Sorry everyone. I had a DERP moment and put the wrong files up. They didn't have all of the mentioned changes, and were missing the new SDAT for the music. I also got a chance to fix what I couldn't before, jewels now swapped for hearts again, and subweapons from bloodlines are re-implemented. Sorry Redpack, I wasn't trying to take over or anything. I just finally happened upon some free time at the PC. The previous mentioned changes are now present, as well as a Third file, which replaces Portraits with those from the Portrait of Elegance Hack, replaces Richter with Sonia (due to her being mentioned quite a bit in this hack), and replaces Young Maria with Carrie from CV64LoD, and Changes Axe Armor to silver instead of blue. No more freezing up, Brauner Portrait is fixed, file size reduced. Successful clean port! Thanks to Kainreaver for the correct version freespace overlay. Here are the correct files. CVPOBL Clean Fix CVPOBL Clean Fix SW CVPOBL Clean Fix SW AltAlright! Thanks one more time, and relax bro, I know what it's like when we finally got some free time, it's a shame I don't have much of it now, but I'm going to test the Roms right now!

Kain pointed out a couple of weapon placements that were incorrect. I have fixed them. Undulating Whip can be found in 13th Street. Tome of Legend is in Burnt Paradise. CVPOBL Clean CVPOBL SW CVPOBL SW Alt Good to know, i already tested the roms and Oh Boi! let's get to it. First of all, BRAUNER'S PORTRAIT IS REALLY BACK! and my girl Charlotte has the updates from the SW Alt, Yes! I see that John's jacket and Sonia's coat are rebalanced that's great, also Undulating Whip and Tome of Legend have new pickup sprites, i liked them better so it's gonna be it but i liked more the Tome of Legend pickup sprite from the SW Alt, a little faster slide has been put, i must say, it's in the perfect speed and longevity, very appreciated PS: all the skeletons have been recolored to the BL skeletons palette! awesome! SW: Has the super far and fast slide, has the portrait of elegance hack into, the two new armors are a little more Op, Anyone who wants a little extra will really like this hack, I just think it's not really my type haha, but is just personal taste, I don't like Portrait of Elegance that much and some other things, but it's not to change anything, just saying, anyway whoever wants to have fun with this one will not regret it. SW Alt: Don't make much sense for Sonia and carrie be there but hey it's a gameplay extra! it's not to take seriously, you just play it and have fun! very appreciated, we can make this one be a third patch. i would say the Hack is Perfect! what you say StarWyvern? Now the last thing to fix is the incorrect palette for the orb and etc. i still haven't got a reply from TheLv, but now i know that KainReaver can do the Free space overlay, can you do it for us Kain? this is the thing to import: Gfx.zip Would be a great help for us.

Its a stupid question but what does SW and SW Alt mean?? If you read or follow this threads from page one, you will understand what that means. FYI this rom hack is still work in progress, which means the rom mods owner and the gangs who is working on it will discussing/working/adding/fixing the hack contents in this threads. So you will see a multiple roms being posted here for testing purposes. And SW means "StarWyvern" one of the gangs who is working on this hack. The modified hack rom file with changes just for his personal amusement. Bruh chill, was just asking what the abrev. Meant. I know english so no need to be rude and explain what work in progress meant. Also ive been following this post far longer than you have, but thanks for clearing up who is who and what is what. Just wanted to clear it all up since not everyone has the time like you to be updated on every sigle post also the clarification is for the "new" people who will just look at the DL link and to not be confused why there are so many variations.

All sounds good. BTW I am having a small issue with a bug I keep encountering randomly. I just want to know if anyone else has the same issue. Every once in a while the game will freeze/crash when I try to enter a warp point. It doesn't happen all of the time, and can happen at any warp point, but also might not at the same warp point. Of course this might be an issue with hardware, as I am playing them on an actual DS Lite using and R4 Gold Cart. Let me know if anyone else has this issue. Also when completing the Ghost of the Desert quest, the completion notification does not go away until I go into the pause menu and go back out. It even stays when changing areas. As for the Boss orb, color on latest is fine for me. And the overlay is already in all of the new versions. All you have to do is put in the GFX. If it won't let you, then there is no more free space left.

