I'll probably write up some text stuff that can be modified into a tutorial, like setting up a new fight with an Ogan/other transforming enemy.
-
Adding Transforming Enemies:
Load up Gato's exhibit for an easy to test example.
1) In Object 08 Startup/Idle, change the LoadEnemy from {92} Gato to {74} Ogan, and Enemy Index to 03. lick Update to save your changes to the command.
2) Note the SetObjectCoord values, in this case (80, 80)
3) Click Object to add a new object at the end of the list.
4) Select Object 9's Startup/Idle, and click Command to add a command to it.
5) Change Category to Sprite Drawing, and Command to Load Sprite. In the new options, Type should be Enemy, Enemy should be {72} Ogre, and Enemy Index should be 4. Static enemy can remain false, and variant will be calculated for you. Click Update.
6) Add another command, this time setting Category to Object Coordinates, and Command to Set Object Coordinates. XCoord and YCoord should match the value from Step 2. Click Update.
7) Add a third command, changing the category to Sprite Drawing, and command to Drawing Status. This time we will change the variant to 7E, and Drawing Status to Hide. Click Update Remove Object only applies with Drawing Status: Remove, so we can ignore that. We changed the variant because Temporal Flux doesn't fully understand the variants, and will choose one of the appropriate options.
8) Add a fourth and fifth command. The fourth can be left as the default return, but the fifth should have its Stop Type changed to End.
9) Select Object 9's touch, and add a command. Leave it as the default return.
10) Click Write Mem. to update this Location's Events.
11) Go to File -> Save to update your events in the ROM.
12) Test your changes in the game. "Gato" looks quite sleepy when talking about his joints.
There are rules about Enemy Index that I don't fully understand, but the values above were tested as safe for these enemies.

Mauron doesn't need a Step No. 8, only a Step No. Cool Nu

I'm waiting for your game. I am encouraging you to fight.

Alrighty...
Been getting more organized lately (WELL, ITS ABOUT TIME), haha.
It's funny because it's true.
Anyways, I've started a basic outline of 'what' I might do for a mini-series.
I plan to do a basic overview editor(the boring stuff) for the first video, I 'estimate' that it should be around a half hour long video.
After that's taken care of, I will record the second video, teaching the basics(gently progressing, to cover a range of learning curves), showing in tutorial format of building the Adventurer's Tent. The gists of Map editing as well as Events(Location Events being the main focus of these tutorials). Such tutorial will consist of: adding a custom NPC shop with dialog based on Storyline_ptr (the in-game progression variable), so shops can 'upgrade'. This also shows how to stream events by a mem.pointer for the purposes of variable time-lines that people might want to add to their game mods. I intend to keep the information taught concise as well as informative(perhaps adding points of suggestions as well). I would like people to use their creative talents to craft their works, rather than the 'Well, how do you make this or that. and on and on."
I have a few others planned (like the 'hungry treasure chest that builds 'Adventurer Rank reputation' by trading in-game items & upgrading the storyline_ptr shop to accept the new variable. Then leading to making random mini-dungeons and having multiple possible versions for in-game discussion, that sort of stuff.
*My laptop seems to be much more stable(it had BETTER be! or else!), so I hope to begin recording some segments of the first tutorial. Hope that goes well.
*and yes, for those that inquire, CT+ will get done,(I've got a lot of other projects on my plate at this time as well) after the tutorial mini-series is done, I will power-build the remaining areas and enhancements.
:)
-
Sounds like a good plan.
-
:picardno
Sadly the day I Was preparing to start recording somehow my laptop's hard drive partition loader decided to be a f****** retard and I can't get into my computer. The boot partition doesn't load, yet loading from a Linux disk (without installing or changing partition data) displays that all the partition data is intact. I'll have to try to figure out how to install Windows without a boot partition, perhaps go to the library and download the boot partition USB utility program and try that.
Nonetheless I have a trillion backups of files so I'm not worried about that. Also has anyone attempted to get temporal flux working in Raspberry Pi?
-Z
-
Ugh, that stinks.
Glad you have backups.
I have not tried running Temporal Flux in Raspberry Pi.
-
Al right. 'Bout to get this rockin'. Hope to get some content produced, edited and uploaded within a week or so. I'm shooting for less since this new, rockin' hardware is way better than the craptop(crap laptop) I was using.
8)
~Z
-
Looking forward to it.
I've done a little studying of overworld events lately. I might be able to help you get started on a tutorial for those soon.

