I scanned for 82 00 around it, and none of them were it.  It just color crashed the map.

I rewrote Frog's dialog, the text in regular boldness are from the original script, and the text bold are what I've written.

Frog: Lady Schala is here...?
Frog: Thine princess is here...?

Frog: What foul evil has done this!?
Frog: What foul evil hath done this!?

Frog: We will save you!
Frog: Worry not, we shall save thee!

Frog: Is this where the source of the plague comes from?
Frog: 'Tis the source of the plague?

Frog: Rule...? What are they trying to do?
Frog: Rule...? What doth these knaves have planned?

You are the source of all this evil!?
Frog: Thou art the source of all this evil!?

Frog: Give us the cure to that horrid plague!
Frog: Give us thine cure to that wretched plague!

Frog: We have no time to pursue them... We must go back!
Frog: We hath not the time to pursue them... We must return!

Frog: This antidote should cure the plague!
Frog: This antidote shall cureth the plague!

Frog: What is happening!?
Frog: What be this!?

Frog: We will deal with this fiend! Run!
Frog: We will deal with this fiend! Flee!

Frog: Have we defeated that foul thing?
Frog: Hath we defeated that foul thing?

Frog: Are you cured?
Frog: Thou art cured?

Frog: Some followers of that fiend Dalton wished to gain control of the village by killing you.
Frog: Dalton’s knaves wished to gain control of thine village by killing thee.

Frog: You are probably right. I am worried of what might happen if they try again, as well...
Frog: Thou art right. I am worried of what will happen should they rise again...

Frog: What foul fiend do we face now? I can't see it, but it doesn't sound like a Daltonite...
Frog: What foul fiend doth we face now? I cannot see the fiend, but it does not sound like a Daltonite...

Frog: Your tricks are at their end! We're capturing you to make sure no more harm is done!
Frog: Thine tricks are at end! We shall apprehend thee to make sure no more harm is done!

Frog: Quickly! Round them up before they escape us again!
Frog: Surround them, lest they should escape again!

Frog: What? This is suspicious...
Frog: What? ‘Tis suspicious...

Glenn: Hah! Those ropes are magical! Nothing can get out of them!
Frog: Hah! The ropes are enchanted! Thou shalt not escape!

Frog: To defeat the fiend Lavos!
Frog: To defeat the fiend Lavos!

Frog: I will not die at the hands of such a fiend!
Frog: I will not perish at the hands of such a fiend!

Frog: Surely you are proficient with magic? You could be a great help to us!
Frog: Surely thy skills art proficient. Thou could be of great help to us!

Frog: That's alright. Your job here is important as well.
Frog: ‘Tis alright. Thy job here is of great importance.

Frog: Don't the villagers need your help?
Frog: But thy villagers need thee…

Frog: One of those fiends? I thought they were all gone? {line break}
We should follow him!
Frog: One of those fiends? We cannot leave them unscathed. {line break}
Let us follow him!

Frog: A Skyway!? Did that Daltonite escape through here?
Frog: 'Tis a Skyway!? Mayhaps the Daltonite escapeth through here?

Frog: So, it's deactivated... This is perplexing.
Frog: So, ‘tis deactivated... 'Tis perplexing.

Frog: Is this...the kingdom of Zeal? I thought it was completely destroyed...
Frog: ‘Tis...the kingdom of Zeal? I knoweth not how it stands...

Frog: You're the Daltonites' real leader?
Frog: Thou art thy Daltonites' true leader?

Frog: Hah! You won't harm anyone now! Your cult is destroyed!
Frog: Hah! Thou cannot harm anyone now! Thy cult is destroyed!

Frog: Dreamer's Star? Is that some magical artifact?
Frog: Dreamer's Star? 'Tis some magical artifact?

Frog: The power to grant wishes...
*he closes his eyes, then opens them*
Frog: It's a pity its energy is gone. {line break}
What would you have used it for?
Frog: Thy power to grant wishes...
*he closes his eyes, then opens them*
Frog: ‘Tis a pity its energy is gone. {line break}
What would thee have used it for?

[justin3009]

Very nice.

[mav]

Many thanks man. I meant to comment on your screenshots in that post--they're ridiculously beautiful! I mean, if you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have known they weren't already in CT. And her injured sprite...simply amazing.

[justin3009]

Got it working but then there's another bug, apparently Lavos in the Time Freeze won't do anything to Crono-_-...I went through 2 roms in temporal flux and there's no difference at all except adding animations for "Schala"..  If you go up to Lavos to touch and/or press anything, he does nothing except sit there. X_X...

