Nice work! Which sprite was it? Someone may recognise it. I guess now it's just a case of waiting to see of larger sprites are a possobility

My question is...how easy/difficult would it be to mod the world map? It would be cool to make the mountains and forest stick out, maybe remodel some of the towns which look a bit pants. If it's just a case of taking the map and using tools to reshape it then it's something I would like to have a go at (and might improve how our beloved FF6 looks).

Someone has to figure out the file format the models are stored as. They are stored as tmb files. It does appear that all the towns and castles have unique models even when they look identical. For example Figaro and Doma look identical, but they have their own model files in the game's resources. It should be possible to have each place on the map look unique. Provided someone figures out how to read and write geometry to tmb files.

The stuff like trees and mountains are just part of the image that is the map. The map is just a handful of pngs stiched together. The maps are not made up of tiles like the original game. I was thinking that it might be possible to use the different town models and add in all surrounding trees and mountains as models within the town model file, but I can see reasons also why that wouldn't work, foremost, the code unloading any models for towns the player isn't currently near.

That's a shame. It seems much of the file structure is still a mystery to us.

I have many more questions, but I'll leave them for today. Thanks plucky!

I know this has gone off the boil a bit, but just wanted to reaffirm my support for this mod. I'd definitely be willing to contribute money to any sprite artists out there looking to get this vision of the game done. I've got myself a laptop now so I'm gonna have a play with FFV mods as practice in case I can help.

Are there any android apps that would be okay for editing sprites? My laptop woes mean im stuck with a tablet, but i do have a stylus so id like to give it a go...but cant find any apps.

I've moved this thread to FFV as it's most relevant here.

In short, one of the nice things about FF1,2, and 4 on PSP is the use of sort of filters to add weather effects (sunshine, clouds, mist in dungeons etc.)

If it were possible to add this to FFV I think it would really up the visual quality of the game.

Now I know that filters occasionally come up (at night when using a tent, in a flashback or cutscene).

Would it be possible to work out how to add filters to things like the world map (sunshine in world 1, cloud in world 2) or dungeons (mist, or a dark shroud).

I just think it would be so cool and help bring FFV up to the graphical quality of the PSP remasters.

I think the last update was that it's ob hold as Nyxo looks into whether it would be possible to use bigger sprites

It looks really good. Much better.

I was going to have a cracking at helping, but my nee laptop...never came. Gumtree scam. So no computer for me. :(

What, Blizzaga back to Ice 3? Why would you want to change them?

Nostalgia (which is a perfectly reasonable reason).

I personally would like a mod for FF7 that changes spell names the other way round.

Incidentally I hope they fix the minor translation issues in IX. Like Unne's Mirror.
