Ah.. Sounds nice. o0

I have the problem, that i can't create new spells. :/ I created the "Holy" spell, and put it into the "Ultima" materia. I changed the text (it is shown in the materiatab), but i can't use it in the spellmenu. :/ The spell isn't shown in battle..

OK, let me address each of your issues in turn:

1) File not found:
What it's doing when it's compressing the kernel.bin. It needs to find these files. GZip.exe must be in the same directory as WallMarket. Then, all the Kernel files must be in the same directory as the kernel you're trying to write to. After that, it looks for the gz files that gzip should have made. That's all the file access that WM does. If you can "save for later" then it's a problem with it locating gzip. Can you post a picture of the directory where you're storing WM and the kernel?

2) No new attack:
How did you change the name? WM 0.9.X can't do that. How did you add the spell? That may be an issue with the magic list in kernel section 3 (battle and growth data) also which WM 0.9.X can't do.

1. I have no problems with Windows XP, but i have problems with Windows Server 2008. Sure, let me upload a picture. =) It is in german, since i am german.

WM Data contains the files (kernel etc). I tried it in the same folder too, i also tried batchfiles for GZip.. The problem must be missing DLLs..

2. I looked into the WM list (found the spellnumber and put it into the materia), and then i changed it in the Kernel2.bin with "Teioh Version 21". =)

Then i had the spell "Holy" in the materia "Ultima".. But sadly not in the battlemenu "spell". :(

Thanks for helping me, btw!
 
Did i fixed what?

I have a materia with Holy too, but i can't select the spell in a battle. :/ But the "Gewaltenteiler" has the skin of the Masamune now! Thanks to Leighos Kudistos Megistos!

Btw, here is a screenshot of my materia..

Maybe i could increase the size of the spellmenu using Cosmo or Teioh..
 
no, go into wall market and add a one to all ap lvls then get 100 ap.

And then? I still can't select a (completely) NEW spell in the spellmenu.. That's the problem i mean. :/

I didn't change an existing spell, i created a new spell..

I HIGHLY doubt you would even be able to open WM if you were missing DLLs. The libraries are opened before the program is run. On top of that, nothing significantly different happens between when you open the files to begin with and when you compress them. If you can open a kernel then the problem is with opening the kernel.binx or the kernel.binx.gz files. About the picture: Where are all the little kernel files? KERNEL.BIN0, KERNEL.BIN1, etc. Those should be in the same directory as the KERNEL.BIN file you're editing. What's likely causing this is gzip isn't compressing them correctly or the gz files are getting deleted immediately after they are inserted (which shouldn't be happening).

And then? I still can't select a (completely) NEW spell in the spellmenu.. That's the problem i mean. :/

This is another limitation of WM. It cannot create new spells like that. You'd also need to change the battle and growth data section of the kernel.bin (see the wiki for more information about that) to accept that as a spell. Did you pick the empty spell after Ultima?
 
They are in the Data folder, and the problem is ONLY in Windows Server 2008. It won't happen under the same circumstances (folderorder etc.) in Win XP. So i am missing some dlls for sure, but i don't know which. :/

No, i picked the spell after Vincent's Limits.. I guess it was number 123 or 124 in WM.

The smaller kernel files HAVE to be in the same directory (in no sub directory) as the kernel.bin file you're trying to edit. And I don't think you're listening about the dlls.

The attack after Vincent's Limit transformations is Blade Beam's shockwave. You can add it to materia, but it will not show up in the magic menu. Only the first 56 attacks have the ability to show up in that menu and even then you'd have to change the KERNEL.BIN2 file for that to happen (not to be confused with kernel2.bin). Even THEN I can't guarantee that attacks 55 and 56 would show up. Trying to add new attacks to a menu is very difficult. You're better off just changing one of the existing attacks.

They are in the kernel.bin folder. The kernel.bin in the "main"folder is just a back up. =)

Here is another screenshot (only a small picture with some of the files. All of them are inside though): http://666kb.com/i/b4daauf3yo6w9x9lv.jpg

Yeah, thought so.. So i have to modify existing spells. :/ Sad.. Maybe i can put the effects "Frog/Small" together, and some other spells also.. I could modify the other spells to my desired spells then (Holy, Terror, Enchantment etc.). Thanks though..

With which program did you create WM? I have to find out which files i could need. Maybe there are the redistributable files available..
 
Why don't you change Angel Whisper to Holy?  You get it late in the game and its pretty much the same as Life2 anyway.  If you want, you can alter Life2 to be more like Angel Whisper and you won't feel the loss.  Just a suggestion.

By the way, I've been wondering something.  If I were to edit Comet2 so that it "performs attack [] after completion" and set the effect modifier to the ID for Comet, would the character end up casting and re-casting Comet until his MP ran out?  Just a thought.  I might put something like that in a mega-cheapskate materia if I feel like it.
 
I don't like the idea. :/ I like Angel Whisper. ^^ I don't use Life 2, since i use (cast) Final Attack + Phoenix most of the time.

I think i keep the enemy mechanics and change Life and Life 2 instead. :P But.. They have the names "Wiederbeleben" (revive) and "Auferstehung" (resurrection).. So i could think about modifying revive.. :P

Not sure at the moment, but maybe someone creates a tool to create new spells and to enhance the battlemenu. =)
 
Just downloaded the newest version. Being able to read kernel2.bin has really made the GUI better.

I was wondering what this means:

{BOX:RED}Fail to Union.
Click to expand...
I can't remember ever seeing this in battle, yet it appears half way down the "battle text" section and seems to have something to do with limit breaks. Does anyone know when this appears, or can we assume that the makers of the game meant to have something in there that was later taken out?

apart from the PSX mode crashing the game? unless you got a different tester to me. in which case nevermind :P

So now wall market can do the same things as the teioh in the programming feedback section?

Almost. ArmorVil said he was able to integrate it if the size wasn't too big. Now when you're in PSX mode there's a warning that will inform you if the size will be too big for the PSX.

Uh-huh. I'm still working on getting special characters inserted into the text, but that's the biggest difference. Teioh uses Qhimm's method of compressing the text for the kernel2.bin. According to Ficedula. that's compression level 4. Compression level 5 is the original way that the game was originally compressed in, which is what WallMarket uses. If you'll notice in that thread that some people were complaining that the file got too large for the game to process (over 16384 bytes). WallMarket is actually able to make the kernel2.bin file SMALLER than the original while still being fully workable.
 
OK :P

The data for limit breaks is not in the kernel; it is in ff7.exe starting at 0x51E0D4 for the PC version and somewhere in MENU\LIMTMENU.MNU for the PSX.

Question:
Why cant i edit most limits? Most of them are clompletely blanked out :/
Click to expand...
Straight from the readme:

NOTE: There are 128 attacks with data in the KERNEL.BIN, but there are 256 entries in the text of KERNEL.BIN for Limit Breaks. The texts have been added to the list, but no attack data will be available for them
Click to expand...
There IS some data for limits in the kernel, but only the secondary ones. This includes Cait Sith's Slots, Tifa's actual attacks, and Vincent's transformations' attacks. I don't know which set either PC or PSX uses for limit attack data. Regardless, there they are. If you edit them and fun stuff happens, so much the better I suppose.
 
I haven't heard from my testers that anything is going wrong that I haven't already fixed. In case something IS wrong, let me know.

Wall Market sure doesn't make my PSX version crash. But I'm using the US NTSC version, so this may be the reason.
