That might be the case. It seems to me that they are a bit off. At least there are the bugs you mention, and the cameras during Beatrix fights are shifted. There definitely is a problem with battle camera but I still don't know whether the PSX cameras are badly read or if they made other cameras and failed some of them.

Actually, there is a whole bunch of methods in the "SFX" class that are external, so not in the Assembly-CSharp.dll, and I don't know how to access to them. Surely that they are in the FF9SpecialEffect.dll plugin, but the dll's header doesn't list them.

My initial guess is that the psx cameras are badly read, seeing how some cameras trigger and some don’t. I wouldn’t imagine they made any other battle cameras.
 
Hey guys! It's me again, with a new problem!! ::)

You know WHY Blank is colored while everything blue? Because I really don't  :-\ Things like that happens also on Esto Gaza, some parts on the Temple of Hearth and all that "dark" places..

Hum, no idea. I thought that the light was dependant on the position of the character. Maybe that's because he's next to a light source?
It seems weird to me that models would need some special setting to have a correct light.

I was thinking of something about "texturing" or else... but unfortunately it does not seem to be :?
 
At the risk of sounding like a complete moron (I've tried pming you tri, but it wont let me), I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing with HW. I used it many years ago with the psx, but I purchased the steam version earlier this week with the excitement of using HW. Problem is, I can't get it to work... at all. I keep trying to open FF9_Launcher with it, and it just freezes and hangs there for ever. I let it sit there for roughly 40 minutes, and there was no progress in getting into the program's editing. Am I doing something wrong? I've googled how to use HW, searched through this topic endlessly with a few people asking how, and figuring it out themselves, yet I can't? I even tried youtube and looking at the HW's outdated Help. :[

I'm sorry to be a bother, but I'd really like to tweak my own version of FF9 to enjoy.
 
Guys take a look here


Pandemonium Event Code (the one where everyone talks to Zidane while he's "Asleep")

Code: [Select]
Code: 
   0xA9( 250 )        FadeFilter( 7, 16, VAR_GlobUInt8_17, 0, 0, 0 )        SetDialogProgression( 0 )        WindowAsync( 0, 16, 493 )        Wait( 12 )        while ( !GetDialogProgression ) {            Wait( 1 )        }        while ( !IsButton(655360L) ) {            Wait( 1 )        }        if ( VAR_GlobUInt8_17 == 255 ) {            set Op66(( GetData_12 - 160 ), ( GetData_13 - 112 ))        }        0xA9( 250 )        FadeFilter( 6, 24, VAR_GlobUInt8_17, 255, 255, 255 )        Wait( 25 )        CloseWindow( 0 )        WindowAsync( 0, 16, 494 )        RaiseWindows(  )        WaitWindow( 0 )        TerminateEntry( 2 )        RunScript( 2, 14, 13 )        if ( VAR_GlobUInt8_17 == 255 ) {            set Op66(( GetData_12 - 160 ), ( GetData_13 - 112 ))        }----------------------------------->HERE ENDS BLANK CODE AND STARTS THE AMARANT ONE        0xA9( 250 )        FadeFilter( 7, 16, VAR_GlobUInt8_17, 0, 0, 0 )        SetDialogProgression( 0 )        WindowAsync( 0, 16, 224 )        Wait( 12 )        while ( !GetDialogProgression ) {            Wait( 1 )        }        while ( !IsButton(655360L) ) {            Wait( 1 )        }        if ( VAR_GlobUInt8_17 == 255 ) {            set Op66(( GetData_12 - 160 ), ( GetData_13 - 112 ))        }        0xA9( 250 )        FadeFilter( 6, 24, VAR_GlobUInt8_17, 255, 255, 255 )        Wait( 25 )        CloseWindow( 0 )        WindowAsync( 0, 16, 225 )        RaiseWindows(  )        WaitWindow( 0 )        TerminateEntry( 14 )        RunScript( 2, 9, 14 )        if ( VAR_GlobUInt8_17 == 255 ) {            set Op66(( GetData_12 - 160 ), ( GetData_13 - 112 ))        }

The problem is the follow:everything is ok, but when arrives the part between the End of Blank and Start Of Amarant, the button won't react and the window dialog of Zidane stay here. You may know where did I wrong?

