[PSX/PC] Battle editor - Proud Clod (1.5.0/FINAL)

[nfitc1]

Hmmm... Is it possible to insert strings in the AI (93 opcode). After I've typed in something and hit enter the stuff I typed just disappears. I find it possible to edit already existing strings though, but impossible to create my own (with PC). Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Strange things happen when you hit enter. For now, just hit "Tab" when you're done and the string will stay.

Thanks for reply, but Tab didn't work either. Nothing works (I think ). However, I managed to Insert strings using v1.3.1.

D'OH! That's the version I have too. I guess that's why it worked. I'll get around to fixing it eventually.....

np! Don't rush it; you're doing a great job. As far as I know the string thingy is the only bug. And PC seems to catch an exception every time I save after altering an attack. Despite of that it saves correctly.

Deleted because the board software is cutting my post in half, even though it's within limits. Appropriately enough, the post is about how 1.3.3. has trouble copying the

93 {EA0000h}...
60 24
60 0

portions, rendering them as follows:

 

[Bosola]

93   {EA0000h}

 

[Bosola]

Oh, for Christ's sake. It won't even let me post the bloody code.

93   {EA0000h}

 

[secondadvent]

1.3.3 seems to be having some issues with the message data right now, which is already being looked into. for now though, he said to use 1.3.2 for any string based changes that need to be done until the next version arrives.

 

[Bosola]

This board software and I do not get along.

Here's the code in PNG form.

I don't have the FF7 character table, but if someone did, comparing those weird values to the values of characters in the string might tell us something?

Also, in case someone wants to be helpful, why do computers hate me today? Did I do something wrong? Did I offend them somehow? First my router, then my kernel, then Proud Clod, now even posting I can't do without obstacles popping up. Is this some sort of conspiracy? Why do such bad things happen to good* people?


*Well, at least not wholly bad.

 

[nfitc1]

Oh for crying out loud! I thought I had fixed that. I know what the problem is. That'll be fixed soon. (read: eventually).

 

[Bosola]

No worries.

I'm afraid I don't know VB well enough to offer any help beyond quoting Proud Clod's output to the clipboard...

 

[nfitc1]

Still, at least it's only happening with raw value entry like that. Very odd. Does this only happen during pasting or does it happen when you type it too?

 

[Bosola]

Pasting only, oddly enough.

 

[Bosola]

Right, now the Guard Scorpion keeps freezing on its first move. I can't work with this copy-paste as it stands. I'm basically going to rewrite the AI by hand instead.

 

[nfitc1]

Don't double post. Modify exists for a reason.

Guard Scorpion is the only one that has those raw values in its AI. Just don't modify that one and it should be fine.

 

[Auraplatonic]

One question...I was trying to edit the enemy AI of Guard Scorpion to change to so he would not say "Attack while its tail is up!".  I was having a problem with the program accepting the change, basically I can enter in new text but the text clears out when I try to confirm that change or leave the box.  Any suggestions?


EDIT: in  reading these past few posts I have realized they are probably talking about the same problem, so I will wait patiently for a fix

 

[Bosola]

Yup. Use the older version for string changes.

 

[titeguy3]

Speaking of which, I deleted my older version, can anybody provide a download link to a version with working string editing?

 

[nfitc1]

It should still be there on my mediafire/filefront pages. Just use the link at the first post and look at other files by me (or something like that). 1.3.2 is still there.

1.4 is on its way and is looking good. I haven't addressed the string issue yet, but already I've decreased loading time (slightly, but enough to no longer annoy me ).

 

[Bosola]

Can't say it ever really bothered me.

Out of interest, why do you tend to use VB specifically for these sorts of projects? Does it offer anything in particular for this sort of work? Or are you wanting to practice VB / .NET stuff for study / work?
