Hi, I'm not planning on TASing this game, but I just want to make fun with Lua scripts and memory addresses. This question may be better suited for DarkKobold. I'm trying to find a way to tell it's the turn of which character. I just want to write on screen some of the stats of that character. So maybe you can tell me how it works, if you know :P Thanks

I am almost positive the code is going to be identical to the SF1/SF2 code. If you find the turn order counter, (is going to increase by 1 or 2 every turn), then the character order will start 2 bytes from that. The values start at 0 for the hero and increase, or 255 for the first enemy and decrease. That is the best I can tell you off the top of my head.

The question is, should this game be run as all 2,3 or 4(ish) chapters? Really, this may be the longest one to date, if you combine all the chapters. Plus, the battles are set reallly poorly to abuse the game.

I'd say go all four chapters for both the novelty value of having the most absurdly long TAS on the site and to give encoders headaches. Oh, and that the game actually has a good reason for doing all four chapters, of course.

Has anyone found which byte(s) are used for the RNG?

I made a quick and dirty TAS of Book 1 of Shining Force CD, if anyone's interested: https://youtu.be/WZdvG_tmR4I It's not really good enough to submit to the site (especially in comparison to the existing Shining Force TASs... wow), but I thought I'd link it here in case it gives anyone ideas or fuels discussion.
