Hello from the Fortress

Blkcasanova247 · July 31, 2007, 02:19:56 PM

Welcome back Alex! And a new mod too! Awesome! :thumbup:

USAgent · July 31, 2007, 05:35:15 PM

Hey Alex, quick question for ya.

Back before you left for awhile you were working on a hero editor for FFV3R. Is that still in the making?
reason being is that that is one tool that has never been made for FFV3R yet, we can kinda get MrBrdo's hero tool working for the 2nd game but its not 100% (more like 75%).

abenavides · July 31, 2007, 05:48:35 PM

Excellent timing with the question. :)

That's what I hope to release (working through a few minor glitches).

Glad you posted, though, I'm not 100% sure what's needed and what's not. So glad it will be of some use.

catwhowalksbyhimself · July 31, 2007, 06:37:45 PM

Nice! I was sort of hoping you'd finish that. As has been stated, that's one thing that we really don't have a substitute or new version for.

Will it ever!!!!

It will be a huge help for us out here, especially the hero file folks. Cant wait!

BentonGrey · July 31, 2007, 09:38:46 PM

Haha......man I could have used that when I started my project, but it will be a huge help whenever I get around to another one!

Welcome back Sir Alex!

I think your site is still the best site out there.With tons of info and downloads. Thanks for keeping it up and running. I am sure it is one of the reasons freedom force is still alive in the hearts of its thousands of loyal fans. :D Now that your back, I am sure all of them are eagerly awaiting any updates you might have to share. :cool: Me included. :P
No pressure though, I am still busy with some of the stuff i downloaded from your site. :) Thanks again! Nice to have you back.

Oooh, a FFVTR hero tool would be great. I'd kill just to be able to alter weight without hexing.

Symon · August 02, 2007, 06:29:59 PM

I must get out more!

First Dr Mike waves hello and now Alex!

Welcome back!!!

abenavides · August 04, 2007, 05:27:45 PM

Adding a few last minute tweaks to EZHERO 3. Hopefully out soon.

Features List
- It handles FF and FFv3R hero files
- It lets you save to either format at any time
- It will batch convert a whole folder from 1 format to the other
- It will Send hero file info to DAT files for FF and FFv3R mods (EZHero2.6 did it only for FF mods)
- Has all the latest attributes in FFX, but also lets you easily add custom ones
- EZAI tool for FF AI (thx to Taskmaster for all his input on this almost 2 yrs ago)

QuoteHas all the latest attributes in FFX, but also lets you easily add custom ones

Does this include FFX 3.2? If you can add new attributes anyway, it isn't a huge deal.

Symon · August 04, 2007, 07:09:31 PM

Sounds excellent Alex. I can see this getting a lot of use.

Sure is good to have you back.

USAgent · August 04, 2007, 08:32:30 PM

Looking great Alex, hopefully it will have the hero file to text file as well to make it easy to showcase our hero files here.

This will be great for those that only play FF1 but can only find FFV3R hero files and vise versa. Your a life saver!

Corpse · August 06, 2007, 10:29:32 AM

I was getting the urge to re-install either :ff: or :ffvstr: on my computer...looks like it's a good time to do just that. This game has always had a great community, even if Irrational no longer cares about FF...they just care about selling Bioshock on the 360. Oh, how things change.

Anyway, welcome back Alex. I always checked out your website back in the day. I plan to do so again.

Volsung · August 06, 2007, 02:09:44 PM

I just discovered that thread!
I should be more alert when I click the 'show unread posts'

Glad to see you back Alex!

yell0w_lantern · August 06, 2007, 06:04:46 PM

Here's the big question: can it add to the strings DAT?

abenavides · August 06, 2007, 07:23:58 PM

US - yep it still does output to text file.

yellow_lantern - hmmm never thought of that. Should be doable. How do you think it should work? Maybe I can get it in the next version.

abenavides · August 07, 2007, 06:21:43 AM

Quick update: I have completed the work ojn ezhero 3 (including a few last minute features) and was about to set it up for download last night, but I realized i now needed to add 1 more option. So hopefully out tonight.

catwhowalksbyhimself · August 07, 2007, 06:24:11 AM

Nice!

This should be helpful for Liberty Bay. I was using the old EZHero to send files to .dat, then fixing the resulting problems. This should make that easier.

detourne_me · August 07, 2007, 04:17:41 PM

Oh awesome! Thanks for your hard work Alex, i think this will be the final step needed for me to start doing EZ scritping

abenavides · August 08, 2007, 04:55:10 PM

pssst.... EZHERO 3 has been released! :thumbup:

Woot!

Alaric · August 09, 2007, 07:57:10 AM

I really, really need to find my :ffvstr: disk... or get a new copy...