Spiffy!
I just got the Screen Recording Software to work, so I'm going to start recording some segments today. I will experiment with live audio/along with working in Temporal Flux, as well as recording editing in Temporal Flux (and recording the narration later) whichever has the best workflow and outcome resolution is what I'll go with.
~Z
-
Glasses smiley strikes again.
That would be MrBekkler. Rest in peace. I mean, he's not dead, but he's not active. So, uh, chill in peace...?
-
He's the one making my item 8s into smileys? At least I have a name now...
-
I've some basic footage done...going to record for a few more hours before I start condensing into Episodes/Tutorials.
~Z
-
Double-post!
Good enough footage for a starter set of videos, it's Fried-day, so let's 'burn one' and "git er done!"
~Z
-
:picardno
Good God my laptop's hard drive went out so I have to send that in.
Grrr... I was hoping to have this done by now. Sorry about the inconvenience and the delayed response.
No more procrastination, when I get back I'll get those videos done right away.
-Z
-
Good news, I got my laptop back from MSI.
Lost the video files I had before, (but I feel they needed revision anyways)
Will be rocking some new ones within the week (and HOPEFULLY some anomaly doesn't interfere...) :D
~Z
-
Get you a SSD! :D
Glad to hear you're back up and running.
-
Plan on doing that, for sure.
~Z
-
Let me know if you need any input on the videos.
-
Getting close I got about seven hours of video covering about one-fifth of the contents I want to cover.
I had to go through an edit out the crap, but I'm going to be doing minimal edits, if some weird anomaly occurs that I've encountered before......I'm going to explain all the way through--the best I know about it and how to avoid it will be apparent. (Things to avoid, and how to get yourself out of a trap)..
I've got a few more hours of recording before I can release the first two tutorial. I wanted them to be a half hour or so,... They are more like 3 hours each but I'm glad it is so, because I underestimated how much content there is to cover.
Tutorial 1: Mostly an overview of Temple Flux and its features and the plug-ins.
Tutorial 2: We make, FROM scratch (no imports pre-created), though they shall be included... Anyway, we(because tutorial 2 is a follow along) make new areas, items, hack in NEW graphics for those items, (can't make new areas without new stuff right?) the Adventurers Tent:(gain reputation and other cool things),...
...As of right now I'm in the middle of showing how to make a new reputation system (like WoW), where the player can turn in items to get a higher rank and get access to better shops, etc.... the cool thing is is we can ***template copy and paste*** this kind of stuff across the ROM and make more mini factions in different eras.
Later I'll get into cutscenes and more advanced events. And what not but it is starting to shape up!
-Z
-
Also, make videos about overworld. On those complicated commands, this is anxious !!! :o 8)
-
:picardno
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!n(whatever that means!)
Who wants to pre-view them via google.drive, etc? Im not pretending to be sane. LOL.
No judgments, that's that.
WARNING: GRATUITOUS SWEARING(worse than a pirate) is prevalent!
..........
EDIT: Temporarily offline... Going to do some more recording/editing...and figure out what happened to video6. Hopefully have some better content soon!
~Z
-

Ok. I'll do my best, I've only done a few things...I'm not that good at it, but I'll make a few new events.

Isso e um sonho!!! De informação!! :oh

Isso e um sonho!!! De informação!! :oh
I don't know what you are saying(?).
Translatation: this is a dream of information
Nonetheless, I plan on adding subtitles (so they can be understood better).
~Z
-
I think chrono12 was saying something along the lines of "This is a dream come true! So much information!!"
I watched the first capture. It's a good start. Sometimes you were a bit hard to understand though.
For the Mark All as Modified option: Temporal Flux only saves data to the ROM if it's been altered in some way, indicated by the record's bModified flag. Marking all will resave everything, and for data that can be moved, it will attempt to reorganize everything. Originally this had the potential to save space, but if you have Hi-Tech installed it won't, because I haven't attempted to recreate Chrono Trigger's method of saving space for tech animations.
Also my test of it just now took about 5 minutes, ran out of free space on a fresh ROM, and gave an error in Hi-Tech.

Makes sense...

I plan on doing audio editing to balance the levels, and such.

