Ain't that always the way, though?

"Well, the solution can't possibly be that!"
And then it is. Heh heh.

Thank you for pointing that out, Emmy. I appreciate it!

Stupid question: Are you using the exact same modification as the one you're providing both here and on Romhacking.net? I ask because sometimes, the simplest solutions are sometimes the answer.

That aside, I actually came here to report another glitch with Falcon Hit that was reported to me, but I figured I should make note of this first reported bug, as well:
Looking at Falcon Hit in Temporal Flux (using the Hi-Tech plugin) reveals the following changes have happened, whether intentional or not:

For a tech that "wasn't changed at all from the original game", that's quite a few changes -- the biggest of which being the addition of Ayla's stats to the damage calculation (Effect Header 1).

Now, I think it's pretty self-evident as to what's causing Falcon Hit to do random damage... but the other thing I noticed here is something that has to do with the other glitch I wanted to report, which was reported to me by someone who wishes to remain anonymous:

This, too, is easy enough to fix (in-theory):
In Effect Header 1 for Falcon Hit, just set the "Enemy is airborne (?) and "Enemy is support (?)" bits to False. This should fix that problem. Should. I haven't tested it myself because I haven't gotten Cat Attack for Ayla yet in my game and I don't want to load up a base game save just in case stat distribution is different between the hacks.

Edit:
I did a little more research into the matter. Apparently, the ROM zombero is distributing from here is different from the patch he put up on Romhacking.net.

After making a patch with Lunar IPS using the game released here, I ran the two patches through LSA's Patch Checker. There's a whopping 194 differences between the two patches -- at least one of which looks fairly substantial. But to get to the point, Falcon Hit has been mostly unchanged in the version from Romhacking.net. It only uses Effect Header 2 (Attack Power $08 (down from $10 (16), use Crono's attack power) instead of both Effect Headers 1 (Attack Power $0D (14) (down from $1E (23), use Alya's attack power) and 2. It also uses "200% damage" for its one and only Attack Effect 2, just like base game.

So. Hm. That might explain that.

Edit 2:
Okay... so the file from the main thread is v1.1... and there are a couple more versions available there (such as v1.2). The version in the on-site file repository also calls itself "v1.1", but was last updated in November of 2015 -- two months after the last "update post" -- but the file is dated 2013. However, the version at Romhacking.net, which has no version number, was last updated in 2014.

Which... version... is the actual "last" version? Because I'm under the impression most people (like myself) are playing v1.1 -- the version linked in the main thread.

... ... ...
You can... click on that, huh? Wow. Uh... Wow.

Thank you very much. I'm just gonna scoot out the back now, ha hah...

Beep-boop, I broke Vile again. Seems like only yesterday I was throwing him into the ravine in v1.3.0... Ah, nostalgia.

Details


Edit: Also. The ending still (in reference to v1.3.0) looks weird. The road itself is fine, but somehow the background tiles are misaligned, making it look like the road in the lower city just turns to one side over-and-over. Also, there's this:


Edit II (09/30/2016):
Just got done playing through it start-to-finish. My head hurts... That aside, are you sure you fixed the dropped inputs? There were several times in Spark Mandrill's boss room, as well as Sigma Fortress 1's platforms... or really, anywhere there were "object platforms", I seemed to have a really tough time using the dash button. I even checked my emulator's input indicators. I was pressing the button, but nothing was happening unless I held it.
