| Not me, Now I can't even fight Lavos anymore because the Dragon Tank doesn't show up anymore. I never touched that area! | |||

| I'm in the process of transferring my changes from one rom to another. I believe my original was corrupt from the get-go through a few screwups and whatnot. I'll be done soon, as I do plan on creating a thread for the project once I finally iron out the plot. | |||

| Not me, Now I can't even fight Lavos anymore because the Dragon Tank doesn't show up anymore. I never touched that area! If you edited that ROM with v1.03 or earlier, you may need to just throw it out. While v1.04 will no longer create bad map packets, I do not think it can fix them either. Its also noteworthy that most of the bosses Lavos emulates show up in a completely different Location than the one you initially fought them in. And the code to go to them is stored in the Lavos fight. ---Evil Peer |

| Yeah, Crono's room just corrupted itself. However, I believe I can remember every step. I'm going to try and reproduce exactly what I did now. Edit: Success. Got a red screen in Crono's room. ~ Step 1: Open TF, load 4.0 mb CT Rom (downloaded from ROMNation for experimental purposes) Step 2: Change all strings in 'Years' except ?????? by +2 (for B.C., subtract 2) Step 3: Save Step 4: Add two new items beneath 2 Feathers; 232: Get-Well C 233: Pie Step 5: Save Step 6: Add these descriptions in Item Descriptions; E8: Get well soon!{null} E9: Freshly made pie{null} Step 7: Save Step 8: Paste the following Strings in Index Dialogue (0x1EE300) 01: ... Badger the piano player, and you will face serious consequences.{null} 05: Travelers? What is your business? Do not loiter in Porre, or you will be severely fined.{null} 06: Do business in front of the counter. Do not make me repeat myself.{null} 1B: OFFICER: This is the central barracks of the Porre army. Direct inquiries to me.{line break} Where's the mayor?{line break} Why martial law?{null} 1C: The position of mayor and elder was nullified one year ago. The citizens of Porre no longer require a civil leader as their ancestors did in the past.{null} 1D: The increase of civil violence and discontent at the old system have caused the people of Porre to look to us, who can provide a stable order.{null} 21: I like swords.{delay 05} What? Sorry, daydreaming. Buzz off.{null} 22: Bleah, this potato slop ain't so great, kid. I'd just as fast eat leather!{null} 23: Sheesh, I'm tired. First break all day, so pipe down and let me eat.{null} 24: What? Just because I'm a chef doesn't mean I can't trash ya!{null} 25: April 16th, A.D. 1002 The stars are especially clear, and I have had the pleasure of observing{page break} a comet dash across the night sky. I think of home in times like this - Of my smiling parents, and Norris, my kid brother. Judging from the{page break} state of world affairs, I pray he does not follow my path, and enlist. If he does, however, I'm sure he will make a fine leader.{page break} A disturbance has been reported near the forest. Good night. -o- W.I. -o-{null} 26: I cannot speak to you, as I am on duty. Just don't touch anything.{null} 27: Oh, hello! I'm William Ishito. I must have dozed off. These barracks are not conducive to reading, eh?{page break} Hmm...I do believe I am tired, however. I will resume my nap, as I have the night shift. Do stop by sometime. I would hugely enjoy{page break} a chat with you fellows! Farewell. Oh, and I've misplaced a jewel of mine near the food stocks. If you find it, you can have it.{null} 2A: What are you looking at, punk? You got a problem? Wanna solve it? Get out of here, now!!{null} 2B: C-can't take it anymore... My sons...all drafted...{null} 2C: Fiona's Forest may have been saved 400 years ago, but if Porre keeps up this crazy logging, it may have been a futile effort...{null} 2E: I'm the piano man{note}{line break} I need a relaxing tune.{line break} Yeeeah! Get crunk!!{null} Step 9: Save Step 10: Paste the following Strings in Index Dialogue (0x370000) 00: Hey bud. I'm from Choras, with the pilgrims. Hard work, guarding! Har-har! {null} 01: 4/15/02 Today was pretty boring...but tomorrow, I have to go to a{page break} meeting with Marle and Lucca. It's tough being the top knight, but worth it, I guess. {page break} It's the negative 997th anniversary of defeating Lavos, as well...I'd much rather face him again than deal with polticians, but if it's for the safety of{page break} Guardia, I'll do it.{delay 03} Lucca wants to start an orphanage... Makes me think about kids of my own. Guess I'd be Uncle Crono to whoever{page break} she took in. Nice ring to it! Lucca says 03: {line break} Got a Pie, Red Katana, and Card!{null} 05: {Crono}...{full break} {Crono}!{full break} C'mon, {Crono}!{null} 06: {Marle}: Did you already forget?{line break} Today's a big day!{null} 07: {Marle}: Hear that?