Ok, I will record a bit explaining that and update that segment of video when I get to development/editing. I've also lost Segment 6 somehow, so I'm going to have to rewatch what I've recorded and figure out what went missing. I hate redos, but I'll have to do that.
I plan on doing the editing soon, I'm having too much fun recording....
I am going to take down the link soon for the pre-views soon, I just wanted a few people to take a look and ensure I can be understood.
~Z
-
Update: Getting closer, I've got content for Tutorial #3 recorded.
Going to get 4 & 5 done, then from there just have to start editing/splicing, etc.
EDIT:
Tutorial 3 is NOT done!! I've yet to finish Ayla's Searing Chasm Quest Chain in that part of the tutorial (which has to do with dungeon enhancements)....there will be a delay in the release of the first 3 videos. Thank you for the patience.
~Z
-
:picardno
Ran out space on my google drive (they only give you so much) lol.
Anyway, because of this, I'm going to just have to be careful, and get the rest of #3 done, then do edits so I can get some content on YouTube(hopefully before family vacation on the 21st)

Fatalistic cataclysm.
TUTORIAL 3: ...why call it 'anything'?
New Cutscenes: Ocean Palace / Black Omen, Extended Frog/Lucca Cutscenes, RubyEdge
GAME_WORLD::Dungeon Upgrades, spruce up areas, etc.
Manoria Chapel, Guardia Prison, Arris Dome, Heckran Caverns, Reptite's Lair, Castle Maou
Tyrano Lair, Ayla's Quest Searing Chasm(ENEMY AI tutorial, etc.) AND hidden items(24)...
TUTORIAL 4:..where to go from here...? ...Lost Cutscenes: Post-Castle Magus Cataclysm, Zeal Palace Cutscene
Crono's Quest Elementals & Custom Puzzles, Villages, NPC QUESTs, MINI-DUNGEONS!! mwa ha ha! >:-}
Due to "old" exports (AND ROMS) *NOT* having the most recent version in existence (for some reason), ....there will be a delay in the development and release of Tutorial #3 & 4. However, Intro #0, #1, & #2 will be released (after the appropriate edits). Should be within the week or so...
~Z
-
Ok. I'm not a fatalist, nonetheless, I curse *you!* oh, 'I have save Ayla's & Crono's Quest Chains' (and for some reason, only the older version is existing...).
So, I'm working on video 4 & 5. I'm skipping the end part video 3 (Ayla's Quest) and doing video4 (Crono's LEGENDARY 4 ELEMENTS OF THE PLANET, GaiaStrike{tech}, and AtomEdge{Weapon}, instead.
This will be explained, &/or cut when I do video edits (so seamlessly the viewer of the tutorials won't even notice, all the content is relevant to learning the interface...which is the purpose of these videos anyway.)
I'm still debating on whether to include .exports (either way: no .IPS files!! I never have luck with those!) at all, because I want people to learn the interface, not just copy&paste learn it. Nonetheless, merely watching the videos is intended for the 'viewer' to learn the information taught(without needed outside 'files' though those are recommended!!).
Anyways, I'm not going to stress it too much.. I'm just considering...
Anyways, how are AIeditor and TechEditor coming?
~Z
-
Hi-Tech needs a few updates. Enemy AId is kind of a mess at this point due to some data loss, but I'll get it back together.

Cool. I'm getting closer to an actual video release. (unlike versions of CT++...which is now what I'm calling it, since there are several CT+ mods out there now.)
I DO want to document this plugin in early versions, (it would be great to have the update and pallet editors before I begin).
As for "ITEM icon"... do you think you could edit ITEMIZER and update it so we can use a 'hex value' to determine which icon to use? Color can come later, I need this.
Please and Thank You!
~Z
-
The Hi-Tech update will be done soon. I still won't be messing with data Temporal Flux can already edit, such as item names.

The Hi-Tech update will be done soon. I still won't be messing with data Temporal Flux can already edit, such as item names.
Unfortunately this requires a space I think 0 x 80 in front of item names in the string out of there if I change it to zero x 81(... some other icon say a shield or whatever...) it's no space at all(... in the string editor)...and I can't put this in with the string quickly I have to do it manually with hex which is a pain in the katooter... I think I asked this before but it would it be possible to just have a little string notation that warns you upon saving that if the strings editor is open it's going to overwrite the data &/or potentially conflict or undesirable results.
-Z
-
I can't tell what windows are open, what records have been modified, or access string records on anything but a read only basis.

