Final Fantasy VI: Stand Guard

Final Fantasy VI: Stand Guard! v6.3.2
-----------------------------------
By Spooniest, made using
FF3usME 6.70 (Lord J et al),
Translhextion, (Januschan)
LunarIPS, (FuSoYa’s Niche)
yy-chr, (YY)
and SnesTool (The M.C.A.)

Welcome to Stand Guard.

Installation
------------
I recommend using Tush and LunarIPS to apply the patch. This patch is for a headered rom, so use tush to add a header if you don't have one, and you should be fine. Tush will tell you if you have a header or not when you load your file into it. Locate these utilities in the RHDN Utilities section.

More information can be found at romhacking.net, but I bet you knew that.

VERSION HISTORY
---------------

v6.3.2

- A space has been added after Kefka's line "Emperor Gestahl was right!" in the Big Battle Captions.

- The NPC dialogue featuring the line "Try humiliating them by steal their clothes!" has been edited to remove a line overflow error.

- Cait Sith's line in Terra's Eidolon World Flashback has been edited to remove a similar line overflow error.

- The dialogue before Locke and Celes fight Tunnel Armor has been brought up to speed with the GBA version.

v6.3.1

- Imperial banquet choice now correctly displays the word gone only once. How long has that been there?

I'd have asked someone to edit it but no one can stand me, imagine that.

v6.3

- Ghost in Zozo and later Narshe now reports correctly that MP+50% is a possible bonus.

Can I please stop now, self?

v6.2

- RHDN Staff requested hash info for the ROM you are supposed to use. I provided it. Here it is, by the way:

CRC32:              D184D919
MD5:                4CDFC79B 44CD6D53 2DC6631A 5C762094
SHA1:               258BCBC5 B7BCC250 98BF598C 4FF2AA6A C00FDE16

And, yes there is exactly one namecode call overflow possibility fixed. Don't judge me.

v6.1

- Wouldn't you know it, I missed a 'Banan' in the Big Battle Captions. A few other fixes. Character names are now properly cased by default.

For old time's sake. When I first submitted it I was submitting corrections for the next 5 hours or so until the staff contacted me and 'reeducated' me, ^_^ fun times.

v6.0

- Overhaul of the text, removal of racy language, referential humor, reversion of character names to Woolsey (with the exception of Sean and Dean), reformatting of the text to provide more freedom in renaming characters, toning down of alcohol references.

Also, the 'Sliding Dash' Fix was added.

v5.2

- A couple of minor text bug fixes, finally updated the Installation instructions because OH MY GOD I went years without realizing they were wrong.

v5.1

- A few minor text bug fixes.

v5.0

- The font has been changed to a condensed
version of the original game's font. The
original font has two pixels of space after
every letter. This has been reduced to one
pixel of space. The script had to be
re-edited for this to work. Cid's last name
is now mentioned. The Kappa Armor is now
the Reed Cloak.

v4.0

- Total text reformat, a touch of editing
and a new item

v3.1

- Corrected a few typos. "ALBROOK" is now
correctly, "ALBURG," things of that nature.

v3.0
- Restarted from the ground up, due to the fact
that it escaped my notice that the community
uses Final Fantasy III v1.0 as something of a
standard. I felt like that guy in the Oxy
commercial whose friends are all arguing about
who has to tell him he has zits. Oh well.

Work began at 9 am central on 20 Sept 2011.
The hacking took place between 9 am and 8 pm,
and the playtesting took the rest of the
month. Submitted on 1 Oct 2001.

Credits
-------
vivify93 re-edited the font for me, at one
point, and notified me that I ought to be 
using verison 1.0 as my base, rather than 
1.1.

I did most of everything else, with of
course the exception of making the many
patches that went into it, listed above
in version history.

Remember, you need a copy of the ROM image
for Final Fantasy III US v1.0 (HEADERED) 
and a copy of Tush and LunarIPS to apply
properly. I haven't the slightest idea
where you might get a rom, but Tush and
LunarIPS are available in RHDN's
"Utilities" section.
