Oh hey, COPE is now CORE. :P

Quest global flags are 32 bits wide, but usually you're storing bitflags or small counters that use 7-16 bits, so a single flag can carry data for multiple quests. For instance, Lucky Coins use 7 bits, and you must always ensure that the player never gets more than 100 (127), or else you'll...

If you change the time interval on HP/TP/PB units to 0, you create a portable Healing Ring. ;)

The other problem with VMT is it doesn't support all texture formats. Different textures use different formats (RGB565, ARGB1555, ARGB4444), but VMT won't let you pick the one you want. There are tools for PVR textures to select the right colour and VQ formats for DC, but I haven't found a good...

You have to perform the max check before you store the value in the flag, so you don't clobber flag data used by other quests.

JP GC still has it. Most likely Nintendo of America forced Sega to change it. Usually, lowercase letter L is used. You can FSOD yourself by writing a Simple Mail or Guild Card comment with the field full of l's. It's fixed in Ver.2. This still works in Ver.2, but the Quick Menu is used...

It sounds like an overflow bug, which is easily fixed by adding a (if x > max, x = max) check.

Putting high resolution textures into the client tends to make BB crash. It also tends to look ugly, because Sega flips floor textures to make the floor look more irregular. With higher teture detail, the seams between mirrored textures become much more obvious.

The speech bubble limit is not arbitrary. Speech bubbles with more than 2 lines quickly fill the screen and prevent you from seeing anything when multiple people talk. Some people use Dotum to approximate the DC/GC font.

No. PSO item descriptions are full of lies. Get used it.

You must add a significant amount of new assembly in addition to modifying the drop files.

No. You can never create Mags in quests without compromises.

It's not really a "bug". Sega removed the code to read the second bonus on items in GC and did not bother to remove the second bonus data from the PMT file. Since the code is completely gone and not broken, it seems like it was an intentional change from when Sega updated the PMT format.

V801 breaks ALL casting animations. Instead of speeding them up the way a Battle unit does, it merely chops off the last several frames of the animation, so all animations end early. It's such a gross unit. :mad:

This is a common misconception. 210: Rifle 170: Handgun 150: Needle 130: Shot 090: Mechgun Needles actually have less than Handgun range on V1/2. They're still horribly broken, though.

That shouldn't be possible. The server tells the client what the Internet Time is when you log on. You can only manipulate Heaven Punisher when you play offline.

Yes, if you play a timed quest at 2 AM and have Windows set to adjust the clock for DST, you will instantly lose an hour on the quest clock when Windows changes your time zone.

Each message has its own line with <cr> for newlines. You can make the message longer and add <cr> to wrap it, but you cannot add any new messages.

Qedit has an option to export just the text, but then you lose the context of which NPC says which line or whether it's some kind of message banner. The BB client text is in the unitxt file.

I believe the intention is to create an official mode based around this concept, in which case that command would be disabled.
