I can't use Black Chocobo, and it would save my life ;__;

The reason is simple : my game is heavily modded, so when I try to load my save into Black Chocobo, the program just crashes (with all versions).

It's annoying, because I desperately need to use it. You see, Red XIII just joined me, but I realized that his starting materia / equipment is wrong. So I corrected this inside the Kernel, but since this is part of the game's initial data, it doesn't change what Red XIII comes equipped with, inside the save file (and the boss battle heavily relies on Red XIII...).

So I have two options : either play through the game from the beginning again, or wait until Black Chocobo can load heavily modded save files... ...That is, if you plan on making modded save files compatible with Black Chocobo of course, SithLord ;) (something that I would immensely appreciate).

If you want to experience this crash yourself, here is the link to my save file:

http://membres.multimania.fr/ouaibmasteure/

(it's save.rar)

It's the one in the first slot. Making your program compatible with
mods (if that's even possible) would ease the life of many modders, myself included  ;D

Making BC mod-compatible isn't really an option. There's a near-infinite number of ways mods can rearrange items, materia, spells etc. It's probably more feasible to compare the objects in an original kernel and your own, and on that basis determine which settings in BC will yield what you're wanting.
 
@armorvil, thats quite an issue there, i would at very least like to see where my program is crashing (im guessing  its an overflow on one of the arrays or structs from the rearangement of the savemap). but sadly that server won't send me the file (feel free to email it to me @ gmail.com). basicly bosola is correct in that there are a lot of ways the map can be created. in your case i might be able to force B.choco to fix your issue by changing some of the "check to see if this is a save" code but im not sure unless i can get the file.
 
Ah, well. I found a workaround. I can use Kranmer's teleport trainer to teleport to a shop, edit said shop so it sells the materia I'm missing, and finally : open the menu after naming Red XIII with Kranmer's trainer, and equip the materia. And there also was the solution of editing the field script of an area so the game hands me the materia.

Still, I'm sending you the file by email, Sithlord, if you want to see what's going on ^^

EDIT : I called you Kranmer, Sithlord...  :-[ Can you believe that ?!

Email sent :)

By the way, of course, I don't expect my name changes to appear into the editor... ...I know that, for example, I'll have to choose a Speed Drink if I want to add a Cure Stone. What I would love though, is for the program not to crash when I load my save file ^^

I'm using Black Chocobo v1.5, on Windows XP. It's odd that it doesn't crash, for you...
 
please check your email.

edit: update, ok when i compile it for windows.. in my windows VM it crashes w/ your save, this does not happen on my computer running kubuntu 10.10 w/ kde 4.5.3.

edit: edit: this crash also happens on Mac Os X. (10.5.5).

Doing it now. In the meantime, here is a screenshot (for posterity ?) :




EDIT : silly me, instead of teleporting, I can just call the sector 7 shop with Kranmer's beta trainer, to fix my problem ^^

Maybe people should stop using terrible Operating Systems. Just my two cents.

Maybe when a OS like ReactOS comes out it (and i don't mean alpha or beta, i mean a proper release) will change peoples minds since it isn't Linux or Windows. I currently have 1 PC with a dual boot of XP and Ubuntu 9.10 (i haven't updated to the latest version yet due to a problem when i tested the live CD of 10.04),1 PC with just XP and 1 laptop with Windows Vista and i have 2 more laptops one with Xbuntu and the other with Fedora 13 installed on it and i must say the Linux OS's run faster and make a more efficient use of my RAM but i still need Windows because there is a lot of stuff wine can't do yet, so until a OS like ReactOS or until Wine is capable of running everything from Windows i will be sticking with both Linux and Windows.

Anyway back on topic, Thanks for the new version sithlord48 some of the newer features will help me with some of my testing (things that need to be tested under certain conditions to make sure everything is OK, and my trainer can do alot but a few things it can't which is where this will really help).

glad i can be of help! If there are features you need for testing feel free to drop me a pm.  I have not made any plans on what new features the next version will contain so as usual suggestions are welcome.
 
Hi

im a noob here anyways sithlord48 could you please work on saving "back to a PSV. file" for the PS3

cause i downloaded FF7 on PS3 from the market place ages ago and found this program and wanted to edit some bit im able to open the PSV as you well know but i can't save back.

there loads of intelligent people on this board that i noticed maybe maybe you lot could put your heads together and sort this out.

because i can't do the workaround that you mentioned.

Anyways please have a go there loads of people that would like this.

Thank you.

one question did you attempt to look in to any of the documentation ?  there is a work around and also a reason that myself or anyone else can't save to a psv file. , go read the user manual.
 
yes i've read the "user manual"

Tip: Saving .psv or VMP files is not possible currently. This feature will be added when someone cracks
   the psv/VMP checksum. there is  workaround <----

i cannot do the workaround because i no longer have a ps2 i used to have one of them back in the stoneage moved on since then. so i cant do and messing about, i did read everything. also i no1 going to attempt to crack the psv/VMP checksum ??

Is this impposible or is it no1 can be bothered...im not trying to be rude just asking. :-\
 
its a 160-bit checksum... of a non standard type that seams to only use parts of the save file to generate the sum. i will not be working on this as im no expert in cryptology. so you will have to wait untill someone does crack it. look at the vmp files it uses a similar checksum, and the psp is long hacked w/ no attempt generate a proper checksum for vmp files.

sorry if i seam to be rude, but i get lots of stupid questions when people don't bother to read the documentation first.
