It only took 2 months for me to get back into hacking and one month to finally release a fixed patch for this game after getting more bug reports than I should.

That being said, version 3.1 fixes the biggest problems in the version 3 patch of Tactics Universe. The download is on the first page.

Good news, I finished the story outline!

I also made a list of all the boss portraits needed and wrote down a list of custom animations needed. I sent the list of portraits needed to my spriter helper so that can get started on.

With a story outline done I had an idea of what every map should look like so I informed a good friend of mine who is a great map spriter and has already helped a ton with the hacking. He should be able to get some of those done but I may still need help (and I'll be doing some of portrait, battle sprite, and map spriting myself, of course).

With that everything is set and I can start working on the scripts and preparing everything for hacking, which I'll do in the summer. In the summer everything will be ready so I should be able to complete a chapter in 2 days. I probably won't work for about one month so if summer break is 70 days I'll have about 30 full work days so 15 chapters should be done. That'll leave the final 7 chapters so I should be done with the hack by next spring break! But if not, I'll finish by next summer break (NOT the one coming in 2 months).

Yay me! I'm finding so many ways to celebrate XD

Well here's a bug report... maybe...

When your little "Zelda" sound thing plays after a weapon level increase... when I go to the "info" menus by pressing "R", there's no sound that comes up... or when I scroll through info windows on characters...

It's only AFTER that sound when it glitches up... this is the latest version that you posted... on BOTH the DS background and non DS versions...

After you end the turn though... it's fine... Just though you should know... though people could just ignore it... XD

1) You're playing my game?!!! NANDA KORE?!!! I thought you didn't care lmao

2) I know about this glitch. Any sounds on the same priority level as my custom sound get nulled, I'm thinking it has to do with some sort of overflow or complicated interference. There isn't really an "unused" priority so I chose something that wouldn't make a huge difference but actually when making a video last night I encountered the same problem as you and I was like "dang that stinks..."... I still don't understand why it happens but I was thinking of maybe transferring all sounds on priority 8 to priority 7 and then keeping the custom sound alone on priority 8. But that'd likely cause problems too, so I'm just keeping it the way it is.

Thanks for telling me anyway though. I was a -little- curious if anyone noticed the glitch. tongue.gif

Hmm, so far here's what I found :

Ch.2's house still doesn't work for me.

Ch.8's preparation screen lets me field 6 units but there's only 5 starting squares to put them on. The 6th unit goes completely offscreen and is unusable.

Hope that helps.

Did you use cheats or anything? Are you using the latest version of the patch (v3.1) with VisualBoyAdvance v1.8.0.3, the Wii GBA emulator, or a flashcart?

I can haz savestates?

I didn't use cheats, I'm playing hard mode, I'm using the latest (DS version) patch and I'm pretty sure I am using visualboy advance v1.8.0.3.

You can haz savestate~

Thanks, I'll look into it and try and get back to you in a few days, hopefully. If I don't do crap or at least say "I'll have to delay it" by Wednesday, then feel free to remind me by bumping the topic.

Oh man, I totally forgot about this. Well the weekdays are too busy so I'll have to wait for the weekend again.

Also, no progress besides preparing portraits and maps and scripts. Just preparations though. Well, you might think this is slightly interesting, but otherwise nothing new.

As I said once before, i can't get it to work. Maybe try making it have some useful error messages or make it be able to process scripts tar are buggy and label the pieces of code that are buggy or not supported. :/

I haven't mentioned any progress in a long time so:



An update of sorts, I run over the TU progress (although there's nothing to show) and ask for some help regarding some things.

QUOTE (Video Description)
An update on Tactics Universe. After explaining a lot of things I request some help with supports and map sprites.

I originally asked for help with spriting and I got it. I sent Nayr a list of stuff to do. Once he gets it done, there will only be a small handful of portraits needed to be done. happy.gif

I have the maps for chapter 16-17 and I know Exxucus will get on the rest of them as we can.

Map sprites--there are maybe 8 more custom classes and they need map sprites. To start, I need a Halberdier map sprite to go along with Dei's halberdier class.

Scripts, same thing. I have them set for a couple chapters and I think I can keep on cranking them out. HOWEVER, I'd like to get some professional proofreaders and critiquers who can help make the plot as good as it can be while minimizing cornyness and maximizing epicness.

SUPPORTS. There are 70 supports in the game, approximately. Some of the deeper ones I have to do. I have 13 done so far. I'll probably end up doing 27 more of the important ones (not to mention all of Kelik's). That still leaves 30 supports that, while they are not crucial to the game, will add to it.

The last part is TEXT FORMATTING. I need text formatting help because it's a long process. If someone can use the Natural Script Formatter to get scripts formatted in short time (ESPECIALLY support conversations, since I don't have time to format those), that'd be awesome.

I'd like as much help as I can get. I'd really appreciate it. I'm not expecting a lot (I only have a couple dozen people who follow) but if I could get 1 or 2 people that'd be sick.

^Heh, I'm not very good, and have little to no artistic talent, and I did that, so you probably could too if you put enough effort into it.

New update on portraits and a couple of videos. Check out the blog (and get into a routine of it, lol). http://tacticsuniverse.blogspot.com/
