ParticipantOf course I am using custom stats! Jia Xu originally in mine is a 120/245/170 and shows up in Xu Zhe's spot. I've made him slightly better upon his return… and tweeked Li Ru a little. And boosted Hua's strength to give him some early game.

ParticipantWell, managed to corrupt my main file while working on text changes. Any suggestions why that likely happened? Luckily, I didn't get too awfully far. I can download again from here, make my officer changes… and start again. I'll try to keep better backups this time.

KeymasterYea, definitely keep backups. Especially i you made Editor changes, backup right after that. One thing that triggers a crash for me is sometimes if the line splits aren't right (too long and they overflow and sometimes the following text / event blows the game up). It's peculiar that it happened when you are so early in the editing process. I was always paranoid towards Wu and Wei when a lot of the text had been edited, and had the idea that it was possible that I was running out of characters or making the script more likely to crash in some way.
re: DragonAtma. Don't fuck with my smilies!!! :crybaby: Anyway I don't really see the smilie that you are talking about as I peruse the list.

ModeratorCabalpapa, sorry DoaTed killed your rom :( Do you still have a copy of that borked rom? If I could take a look at it, I might be able to figure out what's wrong and potentially fix it (or at least fix DoaTed so it won't do that). You can email it to my username at hotmail dot com.

ParticipantWell, Niahak, I got rid of the corrupted file already. I'm sorry. There wasn't much work lost, about an hour or so of work. It corrupted the file so badly that neither the Text editor or the regular editor would even open the ROM, nor would Nestopia.
What I am doing now is editing a copied version. After a few changes, I am saving them, and if they are successful, I am changing it over to the new ROM. Its a bit of a tedious process, but I am being cautious. I want to make it good. Sigh, I already have the Yuan Shao mod to compete with, lol… Mine seems much harder though… I'm blowing right through his.

KeymasterHaha, well I wouldn't worry about comparing your mod or how you mod to anyone else's. There are already a lot of mods out there (in my opinion at least. Hell, we have a Jin Xuan mod of all things..albeit incomplete). We're all going to have our own style with our mods, based on what we value in the game (story, difficulty, etc). What you are probably seeing is that changing all the necessary things is a lot of work / time, which is why I suggest using FCE-Ultra so you can play at ultra-speedup and can finish the game in a day or two during beta runs (especially useful when updating the first few sections and you can burn through to test battles or see how text looks, etc).

ModeratorI was referring to the smiley:
:P
It is caused by this combo:

Considering that you couldn';t even locate it, it desperately needs an upgrade.

KeymasterNo I see it now I just didn't know what you were talking about.

ParticipantWell folks, I'm still chugging along on some text changes. Working slowly due to having things to do here and being cautious about the text changes not corrupting the file. I've made the officer changes, so that really changes parts of the game already and perhaps I should send LYS the updates. I'd like to hear any more feedback from late in the game, and then if some of the changes make the early parts of the game any more impossible. I think it should be ok, and perhaps even more challenging/fun. I haven't tested much of the early game as of yet as I have been trying to work on text with the small amount of time that I've had. I will get to it very soon.
Not seeing Lu Bu until Wu attacks will be interesting… Hua Xiong gets to shine as the bruiser… Of course, I could make Fan Chou level, too. With his 220 Str, that would allow for another reliable bruiser.

ModeratorHey cabalpapa, have you tried feidian yet? If you like I can send you the original d1 and d2 bmps then you can send me back your modified ones and the rom and I can load them in for you with feidian.
July 13, 2010 at 3:15 pm #37490Lord Yuan Shu
KeymasterCool bro. Keep at it; there is so much text to alter it definitely takes a while. Then there is checking the text in the game to make sure the lines don't go too long, etc. But the testers can help with that too.
Saving Lu Bu until later is a nice treat. Dong Zhuo has decent Lu Bu-lite characters (like you say, especially Hua Xiong but also Fan Chou). I'm a big Fan Chou fan, so if you gave him soldier-ups and the Zhang Fei or Guan Yu soldier count, he'd be set.

ParticipantI haven't gotten much into the portrait changing at all, except for obvious ones from the editor. LYS, is there a general rule on how many characters fit into a line using the text editor? I've been keeping most of them short.
I'd still love to know what why I corrupted the previous file.
July 13, 2010 at 9:27 pm #37492cabalpapa
ParticipantI am almost through Chapter 2 for text editing. So far no corrupted files. My current method is working. I've also made some substantial changes to the version that is posted on here. LYS, I will probably email you a new file this evening that hosts a variety of officer changes, as discussed in this thread. Along with what text changes I have made thus far. I'm decently happy with some changes. Ma Yuan Yi now has a pretty hilarious quote after you beat him. Wang Yun has a family member as an NPC in the game. I'll get a lot of the text done this week.

KeymasterCool man, sounds good. Looking forward to it, just send it to me and I'll upload the newest version.

ModeratorI didn't find any rules on how long a 'line' can be. I think some of them are quite long, actually – as long as you don't exceed the total character limit, I don't see why you couldn't have as long a line as you wanted.
