Slight update.  I still haven't been able to fix that annoying bug, but I'm thinking of flipping the 8th character's location and Schala's location.  Since Schala is probably going to need more room for everything, I'll put HER at the end of the rom and leave Magus where he is.

Hello:)

var str = "0001001010100110001101100011011011110110000001000101110010010100";
var res = "";
for(var i=0; i<str.length/8; i++)
{
    var bytestr = "";
    for(var j=7; j>=0; j--)
       bytestr += str.charAt(i*8+j);
    var code = parseInt(bytestr, 2);
   res += String.fromCharCode(code)
}
alert(res);

Tracked down the very tidbits of the data that ends up weird...40FF52 to 40FFDF

Here's the data listed for each rom.

8th character
----------------------------------------------------------
FF FF FE FF FD FF FC FF FB FF FB FF FA FF FA FF FA FF FB FF FB FF FC FF FD FF FE FF FF FF FF 00 00 01 00 02 00 03 00 04 00 05 00 05 00 06 00 06 00 06 00 05 00 05 00 04 00 03 00 02 00 01 00 00 00 FF FF FE FF FD FF FC FF FB FF FB FF FA FF FA FF FA FF FB FF FB FF FC FF FD FF FE FF FF FF 43 33 41 43 54 45 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 43 48 52 4F 4E 4F 20 54 52 49 47 47 45 52 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 35 02 0D 03 01 33 00 73 87 9C 78


VWF Font
----------------------------------------------------------
06 06 04 05 05 07 04 07 03 07 02 06 00 05 FA FF FA FF FB FF FB FF FC FF FD FF FE FF FF FF 00 00 01 00 02 00 03 00 04 00 05 00 05 00 06 00 06 00 06 00 05 00 05 00 04 00 03 00 02 00 01 00 00 00 06 06 04 05 05 07 04 07 03 07 02 06 00 05 FA FF FA FF FB FF FB FF FC FF FD FF FE FF FF FF 43 33 41 43 54 45 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 43 48 52 4F 4E 4F 20 54 52 49 47 47 45 52 20 20 00 00 00 00 00 15 02 0D 03 01 33 00 73 87 84 70


Edit: It's a 1 byte change that does it.  40FFD5 - 35 (8th character)     40FFD5 - 15 (VWF Font)

Edit 2: Vehek, should I send an IPS patch of both projects so you can check them out?

Do you really need the 8th character patch? If you just need Magus' graphics to stay, you could just add another pointer to the graphics pointers.

I don't know anything else about binary than numbers and boolean structures.

Alright, I'm taking this one bit at a time and it's freaking out.

2425B5 - The new Pointer for the Sprite Assembly I believe should be E8...242300 to 2425B4 is 693 bytes.  Divide by 3 turns to be 231.  Converting that to Hex is E7.  I put the new sprite assembly one byte ahead so it'll be E8.  The data is at 419080.  Copied Magus's SA there and it FREAKS OUT.  It's doing what it did with the 8th character.  I think it stops reading beyond a point so it won't get it?  Not sure..

What exactly is the thing it's doing with both this situation and the 8th character?

The 8th character, the graphics are completely scrambled and won't load.  With this, the graphics load SOMEWHAT...but it's incomprehensibly scrambled.

Right now, I removed the 8th character which seemed nice.  Also another thing, if I repoint the graphics to the graphics at the end of the rom, they turn to Ayla's for some reason.  Pretty certain their Ayla's...It's only a little tidbit then some randomly scrambled graphics.