We would then need to either ask and Geiger to make a class derivative that is non reference based...(This is NOT type safe and not recommended in programming), or some other option.
What order does Tempur Flex save data in is it internal data then plug in data I assume how does it sort it all and then it saves it all at once?
-Z
-
I don't have access to details of the saving process. I provide data on how much space I need, if it should go in the original location, etc, and Temporal Flux takes care of the rest.

Interesting. I was wondering, can you make a short text you all tutorial on how to make a very simple plugin in temporal flux I know there is supposedly documentation on the TFPArchitecture... but it's not very good.
If you, (if you don't mind my asking) can make a short text tutorial on making a temporal flux plugin( something simple like the shop editor), ... don't go on every step but more like an overview of what you need to put in... such as looking up the addresses, etc. Make it real brief but understood.
After that I will convert it into a video tutorial so people can make their own.
This should take an hour or less if that I would like to include this in the first release of Tutorial #1(which I'm doing editing today on).
-Z
-
I can try and get to that, but I don't know when I'll be able to, and I'm not sure how useful it will be.
-
I can try and get to that, but I don't know when I'll be able to, and I'm not sure how useful it will be.
Oh it will be useful. Trust me.
-Z
-
Furthermore on the subject I would like to make a video tutorial on the data that you give me I would think it should only take you an hour or so to compile what's needed for a shop editor or could I have a "well commented" source code project copy of your plug-in? that might be even enough for me to do so...
Update: I've been trying to get an apartment I got thrown out of my place and I am trying to move to a better situation so my stuff is in storage I've got my files on backup in the cloud and Google Drive so no worries... once I get to where I'm moving to I will continue and finalize the First videos and release of the series hopefully within a month or so I have that up... especially if I have the new features of plugins that were requested.
/sexy_winkyface
-Z
-
Shop Editor is annoyingly a mess at the moment because I lost some data when migrating between computers. To make some much needed upgrades I need to redo most of the plugin.
Nothing at the moment is "well commented." Some isn't commented at all. x_x
-
Ok. What about a SynthShop? Changing the value (and type!) of item/G traded in exchange for other items, how had would it be to make a plugin do this!?
~Z
-
Setting it up in the first place would be a huge hack. I'd recommend taking the same approach as the trading hut in the prehistoric era.
-
Do you have a tutorial video for extracting (compressed) graphics and reinserting them? I know there's a topic on this here but the language is a bit too technical for me.
-
He's the one making my item 8s into smileys? At least I have a name now...
I just made the smiley graphics out of Nu sprites. I didn't write the software that runs the forum and misinterprets your text. My role in this years-old problem is tiny.
-
I'll spare you... this time.

Also a huge hack, and I'm not sure if Temporal Flux would be able to make use of it.
-
Also a huge hack, and I'm not sure if Temporal Flux would be able to make use of it.
I'm not sure I understand this. 8x would simply mean stretching the window draw for dialog boxes from 0-3, to 0-7... (the "CheckResult" Command in Events already can accept higher than 3 as a value, so a "huge:" 'choice screen of 8 options' could be done "rather easy?"
Please consider adding this as a "patch/feature" that would be cool!
~Z
-
Maybe I overestimated the difficulty some, but the text box first/last decision line value in Temporal Flux can't accept values outside the 0-3 range. Also Temporal Flux automatically inserts line/page breaks based on a four line window.
-
Out of all of these, the last 3 would be really useful to know how to do in particular.
Hopefully, the videos get uploaded soon!

I was pretty sure there was a way to override the automatically insert line / page breaks... is there a way to know what the hexadecimal address for a particular command line is so that I can manually change that perhaps I should go to the Future suggestion and add such a request because that would be cool to just know the heck states that meant that of course this would have to require the update button.
Out of all of these, the last 3 would be really useful to know how to do in particular.
Hopefully, the videos get uploaded soon!
What three things are you referring to?
Also yes I hope to be able to work on that soon.
-Z
-
What I meant were how to do cutscenes, the randomized mini-dungeon and the Blackjack minigame from Crimson Echoes/Flames of Eternity (I presume?).

