Pony Fantasy VI Remake

*giggles madly*

So I'm ready for bed, just checking the Fimfiction group... see a post in the bug report thread. A broken event crashing the game. Guess which one...

THE LOCKE FLASHBACK

Fairly easy to figure out why, in my infinite wisdom I moved my new flashback all the way to the FE drive, where Rydel put some of his stuff, so it got overwritten. Was fun tracking it down too since my notes are gone with my PC wipe and I had no idea where I had moved the flashback to, but found it! Fairly easy fix too, fire up an old rom, dump the event from there, move it somewhere else, redefine the subroutine jump to it... except not. The animation where Locke is pushed and moves to the right was halting the event. I don't know why, that specific action was unchanged from vanilla. But anything put after it - cue a sound effect, cue a text screen, cue a battle - didn't trigger, including my event jump. No, I don't mean I changed the jump to jump to a battle routine. I mean, I removed the jump and replaced it with codes to do those things. Didn't work. Spent an hour trying to figure out why. Moved Locke being pushed to the rest of the moved event coding and put the jump to it before he's pushed... and now it works.

I don't know why Locke's action was halting the entire event. I don't know moving his action to after the jump suddenly stopped that. I don't know why I had originally moved the event all the way to the FE drive. And I don't know why whatever creator deity you believe exists would gift me the chance to put the moved event in the same spot as Rydel put some of his stuff. I don't know. I don't know anything. But I would wager that if sat down and counted the posts, half this ridiculously long thread that is a testament to my ignorance would be about getting Umaro to work and getting this ONE SINGLE EVENT TO WORK BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE THIS IS THE NINTH TIME I'VE HAD TO TROUBLESHOOT IT AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I SHOOT IT THE TROUBLE KEEPS COMING BACK.

...I'm going to go to bed now, alternating between sobbing and giggling in hysterics. Thank you, everyone, for letting me get this off my chest. Carry on...