Which window dialog? 493, 494 or 224?

The 493 and 224 dialogs are supposed to be handled by the script: the player has no natural control on closing the windows (or displaying the text faster) but with the lines "while ( !IsButton(655360L) ) { Wait( 1 ) }", the script waits for the player to press a button ("Confirm" or "Moogle") and closes the windows after a fading.
These dialogs are assumed to have either the opcode [NFOC] (= "No Focus") or [TIME=-1] (which has the same effect but can also determine a timeout for closing the window if the argument is non-negative).

The dialog 494 is not closed by the script and is assumed to have none of the opcodes [NFOC] or [TIME=...].
 
It's exactly the 494!

 I see there was a [TIME=1] in the dialog, so I removed it.. but it seem to not work yet.. everything else I need to do? I skipped a part?

UPDATE:

Ok, there's also a [NOFC] my bad  :P I try to remove it and I'll let you know!  ;D

UPDATE 2:

I did it! Thanks a bunch Tirlititi!

Tirlititi.. how I solve this?  :-[ (The battle camera, and the "debug" thing )

You can't control the battle camera... but that battle should allow 3+1 characters with a good camera: I don't remember messing with the camera when I added Beatrix to this battle and it works fine.

About the name, it may have been reseted by the script for some reason... Add a "SetName" line in the Pandemonium script before the fight and choose to rename Blank with the appropriate name.

No?

Well, did you add two Abadons to the battle? Compling FFIX: ZA on the grounds of Alternate Fantasy, I see there where two Abadon's to fight, both under Auto-Protect.
I mention because your second Abadon never done any ATB commands. It had no functions, other than slowing down the Fast-Forward booster, making it boost at like 2x speed instead 5x. And with it on, the battle would rush instantly and gltich a bit if the Abadon in the back row (Abadon #2) was KO'd.
No crashes, nothing, just glitches. And an unresponsive to the fight: Abadon #2.
 
I messed with the battle, but not with the camera.
I have seen several people doing that fight without bug, so I guess it's your version that glitches. The second Abadon uses the same functions as the first (even if it has a different attack pattern).

Building off the mod.hws of Alternate and never touching this enemy, could be the reason it stopped working? I used AlternateFantasy_v.4.3.hws from the download, and since then still haven't touched that enemy.

Never mind it, T, I fixed it now.

I'll check ; I have no idea of what is the glitch that you describe. The only slowdowns I've ever experienced were because of bad 3D models (or badly configurated).

Well, in any case, I did built the mod after saving/loading the .hws several times so it seems doubtful that the file itself is corrupted.

EDIT: Ah well, I nevermind then ^^'
 
Ok, the "debug" thing is solved...  but the problem of the Battle camera is still here.. The code is the follow ( It's token from AF)

The camera still be kinda weird

please help.. :'(
 
Nevermind... I apologize for my previous post. After re-downloading HW, downloading previous versions, restarting and shutting my PC down and waiting two hours at most for HW to work, it finally worked after I reinstalled FF9. I'm not sure why that was the case, but... Sorry for the bother! :D
 
@fmalust: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see your message... Good that you could fix the problem.
It's not the first time that I miss a message ; it happens too frequently these days...

@ToraCarol: I have double-checked and I didn't change any camera setting for this battle in AF. You are doing something making it weird.
Verify that the camera used is the camera 0 in the group data (below the list of attacks of Abadon).
If the camera is indeed 0, a camera bug could occur because of AI script: did you change a function of the AI script? If so, what are those changes?
 
The Camera it's ok, the AI script what do you mean exactly? You mean the Fields Script?

The only things I did is to add Blank in the Field (with a new entry) and in the Party, those are the codes

Plus the Windows of dialog of Blank and the Script calling to Run Animations etc

Tell me if you need everything else, I'll be happy to collaborate as I can  :wink:
 
The AI script is the script in the "Enemies" panel. Select the battle against Abadon and there's an "Edit Script" button. That's the AI (and it presents like the Field scripts indeed, but that's a different script).
