Don’t suck Apple into this… :eek:
They don’t go around destroying the hopes and dreams of children.
Well, to be fair, they do tend to destroy their own dreams more thjan other peoples’ dreams (see http://satirewire.com/news/0111/microsoft_settlement.shtml). But Trip "Mephistopheles" Hawkins *DID* work for Apple before creating EA, and there are definitely times I feel like poking Apple in the i…
Unfortunately, it’s still not installed. Therefore, I decided to blow off some steam… http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Arts

You know, you probably should have each general’s page show the data byte associated with their hex number — that’d make battle editing easier, especially for alternate force edits where you move a whole bunch of people around.
For the time being, all the information is here.
It is a good idea, though! :)
Yarrrr, and it’s in me "which landlubbers appear where" file, but me memory’s not 100%…

If anyone cares, the Jin Xuan mod has a whopping 58 officers replaced by new (e.g. Kong Rong) or moved (e.g. Jin Xuan) generals.
Unfortunately, I have no quick fixes. For making the pictures, I use MS Paint. For putting it in the rom, I use TLP and put them in pixel by pixel. Yes, it’s slow, but we have no choice…
And in the background, I use Chara Mucker ’99 (a tile editor made for RPG Maker programs) with that oh-so-useful grid activated (set to 8×8 pixels, of course) that matches the tiles oin TLP.
Hey, I did some work on it! I added two new officer pictures — all that remains is adding one picture for a generic officer and updating the pictures for three unique officers.
Xu Zhu and Zhang Fei assure you that having better pictures is a definite plus!
They soooooo need to update it more often. They may have rules against updating it, but screw the rules, I have Lu Bu! >_>
I probably should apologize for the lack of updates. I’m sorry! Atma has a lot to deal with in life!
But don’t worry — the mod is not dead. Chained to the wall, perhaps, but not dead.
Aaaand Zeromus becomes the Drain Sword’s final victim. He never even got Cecil below 64xx/90xx HP! It was funny watching his Meteo miss almost every time.
With three exceptions (Kainazzo, Valvalis, and the @^$#$@#*^@&^ing TrapDoors), FF2 was noticably easier with solo Cecil in the back row.
And no, I didn’t bother to get most of the final equipment.
Aegis Shield didn’t stop Disrupt, unfortunately. It did, however, weaken attacks form some other monsters.
And thanks to the Drain Sword, I had no trouble, except for a few monsters (such as TrapDoors and Molbols). When enemies smack me for 1 damage and I smack them to absorb 500 HP, those floors aren’t a threat! XD
Unfortunately, even though I saw Yang, I didn’t return to see Yang’s Wife until after I blew up the giant. And Asura healed herself fast enough that battle against her were useless wastes of time (unless she eventually runs out of HP).
IIRC I was level 78 by the time I reached it, so I had no problem. It’s like the battle with TrapDoors, except he had more HP but needed several turns to unleash his deadly Crush attack.
Something like half the TrapDoors required a reset (due to not getting two attacks in before the fatal Disrupt), but that "boss" died on my first attempt.
