???????????? skills

This is from an email I wrote Lord J in August 2013 and sounds like the issue you are probably having, although if you did not have this happen from working with the M-Tek Editor, I'm not sure what caused it:

Me: Hi J, I stumbled upon a bug and I'm not sure if it's a direct result of usme or something that is unrelated and just also does it in usme, but here's what it is:

For the Magitek skills, normally the non-terra actors have 4 selectable skills, and the unused skills are labled as ???????????, which is the spell that does nothing - and in game the Magitek skills with the ??????????? do not show up and are unselecable.

The bug is that if/once you change the ?????????? skills to something else in the Magitek skills editor and save, then if you want to change them back to normal again, to the ??????????, the ?????????? will show up in the game and you can select them and are glitched.

So the bug is once you edit the ????????? to another skill, then try to change them back to normal, they will now show the ?????????? in the list and be glitched.

Hi Mike,

Indeed there is trouble with the M-Tek Editor. Every time the selection is made to be the last entry, the empty command that normally is 0xFF is replaced with 0x7C. Best stick with the hex editor for this ATM.

I've confirmed (and fixed :p) this on my local build. Guess I have no choice than to start working on v6.8, eh? Seriously, I don't know if this time it'll be real but I've already started a list of stuff people requested over the last two years.

Please go to the address Xenovant showed ya and change them back to FF. He is right for you to at least take a minute to check it and not assume that since you didn't change anything directly that nothing is wrong there, although if this is the case you did change it but changed it back.
