Title: Bigger squads?
Post by: darabka on June 26, 2012, 05:43:03 PM
I wanted to ask if it is somehow possible to extend the squad size for the danger room? The enemy squad can be 24 and the heroes 4. It would be cool to extend the hero squad to 7 or more. I like doing big scale weapons, so I understand if it isnt possible because of possiple lag, but Im still curious.

The game doesn't support having more than 4 portraits, and 4 controllable characters.

But there is something I put together ages ago for FFvTTR which I think was called FFX Epic Mode. M25's AI system let you tag some of the NPCs as allies, and they'd fight alongside you. I then added commands so any controllable hero could swap with these guys to become AI controlled themselves and let you take over the ally. So you could have say a team of 10, 4 of whom were controllable at any time.

I've no idea if its in the current versions of FFX. But yep, checking my site:

www.fundamentzero.com, look under FFvTTR: FFX2 3.0, theres stuff in the mnaual about M25 FFX Epic Skirmish Mode there.

Hope that helps

I think I have installed FFX mod for the first Freedom Force (BTW I thank you for this great update, Im sure it was incredibly difficult to make, and it ads so many needed powers and features to the game). I got it from this site http://ffx.freedomforceforever.com/manual.htm (http://ffx.freedomforceforever.com/manual.htm) does the  :ff: feature this epic feature like the  :ffvstr: version?

I dont think it did.
If I remember correctly, FFvTTR made it much easier to switch a character between AI control and player control - doing this on the original FF via script was pretty much impossible.

Glad you enjoyed FFX by the way. I had a blast making it :)
