Temporal Flux v2.55
Continuing my somewhat disturbing trend of only releasing updates once per year, usually around the holidays, here comes the latest version of the most versatile Chrono Trigger editor. While not quite as big of an update as v2.00, it still has some significant new features.
This release requires v2.0 of the .NET Framework, which you can get from Windows Update and other locations on Microsoft's site.
From the release notes:
v2.50
New
- Japanese ROM support . Full read / write support. Normal editing only, not a translation tool.
- Beta ROM read-only support . Many packets have different formats which have not been fully figured out yet.
- Locations . Treasure Chest editing. Relocatable and upto 0x80 per Location.
- Locations . Explicit Pasting. Now specify which layers (and properties) you want to paste. Even to another window when using "Most Recent Copy".
- Loc Events . Addresses in banks 00 and 01 are now translated to known address names
- Loc Exits . Relocatable and upto 0x80 per Location.
- Events . Directly editable without accessing the associated map
- Strings . Relocatable closing credits
- Misc . New (and much better) docking library
- Misc . Startup Location patch
- Compression . Compression dialog now displays packet statistics in status bar
Fixed
- Locations . Changing subtiles when tilesets are invalid caused an exception
- Locations . Maps beyond C8 were not set to "compressed", and were not being saved.
- Locations . Event spinner was not limited to 201 packets
- Loc Events . Commands not saved in ArbC in last object
- Loc Events . Paste failed when no objects present
- Loc Events . Rename Epoch did not update properly
- Loc Events . Crash on change command or category when no node selected
- Loc Events . Crash on edit command 5D. Was classified as "Unused" which is no longer valid
- Loc Exits . Half Tile Up & Left were swapped
- Maps . Subtile updates caused program to hang if there were a large number of tiles to update
- Overworlds . Crash when tileset set too high
- Overworlds . Palette Shift did not work for most Overworlds
- Overworlds . Tile properties value not saved
- Overworlds . Not using correct Exit index
- Overworlds . Not refreshing for Exits, Tile Props, or Music Transition
- OW Events . Decrement Until Zero did not update its label properly, potential crash
- OW Events . AddObject crashed game
- OW Events . Could not edit comments
- OW Events . Deleted comments may not have been cleared when saving.
- OW Events . Crash on edit music set to 0xFF
- OW Exits . Crash on edit exits after saving
- Import / Export . Strings were lost when importing Location Events, leading to game crashes and possible ROM corruption
- Import / Export . Null error on saving imported Overworld Events
- Strings . Special character 12 now distinguishes between tech and monster
- Strings . Wrong space character was used for Table 2
- Strings . Display not updated when opening ROM
- Strings . Crash on forward-duplicates
- Saving . Crash on write to read-only file
- Saving . Checks for "not enough space"
- Music . "No Music" set to "Invalid" on lost focus
- Music . Set to Silence on new window
Changed
- Loc Events . TreeView is now always scrolled to top
- Loc Events . Max Locaton Event packet size of 1700 now checked for when saving
- Loc Events . "Touch" pointer added
- Events . Many more commands decoded and several corrected, expanded
- Maps . Drawing function stack rewritten so each function is independant of the others. Fewer things get done multiple times.
- Misc Settings . Manage Party split into separate Overworld and Location values
- Music . Updated list
- Internal Code . some internal code partially combined for a smaller executable and fewer code rewrites
Notes
- Import / Export . v2.00 is not forward-compatible with v2.50's Flux files
While this version can edit the Japanese ROMs, this is not a translation tool. It will not even accept non-Japanese characters for strings (or non-English characters for the NA release either). Translators will still want to use Bisqwit's chronotools utility set.
Mods, this appears to be the proper forum for releases. If this would be better placed in "ROM Hacking", feel free to move it there.

| I'm wondering why this is being ignored. I may not be hacking Chrono Trigger, but this is a wonderful release. Keep up the good work Geiger. |

| Yes, I wish some other people would get involved in Chrono Trigger hacking. Crimson Echoes is huge, but that's that -- you're basically stuck with whatever we make. It'd be nice if someone attempted a little hack, like some little sidestory adventure. |
