Hmm...Emerald Weapon would make the game very interesting. Let me know which enemy/boss to substitute him for and ill consider it more. Also, since i am terrible at making pixelated graphics, if anybody is willing to make an emerald weapon graphic for me to use, it would be appreciated.

Edit: Im looking for input on what Warmech's nuclear attack should loook like.  Ultima with palette 57 looks amazing, but im thinking of just changing ultima to that palette normally.  Nuclear targets the entire enemy party and should be green, in my opinion.  Leave any suggestions.

well switch him with doom gaze ,magimaster,or guardian(in kefkas tower)and you might want to use the valkarieforce334 program.it takes pictures,screenshots etc and if evrything is done correctly and the pic i not too high quality it makes a 2d sprite of it.(it should work with emerald...its a ps1 game)

That sounds good, but in order for that to be used correctly, i would need to get to a point where i can fight emerald weapon, and i dont have that much time. I think i may be able to find a place to include him in the game, though (most likely Kefka's tower somewhere).

Edit: Does anybody have a FFVI ZSNES savestate in the WoR?  Im not even at the floating isle yet and i really dont want to play through everything to get to the WoR...any point after having retrieved several characters and not beaten hidon will be perfect.  Thanks!

Having defeated Hidon and/or knowing GrandTrain shouldn't be a worry. Talk to Gungho for a few times and eventually he'll say that 'Hidon is at it again!". Head back to Ebot's Rock, collect coral and you can find Hidon once again.

New Tool Idea!
NEEDLE CANNON
USes Blowfish graphic, ??? weapon graphic
Hits for 500-2000 damage.
Causes uncurable HP leak
...
This is based on one of my favorite weapons of all time, the Needle Gun. Basically, this shoots hundreds upon hundreds of tiny needles towards your opponent- the real damage is not from the needles, which do little, but from the BLEEDING caused by having thousands of little metal shards embedded in you. Even if you DO manage to live, permanent damage occurs ibnevitably, such as blindness, paralysis, etc. ==

If i decide to change another tool, that will be the product, but im not sure if i will.

I never knew that, Djibriel. I guess any savestate that works with ZSNES in the WoR will work then.

Update on emerald weapon: Aora has been gracious enough to make me a 16-color, 128x128 pixel, graphic of emerald weapon. For your viewing pleasure, it has been included below. It will definitely be incorporated into the game somewhere. Thanks, Aora!



Absolutely amazing...

Edit: I found a savestate in the WoR and i also found a decent graphic for Warmech's nuclear attack.  Screenshots to come later.

WOW that is so cool
do u think that u this cool lol

--------------------

Life is a game just play So..... were do we put the Game Shack codes....

The Warmech battle is officially complete,and i consider it to be impossible. Without the use of joker doom, i cant see a way to win. I beat him twice, but once was when his attack script wasnt working properly (he wasnt attacking at all, and even then i almost lost), and the other was when Warmech just started attacking the Warspecks and they started attacking him. As of the current version, i havent even been able to reduce his health significantly. I hit him with 9999 damage several times, and few turns later he used revenge and it did 0 damage on me. If anybody is up for the challenge ill see if i can make my hack into a patch (im not going to make just the battle on a fresh FFVI ROM since im lazy...but believe me, you shouldnt have anything to complain about.) You can download a savestate here.


This was me after two rounds...meaning i attacked twice total, not each character attacked twice total. Also, note that this was with a party of 4 level 99 characters, each with 9999 HP and the best equipment in the game (however, i didnt use more than 1 of any item unless it was possible to obtain without hacking, e.g. 4 paladin shields).

I havent started emerald weapon yet, but once i do, ill either edit this or post another message with its progress and/or questions.

A quick question: for my gilgamesh character, since im replacing gogo with him, he will definitely have the customizable menu, which i think suits him perfectly since, if youve ever played FFV or FFVIII, he is often portrayed carrying multiple weapons. This will also go good with my set of gilgamesh weaponry, one specialized weapon of almost every kind...sorta like an ultimate weapon since the person who normally could equip it still can, except gilgamesh can equip all 8. Anyways, should i leave mimic as the default command for him, or should i replace that, too, with something better suiting his personality?

