COOL you'll have to tell us when it comes out and where we can get it!  WHoooo!  Sounds great!  tee hee hee

Sounds cool, Goku.  Any way we can use that and Samuel's at the same time...?

ANYWAY,
I am currently bidding on a copy of FF8 PSX (for use in ePSXe) off of eBay.  It might end up selling for $0.99, if I'm lucky :-p

[Edit] WHICH REMINDS ME, does anyone know if there is a PC -> PSX FF8 Save Converter?  (This might have been asked before.)  I know there is one for FF7 (I have it around here somewhere) but I haven't seen an FF8 one.

What do you mean by "That"?  The new choir version of Griever's Theme?  If so......Hmm....Lemme go test it out as-is.....

*tests it*

I'd need to reassign the drum patch off of the Joriku set, on to the one Samuel made......The rhymic drum part will sound totally different, cause I had to use a separate timpani track to compensate for the lack of samples availiable in the Joriku set....and of course, I had originally asked him if he wanted to try to include this in his next musicset-DLS release, and he said he wanted to stay as close to the PSX OST as possible.

But, that doesn't stop me from testing it out after the modifications, right?  :D.

As it is, I don't know how you could use both Samuel's DLS and the new song, since it will be part of the Improved Tracks patch itself.....

I COULD be able to release everything now, but I'm having problems with applying the fixes I made to "Don't Be Afraid" to the X-ATM092 variation of it.  That's practically the only thing that's stopping me.

One more Important thing.....The Original DLS....by default, it's set as "Read-Only" in its attribute settings, so if you don't change it, the patcher won't patch it.  Now, as far as I can tell, a failure to patch it won't corrupt it, but I need to find a way to automate the removal of that attribute.....maybe a batch file would work?
 
Yeah a batch would work wonderfully.

attrib -r ff8.dls or whatever the command is, and then execute your patch.
 
Actually, I think I'd need to find the file first.  So, I'm thinkin':

dir FF8.dls attrib -r
update.exe

That's really hacked DOS commands.  I think I'm missing about fifteen different steps. :D

But, I'm not sure about the "dir" command syntax.  I need to find a way to have it search the hard drive for the file, then remove the attribute.  That way, even the computer illiterate could get it done.  But, there's still a paradox there, would they know enough to run the batch file instead of the .exe directly?  :naughty:
 
Heh, that's what the readme file is for?
Maybe you could name it
"RUN ME.bat"

Code: [Select]
Code:
Displays or changes file attributes.ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [drive:][path][filename]       [/S [/D]]  +   Sets an attribute.  -   Clears an attribute.  R   Read-only file attribute.  A   Archive file attribute.  S   System file attribute.  H   Hidden file attribute.  [drive:][path][filename]      Specifies a file or files for attrib to process.  /S  Processes matching files in the current folder      and all subfolders.  /D  Processes folders as well.

The attrib command should be

attrib ff8.dls -r /s
right?

[Edit] But of course, it would have to be in a subfolder of wherever the user put it.  You could always add a cd at the top of the bat.... but then the update file wouldn't be in the right place...

...oh well, there's some ways to do it with a BATCH file but I'm not gonna mess with it too much right now.  I'm sure you can figure it out :-p

[Edit II]
Code: [Select]
Code:
D:>AARON_WAS_HERE'AARON_WAS_HERE' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

Whatever happened to "Bad command or file name?"
[edited] 44 2002-04-19 03:49
 
Wait, no!  I got it!
Attrib *.dls -r /s

Yeah, I guess a readme COULD solve the idiot problems.....unless they're the types who disregard the readme file, thinkin' it'll just have information about what the patch does, and that it will tell you to run the .exe file....

Oh well, it's their fault for not reading the instructions....  :)
