Edit - Ahhh, I see! Wow I can't believe I hadn't seen your response Tirl, thank you. Yes, I can see how that requirement caused my bug then. Then if I un-link the commands to their trance cmd counterpart, this will undo that bug, and it should play normally?

Also, how is the compatability colaboration project with Albeoris' Memoria coming along? I saw on this discussion the two of you talking about the code and working on compatability.

That's cool. I can't wait to see if you come up with ID solution for steam version.

I've read all the way through the tutorials you have provided on qhimm, on both posts, and the tips and tricks and have used HW to make my own personal mods before. Getting back into it recently, I ran into a few things that i forgot how to deal with, so thanks for clarifying and answering my posts! :)

I have mostly completed my project, however, on the first test, the first tutorial battle, there is a big game breaking bug. Everyone (Blank, Zidane, Marcus, Cinna) has 9999 HP, full trance, full time bar, and when baku attacks, the damage number, lets say its 28 damage, repeats dozens of times per second, yet according to the HP no damage is being done. The only changes I made were rebalancing/renaming/re-assigning spells, commands and a few items. Is there a common mistake made in editing those things that has caused this kind of issue before?

Above is the link to the saved steam mod files, just in case you think you could go through them breifly. You should be able to easily spot the problem since the only things modded were the spells, and what items teach what spells.

Alright Thanks guys. Also, while editing the weapons, how can I switch two model ID's? I'd like to switch the flame saber and coral sword Model ID's.

In HW, if I go to the tab "stats" and click Beatrix, then select trance link and assign it to 2nd command, then make the trance command "Dbl Wht", will she then have trance and double white magic ability?

Normally I wouldnt mind just starting a new game, but playing alternate fantasy is hard! haha. Your rebalancing of enemies and player characters is such a great and refreshing challenge. I love the way it plays. plus I'm almost to where you say beatrix can permanently join the party through actual in-game script editing- I'm so excited!!

Actually no, it doesnt; I can enter the card menu from the in game menu and explore/browse through my card collection like normal. I can even discard cards.

I wonder, though. Aside from restoring the integrity of the save file, if I could fix the problem by advancing the saved state of my game. Allowing me to load into my game after the tournament. Then I could proceed like normal without incident, so long as I just dont play Tetra Master, which isnt a major concer for me lol.

You know that this is the hades workshop not memoria right?

-_- yes. is why i said @Albeoris since he is involved in this thread, and they are working on compatibility of the two programs. also, my game was first edited with hades workshop the first time, although i doubt that my problem has anything to do with a clashing of the two programs, since the data edited was completely unrelated. but just in case i posted here on the off chance Albeoris or Tirlitit might think so. If you knew anything you wouldn't have posted such a patronizing post. I'm not stupid; know your place.

@Albeoris

I used memoria to edit my card collection, to better my chances of winning the Treno Tetra Master Tournament. Now, every time I try to load Tetra Master in the game, including the Tournament, the game freezes on the black loading screen. Everything else plays fine, but I can't continue the game now.

Next, I verified game cache integrity, and the result is the same. The Tetra Master save data is the only tiny bit that was edited, so I thought if I used Memoria again to edit the data back to the way it was before I changed it, then Tetra Master would be able to load. It didn't help.

Is there anything I can do? Since the save file is perfectly clean other than that tiny bit of corrupted Tetra Master data, I feel like I should be able to salvage my save somehow and continue the game, even if it means editing the save so that I load into it after the tournament, and just never play Tetra Master on that file, I'd be ok with that.

Open the Launcher, of course! Thank you! Ye gods, I have done it!

@ Tirlititi - And where/what is that file? the HW only seems to be able to recognize bin files in the games steam directory. I know based on using this HW in the past that those bin files in the streaming assets folder are the data files. non-modded version of the game you say? ok.. well the only vanilla files of the game that HW recognizes are those bins. and yes, it asks if i want to scan them. each time. and the HW application just stops all together.

I've used the tool both tools extensively a few years ago, so I'm getting re-aquainted. I'm loving the easily applied patch process now. One patch for the whole game. Getting the same adjustments to the skills, spells, and items, especially when the overhaul is very large, was a pain to apply to one disk at a time. I have even used it recently, but all those times were on the PSX ROM disks.

I even was the first to post a discussion on FF9 community forum to help get support for you and Albeoris' tools, when FF9 was first released on steam:

Posting If you know someone who has the time other than you, who knows how to use HW for Steam files, could you see about having a discussion for a tutorial posted, possibly even a video?
