@eniko you colorize the dialogue boxes for every character?!

Did you wake up and decide "I WANT TO MAKE MORE WORK FOR FOONE IF THAT PUNK EVER TRIES TO PUT MY GAME IN THE GENERATOR!" :)

@foone sorry! >_> the dialog box palettes are in a human readable file at least? :'D

eniko , vor 25 Tagen

@foone there's gonna be an NPC one that doesn't have a palette entry cause it uses the colors of the character for the borders while having a grey background

sitting here wondering if i've ever actually fully completed any final fantasy game and uhh

... i dont think i've finished literally a single one despite having played 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, crisis core, tactics, and tactics advance

i've gotten to the end in 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 but something always happened that stopped me from beating the final boss. my save corrupted in 5, idk wtf happened in 6, i recall getting frustrated in 7 and 8, and in 10 i decided to get all the ultimate weapons and quit playing in disgust after finally beating the stupid chocobo race

weird thing to realize

i did, however, complete secret of mana, secret of evermore, chrono trigger, and breath of fire 2

anyway if you enjoyed the mechanics of the job system in final fantasy 5 then you should definitely check out my roguelike midboss, where possessed enemies function like jobs. and oh look, its on sale on steam right now! how fortuitous! https://store.steampowered.com/app/561740/MidBoss/

this was an excellent segue into promoting my stuff. i am good at marketing

a pox on whoever came up with the fucking byte order mark

eniko OP , vor einem Monat

so we have several google docs for the script of kitsune tails. i download them as txt files, and a batch file concatenates them with the type command. then i feed the concatenated full script to our script tool

anyway turns out when you download txt files from google docs they stick a fucking byte order mark in em. so concatenating them just sticks random BOMs all through your document. i never noticed because of a fluke of the tool

so anyway now i've added code to strip BOMs from the start of any line but jesus christ this is why there should not be byte order marks, ever, and if your software is putting them into plaintext files in this, the year of our lord 2024 then you deserve to get reality checked right into the pavement

the world needs more recreational programming.
like, was this the most optimal or elegant way to code this?

no, but it was the most fun to write.

eniko , vor 2 Monaten

@foone i think recreational programming is a big part of the appeal of programming language development for me. not "what would be the one language to rule them all" but "what would be a good language to code stuff in for fun"
