Is this possible?

[Aile~♥]

Actually, magnet the way I mentioned it would work extra-good in Co-op as well. Two people=twice the magnet range!

[weckar]

I didn't mean better than your idea, I meant better than in standard play

[Aile~♥]

I know. But you're right, reveal wouldn't really work in Co-op the way it's done now.

Edit: Also, would it be possible to import attack animations from other games into Golden Sun the Lost Age? Charon would probably enjoy knowing if that was possible. (Ivan casts Psycho Cut! (Isaac casts Leaf Blade!)

[Rolina]

Okay, new question:  Can you edit the size of text windows?  Such as, when you go to battle go to select a psynergy or summon, extending the width by a certain number of pixels.  This would help with stuff, like changing thunderhead back to thunderstorm (since it caused graphical errors in GS1 due to the size), and for allowing for Non-Elemental summoning (summons that use 1 of each type of djinni, for example).

As it stands now, Catastrophe takes up so much room with its name that you don't even have room for Summons that use more than two elements.  If you want to make a summon that uses 3 or 4 different elemental djinn, you cannot do it without making it look like crap.

Hello, I just thought of an idea, well, two actually.

In both Golden Sun games, the main characters are Venus adepts, and the first djinn you get are Venus djinn. I sense the favouritism that the developers left in the games. I was wondering, would it be possible to have Felix come in later in the game, and not be a main character. Maybe Alex kidnaps him or something. I was also wondering if the Venus djinn (Echo?) could be switched around with maybe with the Mars djinn in (Dekhan?) Plateau. The main character should be a fire user, since the final battle is on Mars Lighthouse. Besides, it would make more sense to people to be controlling a person who was closer to being neutral (friend or enemy of Isaac) after having played Golden Sun 1 than using Felix.

Maybe when I can edit sprites, I will make Felix become Jenna's sister... Two genders for each element.


Have a nice day.

[Rolina]

Oh, GAWD... Rule 63'd Felix... I've GOT to see this!

[Salanewt]

Oh, GAWD... Rule 63'd Felix... I've GOT to see this!

I apologize, but what do you mean by this? Rule 63'd?
Anyway, it is only an idea. Maybe Jenna can also learn Cruel Ruin as well... But only if she gets to level 80. I mean, her parents have it when they are a mutated dragon, why can't she?

EDIT: Maybe I will change the storyline so Saturos and Menardi decide to jump into the Beacon instead of falling in.
"Okay Menardi, it looks like we failed."
"I understand Saturos, we are failures. We should kill the pain by killing ourselves."
"Okay."
*They jump*
Isaac: "But you still have Felix, I think he loves you enough to stay with you."
Garet: "Hey! You got your voice back!"
Isaac: "Oh yeah! Ooh, a Mercury djinn! Lets catch it. Go Flint!"


Please have a nice day.

Rule 63:  For every male character, there is a female version of them (and visa versa)

Yes, that's Rule 63'd TWILIGHT PRINCESS LINK.

The internet:  Raeping your childhood since 1979.


Also, Jenna cannot learn Cruel Ruin.  Why?  Because according to the code, it's Venus Elemental SUMMON.  Yup, that and Outer Space are summons.

[Salanewt]

No, I know, but I just mean by hacking the psynergy lists, and maybe changing one psynergy to any move, even if learned by an enemy.

Oh cool, so that is what rule 63 is... I think I like that picture of female link... Lol.

Well, have a nice day.
 

[Rolina]

Cruel Ruin is NOT a psynergy though.  And until we have a summon editor, you cannot change it to act like one.  It's a summon, doing summon type damage (base damage +HP% damage).  However...

That doesn't say you can't make it a summonable ability.  You can't do it now in the present form of the editor, but once we get a summon editor, we'll be able to pull it off.

[Salanewt]

Oh yeah, I should have clarified a tiny bit though... I know that it is a summon, but it can be used similarily to a psynergy if you hack it in. However, I am looking forward to the summon editor.


Have a nice day.

[Atrius (He/They)]

Salanewt, this topic is for discussing features that should be in the editor, not how you'd like the game to be edited.


Role, editing the size of windows is something that would go under code patches

Quite late for this one, but JamieTheFlameUser, editing attack animations at all looks like it's going to be very tricky.  From the looks of things so far they're coded into the game.

[Salanewt]

Oh, sorry for getting off topic there, anyway...

I think you should have a warp/world map editor.

The warp editor would work for doors, where you go when you enter a certain area.

Have a nice day.
 

[Aile~♥]

That could be rather interesting. You go in a door to a house in Prox, and appear just outside of Venus Lighthouse, like at the very beginning of the game. That could cause some major glitches. For one, how would you leave? There is an event that stops you from leaving towards Lalivero, and an event that stops you from leaving towards the Suhalla Desert. And I don't know that Idejima even exists after the beginning bit, or if the event can be repeated.

[Salanewt]

Yeah, true enough... Unless Idejima floats back into place, and the whole tidal wave scene happens again... I would hate to be at the beginning and have to start over again, and yet it would be funny if I were to have Peirs with me.

I just thought of something else... Would I control Felix there, or Jenna?

Have a nice day.


P.S. If you are planning on a warp edit, then there might be other specialized programs with coding that enables warp editing. Advance map for pokemon games might work Atrius, if you want to try map or warp editing.

[Aile~♥]

I'd imagine you'd control Felix, because there would be no event to cause the game to switch to Jenna. Also, what would happen with the code after the tidal wave? Is it a "switch character 1 with character 2" sort of thing, or is it a "control character 2" sort of thing.

[Salanewt]

I do not know, but I wish I did. It would be even funnier if you teleport into the first room of the game, the one in the lighthouse.

Have a nice day.
 

[Aile~♥]

When you teleport to the beginning, you'd still be Felix. But if the event repeated and it switched the characters, you'd be Jenna for the rest of the game! Also, if you hadn't been to Mars Lighthouse and gotten the Teleport Lapis, you wouldn't be able to get anywhere, because the boat would be outside Prox! Unless you used the "return to last sanctum" trick, that is.

[Salanewt]

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Unless you dock the boat on an accessible shore, then you do not need to return to a sanctum. By the way, it would be cool to be able to use Jenna for the whole game... I wonder though, would it switch the faces when talking or no?

However, I am not sure if it would switch the characters, because jenna would be in the cutscene, and Felix would miraculously wind up on the shore with Sheba.

Have a nice day.
 

[Aile~♥]

Because of the way they do that scene, I think Jenna would still show up as your character. I think that because your party doesn't split up for it. Instead what happens is the camera zooms in from way far above. Then when you wake up as Felix, the character change code happens, which could cause you to play as Jenna forever.