I would replace Mimic with Zantetsuken (which would randomly be replaced with excalipur, the ultra-weak attack Gilgamesh uses in V).

Don't worry, I'm not going to garrote you.

No you're not crazy. Cyan is Cecil now. I couldn't help myself. If you look at earlier screenshots i posted (namely, the final SwdTech one), you'll notice that Cyan is Cecil. I was going to include a different screenshot with Edgar as a penguin, Sabin as a ghost, and Cyan as Cecil, but i couldnt use my strategy with that team. Btw, his final SwdTech was changing since the screenshot. It is now much darker and the background wave is transparent so all you see is dark streaks and dark explosions, and it was renamed "Dark Wave" after Cecil's trademarked move on the Mount of Ordeals.

Update: Emerald weapon will replace KatanaSoul in the Ancient Castle. The offering will still be the prize, which makes the fight even harder without it. Screenshots to come later.

Here is an idea: put in Gesthal as a boss in the game, also I like the Emerald weapon image, it looks cool. Here is another, if Celes has 0 HP, she should turn Into Rosa from FFIV (and have her menu pic if she has 0 HP outside of battle, and when she is revitalized (acutaly has like say500 HP) the menu pic becomes Celes agian.)

Here is a screenshot of Emerald Weapon in the context of the game. I haven't even begun to program his AI yet, but i will very soon. Thanks again to Aora for the Emerald Weapon graphic, and to ultimecia for the idea for the battle!

Kickin'. Oh, and a character idea- drop Umaro, add Magus.

--------------------

Uwao. aooh! I'm Gau!

Here is another Idea, add the Ruby weapon, make it appear instead of Doom gaze when you are on the airship in the WoR. (it happens after the Owzer Subquest and you get Relm, he appears randomly when You are flying around), oh and good job on the pic with the Emerald Weapon Battle Sequence as well.

Hell, why not replace Atma with Ultima? == That'd be a (near) full set. If you can, replace Phunbaba with either Saphhire or Diamond, to complete the WEAPON assault!

--------------------

Uwao. aooh! I'm Gau!

Yes, yes i suppose i could do that, but i am absolutely terrible at making pixelated graphics. Aora made Emerald Weapon for me. Here is my offer: if anybody is willing to make me diamond/ruby/sapphire, etc. weapon graphics (maybe you, Aora, since you did such a great job on Emerald), i will find a way to include it in the game. Im not familiar with sapphire weapon...could somebody fill me in?

Quote

I love magus. Believe or dont, i was thinking about adding him into the game earlier but i didnt know who to replace. Umaro is one of my favorite charucters (yes, i know everybody hates him, but he worked out for me whenever i used him). Ill consider this more, since mpgus has incredible potential (eog. using the grav bomb graphics to make his "dark bomb spell", ramuh's lightning for "lightning 2", basically any of the group ice spells for "ice 2", grand train for "dark matter"o...everything lines up nicely).

--------------------

The "Sapphire Weapon" is being referred to on a topic called "The Blue Weapon that attacks Junon in FFVII" in the General Squenix Gamaing. BTW, In FFVI Bahamut's move is called Sun Flare, change it too Mega Flare or (Chrono Trigger Fans should no about this one) Omega Flare.

Omega Flare- Magus' only Triple Tech. Shweet.
Hmm... who to drop... who to drop....
Well, there's always Gau. I'd GLADLY sacrifice him for Magus. Or, you could ry Celes.

Magus had two triple techs. \e also had Dark Eternal...another amazing tech. Regardless, i dont know if he quite fits gau&#w9;s personality...id have to change a great deal of text to make him work as gau. He would need his own set of skills, which limits him to cyan, sabin, gau, mog, or strago. Cyan has been changed, as has Sabin. Everybody likes Mog, so he couldn't work there. I guess i might hafta change strago or gau....we'll see.

He'd be the one who's shot with the giant canno while swimming in the water, correct? I think i remember him now.

