Chrono Trigger??

[JasAce5]

in case none of you guys have ever visited the chrono compendium, there was a program talked about on the website that was released on another website, that allows you to modify snes roms.

Temporal Flux Released
--ZeaLitY 11:34, 24 Nov 2004 (CST)
Temporal Flux is the ultimate editor for Chrono Trigger. Here are Evil Peer's words, from board.acmlm.org/thread.php?id=8041

~ Now comes the part where I make many of you very happy and a few of you very sad. You see, the teaser patch was just a big swerve. Temporal Flux is not a ROM hack at all.

Temporal Flux is an editor.

You've tried my other programs and think they rock? You ain't seen nothing yet.

I could sit here all day and list all the features this program has, but I figure you would rather just get the bleeping thing. The boards get this first. It will be posted to Zophar's front page sometime Friday.

This program requires the .NET Framework v1.1 which is available from Windows Update and elsewhere on Microsoft's website.

And Chickenlump has written up a manual that covers some of the basics.

I have to give some special thanks to Chickenlump and JLukas. Without them, Temporal Flux would only be about half as far along as it is now.

Finally, there are some ways you can help the further development of this editor. Layer 3 tiles are not displayed or editable in this version, mostly because I do not know how to render them on top of the other tiles. And a number of Location Event commands are not fully decoded, so if you can figure some of that out, it would be a big help.

What's to come? Overworld Event and (hopefully) Layer 3 editing are scheduled for the next version. The eventual goal is to be able to edit everything (though it will probably be some time before TF is capable of that ).

Bug reports and suggestions are always welcome. If you find that you like this program so much you would like to thank me in some manner, nothing says "thank you" quite like a Donation (https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=michaelspringer%40email.com&item_name=Temporal+Flux+Software+Donation&item_number=Temporal+Flux&no_shipping=1&tax=0¤cy_code=USD). ~

I've begun work on a preliminary plot, and Claado Shou is doing sprites. The Chrono Compendium can hopefully take full advantage of this editor and release a modification.

anyway, as i was saying, i thought it would be great to take the chrono trigger pre release, and the final version, and combine the two. unfortuneately, this is not possible, since there is no way to extract the levels from the pre release. if there was a way, i would stop all the projects i am currently doing for other games and just work on making CT in its truest form.

but, all i can do now is sit back, wish, and dream.

but do you think square-enix would think of doing something so smart? nope. darn money grabbers.

Well, although you can't extract the levels (from CT pre-release) and all the stuff associated with them, you could do it the hard way. You could play the CT-beta ROM, and get loads of screenshots, and then edit those to be used/imported into the CT-final ROM. Then, you'd have lots and lots of coding and rebuilding to do.

The other problem you'll run into is that the CT-beta wasn't finished, so you'd end up makeing a lot of stuff up so that it would actually fit the "flow" of CT.

Basically, while I think such and idea would be neat, I find it impractical. Who knows though. Maybe someone with lots of free time, who is a good storyteller, a good programmer, and a big fan of CT would actually go through with it. Anyway, yah, that would be cool, and it's certainly possible (for all I know), just not likely. Mouser X over and out.

[JasAce5]

well i wouldnt be making too much stuff up, since most of the places are obvious of what they were planning. but yeah, it would take a lot of work and good programming skills. i think ill wait until he improves on his program before starting.

[ZeaLitY]

Actually, Chickenlump mentioned that he did try to port some level data from the Prerelease with some success, but it was really rough. I supose eventually they'll figure it out, but editing the final version does take precedence at the moment.

I used a editor to modify the monster a tad be stronger I wanted a challenge xD level editing could go perfect to makeing more monsters

[DarkHawk]

If you would like the address to a good site for getting different difficulty versions of the games send me a message through the service on here, and i'll send the address.

[chronoct]

Nah Don't need it I'll use the temporal flux program I can make the game real intresting from there and mabye make some new stuff to add. this is going to be neat when its finished.

[DarkHawk]

ok, when you've finished making the different versions, you should send me a copy.
just ask and I'll give you my email.

;)Is it going to be on Xbox 360 also

[Mouser X]

I'm not entirely sure what that question is geared toward. However, I'm fairly certain the answer is a big, resounding, NO. Temperal Flux is a ROM editor that relies heavily on the Windows OS. If your question was in referance to UCT2, the answer is still NO. I'm pretty sure the dev team doesn't have a 360 dev kit. If you're refering to CT itself, get an emulator, modify the ROM on your Windows PC, and run CT on an emulator on your X360 (when that can be done, no idea).

Basically, no matter what the question refered to, the answer is NO. It's not going to happen anytime soon, that's for sure. Mouser X over and out.

[DarkHawk]

Wow I really don't know what to make of that question either.. I think the person must have just found this site somewhere and posted without reading previous posts.

ohwell it happens.
