Howdy ho! I've been writing a tutorial for PC sprite insertion and used an old design I had from a dream splash circa 2017-2018. Anyway, this is my first successful PC sprite insertion and I'm looking for beta testers to test Lucca out. If you're bored, give her a go and report any bugs here! Or you know, just have fun with a slightly different looking Lucca in your game!
(Attach .ips to an unheadered CT Rom).
Feel free to use her, just credit me :)
Expect PC sprite insertion tutorial in kajar labs eveeeentuaaalllyyyyy.
And the entire compendium weeped because i just gave Lucca new clothes and didn't put Schala in.

Will totally
steal use with credit for the hack I'll probably never make.
Edit: BTW, have you considered a matching portrait?
-
Feel free to
steal!
OOo the matching portrait would be very nice! I'll have to put that in!
-
I take it this is based from her appearance in the last anime cutscene, when she finds Kid, no?
Still, that's neat.

Yep, very based off of the ending cutscene! I was going to make a little rom hack involving her finding Kid in the woods! - Still might one day, who knows! Thanks!
Update:
I will be putting up a new patch with bug fixes for Lucca running left and right involving her hair doing funky things, as well as changing her portrait, overworld sprite, and face icon. :)
-
Tested this. It doesn't seem to have any conflicts with my hack.
-
Excellent!
-
Chrono Cross style looks great!
-
Is this being worked on still? Looks really cool, was hoping to patch this into my rom to make replaying the game again a bit more interesting.

Thank you! :D

It is! I've been fixing up some minor glitches involving Lucca's hair and I am inserting a new portrait, overworld sprite, and face icon. Finding a portrait that doesn't look like garbage once I shrink it down has been the real challenge!
I could just make my own portrait but im bad at face portraits
-
What about this one?

Crop the image so it's just her head. Maybe darken the image a little so the color palette better matches the rest of the Chrono Trigger cast of characters?
-
Double post. I adjusted the saturation a little and tried to make it a little less crisp to better match the official art from 1995.
Her hair is lighter in the spritework, so not sure how much would need to be tweaked.
-
AHHH! Thank you Boo! That should be perfect! I'll see what I can do, mwahaha
-
If this does work, we'll want to confirm with the art owner that we can use it, since it isn't official art and I don't want to be "that guy" that stole someone's hard work.
:)
I don't mind being the one to reach out, though.
EDIT: I have the author (https://twitter.com/hosoyoh/status/1300798574586859520) but no Twitter handle. I think I found an email and have sent him/her an email.
EDIT 2: I reached out to hosoyoh via email and already got a response.
Dear <Boo the Gentleman Caller>,
Thank you for contacting me.
If you want to post my fanart with credits, that's fine.
Thank you very much.
hosoyoh
So we are clear to use that art if we want, we just need to credit hosoyoh in the readme file in the package.

Hmmm which portrait/hair color should I go with? (I realize these are very tiny, apologies)
I think I like the darker hair better for the portrait, but I'm debating making the sprite match. Maybe if I do make the lucca sprite's hair more purple, but less vibrant than the one I currently have on the right?
-
Well, for what it's worth, I like the left portrait and the right sprite!
-
Left top image, (color is more like Lucca's natural hair color)... and Bottom Right... for some reason, they match up real nice. In my opinion.
~Z
-
Eyy! That's two votes for top left image and bottom right sprite, so that's what I'll go with!
Thanks everyone! :D
-
Oh nice. I haven't checked up on this in a long time.
Top Left and Bottom Right look great. Is there a patch for this anywhere I can download? :)
-
I like it too, is there any update?
Thank you :D
-
I have been SUPER lazy and forgot about this! I will post an update with a new patch!
Should include new portrait amongst other tiny details! Stay tuned!
-

It's not like any of us has real lives outside of the Compendium! :D
-
Totally unsolicited, so no worries if you don't like it, but what do you think of this for the portrait? I was trying to bring it a little more in line with the existing portraits. Whether I succeeded or not is debatable.
-
It's probably going to take me another 3 weeks to update the Compendium, so I'll monitor in case the patch gets finished before then (I'll definitely include it in the update). Amazing work!

Ahh Reld I love that!!!! I think I'll use it! - Im going to take advantage of the holiday break and get the portrait and other minor details in >:D
-
Still slogging away at this, hope to get her done by April. I might have added some...extra stuff :)
-
Still interested. :D
-
I know I'm late to the party. Just wanted to say, absolutely bomb work. That looks fantastic.
-
Freakin' cool!
Looking forward to it!

-
I swear I haven't abandoned this! Just gotta find time to add some finishing touches and I'll have a nice big ol' update for you all!
-
By the way this is super f****** impressive!! 😜
I really think if you took all of your data's of this hack and combined it with the original you could have chat GPT help you minimize the amount of sprite data is needed and compacted so that you could have both helmet-less LUCCA and none the same goes for FROG as well!
Simply start playing around with the values that you know that you changed and what is needed and spreadsheet combinations in comparison to the original and follow my chat GPT Post in the main thread:
https://www.chronocompendium.com/Forums/index.php?topic=14253.0
I totally think we can get hacking faster and done quicker than these days doing this and we can probably scour for the rest of the variable soon!
