Problem loading new fights generated with Hades Workshop

[Teamtorrentscripts]

Hello, I'm trying to generate new battles with HW, but I'm having a problem loading them into the game.

I did a test by re-editing a combat from the game, but adding it to another new combat with ID5000, so far so good, but when the game is loaded, it keeps flashing continuously, without loading anything else. I've tried changing by putting a new ID, but it's still the same. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

I have no problem with that from my end.

That looks more like you have a mismatch between the number of enemies you declare in the group ("Group 1" -> "Enemy Amount", or their types) and the number of enemies you setup in the AI script ("Edit Script" -> "Function Main_Init" -> the number of lines "InitObject" with proper parameters).

Well, it is very strange because the new battle exported was without touching anything of it, I chose the base battle 280 with ID 5000 again as it was (without modifying anything about that same battle) and the same thing happened again. Could it be that I put the files wrong when the battle is exported? This is how I leave them in my mod.

Please help :(

What's that line BattleMapModel GEO_WEP_B1_096 in the dictionary patch? It's not correct.
That shouldn't be the cause of the crash though; incorrect dictionary patch lines are just ignored, unless I'm mistaken.

The rest of what you showed seem correct. Do you have the following files as well?

Rikkuandyuna Edition/StreamingAssets/assets/resources/BattleMap/BattleScene/EVT_BATTLE_CUSTOM_BATTLE_000/5000.raw17.bytes
Rikkuandyuna Edition/StreamingAssets/assets/resources/BattleMap/BattleScene/EVT_BATTLE_CUSTOM_BATTLE_000/dbfile0000.raw16.bytes
Rikkuandyuna Edition/FF9_Data/embeddedasset/text/es/Battle/5000.mes

Also, you don't show how you trigger that battle in-game. Do you modify the script of a field? the script of a world map? the battle sets of a world map?

The "BattleMapModel GEO_WEP_B1_096" in DiccionaryPatch I seem to remember that it was already there, but it had never given me any error of any kind before

I also already found the error according to your answer! I needed to put the text file!! I put it in and it worked the first time. You handle so many files that you sometimes forget to put them in hahaha.

Thank you very much, you always solve my problems!!

One question, to export a new field with a new ID, where are the files generated by HW placed in the mod? There if I get lost and I can't find them.

[Tirlititi]

You have the different asset paths that are required for a field (and thus the files that are generated or copied by HW for these custom fields) listed here.

So basically:

Assets/Resources/FieldMaps/[Field Map Identifier]/atlas.png
Assets/Resources/FieldMaps/[Field Map Identifier]/[Field Map Identifier].bgi.bytes
Assets/Resources/FieldMaps/[Field Map Identifier]/[Field Map Identifier].bgs.bytes
Assets/Resources/CommonAsset/EventEngine/EventBinary/Field/[LANG]/[Script Identifier].eb.bytes

The files placed in "FF9_Data" are mostly the files containing texts (there are a couple of other things in "FF9_Data" but the majority is text). For fields, you don't necessarily need a custom text block, so there's none by default. If you do want to separate the texts and dialogs relevant to your custom fields, you can use a MessageFile line in your Dictionary Patch.

[Teamtorrentscripts]

Well, I must do something wrong, when loading that field ID in the game, the screen appears like this

I put all the files in the location he told me and I don't know what could go wrong :S. This is how I load that Field ID with HW.

[Tirlititi]

Ah, that's because HW uses the default non-modded atlas.png of the field. But since you are playing with the Moguri Mod, the game expects field backgrounds to be upscaled. You must extract the related atlas.png of the field from the MoguriFiles archives instead.

It's hacky, but the way to do it is to make backups of your files FINAL FANTASY IX/StreamingAssets/p0data1X.bin, then copy-paste (or move) the version of these files you'll find inside the MoguriFiles folder, then open HW and "Tools -> Unity Assets Viewer -> Open -> FF9_Launcher.exe" then "Archives -> p0data1" and then browse these archives to find the atlas corresponding to the field you're based on. In this case, that's Prima Vista's Cargo Room so it's the following asset:

Assets/Resources/FieldMaps/FBG_N00_TSHP_MAP002_TH_CGR_1/atlas.png

Then "right-click -> Export Selection" and you'll have that asset in a sub-folder of "FINAL FANTASY IX/HadesWorkshopAssets".
Move that asset in place of the atlas.png previously exported by HW in your mod folder.

