Editing the sprites would be tedious; trust me. They repeat in every map.
Just don't do it!

And Hojo shares character sprites with Barrett. And the list continues... So I have to go through and edit them.

It would take a while, but shouldn't be too bad. I already fixed Barret's head in the beginning area. Love that code/data logger :thumbsup: |

I never really used the Data Logger because of how long it takes.

It's saved me so much time. I like how it highlights in the hex editor exactly what data is being used. It makes things much easier than it would be otherwise.

BTW those Soldiers are actually called MP in the original FFVII. I don't know how to change the name. Lindblum did the translation. Can you tell me how it works. You open up the hex editor and then open up the code/data logger. You go to the area in the game that you need the code for and start the code/data logger, and wait for it to stop, then pause it. Then look through the hex editor for codes that are highlighted in blue or yellow. Then just make alterations, and move around on the map, or open and close the menu. Then you should see the changes if you altered the right code. This is how I found the code for the mugshots, and for the map and character sprites for the first area. I forget what yellow is for, but the codes for the maps and sprites are highlighted in blue. Alright, thanks. I'm going to quit for today though.

Before I go to bed, I just had a thought. How about having a cartoonish version of Vincent be the pointer on the battle menu and a cartoonish version of Yuffie as the menu pointer. I know it's kind of silly, but I want Yuffie and Vincent to be somewhere on the game. Also, Chpexo, I like what you did to the opening area of the game and thanks for changing the battle menu. Good job :thumbsup: |

Most old RPG games have a fixed per room NPC limit.
You could add some
persons that point to cut things in the NES demake in a humourous way.
From a game design view point ,it is wise to redirect the Intercom mugshot
to a person that has none,because character designs ans faces express more about the
person than NES sprites,please change a few to catch the NPCs look in the artwork
Did you touch the music a bit?

Not yet, I would love to, but I have no experience with music programming and wouldn't know where to begin. it is wise to redirect the Intercom mugshot
to a person that has none,because character designs ans faces express more about the
person than NES sprites I would like to add mugshots for NPC characters, but I don't know how to. I only know how to edit what's there. |

Thanks I know it's kind of silly, but I want Yuffie and Vincent to be somewhere on the game. I was also thinking about that. I'll make the mugshots now. EDIT: Finished Yuffie.  Oh yeah if you want to add a mugshot to NPCs it is included in the script or dialogue. Here's Vincent  Here's Wedge  I changed him because he looked like that blob from Starwars. Here's Jessie  NPC  Oh yeah and don't make Cloud's hair brown. |

Oh yeah and don't make Cloud's hair brown. At the time when I was doing colors for those areas, I didn't know how to make it so that Barret's head uses the same colors as his body, rather than Cloud's head. So my solution was to make Cloud's hair that dark yellow color so Barrett could be dark skinned. Don't worry, I know how to actually fix it now so Cloud can keep his blonde hair and Barrett can be dark skinned. Here's Wedge
I changed him because he looked like that blob from Starwars. Lol :laugh: Yeah, that's true. Good job on the mugshots. :thumbsup: I'll put them in. But I don't know how to add graphics (yet), I only know how to edit what's already there. Once I learn how to add graphics, I'll put in Yuffie, Vincent, and the NPC mugshots. |

I made a quick edit to Marlene's new mugshot. Her eyes still suffered from the "One's bigger than the other" syndrome so I changed that, and I removed that weird puff thing from the left side of her head. I also made her nose a little taller (One extra pixel! :laugh:)  |

Aerith and Tifa's battle sprites are done, all that's left is to make a death sprite for Cid and Cait Sith and the battle sprites will be all done.  (I kept the eyes slanting down to the left for Tifa. She's more of a fighter, unlike Aerith.) I added the mugshots you've been posting, thanks again for doing them. I really appreciate the help.  |