You{line break} an hour, son!{null} 0C: MOM: Run along now, and be back{line break} soon! See me when you're ready to{line break} go to Guardia Castle.{null} 44: Crono and Nadia make a nice couple! Here's to the future King Guardia the XXXIV, the hero himself!{full break} I just hope his reign is not tainted by all that trouble brewing in South Zenan...{null} 45: I'm glad the cathedral was restored after the Millennial Fair.{full break} Pilgrims from Choras often visit.{null} 4B: Been to Porre lately?{line break} Yes.{line break} No.{null} 4C: They seem to have it out for people from Truce...be careful!{null} 4D: Boy, has it changed!! Armed guards patrol the streets, coldly watching you...creepy!{null} 4E: Wanna hear some music?{line break} Sure.{line break} Sorry.{null} 4F: Have you been to the Vanguard Post, near the Cathedral? Yes.{line break} No.{null} 50: No? You need to get out more often.{null} 51: Those guys kick butt, eh? Sworn to protect the throne...{null} 53: Thanks! I'll play you a new song!{null} 54: All right, later.{null} 55: Bah, Cook and clean... Oh! Well come on in...!

| I suggest looking at these issues NOW as my ROM has been trashed by these mysterious problems! 1) I do not have access to the code right now. 2) I will not have time to look at it until next week. 3) I never made a guarantee of any sort. 4) You should have made a backup. 5) I do this for free. (And before you mention donations, thus far I have not received one) 6) I do not kowtow. 7) If you do not care for my program, do not use it. So, in short, your demand has been given the full gravity it deserves and is being duly ignored.  I will look at these issues sometime during the next week. ---Evil Peer |

| Yeah, and it isn't that hard to find and download a new rom. Plus, I've succeeded in my goal of exactly mapping out the steps to corrupting Crono's room, a method that doesn't seem dangerous. My hope is in the heavy usage of Write to memory. I am, however, going to wait for an examination before I work further, as Backups any more work on the project may be nullified if this is a progressive corruption that perhaps mathematically increases with more edits to the rom. |

| Lol, welcome to the world of betatesting. EP, did you have secret beta testers before you released it, or are these the first victims. (I really need to hack this game, wish I had time.) | |||

| did you have secret beta testers before you released it I had two beta-testers throughout the majority of the year's development. There were probably close to 150 point releases (maybe even 200). This thing has been pretty thoroughly tested, but apparently there are a few special case scenarios we were not quite able to hit. 11:02 EST Spekkio, the change you described does produce an error, but does not corrupt the ROM. Go to file offset 0x3614C4 and change the value 0x3F there to 0x80. There are two bugs at work here, value truncation and unauthorized writing to memory. The first has already been fixed, but I still need to figure out why the second is happening (I never told the Location to update its data, but it did anyway). For future reference, I will not investigate any bugs unless the appropriate packet identification is given (for example, the Location here is 17B; the event packet is 013). I do not have the time to search 512+ items to find an error. 15:17 EST I have resolved the previously mentioned issues. Zeality, you are getting a red room because you do not terminate the new object's event command. You need to stick a return in there. Once you do, the map will come up. Sort of. There is still some packet corruption going on here. My best guess is one new packet is overwriting the end of another or something. I am still investigating. But to reproduce this error, you need merely edit the map starting from "step 24" through to the end (and add a return to the new object's activate command). ---Evil Peer (edited by Evil Peer on 12-13-04 03:26 PM) |

| (old link) Another bugfix release. v1.05 A further note while I am at it. Only a few string banks are expandable (and even those not by much). So, while you can edit any particular string and make it quite long, the overall space taken by all of the strings in that bank will not change. Meaning the last few strings will be truncated in favor of not overwriting adjoining data. Keep this in mind before you start writing something like long journal entries. I know of a means of (nigh) infinitely expanding strings, but I have not yet written the code for it. Do not expect to see this feature until sometime after I have added ROM expansion space usage. (edit) Bah! Linked old directory. ---Evil Peer (edited by Evil Peer on 12-13-04 09:44 PM) (edited by Evil Peer on 12-16-04 05:14 PM) |

| Will saving it with a new version of Temporal Flux that supports infinite String length work retroactively on a ROM that has been edited with previous versions? And small note; the About version still reads 1.04. (edited by xZeaLitYx on 12-13-04 05:25 PM) |

| Will saving with a new version that supports infinite String length work retroactively on a ROM that has been edited with previous versions? It would have to, or it would not work with the unmodified ROM. Once this feature is in, there will no longer be a discrete string editor for dialogue. Strings will be modified directly in the event editor. How exactly I will lay that out, I am still debating. (In the text commands, or in a mini-string editor above / below the event display?) the About version still reads 1.04 D'oh! Well, I was trying to rush it out the door before I had to go home. Something was bound to be missed. I will post an updated executable tomorrow. (The file version does still say 1.5.x though.) ---Evil Peer |
