6 Letters Available! (Complete!) - Now Doing 7!

[Mauron]

I *think* this is everything. I applied all of these to a fresh ROM and didn't spot any issues. It doesn't have your fancy "Lv" symbol; I just used "L" to mark the level.

I've attached a new IPS patch as well.

Okay, so what all do we have here? Can we patch an unheadered ROM and use six letter names with absolutely no repercussion, limitations, or changes whatsoever? Is there any way to break the code by entering a certain name? Does the patch make any modifications besides 6 letters?

[Mauron]

There are no known repercussions, limitations, or glitches. All necessary changes are in the patch, and are applied to existing data or code. Nothing was relocated.

Besides changes that were directly related to allowing 6 letters, "LV" on the status and save screens was shortened to "L", and the ATB gauge is moved over slightly.

[ZeaLitY]

Wow. So it's completely real...

This'll be a crown jewel of the next update. Congratulations to everyone for making it possible.

[Vehek]

That patch you uploaded seems to be missing the save screen LV fix and has a blank where the level symbol should be in the regular menu.

Edit-The blank seems to be the result of keeping Justin's change to the LV text, but not including the Lv tile.

[Agent 12]

I'm confused where do you store the "6th" letter for the characters (if you not using any unused space). 

--JP

[Vehek]

The 6th letter gets stored to what's normally a null space after the name.

[justin3009]

You forgot to edit the Save Screen's 6th letter.  I'll throw in the "fancy' LV and fix the save screen, then host the patch up.

Edit: All set guys ^_*

[ZeaLitY]

Going to submit to ROMHacking.net?

[justin3009]

Should I?  I was expecting Vehek or Mauron to considering they did most of the work.

[ZeaLitY]

Oh, well just curious; wouldn't want the opportunity to be missed. It's another feather in our cap over there. If someone wants to do it, let me know; otherwise I'll go ahead and submit Tuesday.

[justin3009]

Go ahead and submit it.  You're the head of the site, I think it'd make more sense.  It's a hack for the Chronocompendium and everyone, so the head of the site should do it.

[ZeaLitY]

Ugh, well I don't mean to push in; I'll let it go for a while to see if someone else wants to have the experience.

[justin3009]

- Well I've been working a bit more into this, seeing what I can expand it to.  I'm trying 7 letters.  xD

[Chocobo_Fan]

... o.O I think six is enough... But if you want to, I don't see why not! XD

Just want to say congratulations to everyone that worked on this. The stuff in Kajar Labs is always really cool! :D Can't wait to try this out. ;)
