Hello everyone !

I am a newbie with ProudClod but I would like to change some battle texts. I can find the right ennemy, then its "main" AI and there I see in the displayed lines the one that I want to change, for example the warning from Cloud to Barret in the 1st boss battle.

I can click on the line and edit it but how can I save my change ?
When I click somewhere else the string disappears, if I click Escape the change is cancelled, and if I click Enter the string disappears and the line above is changed in a way that I don't understand...  :o

Could you please help me ? Does a "how to use" manual exist ?
 
I am embarrassed to say I never got strings to cooperate with the rest of the AI editing in a consistent way. Try just clicking on the box with the text in it and start typing. You can't enter line breaks (pressing Enter) so you'll just have to create a new 93 code for additional lines. This is the biggest limitation of PrC and WM and I'm sure there's a better way to do it, but I haven't figured it out.
 
Thank you NFITC1, and please excuse me: my problem was because I was using an old version of ProudClod. With the last one I have no bugs anymore when I change texts in AIs...
Now I can complete my parody ;D
 
There is one mistake in Proud Clod. In the scene 109 in Soldier:3rd Tab, Proud Clod shows in Elements and Effects:
Manipulation - Double Damage
Fire - Double Damage
But application supposed to show:
Confusion - Double Damage
Fire - Double Damage.
In the scene 150 in Palmer Tab, application shows in Elements and Effects:
Gravity - Nullify
Reflect - Double Damage
But it supposed to show:
Gravity - Nullify
Sleep - Double Damage.
Maybe something wrong with status effects in Element's comboboxes.
 
Yes. I believe all the statuses are incorrectly indexed in the damage modifiers.
 
Do you happen to have a list of the correct indexes? Just so I can add it to my notes.
 
Not on hand. I think they're off by one or two in either direction. Sorry I can't be more specific than that without digging more into it than I have time for right now.
 
In the wiki.qhimm: http://wiki.qhimm.com/view/FF7/Battle/Battle_scenes#Enemy_data_format
it says: Element types (8 records):
00h - Fire, 01h - Ice, 02h - Bolt, 03h - Earth, 04h - Bio, 05h - Gravity, 06h - Water,
07h - Wind, 08h - Holy, 09h - Health, 0Ah - Cut, 0Bh - Hit, 0Ch - Punch,
0Dh - Shoot,
0Eh - Scream
0Fh - HIDDEN
10h-1Fh - No Effect
20h-3Fh - Statuses (Damage done by actions that inflict these statuses will be modified)
FFh - No element.
It seems that in the application you wrote statuses: 0x10 - Death, 0x11 - Near-Death, 0x12 - Sleep, 0x13 - Poison, 0x14 - Sadness, 0x15 - Fury,
0x16 - Confusion, 0x17 - Silence, . . . , 0x1F - Regen, 0x20 - Barrier, . . .
But statuses had to be written like this: 0x20 - Death, 0x21 - Near-Death, 0x22 - Sleep, 0x23 - Poison, 0x24 - Sadness, 0x25 - Fury,
0x26 - Confusion, 0x27 - Silence, . . . , 0x2F - Regen, 0x30 - Barrier, . . .
So, they are off to the forward by 16 positions. When we see Manip status in application, then by the 16 positions in the backward direction is located Confusion status. Because instead of Manip status, right status will be Confusion, as wiki.qhimm says. Or in other words, when supposed to be Confusion status, we see in application Manip status, which is located in the forward direction by 16 positions.

:P Yeah, you're probably right. The wiki is more often correct since it's easier to keep up-to-date.
 
Proud Clod still doesn't work on my computer even after i install the required programs.

It gives an error message :

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I posted this problem in the Gameplay Mod forum.
 
Hey,
I'm new to making my own mod in gerenal, but I love the work you and others have done so far!
My question is: Is it possible to apply a change to all enemies at the same time? For example, if I wanted to add 10 levels to all enemies? Or make everything immune to sleep? etc. Instead of manually changing each by hand?
Thanks!
 
few issues ive found:

*cant change drop rate of items
*when modding monsters stats some battle formations get bugged out happens to random battles
-for example i modded icicles on cliffs in disc 2 and now battle seems to spawn random monsters

Hello NFITC1 ! :)

Is there an easy way to "merge" 2 different scene.bin files that have been modified independently (without obviously conflicting each other, I mean that the first have its "ennemies stats" modified, and the second have its "ennemies names/scripts" modified) ?

Thanks by advance and anyway many thanks for the software itself :)

There's a menu selection under "File" called "Create Changes Patch". Let's say you have to modified scene files sceneA.bin and sceneB.bin and you want to merge them into sceneC.bin.
-Open sceneA.bin and select "Create Changes Patch"
-Select "No" to the dialog box that comes up
-Select an UNMODIFIED scene.bin file and it should create a sceneA.PrC file (or named something similar, might be a .patch file. I don't remember)
-Do the same thing with sceneB.bin to create a sceneB.PrC file
-Copy your unmodified scene.bin file as sceneC.bin
-Open the sceneC.bin and "Apply Changes Patch" in whichever order. The second one applied will overwrite any changes made by the first patch so prioritize them accordingly.
-Save the sceneC.bin file and utilize it as you see fit.

That's the intended procedure. I'm not sure if it 100% works, tbh. It was an idea I had a while back that is at least partially implemented. You should audit the results to make sure it does what you intend it to be because I'm not certain it works 100%.
 
Hello. I have one question. Can you add to Proud Clod, option to open "Any file" in the files type, when the program offers to open the file? In the Wallmarket we have two options: 1) Open Kernel.bin file; 2) Open Any file; But in the Proud Clod we have only one option: open Scene.bin file. How about to add option to open "Any file" in the Proud Clod, like it was done in the Wallmarket?

I know it's a bit late, but I just want to thank you again NFITC1; your advice was useful for merging different files as I wanted and as far as I have checked I have seen no bug in the game. Ha and the same thing has been successfully applied to the kernel files with the software WallMarket !

I've encountered this error on Windows 10, but don't remember it happening in Win 7. It's weird. I'll have to look at it when I get time. I'm not sure there's a work-around.
 
Hi, I've been trying to use this editor but anytime I change anything (at least all I've tried to change), and then switch to another enemy "set", the editor gives the error "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700B)".

After that, and I go back to the edited enemy "set" or try to save the scene.bin, the program crashes with the error "System.ArgumentNullExpection: Buffer cannot be null."

I am on Windows 10 too if that has anything to do with it.
Also, the Wall Market editor worked fine for me, so I'm not missing powerpacks or anything.

it might be that the zlib1.dll isn't in the directory with the PrC executable.
