Here's a video showing off what Ive done with the hack, I'm very excited about this.

The Speed shoes and the ability to play as another character were all figured out by Mauron.

Maybe swap the running and idle animations for the frog.

That looks great! Love the area you made for it too :3

Ya, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks

As for updates Choras is mostly mapped out just gotta set up the events.

After that I want to try to allow early recruiting of Ayla.

The speed shoes are a blast to play with, they can outrun the conveyor belts in the factory and the wind on Death Peak.

[XModxGodX]

Wait I thought the wind was an event trigger or whatever.

[ThegreatBen]

You're right it is a scripted event, and if it catches you it will still blow you off the mountain.
Now however the party can run fast enough that they can get to the next screen before the wind starts blowing.

Once the MSU with video stuff is finalized and fully integrated, would integrating that patch with effective skips the in game duplication of actions be worth a go?  Like no need to show frog splitting the mountainside twice, so the MSU enabled cutscene would effectively replace in the in game scene to keep things more consistent in the flow.

[ThegreatBen]

Qwertymodo has been fairly quiet lately but if the videos do make it in I will fix it so they replace the existing scene.

For some reason that reminded me that I still want to have the whole party present and participating in the post Mountain of Woe scene and the Time egg scene FFX style, with the better understanding I have of palettes now it should be doable.

Woah, it's great to see this hack is still being worked on in order to iron out all the small polish issues. For now I've been sticking to Chronosplit's bugfix+uncensoring patch, but once this hack has reached a state in which it will feel nicely polished, I'll certainly give it a spin.

Oh that makes me think, is this hack compatible with Chronosplit's patch, or does it include the fixes/uncensoring in some way?

[ThegreatBen]

Unfortunately it isn't compatible, but Chronosplit was cool enough to give me a list of some of the more glaring Tex errors.

This project has really slowed down right now, I don't have much left do for 2.0.

The newest addition was I added a second working arcade machine to Medina 1999.

[pleasejust]

I think if you combined this with bugfixes + uncensored, it would be the ultimate CT experience.

Looks awesome!

However, if I may make one minor suggestion: I believe that the running animation for the Amphibite (frog monster) might look better if it was animated. Perhaps adding the standard left and right hopping animation when it's normally standing still would look good when it's running if it were accelerated. When I mean is doubling the speed of its left and right hopping pattern when it's running forward in the arcade mini-game. This way, it would look like it's actually running/hopping.

[ThegreatBen]

Thanks for the continued interest guys, sadly since the weather has warmed up I've had almost zero time for this project.

I'm not sure about changing the running animation for the frog without screwing up its other ones.

[Vehek]

The problem is that walking/running animations are automatically selected by the game engine, not something that can be set by event code. You might be able to create a new animation set and assign it to an empty NPC slot with the frog's other graphics. It would depend on whether the small amount of free space after the regular animation data is still free, and enough for however many animations it will need to do. (And if the game does properly load additional animation data pointers.)

Hey there, all these modifications seem very interesting.

I don't know the original game very well (started it only recently), so I didn't want to look too close at your work to avoid spoiling myself, but I kept checking back this thread, lol.

Nice work, keep at it, it is very promising, and like everyone said, swapping idle and running anim would work fine if you can pull it.

Enjoy the weather !

Finally had some time to work on this this morning, Proto Dome 1999 is done meaning all the maps are finished.

Still gotta and NPCs and finish up my quest and it's done.

I'll play around with the frog animations and if I find one that works I'll make a custom frog with it.

[ThegreatBen]

Proto Dome 1999 is done, Choras needs a few NPCs and I gotta finish the last stage of my big quest and it's done.

It's in the home stretch now.

Good evening. First time posting here,

I've been playing version 1.3 and I've been loving the hack and the changes, especially to 1999 A.D., as others have mentioned.I know previous posts have mentioned that certain reptites can be saved, and my first playthrough resulted in no survivors in the village. So 2nd playthrough I made it a point to talk to every npc on the 65m BC map after every story event. I even tried to go back after making it to the Throne Room in the Tyranno Lair in case that yielded something, but I haven't noticed any dialogue differences and everyone still dies upon completing the Tyranno Lair, so unsure which reptites get saved and how.

However, I've noticed a strange glitch with frog in The Reptite Village. If he's your third party member, you can actually talk to him in any of the huts and he says 'we are...not of this time.'  A text box then comes up and says 'Well now that doesn't bode well for us now does it.'   Finally, a text box is yielded that says 'Me no understand, we smash Reptite now?' comes up. Then Frog will go ape (pun intended) and turn into a copy of Ayla that has collision. I had to reset the first time this happened because my lead member was completely stuck inside Ayla.

I'm unsure if this dialogue sequence is the key to a cutscene puzzle that will save the reptites that people have mentioned, but if it is, it doesn't seem to be working correctly on my ROM. Unsure if this was fixed in the 1.4 version.  I have a sequence of images below detailing the glitch.

This glitch only seems to happen if Frog is your third party member. Nothing happens with any other character as party member 3.

Thank you again for your work on this project.
