My somewhat odd hack

[Atrius (He/They)]

Alright, let's try to figure out this class system error so I can see if it's something I need to fix in the editor, or what.

To help me out for starters I would like a copy of your save file where you're experiencing the error, Jamie, and the MD5 checksum of both you, and Role's original unmodified files of The Lost Age.  (You can use this program to calculate it, use the Unicode version)

[Aile~♥]

Alright, first thing: I also cannot get ABILITIES to change in-game, despite the changes showing up in the editor.

Also, MD5 checksum of WHAT? The save file? The game itself?

[Atrius (He/They)]

I have a feeling there's a possibility that may be related to the other problems, I'll look into it either way.

The MD5 checksum of your original unhacked copy of The Lost Age itself.

[Aile~♥]

Is it OK to post it in the topic, or do I need to PM you?

[Atrius (He/They)]

An MD5 checksum is just a string of characters to check if files are identical or not, there's no problem posting it here.

489C76FC7DE7B5B930345B96C0BB95EE <there it is.

And as for the save file, can I post it here? It would be difficult to send it in PM (because there's no "attach" option for PMs), unless I uploaded it somewhere, which would be potentially even more risky.

[Atrius (He/They)]

The only thing you really can't post are commercial ROM files themselves, or specific information on how to obtain them.  Yes save files are fine.

*see attached* V Note: Yes it is just a save file.

[Atrius (He/They)]

First thing I notice is that your copy of the game is different from mine.  After getting my hands on yours, and inspecting the differences I've determined that a custom script was inserted into it that's executed before the game boots.  I'm not certain what the purpose of the script is, but none of the data in the game has been altered so I doubt it's contributing to the problems.

After putting all of Sheba's Djinni to stand by, and setting them all again the errors seem to have fixed themselves, are you sure you reset her class properly after making edits?

[Aile~♥]

I have reset her class properly, I've done it several times, the errors still haven't fixed themselves.

[Atrius (He/They)]

Would you mind stepping me through what exactly you did so I can see if I can duplicate the results?

[Aile~♥]

Well, first I put the abilities in the order learned, then I decided to put them in the right order, but in doing so I had duplicates of some abilities at times.

[Atrius (He/They)]

... And so far as resetting Sheba's class, but still getting the errors?

[Aile~♥]

What do you mean by "resetting"? If what you mean is Djinn, I standby'd and then reset every djinni on Sheba, and tried the same on Jenna. It didn't work, when I set the Djinn back, she still had duplicate Psynergy, and the duplicates were the same as before.

[Atrius (He/They)]

Apparently you gave me the wrong save file then, Jenna doesn't have any duplicate Psynergy.

[Aile~♥]

Jenna doesn't have duplicates, but they are all in the wrong order.

[Atrius (He/They)]

*sets all of her djinni to standby at the same time, then sets them all again*

Fixed it.  I assume you are using the last version of the patch you uploaded applied to the same copy of TLA you gave me the MD5 hash for?

[Aile~♥]

Yes I am. So using Standby All/Set All works? Ok I'll try that.

Edit: Strange, I tried that, didn't work for me.

I've also started a new game on that save which also didn't work, still has the glitchy duplicates.

[Atrius (He/They)]

Heh, hah hah.

I think I see whats going on.  Do this for me, in VBA go to Options > Emulator, make sure that "Automatic IPS patching is not checked, then reload the ROM file (don't just reset the emulator, completely reopen the ROM file through the file menu), and try resetting their classes again.

[Aile~♥]

That did it! Thanks!

Now I just feel stupid. XD

Yippy!