Crimson Echoes has Blackjack?! Cool! I wonder if they copy/past'd it from my CT+ Eternal End Mod/Hack. :)
...and yes, actually, all three have been documented/covered, I just have to EDIT through alot of video content and get the videos released.
~Z
-
Any other requests?
I would like before I finalize the start...

Other than the content covered here, I'm taking other requests, please elaborate in details, if possible...and I'll try to incorporate 'how to do' in the Video Tutorial Series.
Thank you for the patience...
~Z
-
Nothing? Are you sure because I'm still taking requests after I start the video series however they will dwindle and optimize choice please cast your choices now....
... once I begin it won't be as easy and I will start a poll of what I might consider to add in later episodes.
... however right now on you get the choice of what you want... do you want a new dungeon or is there a certain cutscene type you would like to see that you don't know how to do or is there some bug that you would like to see how to get around or whatever let me know I can tell you how to figure that out at least and we'll work through it together in the videos haha. Until then video one is going to be released soon....
-Z

I'm not the core user of TF, but what you've proposed looks solid from my end.
-
There's no upper limit, right? Can't it be somewhat of a rolling series? Thanks for your work.

After the main videos (and the sub-videos in between) then yes, perhaps this may become a rolling series...

Finalizing some edits it's not perfect I'm going to leave a few of the mistakes I've made along the way in there as lessons to show "what not to do" and such I do have to figure out a different level of compression though...because the first video of being 3 hours long is 17.5 GB.
I don't know if YouTube is going to get mad at me if I upload this... I'll have to opt for a smaller file format without losing image quality. Hope to have this figured out within a couple days or so.
-Z
-
What's your current setup and encoder settings?
A three-hour video for YouTube, primarily with screen recording, should really be no more than 3 GB, I would say.
(Depending on resolution and framerate, I believe it's reasonable to get that down to 1 GB.)
Edit: But of course, if you have the bandwidth, YouTube will take that. I believe the limit is 128 GB and 12 hours. (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/71673)
-
hmmm... Okay, I'll do some final mixing tonight and see...I've got a couple more things to add to the first video(but it's nearly complete!)
~Z
-
I hate to say it but I'm going to have to re-record the video... after reviewing it several times that are too many erratic portions in it and wastes of time. ... I'm just not happy how it turned out I'm going to re-do it.
I'll try to have it up soon... shouldn't take me nearly as long.
~Z
-
I've only been sorta following this, have you made the video showing how to extract the compressed graphics and reinsert them yet?
-
Actually, since I've had to refactor these...I'm including this in Video #1.
We will be replacing the icons (weapons, accessory, items) and expanding upon this (adding a "legendary weapons item icon", CUSTOM ITEM ICON (like the Adamantium Ore) and HOWTO do the least amount of steps for doing so.
I've got some days off coming up, hope to FINALLY upload the videos.
~Z
-
Ok, my apologies for the wait... (I'll be honest I'm addicted to Pokemon GO!)
Status Update:
I've got about 1 more hour to add of content to video, then I can refine it.
Tutorials are now more of a 'journey' so to speak (I realized this with the the rewrite of Tutorial 1)
TUTORIAL 1: INTRO shzat (and the Beauty of .IMPORT/.EXPORT), Interface CONTENT, Plugins GALORE!!
Menu Functions, Events(LATER!!), ...but Music, Strings(why so soon?), Treasure for NOW!, (BONUS GFX!), Basic Events.
Follow up: Millennial Fair Expansion EXTRAVAGANZA! (upgrade complete!)
Just going through the interface and temporal flux and explaining it, (while being complete) to the point of explaining making a DEBUG warp room(combining what was taught about locations, maps, exits, events all together near the end has taken nearly 6 hours. I also start talking about plugins extras like making custom items. (may as well include that in the first video, gotta make it interesting >:-)
I hope to get some more finishing touches and quit putting getting this released off...so I can work on other endeavors ;)

