For awhile i have tought about this and thanks to elements created by gallade, kra and smith i am going to have a very custom PSO Disk.

Features will be:
  • File swap so that ultimate ending pictures are no longer red ring rico but the uraending instead, i always wanted to atually see these pictures while playing.
  • Autoconnect to DC-talk (just in case i come online :P)
  • Model swap, meaning the nurse, secretary and guild lady will be the ones in PSO BB as they look better (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
  • HUD modification
    Hud story:
    • v1 - 1st release
    • v2 - hud width has been decreased, small tweaks regarding edges on status hud so that they don't become near the numbers
    • v3 - 1 tweak regarding the edges in the status hud
    • v4 - ep3 colors aplied, new map hud updated, graphical problems apear
    • v5 - graphical problems solved, transparency lost on few textures (will be fixed), status hud width has increased by 1 pixel
    • v6 - Transparency re-added, status hud width inceased by 1 pixel, radar pointer becomes more visible
  • Fast load or not the game must contain all intro movies.
  • No hacks or mods that affect gameplay (sega legit gameplay)
Gallade is making the hud and i'm giving him the right instructions so that he actually makes something that doesn't look adapted to ver.2
There were 2 huds that i could have used, a transparent pso ver.2 one and the blueburst one, but both have problems wich were never fixed and so altought the ideas were great the output didn't satisfied me.
The HUD will be the one in PSU (phantasy star universe) with blue and aquamarine blue (reference to ep3)
Once it's finished the final edit will be made on a dreamcast file and then given to smith for the final file compilation.
I don't know if anyone likes the hud like i do or you find the file swap an interesting thing, but in the end since this is a personal disk, smith can freely release it for everyone.

Kra is part of schthack pso development, he has made some cool model change and some of his work was for ver.2, i am going to use that.
Gallade is the original skin maker, i asked him if he could do this request and he accepted.
Don't worry smith, you can trust him and as you can see his work is amazing.

You will be the one that will create the disk smith, consider this as a request from me (if it isn't to much work)
I simply want those features compiled, i will give them all to you once it's finished, you don't need gallade or kra, you will simply compile all of this into 1 disk.

Calm down smith, you can decide not to release this but i would like if you could do it for me, it's not a major improvement PSO, but it has the elements i like.

Well, for once they don't like the admins at schthack that much, second they never did anything against me or dc-talk for that matter.

I personally checked the texture file, there are no bad intentions.
As for the model swap, haven't test them, might install them later to see with my own eyes, but considering it was a public release then i think there are no harmfull intentions.

Peace :P

Believe me smith, i know how you feel, but i can't blame everyone tied to schthack in any way

:P

The file is clean smith, i accept any conssequences that may happen to my game.
With or without malware i will 1st make the final test on a normal cd-r, just to see if everything is right with the textures or if the models cause problems, then if it works then i'll burn in this cd:

Sorry for double post, the gsl_city.gsl file has been updated.
I added a few more ep2 models to it, namely the shop mercants and i think the ep2 guil lady looks better then the one in ep1, i compared the 2 and this one has a smaller pair of breats and a more younger face, being so i prefer this one.

3, 4, 5, 6)

Its kind of hard to understand this topic because all of Smith's posts got deleted.

I think I got the gist of it though.

I also wonder about the other custom disc topic but that one is a few years old.
