 Okay,I applied a  6-letter name patch to my ff1 hack.But it's a little glitchy.

Yeah..

On these the x-position of their name and class is wrong.

And their names in battle are very glitchy.

 This is the hex edit.

 If you know how to fix any of these problems please tell me.

 Well I just copied this from the bug fixes and enhancements forum on gamefaqs.I copied it into the hex editor perfectly.If this doesn't work,then how do other people put 6-letter character names into there hacks?

Errr... By hacking, actually. That could a very tedious task sometimes. And this is definately not just change a pair of numbers as this specific parameter usually influences hella lot of things. Like printing of spaces, positions of a character's stats and so on and so forth. But I don't know this particular game interior at all.

 @Celice.I already looked at that thread and didn't find anything.I did manage to fix 1 problem though.



 I looked at the bugfix thread,and found the data for where the class name is printed on the status screen.I fiddled with the data right before that,and sure enough.That was what determined where to draw the player name on the status screen.Heres my hex edits,yay.

$388b7

10 00 00 ff

$388bd

10 01 00 00

I think I'm just going to try and fix the data myself.

EDIT:I fixed everything except for the glitchy battle names,honestly,that's beyond me.If anyone else has any idea how to fix it I'm all ears.Also,no matter what you name the characters,it always shows those 4 glitched characters.

Sorry for the double post,but I have a real problem now.I've fixed everything except for this 1 problem.For whatever reason,the first time you enter a battle the names show up correctly,but for every subsequent battle after that,the 6th letter in your name is replaced with a random character.And apparently,after I beat "garland" the game froze.I'm not sure if this stemmed from the 6-letter names,but I really need help.

 Okay,2 things.One,WHAT HAPPENED TO THE THREAD?It was 40 pages long before.And two,I wanted some critique on a boss for my ff1 hack,it took forever to sprite.

Kinda looks like a baby Leviathan.

It looks nice, but when I saw it, I thought it was just a random enemy... so I don't know how effective it is as a boss. Still, not all bosses have to be visually imposing, so it can still work.
