave as they did in the vanilla game.

So break damage  limit can't be applied selectively?  It's all or nothing?  Like, in FF8, certain attacks could break the limit, like Quistis's best limit break, but most attacks were capped at 9999.  Could All Creation break the limit, while demi remains capped at 9999?
 
It'd be all or nothing, but some attacks won't be capable of breaking it anyway because of the Level synch/enemy defences.

The kernel2 limit is still here, I use black magic to reduce its size. And for you question Sega Chief, there only texts in the kernel2, isn't it?
 
Is the Dark Cave coming in the next update? Or is it still TBA?

hey sega chief

can you add the super nova spell on your mod please
Click to expand...
I believe the Super Nova animation causes the game to soft lock when used by player characters.

Ah, it's just the kernel2 for texts that was expanded? Ah well.

Dark Cave is still in dev, and the supernova animation does softlock the game if used outside the Safer battle background (as far as I know).
 
hey

because i was waiting since april of this year of when your NT 1.4 Version of your Mod first came out

I'm re-doing it from the ground up, but I take breaks now and then to work out new ideas and make sure I'm going in the right direction.
