I found this post on our Forum. In the last spoiler tag, there's part 39 of Tenkarider's run and he mention in text under it is the segment where he found the Dreamstone. This is 2015 so unless it was moved you should find your answer in this video.

We did a screenshot contest at ff6hacking.com. We wanted to make it as open as possible so you could only edit dialogues. But a variance requiring some modding skills could be "WTF Screenshot Contest" with no limitation and no specific game, meaning you mod a specific scene, event, battle, w/e or use existing elements and twist them. More than one submission per user is possible, community or admin team could vote for winner.

I'd like to add if you miss the bundle deadline the ROM Hack book will be sold on Amazon after for a 10$ price. There will also be a volume 2 with a RotDS article. The author is new to the ROM hacking universe so his opinion are from a different perspective. There is also a possibility of a paperback version (w/e a paper book is called) but likely for a higher price.

Ah thanks for the heads up, we recently did a server clean-up and these must've been moved. I'll get them working again asap.

Yes I noticed you like the week before and another time right after I made the file moves. I'm the one who also updated your links on ff6hacking.com just now.

RotDS Monster Gallery

You can now view a RotDS Monster Gallery on the ff6hacking wiki. The page is also linked on the RotDS main wiki page. If you want to download all monster, an archive is available here.

I've extracted the monsters with and utility I've coded (except GhostTrain) that work with any FF3us ROM but I'm not yet ready to release it. Note that monsters 376 and 379 are nothing as well as 415.

I made a patch compatible with BNW 1.8.6 monsters: download

Also the correct indexed 16 PNG file to import in FF3SE if you want to do this yourself:

Nice one! You went farther than me. I just assembled the kit, mapped my 8Bitdo controller and uploaded ROMs. That is enough for me but themes and game images are cool too.

Much of that is due to the fact that I've changed a lot of numbers to the point to where I have to individually edit and test each enemy and encounter to make sure it feels right. If I put my mind to it I could probably have WoB fully playable within 2-3 weeks but I tend to underestimate the time it will take or my motivation. 

Yeah adequate or good balance can take some time, in the case of FF6. It's often not a 1.0 thing. The perfect balance is one of those endless quests so don't even bother reaching the concept. I think a good balance would be satisfactory in any way, especially if you have a definition of "good" in a perfectionist way.

This made me thought about the damage calculator, there is at least 1 inaccuracy and I've never use it so I'm not sure if it really help for a complete mod. It may test some scenarios faster than triggering in-game or at least find a balance faster than 10 same changes in FF3usME and emulator ROM loading: http://mnrogar.slickproductions.org/calculator/index.htm

The main problem with asking people to test is that people want a finished product before they play. This is understandable but I'm going to ask everyone anyway if they would be interested in doing some beta testing. If you aren't interested, what would make you interested? I'm confident that I can have the game fully playable up to the end of the 3 scenarios by next weekend. This isn't a lot of the game to test but it is enough to start to paint the picture of what i'm trying to do.

Unless you are doing changes to the battle engine, other moderate or heavy ASM changes or complex new event work, the thing left to test is balance. Anything else except things previously mentioned can be tested in a single occurrence or trigger. My two cents are for a beta test to be enjoyable you need: not a broken game and on your side things to improve.

I don't have the free time to test mods but I can give inputs if needed. A playable 3 scenarios is a good first demo / beta IMO. Just try finding people that will give constructive inputs and know FF6 a bit before playing your mod demo.

Pretty neat!

Personally, I would take the save where it freeze, set breakpoints on the event instructions in back $C0, one breakpoint for the event instruction that precede the freeze and one for the possible freezing event command. You would see where registers get corrupted or find a potential infinite loop.

Thanks to everyone from NG+ who gave something. We'll accept donation for dn even after Sunday but in this case please specify somehow it is for dn because the official donation period on our forum is until Sunday and after this I won't be able to separate really if not specified donations to our site from donations to dn. You can see the total given by both communities here: https://www.ff6hacking.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=3488

Although I would really want to monster AI, maps, and events, I voted for everything that was marked easy because I feel like at the very least that is a great core to work around.  You can do a lot to the game just editing those things, so if the new version has at least those, it is enough while the more difficult things are being worked on.

Yeah you are right! Dialogue editor and Font were not so easy but since the game font is used in the editor for comboboxes or lists, I had to get the backend of it done so I've done the editor part too. Same for game string, I was aiming to do monster names edit in monster data editor but since we are into strings, while not doing the 3 game tables as well as all the string and its editor since game text is a single mega block of 25 000 entries (for 5 languages).

Now there will be less and less stuff like this slowing me down since I have more and more done and most design problems were resolved (until new ones arise ) so hopefully if I'm not committing to other projects I should have a solid beta in 2017. I just feel stupid being the guy that is saying for the last 2+ years that a new version is coming but I get easily distracted by working on the FF6 wiki, forum or on small hacking projects and contributions.

Nice list but for FFVI we have moved our editor pages:

FF6 (SNES): https://www.ff6hacking.com/wiki/doku.php?id=ff3:ff3us:util:start

FF6 (GBA): https://www.ff6hacking.com/wiki/doku.php?id=ff6a:utils

General: https://www.ff6hacking.com/wiki/doku.php?id=rh:utilities

Lockirby list is also a bit outdated since some editors are no longer there and there are some new ones.. I will make a new list with editor name - short description for each one and send it to you in a few days max by pm so you can update the thread.

Updated Lockirby list:

I've been working on a FF6 Advance editor since 2013 and a first version was released in 2014. A new WPF version is slowly being developed and I got the font editor, monster and item data editor and dialogue editor near completion (overall 90%+ finished). I'm making a poll to see what you would like seeing first. Elements have the easy (E), medium (M) or hard (H) mention regarding knowledge on them and time to code. Nothing music related is include because music editing can already be done with another tool.

Beta in 2019?

Edit: Really nice work!

Hello all! I was on ID (not that much though) and now I'm on NG+. I have been named "the ff6 guy" two or three time on ID or on the ID Discord not in the way that I'm more a reference than anybody else but in the way I basically only work on FF6 and on a FF6 forum. I'd like to mention many "FF6 guys" exist, notably Synchysi, BTB, dn, Gi Nattak, Auraplatonic, BirdyLuck, Tenkarider, etc. (the list could go on).

Great site btw, I was able to put my wonderful philosophical quote about being a piece of paper as my profile banner!