-
The project is yours, so the deadlines are your own to make. Take the time you need to be happy with your work.
-
Let's face it times are rough on Earth right now.
Some ass clown decided to make some super power made out of a bat and fucked up....
...and the coronavirus came out instead.
While the coronavirus is not as dire as Lavos, we will endure.
I hope to actually get back into making those tutorials I have a much better template ization with less time-wasting than the last videos I was about to release when I had my last computer.
No more breaking computers... the way my brother breaks bikes(note to self)....
Hope to get back at it soon...happy hacking everyone! be safe.
-Z
-
Great news I'm about to get a new computer to work on this....hope to have every tutorial possible about the basics of ChronoTrigger editing and events down to 6 videos.. while I do have my stuff on Google Drive backup I might actually re-record at least one final time and then I can cross-reference mix stuff later... but I feel at this point I could do so much better on a video tutorial once I get a PC to work on.
-Z
-
Yay! :D
-
I'm just starting to dip my toe into modding and I'd love a tutorial but I didn't see anything linked in the thread. Possibly I'm a big dummy?
-
Zakyrus hasn't released a video yet. If you have any questions, just ask. :)
-
Aha, thank you. All your plugins for Temporal Flux are great! I'm just experimenting with editing enemy AI now. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions.
-
I've tinkered around with the Cathedral to try to learn what I can and can't do. I'm still learning what's possible to alter with Temporal Flux so I've got kind of a grab bag of questions.
1
How do I alter the "Found the secret Naga-ette bromide!" message? I see that the bromide is not treated as an item, and I can't find the message in any of the menus in the Strings window of Temporal Flux.
2
I think I see how to change what's in a chest: find it on the location editor, find the right chest, choose what's inside. Is it the same process to change the Power Tab to something else, or are tabs treated differently? (I couldn't find the room with the Guardia soldiers in Temporal Flux; it's not grouped with the rest of the Manoria maps).
3
What's going on with Attack 1 and Attack 2 in Hi-Tech? I wanted Gnashers to poison more consistently. I can adjust the % chance of poison on Gnasher Attack 2 no problem, but if I edit Gnasher Attack 1 to also apply poison I get unintended consequences--other monsters seem to call the same attack. I assume I also changed a lot of monster attacks by editing Gnasher Attack 2, but I didn't see evidence of it in the Cathedral.
I believe I can alter Gnasher's AI to just use Attack 2 if I want consistent poison, but I'm curious about what's going on with the attack editing.
4
Speaking of editing AI, shortening a monster's AI script shouldn't break anything, right? I lengthened Naga-ette's script and that didn't seem to matter since there's a dummy block of AI script after Naga-ette's block.
5
Is there any way to control who will be countered after a Double Tech? I got Naga-ette to counter Fire attacks but it seems to be random whether they hit Crono or Lucca when I Fire Whirl. I'd like some consistency if possible since it's the whole point of the Yakra fight.
6
Speaking of the Yakra fight, I tried to interpret his AI script for practice. Any corrections to make?

Edit: Clarified question 5 a little
-
1) If you go to a location and click events, the new tab will have all the actions and dialogue boxes for you to edit.
2) I'll use {013} Guardia Forest (1000 AD) as an example. In the events, look at object 29. You have the following:
Startup / Idle
- Choose graphics, position, properties.
- Check if the player grabbed it.
- Return and End to stop this section.
Activate
- Stop PC movement
- Set the item grabbed flag
- Hide the graphics
- Give the player an item
- Set the item index for the message
- Music
- Textbox
- Finish music
- Let PCs move
- Restore default music.
- No end condition, falls through to Touch.
Touch
- Return command, stops processing here.
Any item not in a chest is done through events.
3) There's a limited number of attack headers for enemies. Attack 1 is always header 0, attack 2 can be set in Fiendcrafter. Gnasher attack 2 probably changed the percentage on all enemy poison attacks.
4) Shortening is no issue. I believe the block immediately after the Naga-ette is one of the Lavos boss rush monsters, so you may run into issues there.
5) I don't believe so.
6) That looks right.
-
That's a big help, Mauron. Thank you!

