Airship Falcon: Expanded

Airship Expanded Download

There it is. Complete'ish, well enough so that I need a break before I even think about working out any kinks.

This isn't a full game hack, nothing ground breaking or earth shaking. It just expands the Falcon (The airship in the World of Ruin...) and lets you recruit a few people/things... adds quest? Maybe? Eh, you decide what to call it. Here's what it is:

• Magitek Armor - Equipable from the Airship
  
• 4 suits of Magitek Armor to collect from around the world.
  
• 4 NPC's from around the world to recruit for various jobs on the Airship.
  
• A small quest to get Setzer a girlfriend.
  
• Interceptor shows himself on the airship.
  
• The Falcon interior is a little bigger overall.
  
• A Chocobo to ride from the airship.
  
• An Imp Robot as a guest character.
  

It's not much, I admit, but it is kinda fun to play with.

This patch includes:

• Madsiur's FF6LE Rogue+ expanded NPC's and Map Data patch.
  
• HatZen08's "Guest Adder" Patch.
  
• Alot of ideas obtained from the member's of this forum.
  
• Sprint with B button (requires further explaining).
  
• My Auction House Rewrite Patch
  

This is intended for a headered, v1.0 Rom

In the zip is a save file, the first save slot is ready for testing/recruiting everything/everybody. The second save slot is post recruiting. It also includes my notes for what ever reason, and two txt documents. "Check list" is a list of everything you can recruit. "Guide (spoiler)" includes better directions of exactly where the stuff is. Everything is placed where it could be found during normal play, if your looking, but its not all just sitting there in the open.
On another note, all the bits I repurposed for use in this project are set how they need to be with the other bits that get set for the WoR. Meaning a save other than the one included that does not start before the opening of the Solitary Island event with Celes waking up will have no telling what parts of this set or not set. Just fyi.
Its not perfect, by any means, but as far as I've tested it all "works". These things being:

• The Chocobo ride only shows a shadow until you dismount (I got no clue, everything works, it rides, it dismounts, it just won't draw the damn bird).
  
• M-tek in battle glitches (I've fixed the formations I could fix without effecting the rest of the game. There are a few others I will probably try and adjust to make it a little cleaner but I'm not keen on screwing the whole game around for a joy ride in armor)
  
• The scene where Celes is "imprisoned" post opera, takes place is the "Blackjack, backroom" This room is now part of the Falcon. This change shouldn't bother the Celes' prison room event, it's just kinda odd that the room is no longer part of the Blackjack except for that event. Yeah, I need to go back and move that first part where Locke boards the ship to another room, but I haven't done it yet.
  

As for the Sprint with B button thing, I needed an item for the guest Imp and decided to use Sprint Shoes. I removed all instances I could find, so you can only get the item when you get the Imp. To replace the shoes, I used a modified version of the Dash patch from Master Zed's page. Yes, I'm kinda proud to have come up with these three bytes, anyway it only replaces the check for Sprint Shoes with a check for the B button. I want to say it turns dash on all the time, then turns it off if the B button is not pressed, which took up no extra space, and left the anti-dash function intact. This vs the normal way of turn dash on if condition is met. Something like that anyway, its three freaking bytes and it let me repurpose the shoes!

Give it a try, only took me about 20-30 minutes or less to run through the recruiting in a test session. So it shouldn't waste to much time.

If you like it, great. If you don't like it, great. For what it's worth, I put this much of it together. Wouldn't say I'm overly proud of it, but it is what it is. Even though its not 100% finished, thanks everbody that suggested ideas, helped with info, answered questions, and all that jazz. Hopefully I'll knock out the kinks before to long, I just really need to do something that requires less thinking for a bit.