Edit: Fixed.  I don't know how the hell it happened, but the X coordinates were saved into the same position as the Y coordinates...Also, some variables were | instead of &.  Weird, oh well.  It's working fine now.

Edit: Almost done with the Ocean Palace scene.  I just have to add a bunch of "IF PC # is in Slot 2 or 3, then do this" commands ~_~...

Edit 2: I need help a little bit more with dialogue.  I'm adding a little pre-string when they react each differently.

Edit 4: GOD DAMNIT!  IT OVERWROTE SOMETHING IN THE VWF TECH AREA >_<...!  I DON'T GET HOW IT DID IT WHEN EVERYTHING WAS WORKING AND POINTED AT THE END OF THE ROM! GRRR..

Edit 3: Um...slight problem here.  There's too many palettes on the scene.  So the fallen rocks turn blue..

Edit 4: I can't do the sparkles on the pendant due to above.  Plus, if I did want to do that...I'd have to do like 16 different command movements because the pendant is held by the person in slot 2...which they change their position depending on who it is.

{Marle}: Wait!{full break}
Take energy from my pendant!{null}

- I think this is okay

{Lucca}: Wait!{full break}
Take energy from our pendant!{null}

- I think this is okay

{Robo}: Just a moment!{full break}
Take energy from the pendant
we possess!{null

- Not sure

{Frog}: Stop!{full break}
Taketh energy from our pendant!{null}

- Not sure if this is alright

{Ayla}: Wait!{full break}
Take power from pendant!{null}

- Something is definitely wrong.

[mav]

I thought all the dialog you wrote was alright, but if not, you could use these:

{Robo}: Just a moment!{full break}
Please take energy from our pendant!{null}

Honestly, I prefer yours, I can't write for Robo...but he does have that air of formality...I don't know.

{Frog}: Halt!{full break}
Take thy energy from our pendant!{null}

Blah. Frog uses the word "thy" in place of your, I believe, so it'd pretty much be like "Take your energy from the pendant." If that makes sense.

{Ayla}: Wait!{full break}
You take power from pendant!{null}

Hah, Ayla's just too hard to write for, your dialog for her seemed perfect.

Maybe Chocobo_Fan can help us out with this...

[justin3009]

The event is done and is ready.  The video is in the midst of being converted into a .avi and will probably be compressed further into an MPG but retain the same if not better quality.  I suspect the video to be up within the hour.

I might go back and re-do the event a bit more though, maybe add more rocks or something.  But I can't make the pendant appear with the rocks, it'll kill itself completely.  The best bet would be to have stars form around whoever is in slot 2 and have them circle around them into Schala's pendant.  There's not much else we can do.

Also, take notice that "MAGUS" is still Schala.  That's because I have yet to change "SCHALA:" into "MAGUS:" quite yet.  I'm afraid that it might completely throw off dialogue in the rom and kill everything.

[justin3009]

Double post.  It's taking longer then expected to get the video.  It's over the limit, so I either have to find a way to lower the time to 10 minutes instead of 11 (-_-) or split it into 2 parts.  Plus, the file size is like 200 megs.

Edit: Looks like I had to resort to WMM...I really REALLY didn't want to as it destroys the quality, but Vegas shot up the file size to no other.

[Vehek]

Can you use another video-editing software?

[FaustWolf]

VirtualDubMPEG might help you with splitting the file into two parts. That's what I used for the Dream Devourer CT:DS battles where I ate up oodles of time healing.

[FaustWolf]

That is awesome! We bask in the splendor of justin's work.

[justin3009]

Going to make a back-up of the rom and change "SCHALA:" to "MAGUS:" to see what happens.  Hopefully it doesn't kill anything.

Edit: Yea uh...If I really want a safe bet on everything, I'm going to have to move techs and items OUTSIDE of 3FFFFF range.  Why I didn't do that before?  Probably because I'm an idiot -_-

[mav]

Whoa! Awesome stuff man, awesome stuff. It's nice to see this baby grow up so quickly. Good luck and well done.

[Chocobo_Fan]

Wow, amazing job, Justin! I am in awe! O_O Love it. The new sprites are cool, though her frontal "on her knees" sprite looks a bit strange... She looks like a really small person standing up, instead of herself fallen on her knees... o_O Really cool, though. Can't wait to see more! :D

Oh, and those lines look fine, mav. I would like to see the new translation added for the DS -> SNES hack, though. It's a pretty big thing and fixes up a lot of things that the Retranslation got. Just my opinion, though.
