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.

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.

:)

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?

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.

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.
