I was just waiting (im)patiently for an update to the pack because you guys seem to have done so much little things over those last couple of pages and I didn't want to pick them all up one by one... and yeah, PNG would be the death of my ol' machine.
I'll take these happily ^^

No problem at all. The reason for the website is so anyone can use them now that has an immediate need for them, so I'll probably toss the DDS download on there too when I finish Agniratha (and update periodically with new maps). And I don't blame you for trying to collect together all the material that lands on this board, even I have trouble trying to keep track of it all lol.

Edit: You mentioning Satorl Marsh made me notice something off about the pond near Lacus Swamp, so thanks haha. Some of the ground around the edge of the southern border is missing. I recall fixing this before, but I must not have actually saved it.

Agniratha doesn't seem to have a lot of IDs compared to other places. Maybe they cut and flipped the IDs like you did with the map :p

[Bighead]

Lol, maybe they are finally starting to be rehashed from earlier levels. Unfortunately my copy and flip didn't work as well on the top floor, the southern part of the map is somewhat different than the north part. I'm just about done with it though, maybe 20-30 more minutes give or take.

[frozenwings]

That sucks about the flip. But good that you're almost done. I've just been doing the first 5 minutes of the zone (skipping cutscenes) over and over again to get dumps. So at this rate you'll probably be done before I actually start "questing".

I did however find some level down codes for my NG+ full clear (sigh, still another run before that happens), hopefully they work. I want to keep my affinity coins and the final monado for end game super boss killing, however I didn't want to be super OP through out the "regular" game. So I'll probably reset my levels and just not use skill links until end game so I shouldn't be too OP. Probably use an XP reduction code too. I'm not so much of a masochist as you, so maybe 50%.

[Bighead]

I compiled together a bunch before and put it into one master cheat. The only thing not included in the "Big Cheat" is the coins. I tested it and it seems to take care of everything. You just have to activate it once, save your game, and turn it off.

That's pretty handy; yeah I see all the level resets codes I have in there. What else is included in the big cheat? Skill trees and affinity? I don't want it to like blow up my game :p. Do I get to keep my monado and my gem crafting thing?

Yeah all it does is reset everything to lvl 1 or the lowest number except affinity coins, it doesn't take any items or nothing like that. I kept those seperate, and I only found them for everyone other than shulk/reyn. I can't remember everything that it resets, but I know I was very selective to make sure it was like starting the game over again only on NG+. You can test it on your current file to see everything that resets.

Edit: Masochist LOL. It was rather painful in some areas to grind to where I should be, but it was really fun it's like playing the game on hard mode. I won't lie I did use the cheat so that every piece of gear has max gem sockets to help try to counter how weak I was compared to the content. I think 25% might be a little too much, maybe 30-35%. And I did every single quest along the way and still fell under some areas, but most of the game it seemed about perfect with the gem socket cheat.

[frozenwings]

Yeah, I'll keep it handy and just test it out at the start of my NG+.

Also, did you get my PM earlier with the updated zip files?

[Bighead]

Yeah, but I suspect it's not the last.

So glad I'm done with it. Now I get to cook and eat spaghetti and meatballs.

[frozenwings]

Niiiiiiiice. Those look so good, especially since I've been looking at those maps for the past few hours. I'm about to batch, going to use those in my next session.

But, I'm going to do a backtrack run since after Agniratha we get some... changes. So. Want to make sure I have everything now.

Enjoy your celebratory spaghetti. I made beef stew to offset the horrible from earlier. I'm contemplating another bowl before the backtracking hell trap. The amount of duplicate textures is depressing.