If it won't let you, then there is no more free space left. so we'll have to leave the palette as it is, for before i tried to put the new palette and gfx with the roms i tested today, and it didn't work, and it's like you said if it doesn't work it's because there's no more space available . so in that case what do you think? let's post the hack?

Sounds good to me. So long as everything is working good. BTW I don't think the fast slide is in the SW Alt version (the third patch). check for me. If not just open it in DSVania and in the player editor, change slide force of all characters to 8000. Walk speed should be 2000.

Cool. Let me know if the volume of any song is off as well. If you find one, tell me which song by area and if it is too high or too low. Personally, I might lower the volume of Boss A (discolored wall) just a bit. Or do you think it being a bit louder makes a creepy boss-like impact?

YO. lol. I noticed some missing or incorrect animations for a few of the newly added skills. I have updated ALL of the animations of ALL characters to reflect the new changes better. If you are going to give them all a full playthrough, use these new ones instead. All characters can now do all animations that were previously locked. All characters can now slide, slide jump, jumpkick, super jump, smash head, backflip, and combo attack. The new animations are simply pre-existing ones that had not been implemented. They are not perfect, but I think they work pretty well. If you are planning to put this up on RHDN, it was a necessary change. Hopefully there won't be a need for any more changes, say for a few voluming issues with music. Let me know when you are done. Gonna play through my SW Alt in the meantime, just so you will have one less one to worry about. Updated files here: CVPOBL CVPOBLSW CVPOBLSW Alt

So, I found some issues with the new anims. Certain combos (like for VK and Tome X) only play two of the four anims, and then freezes character in that pose until duck or jump. I will have to choose different ones until it works properly. Also, new combos for Sonia seem to work ok, except for the four hit combo. For Carrie, All hitboxes are wrong. Every combo deals damage to her and not the enemy. UGH! I will see what I can do with it later this week. I do not know why Vacuum anim plays for Charlotte stand still, I must have changed it accidentally when looking through them. Should be a simple fix. The rest of them though may take a bit.

I may look kind of dumb but... what are they? I've been beating this game for the seventh time in my life, and i still don't know certain things

Okay fellas, I beat the game today! Yay! and now let's get to the news. 1-The Rom=Days ago I started a playtrough with the Latest Rom, about 3 or 4 days later StarWyvern did an update on the Rom and the right thing would be for me to start from scratch with this new version, I played it halfway, and i didn't see any difference with the previous one except a few details, and for some reason i decided i would just play the previous one (why? i don't know, the gods told me i should LOL) and to be honest i thought it was PERFECT! with only very few issues that i will talk about later, i felt it needed no more additions or changes, just fixes, i vote this rom to be the definitive version. 2-The changes that will be made= The Ghoul and Ripper enemies' palettes were all screwed up because of the changes to the original palettes, so I'll fix them myself! And I had an amazing idea to fix the Orb Palette and stuff without changing anything! soon you guys will know... the Undulating Whip does three damage per Hit, I don't know if this is a change made by StarWyvern or if the whip itself does it, if it was made by StarWyvern I want it to hit only twice, but if it's just the whip itself then i'll leave it anyway, now the Tome of Legend, its fire is still stopped, so i'll leave it as it was before, and i saw that it does two damage per hit, and it was very good! I didn't find John's Jacket, but I'm glad I didn't, after beating the game I cheated to have John's Jacket in the inventory and I thought it was OP, I think John's Jacket could be replaced by John's Bandana, it would be much better . 3-Compliments only=I found John's Bandana item on 13th Street, which is well balanced and amazing, same thing goes for Sonia's Coat and Sonia's Boots, very appreciated. I will start making the changes today! Soon i will post an update
