Thanks, gimme a few to see what I can do to replicate this.
Okay, yeah, I can definitely say that, due to her level at the very least, her stamina build with the Omega Weapon is encountering some form of an overflow.
Though to be honest, level 40+ is, I feel, definitely getting into territory where you're getting extremely powerful for even Kefka's Tower. I presume you're simply getting everyone to 50 for whatever reason, but I'll pass this along to BTB for later. As I don't feel that, with my testing at level 40 at least, that it'll be significant within the margin of levels suitable for the endgame itself, that this will be a significant issue to be fixed, unlike the vigor overflow, as this is something rather difficult to do unless you're really wanting to overlevel.
Regardless, it is good to know about, and thank you for coming across it.
Brave New World 1.8.4 is now available!

I basically wanted to see the full potential of the characters since I was already above level 40 (how much Cyan can break the damage cap with Tempest and stuff), haha. But yeah, if it is only going to happen at such high levels, it is not very significant, especially since the new changelog states that the game now is suposed to end at the mid 30's. Still, I thought I should report it just in case, haha. And yeah, beating Kefka is a breeze at this level.

Well you certainly got the potential and then some out of Terra. Hopefully it's restricted to just her with the Omega Weapon and stamina builds, but let us know if you come across anything else like that will maxing them out.

Yeah, Cyan can get up to 7000 damage per hit of Tempest with the right equipment, it is insane, hahaha. Physical attacks also seem to outclass magic by a large margin at these levels, maybe lowering the level cap to 40 could be an idea in order to avoid game breaking.

Yeah, it's nice to know, but my official stance is that I do not give a shit about fixing it.
1.8 adjusts the level curve because I was sick of seeing people overlevel. Mid-30's has *always* been the expected end-game level, it's just that overleveling was too easy to do.

Hi, could anyone PM the new Unlockme.rar password?
I finished the game 2 or 3 patches back, when the password was [nope], so I'd really like to make use of the goodies this time around.
I'd really appreciate it. Also, congratulations on the new release!

Weird, it's not working for me. I'll edit my previous post then, though.
Never mind, someone already did.
Edit: oh, I just remembered the correct password. Sorry!

I see the "secret" WoB Bone Club was removed (from the unlockme.txt at least). That will make things much harder for me in the FC... which is good!

One really minor thing I wanted to point out, is that I realized with the removal of the % from MBlock%, you could probably rename that stat to include a period as "M.Block".
Thanks for all your continued hard work..gif)

I think I know the overflow bug. If the formula multiplies by HP before dividing by max, it'll overflow at high enough damage and HP. I'll get to work on a fix, I think I have a good idea of what to do.

The bosses all seem to be much easier than when I last played the game. Vargas in particular couldn't even touch me and the bears were oneshotted by one Bio Blaster shot without previous damage. (Vargas was taking just under 600 damage from it, too).
I know it's not a difficulty mod, but I was surprised. Still loving it, though.

I dont know if this is considered a bug or if it is already known, but I found out that equiping Gogo with 2 weapons and using certain Bushido skills make them way more powerfull than they should be, the game is probably considering the Bt Power shown at the screen as the actual power of the "weapon" used in the damage formula (the readme states that some of his skills are using the weapon power now, so that should be it).

I see. So Gogo can be a viable damage dealer after all, hahaha. The new esper equip bonus is really refreshing to the gameplay, trying to beat the game under level 40 this time. You guys did a really great job with this mod. The fight against Atma Weapon is just epic (just reached it).

Gogo has a lot of options for dealing good damage, but they all involve him having Shadow levels of survivability.
Glad you're enjoying the mod.

So there appears to be a somewhat... obscure problem with nATB. An e-mailer playing on a unique setup reported it:
As a test, I sent him a 1.8.0 patch without nATB included and the flashing subsided. At this point I find it likely to be an emulator issue as I don't think anything like this has been reported before.

One issue I ran in to that I cannot seem to shake is when I play BNW on retropie built on a Raspberry pi 3, the battle menus flash dark to light randomly. I cannot determine a rhyme or reason to it other than when an action is about to take place the menu appears normal, and when what would have been atb wait time, the menu is dark but visible.
The game works fine and everything else seems to be in order but the flash is not quite seizure inducing but happens frequently to cause a headache.
I ran the unmodded rom on the same setup and it doesn't occur and no other game has this issue. Just wondering if you guys have seen anything with retropie or a setting that could resolve this. It's a freshly patched rom and never been played on a pc emulator. My brother used the same rom for his brave new world install and doesn't have this issue on snes9x on his pc.

Mishrak has seen it, though in his case it was an emulator setting issue that was not specific to BNW (I believe).

Yeah, I've seen the nATB code so I can't really say what it is. Definitely sounds emulator-specific, especially since it *does* work right on hardware.