And then, move the archives p0data1 back to their Moguri mod folder and replace the backup of the original archives.

Most likely, you'd want to export all the atlas.png you think you'll use before putting the backups back to their original place, because you don't want to do that procedure everytime. Also keep a backup of these atlas you export somewhere, in case they get replaced when exporting custom fields with HW.

I forgot to say that I used Mogurimod, sorry ;(

But with her instructions it has been easier than I thought! Everything has worked without problems, I load that same map with the new ID without any errors.

I am happy thanks to you!! thank you very much once again ;)

[Teamtorrentscripts]

Excuse me, how was it to import the new dialogs that I incorporated into the new field ID? I'm trying this in Diccionari Patch but it doesn't work, it loads other different dialogs, the new dialogs are the 3 highlighted in red

[Tirlititi]

That's not doing the attacks one after the other, that's doing them randomly (and not all of them, only the first 5 cases).

"switchex 8 ( GetRandom % 5 )" introduces 8 different code blocks (called case) with only one of them being executed, depending on the result of the formula in parenthesis. There, the formula is GetRandom % 5, which means that everytime the function ATB runs, a random number between 0 and 4 is picked and the corresponding case is executed.

In order to have the different attacks being used one after the other, you rather need to use a variable that keeps track of the next attack to be used. You do that with these lines inside the "Local variables" block above the function's code:

allocate 1
local uint8 attack_counter

And then, you use that variable in the switchex formula:

switchex 8 ( attack_counter ) {
case 0:
    // First attack....
    break
case 1:
    // Second attack...
    break
// etc...
}
// Increment the attack counter
set attack_counter++
// Make it loop back to the first attack if it got too high
if ( attack_counter >= 8 ) {
    set attack_counter = 0
}
return

Don't forget the break keyword at the end of each case!

Ugh, I think I got lost in your answer haha, I'm trying to see if I understood it, but after more than 10 minutes trying, HW never saves the applied changes.

If you would be so kind, could you put the complete code so that these attacks occur in order? so I'm getting ideas

Thank you so much for your patience ;)

set #( SV_Target = RandomInTeam(( NotMatching(SV_PlayerTeam[STATUS_CURRENT_A], 257) & NotMatching(SV_PlayerTeam[STATUS_CURRENT_B], 64) )) )
switchex 3 ( GetRandom % 3 ) {
case 0:
Attack( 0 )
break
case 1:
Attack( 1 )
break
case 2:
set #( SV_Target = SV_PlayerTeam )
Attack( 7 )
break
}
return

[Teamtorrentscripts]

Sorry to bother you again @Tirlititi , I managed to get the previous problem to work, but now I find that when I put a new attack on the enemy (attack 4 in the capture), it does it randomly and not in order.

Besides, I also notice that when an ally attacks the enemy, he only focuses on him until he kills him, and I don't want that

Do you know why it is? I have it like this in HW

[Tirlititi]

You need to setup a target before each Attack line. The standard targets are either SV_PlayerTeam for an enemy's multi-target attack, and RandomInTeam(SV_PlayerTeam) for single-target attacks.

So let's say your attacks 0 and 1 are multi-target, your attacks 2 and 3 are single-target, and let's say your attack 4 is single-target and should target in priority a character that has Trouble:

switchex 5 ( attack_counter ) {
case 0:
    set SV_Target = SV_PlayerTeam
    Attack( 0 )
    break
case 1:
    set SV_Target = SV_PlayerTeam
    Attack( 1 )
    break
case 2:
    set SV_Target = RandomInTeam(SV_PlayerTeam)
    Attack( 2 )
    break
case 3:
    set SV_Target = RandomInTeam(SV_PlayerTeam)
    Attack( 3 )
    break
case 4:
    set SV_Target = RandomInTeam( Matching(SV_PlayerTeam[STATUS_CURRENT_A], 32) )
    if ( SV_Target == 0 ) {
        set SV_Target = RandomInTeam(SV_PlayerTeam)
    }
    Attack( 4 )
    break
}
set attack_counter++
if ( attack_counter >= 5 ) {
    set attack_counter = 0
}
return

[Teamtorrentscripts]

Wow, I get it, with that code it seems to be working fine and there are no problems. Thank you.

Now I'm looking for an attack that only executes when I do another attack a certain number of times. Example; When you do Attack (4) 3 times, immediately cast Attack 1 every time (or else cast Attack 1 and then reset everything)
