    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV DS Hacking question(s)

    Thank you so much for all of this. I tried Cue's tools last night and it just kept telling me that the file wasn't compressed, but I'm going to try a few more things. I definitely don't want to change the lengths of the names, nothing fancy like that, because I know that pointers can be very...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV DS Hacking question(s)

    Hello, Fast6191! You're the one who helped us last time and I really appreciated it then, and I really appreciate it now. I actually don't know if you can decompress the whole file or not. Back in the day when we did it, the whole thing didn't decompress when we used gbalzss ... but like you...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV DS Hacking question(s)

    Hello everyone. I'm not a new member, but I haven't been active here in quite some time. Many years ago, I decided I wanted to edit Final Fantasy IV DS's script. And while it was a personal project, it was (and still is!) something I'm very serious about doing. My aim all those years ago was...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV DS tabling/compression/script question

    I thought I'd post an update of sorts. Laurant has everything up to where you get Tellah in your party and it's been tested and it works perfectly so far, so it would seem that all of this did the trick. I"m curious about one thing however. FAST6191, a few posts back, you wrote: "And yeah...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV DS tabling/compression/script question

    We are very close. Laurant was able to change the name of the main character in the Mist Cave starting from the Namingway portion to the end of the cave. He will post screen shots and an explanation of what he did. I think it might just be a matter of getting the rest of the script out of...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV DS tabling/compression/script question

    Also, as sort of an addition to laurant's post. ... i noticed something when I was messing around with this file the other night. There is an area in that CAST_EVENT_MSD.dat file that just has the characters names, one right after the other. ... He changed some stuff and it didn't change cecil's...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV DS tabling/compression/script question

    As far as that compression goes, what would we have to do to take each file out individually? Would we use the same tool that we used to decompress it in the first place and use a different command, or would I have to do a different process altogether? I don't mean to sound like a n00b when it...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV DS tabling/compression/script question

    all right, to clarify a little bit, this is what I seem to have on my hands. I'm a graphic designer, not a programmer, so I don't pretend to understand any of this, but I'm trying extremely hard to make this work, regardless. This is the process that I followed, first of all. I took the...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV DS tabling/compression/script question

    All right, here we go. I was able to get to the script and edit it. I am having a hard time putting it back into the game. ... I used the program that was mentioned above to decompress it. It was a .dat file entitled CAST_SCRIPT.MSD.DAT or something to that extent. I am able to go in and...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV DS tabling/compression/script question

    Thank you very much for your quick reply! I was actually kinda relieved to hear that it seemed similar to FF3, because this means that it isn't some weird never before seen compression type, and since that game has been hacked, things are not so hopeless for me afterall. I actually read some...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV DS tabling/compression/script question

    Hello everyone. I have decided, as a personal project, to try to hack the script of Final Fantasy IV DS. While this is very much a personal project, it's something I'm really serious about and really want to do. I am trying to make some edits to the script in final fantasy iv ds, and i've run...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV ds... A humble request for help.

    yeah, but you can turn voice acting off. In star ocean for the playstation 2, if you turned voice acting off you could name your characters.

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV ds... A humble request for help.

    I think it's worth the hassle. If there is a way to do it, I'd like to. The way I dealt with the voice acting was that I put the japanese voices in. You can also turn off the voice acting though. I come from an era when you could name your guys in almost every RPG. it was weird when you...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV ds... A humble request for help.

    yeah, I understand that it would be extremely extensive. It's totally worth it for me, and I actually really want to do it. I changed all the things that were variable, and now I'm totally up for the challenge. Like I said though, I just need to know what to look for as far as the script goes. I...

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV ds... A humble request for help.

    I was able to change the text in all the battle messages and in a few places in the script, but not all. Any ideas? I'm really at the end of my rope at this point. I don't know what I'm doing enough I don't think. once again, any sort of help would be appreciated.

    ROM Hack Final Fantasy IV ds... A humble request for help.

    Hi. I'm new to this board and relatively new to romhacking. I was wondering if anyone could help me out a bit with something. This is going to sound very strange, so let me explain first. I grew up in an era where you could name your characters in nearly every RPG you played. Final Fantasy...
