Was that it? I don't remember that at all but thank you sir. I shall give it a go... if only I hadn't gone past the farm already... Alas.
Yeah, it just says "greens" What I posted was a copy and paste.
Yeah, I saw the FMV, everything played out like she was supposed to die. Then I went outside and saved. Then I updated NT from the August 1st patch to the August 2nd. Then when I went back in I saw that I could still add Aerith to my party. I don't know if I could before or after I installed the patch, but I'm saved on the world map right outside of the Ancient City right after she died and she's still a playable character.
Okay doke.
In the fight:
Nah, it'll be a script line that's doing it. I think it'll correct itself at a certain point so don't worry about going back to an older save; if she's showing up in scenes though, then let me know.
So I'll put my response in Spoilers
Yeah, she shows up in the cutscene outside of Holzoff's where everyone gathers after the snowboard part, I can talk to her and she has dialogue, and I can still add her to my party. I replayed from an earlier save before she dies and still have the same issue where Aerith dies, there's the funeral cutscene, and right afterwards I can add her to my party and she still appears in the cutscene outside of Holzoff's.
There is one spot where it says there is a level cap of 70. The place where you can fight in the Junon Leagues, with the ghosts who didn't pass on. One of those ghosts says there's a level cap. That's probably what Webbhead08 was talking about.
Mythril Miner's are fun and easy to dispatch enemies. That they morph into Tents alongside giving 2000 gil for each one defeated just adds to the fun. ;D
I just tested this, and I can confirm that the Gil Plus materia is giving characters extra strength. It did not give "44" extra points of strength for the character I tried it on, but if it's improving strength by 25% or 30% (the character I tested it on would seem to imply it's using a 30% bonus), it would explain things there with that.
I didn't encounter the crash issue while Barret being there. But I had some overlapping text between Barret's boxes and save point box. Might be a good idea to move it somewhere else.
I'm still looking for the line that adds her; I'll add handlers around those areas to check the var and correct it as well as a failsafe.
No, you can dig up the Sector Gate Key from Bone Village and access Midgar that way: https://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/130791-final-fantasy-vii/faqs/57001?raw=1
Barret has lines that pop up there, which are likely interfering with the window handling the save point. I'll need to either move it or hide it until the player has rested at the Inn; that or I can use a different window ID, I think there's four I can use which would work out (and have Barret's scripts freeze while the save point plays).
He probably doesn't have a Berserk attack set or something; I'll add one.
Sounds like a debug routine; I'll remove it from the Highwind save point (I think that's where it was).
This is assuming each stat is weighted equally, which I don't feel they are; the Ranks that cover stats with lower weight or which would result in a heavily skewed character give more overall to compensate as opposed to the more normal ones that give gains to a character's naturally strongest stats.
I can make a Plus Materia for any stat, but I'm not planning to make a Vit/Spr/Str Plus Materia.I just tested this, and I can confirm that the Gil Plus materia is giving characters extra strength. It did not give "44" extra points of strength for the character I tried it on, but if it's improving strength by 25% or 30% (the character I tested it on would seem to imply it's using a 30% bonus), it would explain things there with that.
That said, a Strength Plus materia is something to consider, and could potentially be used to replace things like the "Long Range" materia. That said, if it is used, it should be earned, and only claimable late game. A vitality or spirit plus materia would be so sweet at well, though sadly I doubt we will see those due to coding issues.
That's an issue with the game rather than the mod, the cause isn't known but it seems to be more likely to occur on certain fields than others. The only way to correct it is to leave the field and then return.
I'll make adjustments to Barbariccia GT and check out the Crater scripts; maybe the var check is backwards there or something.
