FFVI cosmetic hacks; anyone remember these?
« on: June 16, 2009, 05:01:18 AM »
Some time ago, I found a website that had some hacks that edited a few graphic tiles in FFVI--basically for all versions.

I've Googled and I've Googled, yet I can't seem to find it again. It wasn't Drakkhen's site, nor was it ZED's, Lord J's, Terii Senshi's, or Assassin's. I wish I would've saved the URL. :sad: All I remember is that it was a white-text-on-black-background website with some sort of plain porportional font.

Do you guys know what I'm talking about?

I can't think of anything, do you remember exactly what these patches changed? I was going to say hit Mnrogar's links section, since he has links to pretty much every FF6 hacking site in existence, but it seems just about everything there is dead now. I suppose you could grab the urls and search archive.org, but that usually doesn't work too well for smaller, mostly unknown sites.

I can really only remember one. It was supposed to change a tile by the secret entrace Locke shows Terra after the Narshe Guards and Megalodoths vs. Locke and the Moogles battle, to the left of the Adventurer's School. It made a tile near the heap of mountains smoother looking.

I think I got there from GameFAQs, but I think it was before archiving.

EDIT: OK, there were two left off the list I made up there (obviously not intentionally). First was Imzog, and obviously he doesn't have what I'm looking for, but I noticed he has a link to NovaliaSpirit's website. Hearing that name makes me think it had to have been his site I got these patches from.

However, I try to go to the website and it's ka-dead. Oh well. :biggs:

While I'm here, do you guys still have that list of FFVI bugs hosted at Slick Productions? I'm bored and I need a good read. :happy:

Strange, Novalia's page was up not too long ago, I grabbed his tables for that text exporter batch file since they're very user friendly compared to the one I use for Pandora's Box (which is very typing friendly). I don't remember him having any graphics fixing patches though. Hopefully he's just redoing his index and will have it back up soon.

Here's the bug topic: http://mnrogar.slickproductions.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=325

The four pages never went away, though some concern has been raised about their existence and organization.

119 bugs fixed and counting.

'Kay, yeah, it was Novalia's website.

I don't need this topic now. :happy: Thanks for the help, guys.
