hello fellow hackers, I'll be streaming again tomorrow (monday september 19.) at 16:00 GMT/UTC+0 so that's in 24 hours time.
Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/m06u3
Countdown: https://countingdownto.com/countdown/m06...down-clock
I want to thank everyone who showed up last time, especially FF6Fanatic and Gi Nattak for providing me with lots of interesting ideas.
This time I will be showing Everything's new editor FF6Tools, I want to go over the features with you and get any feedback you might have. Some features include:
* Map editing: Tilemaps, Triggers, properties and what not
* Event Script Editing
* Monster and battle group editing
* Battle Script Editing
* Character data editing
* Item and Shop editing
* Text editing
Everything has done a really good job of memory allocation in his editor and most of the stuff that is editable can be expanded to free space automatically.
There is also a project file associated with each hacked ROM that stores all the memory allocations and any information pertaining to the project. Even menu building is stored in this file so if you have extra script commands or modified some lower level behaviour of the game you could implement changes to the editor through the project file. The file is in xml (plist) format so it's easy to navigate with a text editor or parse with an XML parser.
I have a scenario in mind to work on if I get to that on the stream. But I mostly want to test the editor as throughly as possible and receive any ideas on improvement.
So I hope to see you there, FF6Tools is nothing short of incredible so this will be a lot of fun.
happy hacking!
