Chrono Trigger Modification / Re: Sprite Assembly
« on: June 17, 2006, 03:06:05 am »
This might be considered double posting, but...
Yaaaaaargh! I wasted several hours trying to modify the 1000 AD soldier because it would seem that the byte that is supposedly sprite assembly in the sprite data is actually starting animation and vica versa! So for several hours, I was studying the sprite assembly of some other sprite!

He's 14, according to his profile.
Oh, and this is the first use of this subforum I've seen, besides ZeaLITY's topic introducing it.

I can combine XX 40 which reverses a tile with XX 0Y to load a tile from a later group of 256 tiles with XX 4Y.

The main use of modifying sprite assembly would be forming new sprites that don't have to fit in the space shapes as the old one. For example, the CTCE team has trouble replacing Frog with Glenn because Frog is so small. Modifying the sprite assembly could solve that problem
I think I now know how to load tiles beyond 0xFF of the sprite graphics.
The sprite assembly hex XX 01 loads a tile from the second set of 256 tiles.

« on: June 15, 2006, 05:33:59 pm »It seems to be a great news! Though I have no idea what and where those 00 00 are meant to be00 00 is a loading of a single tile, the first tile of Crono's sprites, and that tile is blank. The 00 00 is at the start of the sprite assembly data for Crono. I haven't really checked others yet.
Edit- I currently have no idea how to reach graphics lower down, such as Crono kneeling down.

Some of my work was inspired by some posts from the old ACMLM forum, where Temporal Flux was released

Just telling that I can't quite grasp those eight bytes of sprite assembly data.I should note that in the actual data, the order for Crono's left foot is 30 40.
I can however tell you that the sprite, assuming Crono's idle forward anim, is split up in 16x16 blocks and each of the eight bytes controls a block's relative position. Seems rather negative too.
The 32 tile bytes are simply flag/tile combos. 4030 for Crono's left foot for example, flipped from 0030, his right foot.

I think I may understand the sprite assembly data.
00 00 for example, loads tile 00, which in Chrono's sprites is the blank tile marked 00 in the attached image. 01 00 loads Crono's left (from his perspective) side of his hair. 10 00 loads the right side of his face. 11 00 loads the other side of his face, marked 11. Hopefully this is enough to establish in your mind the pattern of what tiles are loaded with what hex. The last 8 bytes of sprite assembly are divided into four groups of two, each group determining the X and Y position of (presumedly) four loaded tiles.
Revision Edit-The first 16 bytes load 8 tiles. In groups of 2, these are the the first rows of each four-tile group. The next 16 bytes are much the same, except they load the second row of their group.
The first four bytes load up the top two tiles for group 1, the next four bytes load up for group 2, and so on.

The only ones of those games that I know the music of are Chrono Trigger Prerelease and Radical Dreamers. Some songs I like:

Chrono Trigger Modification / Re: Chinese Translation -- Help me please!
« on: June 14, 2006, 10:02:44 pm »
You'd need to put all the Chinese character symbols into the game, and I'm not sure if the game can use enough symbols. The creator of Chronotools said that the game only uses 728 different symbols by default.

The places the RD pointers point to are two bytes before the SPC data that is also in the SPC dump. I think those two bytes before the RD SPC data are that two-byte header.
Edit-Just a note, the first few versions of my list had some errors, such as incorrec titles or addresses.

One thing I observed while looking for the Radical Dreamers SPCs:
The SPC data in a dumped SPC cuts off the two-byte header.

One of the meanings of Magus' Japanese name is equivalent to Satan. His name isn't actually Satan, it's Maou.

The FFVI offsets guide is still headered; I think the offsets guide you DID update was the Chrono Trigger one.

Well, most of the text in Chrono Trigger isn't in ASCII format.
