Thanks to Nyxo, restoring at least the sprites for right now is possible.

I almost started immediately when he sent me the link to the tool because, you know, couldn't stand looking at the yellow pee sprites and his tools are amazing and easy to use but decided to wait until he made his thread to officially announce it to the thread/world. lol I'll keep this thread updated and present the first "patch" when it is down.


Tilesets, at least world map tilesets and some city sets, can be edited! I have successfully done it! I will start on them as soon as I have finished all of the sprites! :)


So, what is this? Simple! It is a 1:1 restoration attempt of the mobile version of Chrono Trigger to look identical to the SNES game, or DS version. Since this version of the game has the additional content of the DS game, my team and I will be recreating the SNES graphics into the DS graphics as well, so that you get the DS content into the SNES graphics!

What this means basically is that you can play mobile with DS content IN SNES graphics! :)


FIRST STEP: backup your resources.bin!

Download the amazing tool by Nyxo here[rivernyxx.com] and extract it someplace nice and tidy. Open it up and click File > Open Archive and locate the resources.bin of your Chrono Trigger install directory. For example, if you install on your C: drive, it would be:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Chrono Trigger

Select it and Open.

Next click download the patch below and save it someplace. For convience, I suggest placing it with the CT_Explorer Tool. Next, in the Tool click Patch and Open Patch. Locate my Patch.

You will get a pop up. This is important. It will say:

Do you want to clear all currently configured replacements first?

Say NO.

This will start the patching progress. Once it is done, Save the Archive and then close the Explorer Tool and launch the game.

Enjoy!

Please report any problems!

Nyxo: For creating the amazing tools that made this possible and constantly updating it when I give him bugs or helping me when I ask him questions and pester him. I pester him a lot. lol he's cool about it and that makes him even more wicked. Seriously, give this guy a medal! THE KEY TO GOTHAM!

kvg88: DUDE. I wouldn't even have the game without you man. I also luv your smexy Cyan edit. Me luv him long time. You and cvg know how to make Cyan SEXY man. <33

Azure: He jumped into the team starting with Zeal and expanded from there. He's provided INSANE amounts of support. You would not believe the things he's explained and done for me. ahaha

OrpheusTheBard: for doing so much to help me and my team like explaining layers and stuff for games, but MOST of all for sending me his FRESH and ENTIRE dump of the SNES graphics. It has been tremendous value already. Thank you so damn much man. This...this seriously just sped up our process to an inexplainable amount. Your dump has every single damn piece we were missing from our dumps and spriters-resource (including the Zeal piece which is a nightmare headache lol), which said sites only had "popular" dumps without the pal options etc. THANK YOU SO DAMN MUCH! You deserve a medal as well man!

Zeikar: another member of the team, and one of the oldest on the team. He jumped in quick and tried to instantly help me figure tons of stuff out as I stumbled about. He's now working as part of the CTRP sub-team for the UI patch! He's got his own team, which I'll get the head count for and add here later.

Speedwagon: for his defilters of the mobile graphics from day one. They helped me tremendously even before my team grew! Thank you!

Square Enix: I'M KIDDING. lol

Please, if you need support or have mods to add or discuss, ADD ME. Once I have helped you or we have finished the mods, I will remove you from the friends list. It is nothing personal. I do not "talk" much. I am not comfortable with it. I am a very personal person and am very quiet and do not like to engage much personal conversation. I will try to help you as much as I can beyond that though, so don't feel bothered asking me questions in or out of my friends list as I will never feel bothered helping you, I promise you. So if you have issues...please, pm me, leave a comment, post in my thread etc etc. I WILL help! :)

I have created a MODDING group to keep the DISCUSSIONS/FORUM less cluttered with mod related threads. Please check it out, especially if you are a modder or looking to mod or looking to join a mod team.

Thank you!

ABOUT REQYN & THE "THEFT" MISUNDERSTANDING:

I have seen the updated reddit comment threads. It has been cleared up, the previous misunderstanding mentioned before guys (that I am removing now for the sake of Reyqn, who was not who the reports indicated he was). We were entirely mislead by misinformation.

Reyqn has a completely different material job than us, it isn't 1:1 quality but a defilter and upscale of mobile assets dumped from the bin, and his own work. It is a method like Speedwagon's, but the algorithm is different somehow than Speedwagon's (I don't understand that stuff so I can't explain it hehe).

Either way, it seems like the report to our team had some wires crossed and the person has since apologized to Reyqn for causing the misunderstanding and I'd like to issue a statement that we're happy to know this was just a misunderstanding and that we're sorry if anyone who supported us might have preemptively jumped at you Reyqn. My team and I would NEVER support that kind of behavior even if had it been true or not (which it isn't people). There comes a point were that has to be a line, you know? I am also personally sorry for everything. I hate that this has happened.

Hopefully you can come to the forum some day and show us your dumps / share them for the community, because when I logged into the PC this morning and saw your dumps, I thought they looked incredible! We would definitely love to see them and welcome them here at the group / Steam community! The upscale and defiltering did an impressive job!

Thank you all for the beloved support and patience with the CTRP team, and to Reyqn for having the patience to settle the issue and questions displayed in his thread.

CTRP~
