If I had the time and patience to learn hacking PSX games, Suikoden I and II would be the very first games I'd dive into. I adore the series, but there is a *lot* of work to be done on both of those games.
For what it's worth, the director of the first three Suikoden games, Yoshitaka Murayama, is directly involved in Eiyuden Chronicle, so I backed the hell out of it on day one.

For the record, the RNG update patch is still being applied, and I detected no conflicts with it from other patches. So if something is going on with the RNG, it may be that Think will need to trace it and see if something is getting wonkified.

Being Blinded while Jumping causes Jump to respect row; this is the cause of dealing half damage in this circumstance(proc damage is affected as well).Normal damage without blind was ~650, Front Row+Blind was ~650, Back Row+Blind was ~325. (Dark) Proc was about 3100 Normal, 1400 Blinded(wasn't paying too close attention to normal proc, might have been less than 3100, either way, it probably falls within variance).
This information should make the issue much easier to fix.

Quick update: I know the fix for the missing damage numbers, and it seems to fix the lag as well. It'll be corrected in RC13, which I'll put out after I get home from work this afternoon.
I was unable to duplicate the dried meat issue. If the above doesn't fix it, I'll look more into it.
-
The EP display fix was reverted a while back, so that part at least is a known bug. I know the fix, I just need to get the other stuff sorted out first.

In theory, yes, that's the penalty. In practice, the player will reload their save and repeatedly try again until they win. It's not gambling if there's no possibility of the house winning.
-
It's not really gambling if there's no penalty for losing, is it? That's my main problem with the coliseum, and really any type of gambling in a game like this. The player's going to save, gamble, and reload if they don't get what they wants. It becomes less reliance on RNG and more a test of the player's patience.
To me, making it easy to win and get whatever item you desire is more a QoL change than anything else.

We'll properly-case all the names and use FULL CAPS FOR THE DIALOGUE.

As other have said, the suicide sequence isn't forced, and we actually made it easier to save him. You're either having shit luck with RNG not spawning the right fish, or you're feeding him the wrong fish.

; EP will be stored in SRAM locations $1CF8 - $1D0F (2 bytes per character)
; EL will be stored in SRAM locations $1D10 - $1D1B (1 byte per character)
; Unspent EL will be stored in SRAM locations $1D1C - $1D27 (1 byte per character)
; SP will be stored in SRAM locations $1E1D - $1E28 (1 byte per character)So yes, there is a conflict.

I will check on this when I get home.

- No, because spell names can only be six characters. So Protect won't fit. Firaga would fit, but it would be inconsistent with the other -aga spells. Changing Vigor and Fight are doable, but they're placed rather snugly where they are, meaning no room for easy expansion. To me, it's not worth the effort to make those changes. Aqua Rake is just something we never bothered changing, and X-Zone... never even occurred to me. I think it's fine how it is, though.
- Silliness is the point. The game's storyline itself is serious enough.
- Because it was actually GrandTrain, and BTB and I both hate camel casing (you'll notice we did away with every instance of it that we feasibly could). We decided to just rename it to something that we could space and capitalize properly.
- Balance reasons, and to try to differentiate weapons a little better.

4 hours ago, GeradFigaro said:Ah. That makes sense. Does anyone have an MD5 of a properly patched ROM? Will I have to start over?
You will almost certainly need to start over, yes.

This is an issue with any chest that is handled by an event rather than a treasure object. It's minor enough that I haven't bothered with a workaround, though it's on my list (way down at the bottom) of things to look at.

If you don’t want the hassle, you can probably find a YouTube vid of someone going thru zozo in vanilla. I don’t think the time has changed, just BNW uses Roman numerals instead of Arabic digits.
I don't remember if we changed the time or not (pretty sure we didn't), but even if we did, the location of the correct options hasn't changed (i.e., if the correct hour in vanilla is the third option, it'll be the third option in BNW).

10 hours ago, d'Aubigne said:Just finished the game. Final dungeon was fantastic, felt like a true challenge. Planning on a writeup/review later this week.
I made heavy use of Phoenix during the final dungeon, and noticed that graphical glitches tend to pop up on the player side (around 2nd and 3rd position) after Phoenix is summoned. This seems like it'd be a known bug, just checking in to confirm that it is. I am playing on Snes9x 1.55.
It's a known issue. It feels like some sort of animation buffer overflow, and I've been able to replicate it on a vanilla ROM, I just haven't gotten around to figuring out how to fix it.

Lovecraft was my first thought, but it's hard to say definitively. The full quote reads (pardon the bullet format, this forum doesn't allow single spacing for some strange reason and it looks like crap double spaced):
- After the daylight
- The night of pain
- That is not dead
- Which can rise again
I think it's safe to assume it was inspired by that line from The Call of Cthulhu, just worded in a less... Lovecraftian manner. Or it's original. Who knows.

The original FF6 logo is something we could import - there are already patches out there that do this. Adding the lettering for Brave New World is probably doable as well, but I don't have the skills to do so.
It's importing the BNW logo that isn't really possible without jacking up all the colors.
-
I personally have no interest in creating an item randomizer for BNW, but I won't discourage anyone else that wants to give it a shot.

13 hours ago, Kaffe Myers said:The logical balance would be that you could turn off overworld random battles, but all caves, castles, dungeons, whatever -- "zoomed-in places" -- still have them. If that is anything that they can code without spending 1000 hours of reverse-engineering?
Is bob you uncle, @Synchysi?Encounters are determined by separate functions for overworld and dungeon areas, so it shouldn't be difficult if we choose to go that route.

No, but characters without an esper equipped will not earn SP.
Can you double check with Golem?

It was up until much better hackers than myself began offering their services.

We ran into a couple of last second issues that needed to be resolved so it's a few days late, but I just sent 1.9.0 to BTB for full release.
-
That's enough to convince me to re-institute stripping weapon effects from jump attacks. If BTB is fine with that, I should be able to put out 1.9 proper tomorrow.
Thank you!

I will have to mess with that next chance I get, though I think much of what I would end up wanting to do is probably beyond the scope of an editor.