Hello! I've had some success editing events, but I tried to add a basic NPC to the End of Time (Location 1D0, Packet 11B) and I've run into some problems. I think I understand that the End of Time is already crammed full of instructions, so my new Object made the section too big. Temporal Flux warns me that the packet exceeds 1700 when I try to Write Mem. I see that my new Object got addressed starting at [171A]; I also see that Object 00 gets addressed starting at [04A1].
1. Is there a way to add Objects to the 0000-03FF range? I can't seem to reorder Objects the same way I can reorder Commands within Objects by dragging and dropping. (Or am I not understanding what my problem really is here?)
2. Any tips for tile editing? I toyed around with adding some real estate to the End of Time but my attempts at, say, making a walkway to another platform by copying and pasting blocks of tiles looked deformed and unuseable. I had a little bit more success by working at the tile quadrant level to make things line up, but it still ends up looking pretty rough. Is it generally hard to edit maps this way, or am I bad at it?
If I did this right I attached my sample Nu NPC for reference.
-
- The 0000-0??? at the beginning is data on each object. You can't write to it directly, but it's in use.
- Reordering objects is a pain. You have to cut all the objects you want after the object, then adjust all commands that address an object manually. For right now don't worry about reordering objects, it won't help with the lack of space.
For tile editing, I find it helpful to work with one layer at a time. Layer 1 is the bottom layer, then layer 2 is drawn on top of it. Layer 3 is used for effects like clouds. I use explicit paste to choose what layer I'm working on.
Save the map often, since there isn't an undo. Location -> Write to Memory will update what you reload.
For the Nu NPC, [1722] should be an End instead of a Return.
For fancy trickery, You can delete the [1125] Return, since there's no touch code. It will jump straight to processing the [1126] Return.
-
Thank you Mauron, that's a good explanation. I'll try again with the title editing. I think I was doing L1 and L2 together so I'll try them separately.
-
Your advice about explicit paste was great. My map doesn't look like complete garbage!
I fear I'm getting outside the scope of the thread but I've been trying to learn more about items. Specifically I wonder if it's feasible to edit the status inflicted on a weapon? (For example, change 2x damage to Magic --> 2x damage to Undead.) I see there's a block 0C0262-0C0423 with 5 bytes for each weapon but it seems the data I'm looking for is somewhere else. Searching the offsets for "status", "effect", "weapon" don't seem to turn up anything relevant.
-
Weapon effect data starts at 0C2A05, and is three bytes each. The code for 2x damage to undead would be 03 04 80. There's an unused effect at 0C2A3B that can be replaced.
If you're using Itemizer, it will show up properly in the dropdown.
-
Ah, thank you! That's exciting. I've been able to edit the effect data and the changes come up in TF. I'm so impressed with Temporal Flux and your plugins.
-
Hello,
I'm having some trouble using a Byte Math, Value-to-Mem command in the event editor. I've built an NPC to increase the party's stats and I'm having trouble with HP, it being a two-byte value. I've attached a picture to show what I'm trying to do. At [0CBD] I can't seem to save the Value-to-Mem as a two-byte addition; it just reverts to one-byte. This means, for example, when I try to increase Crono's max HP by 20 from 495 --> 515 it rolls back down to 259 instead. Does Byte Math not support 2-byte operations like it appears to? Or is there some other way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
(Edit) I should explain that I'm loading Crono's Max HP, Power and Stamina into memory; incrementing HP by 0x14, Power by 3, and Stamina by 5; and finally writing the new stats back to Crono's stat block in the section below.
-
I remember having this discussion with IHBP a while back, but not the solution. :/
Can you subtract FFEC instead?
-
Aha, that seems to have done it! Thank you, Mauron.
-
For future reference, the amount to subtract is the bitwise not of the value + 1.
-
Hello, I'm at my wit's end with a problem I'm having. I've been adding events to build an NPC that will increase the party's stats and I've built an unholy stack of decision dialogue boxes and other conditional checks to manage it. Unfortunately, when I try to save it the tree collapses into a mess. It looks to me as though there's an extra command signaling the end of a conditional that isn't supposed to be there (but I can't see it in Temporal Flux).
I've attached two images to show what I'm talking about. I have a value-to-mem comparison at [0CF8] that collapses when I save and reload the event data. From that point on, the problem seems to cascade into more collapsed conditionals. (There may be another conditional collapsing later on but...one problem at a time).
Has anyone had a similar problem before? It would take me hours and hours to start over on this.
-
I haven't seen that before. What's the full event structure look like?
-
I'm not sure how much detail you're looking for so forgive me if my answer doesn't help. I'm working in Spekkio's room (location 1D1). I've made some minor edits to the original Spekkio events. Most of my additions are all one object, a Nu NPC with dialogue. After an introduction and explanation there's a big dialogue menu for the player to browse and trade for upgrades. I attached the full Activate section structure for my Nu in case it helps. The trouble section is starting at [CD1] with Crono's part of the menu which I showed exploded out a bit more in my last post.
Please let me know if you have more questions. I'd really appreciate any ideas. I can start with an older version that seemed to work and try to replicate what's going wrong when I have some more time.
-
I honestly don't what's going on there. Is it always that specific command that gives issues?
-
With my current build it always breaks at that command, yes. If I delete the problem command at [0CF8] then the conditional before it at [0CED] collapses instead, resulting in the same cascading problem. It's like there's an extra closing bracket got stuck in that place and isn't being cleaned up. (I have no idea what's going on under the hood so my speculation is probably not helpful.)
I've thought of a couple things to try in the last couple of days but I haven't had the time yet. Maybe I can still salvage this. Thanks for listening, at least. :cry:
-
What happens if you move the event structure into a different location's events? (Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V on the object label)
-
Oh neat, didn't know I could do that. If I copy the object to a different location after repairing the structure but before writing to memory, Temporal Flux shows the same repaired structure in the new location. Unfortunately, saving and reopening the new location shows the collapsed event structure.
-
Get me a Flux file, I'll try poking at it some.