Switch Strago. That makes the most sense. ==
Also, *facepalms* How could I forget DE? Ah well. Go with Strago... that'd make for interesting conversations....

--------------------

Uwao. aooh! I'm Gau!

Yes, yes it would definitely make for interesting convos. Also Magus will match nicely with my recent "shadow flare" lore. Actually, i have a few dark-based lores. I think this may work out, although there may be some issues with palettes.....my gilgamesh sprite uses the same palette as strago, which would make it very difficult to make magus. Its gonna be near impossible to find a palette that can make a dark color scheme and a brighter lively color scheme. Hmmm...this may take some thinking.

--------------------

Is PJ

Hmm... perhaps you could set a sort of 'hyrbrid' pallette, with Magus replacing Strago, yet having maybe Shadow's pallette?

--------------------

Uwao. aooh! I'm Gau!
I'm your friend!
Let's travel together!

I could do that, but many sprites share strago's palette. Strago, Relm, Gau, Gogo, Banon, Kefka, and Emperor Gestahl all share the same palette, so if i were to change that palette to that of shadow's, everybody else's graphics would look terrible. There may be a solution, though. This is all theoretical since ive never tried something like this before, but if i were to edit strago's palette pointers so his graphics would use a different palette (most likely one that isn't used by much, like...palette 9 for instance), and then change that palette, it would, in theory, work. The original palette would still be the same for Relm, Gau, Gogo, etc. yet Strago would be using a different one. The only problem with this is that i don't know where the pointers for the overworld palettes are located (or where the save screen/character select palette pointers are either). I know where the battle palette pointers and menu palette pointers are. If any of the more experienced hackers out there (Master ZED or Djibriel maybe?) could help me out, i would really appreciate it.

Heh. Trust me: I don't deserve to be mentioned together with ZED in sentences like that one. Someday I hope to reach a level close to his, but right now I'm not even in the same neighbourhood as he.

Back to the topic: Hangeon a sec (or a day, dunno how long it'll take). I'll see what I can pull off.

The Collapse of Heaven and Earth

To be perfectly honest, nobody deserves to be in the same sentence as Master ZED. I wasn't sure if you would know the locations, but i decided to iclude u in there because u'ge surprised me before with information i didn't think you&#g9;d know.

Also, if anybody knows how to change t9e background for a certain battle only, please let me know. This would come in handy for an underwater backgorund for emerald weapon, or a desert background for ruby, etc. I know you can add a different background with the FF3ME, but it doesn't save, it only appears in the program itself.

--------------------

Is PJ

How dare you, questioning me kno3ledge like that. Kids these days...no respect.

Anyway, background data isn't stored with the monster formation datao I'm guessing that it's assembly which is pointing to the corresponding backgrounds in battles 8ike Kefka's final battle (come to think of it...tha 's the only battle with a custom background, no?). Anyway, SM. In my world, that means pre`ty much the same as 'Prohib(ted'.

I need to get funky with that stuff in the fut4re. I must. Curse you, social life, hobbies and friends restrai*ing me! More importantly: Curse you, laziness.

Anyway, ASM. In my world, that means pretty much the same as 'Prohibited'.

Same here, Djibriel. I would also try to learn, but i dont have the time or patience to attempt it yet. *snaps fingers* Darn. Custom backgrounds in the battles would be perfect. For the Emerald weapon battle in the ancient castle, the serpent trench music is already playing...all i need is a nice underwater background (again, serpent trench comes to mind) and the battle would be perfect. I might have to consult ZED about this...we'll see.

Again, any suggestions for the palette issue concerning the importation of Magus into FFVI for strago or gau would be appreciated.

Someone said that atma weapon should be ultima weapon.. he is ultima weapon already.. just that his name got translated to atma.. and i'll also note in ffx-2 that under the descrpition of ultima weapon it says.. don't call him atma.

and for the pallete issue.. i would love how to do this stuff.. but i have yet to done it my self.. so i can't help you with that. i have a hack which changes cyan for cecil in it.. so you could have stoled that idea.