But the evil mwa ha ha's stay. >:-}
~Z
-
Okay it's been a few months anybody else have any comments or requests?
I have finished the stuff on the list mostly and I have a few homework assignments along the way of the videos I'm going to be getting into further editing shortly...
Topics I plan to cover:
The adventurers tents including silver point system, adventurers points ranking system which can turn into higher rank automatically throughout various cutscenes of the game or various location events that utilize the need to upgrade them... This also means that the shops in the adventurers tent are upgradable throughout storyline pointers as well as a combination of adventure rank... The adventurers tent is at the tent in gato's exhibit. There is a full tutorial explaining this as well as...
Inside the adventurers tents-- a mysterious, hungry treasure box which wants very rare items to appease it's hunger!!! Bring items like sealofMaou(Magus) or cursedSword to appease the box's hunger and gain adventurer point rank. There is a tutorial on how to do this. (Unrealesed as of yet).
There will also be a...... Tutorial on random generated mini dungeons!!! Booyah!
Which is also inside with adventurers rank.
Another thing the item shop combining system in the prehistoric has been explained and we've made a templated copy in the future in the robotic factory as part of a tutorial so that you can make items!!!
Also making a few new dungeons are tutorials one of them is a side quest for Ayla searing Castle in which you have to save a little girl from hungry dinosaurs that are very powerful with fire 2 and flare magic spells!! Casting ice or water weakens them and makes the flame smolder!! Which lets you attack them!!
Then we go to the Cleft of dimensions which got merged into the black omen with floats above the World. Several timelines devoured by lavos have ended up including a world of other Cronos.
After this we make the final cutscene we're Crono decides to invite all of the energy of the entire world to defeat the alien entity and save all of humanity by casting that Tetra elemental strike upon lavos at the final moment at the final day and final hour in the most epic cutscene ever!
Then there will be it after party of the moonlight parade extended ending and how these play out based on how you made your cutscenes these are tutorials stay tuned!
Also if anybody has any requests keep in mind, over world stuff is hard (because we figured it out yet??)
Also as an additional tutorial which will be released before tutorial number two will be how I did custom icons such as having an icon for the gate key or a potion icon for the mega elixir etc.
Reply soon because the requests are closing!!

Man, video downloadhelper for Youtube really struggles with longer videos these days (the audio at the end is always cut off by a few seconds). I don't suppose you have the original video files of all these and could throw them on Mega? I will back them up on the Compendium if so.

yt-dlp (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2022.11.11) (or youtube-dl (https://youtube-dl.org/)) might be a better tool for grabbing internet videos if you're OK with CLI.
You can select a source quality if you don't want best/biggest, but for re-encoding (assuming video downloadhelper for Youtube does that) you'll need ffmpeg/...
-
You can use a GUI (https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/) for Youtube-dl if you like.

Thanks; that worked. I'll plug the backup in the forthcoming update.

ANYWAYS:

ANY OTHER REQUESTS for (TEMPORALFLUX tutorials??)

On a personal note completely unrelated to this thread, I had no idea you were up there, Z! I lived in ND for years. I've been away for a while, but it'll always be home to me. Hang in there!
