Pretty sure that's intentional

By that I mean Yogurt's stats remain the same as if it's at level 1.
No stat increase.

I wonder if anyone else has this problem too... or if it's just me...
In this mod, Yogurt levels up, but his stats remain low.
Tried save scumming to see if it's the RNG's fault, it sometimes does this with NORMAL characters when they level up, sometimes increasing no other stats other than the level number during level ups.

Oh and totally unrelated, I wish there was a mod that addresses this RNG problem during level ups and some stats of a level 20 character did not carry over once they are promoted...

Thankfully, Shining Force 2 does not have this problem when I promote them at level 40 and making them OP AF.

Passing item feature does not seem to work. Cannot pick up items once Max has 4 items.

I appreciate the response. Shame I didn't find this mod prior to starting my playthrough. Oh well, for next time then! Someone else said this mod fixes the AI from doing dumb things like, standing there to take a beating, or not taking advantage to attack etc. Is that true, or does it only address the healing issues?

no, the crc hash is different between the original rom and the mods because of hex changes so emulators won't load the save file from the original rom when running the modded rom.

The workshop mods are created by taking the original rom and applying a ppf or ips patch using the appropriate patching tool, in the end you have a rom file containing the original game and a rom file containing the patched game, using the workshop tool allows you to upload the patched rom file as a workshop mod for others to download.
Popular emulators like Gens have the ability to load ips and ppf patches along with the original rom to do on-the-fly patching which means the original rom file will not be altered when playing with a patch.

Is there a way for me to convert my existing save files to work with the mod?

mods for any game will have their own separate save file

Cool! Although I can't get it to work with my existing saves...do I have to start over? >_<

I believe so. Really does up the challenge a LOT

Does this mod also fix the AI from doing stupid things like...standing there and taking a beating for no reason?

there working right butt on SF2 a lot of them to hard to play im playing on normal

butt some are hard to play

i get it to work sorry about that butt i love mods on it

@JasonX1984
The mod works correctly, it's the emulator that has issues. If you want the best experience use retroarch, gens or kega fusion.
Also I'm not the author of the mod, I had been using the mod for years before this emulator was developed so I uploaded the mod for others to enjoy using.

hi i like whats in the mod but can we get a update for 2022 i like it to work right and to show how good the mods are

Looks like saves are broken again

Thanks

@tjimagineer you can use the internet archive link to download it.

Is there a way to still get this for a regular emulator as it is no longer on romhacking.net ?

The mod has been uploaded with the newest tool version. In-game Saves and Save States are now working as intended. Enjoy! :)

That could be my fault I haven't updated it since I originally uploaded it in 2017. I'll get that done this weekend

Damn, they still haven't fixed save states?

I don't think it would work with a vanilla save would work but you can try it. here's the link to the IPS file http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3168/

It seems save states and normal saves no longer works because of an update. Aside from that, would a non-steam emulator load a vanilla save into this mod?

It should. I am not the Author of the mod. I only patched the rom and uploaded it.

does any of this work?, exp overflow does not.

So Jogurt is a playable character?

any updates on the save states?

i think that's the entire games fault and not the mod

Does anyone know if I can transfer my progress from vanilla into the mod?

It seems that Save States don't work, but Quick Saves do.

It's still a thing; if it's a mod, it doesn't save. Ever since they redid the game, it's been unfriendly to mods. It was only a few months ago you could play mods at all

The save states seem to work just fine for me

and i heard all the games that weren't on the new collection or had the new features weren't working. But that could be outdated now

Sonic 3 and Knuckles didn't work, last time i tested it.

@Diabeto what other games have issues? I was going to test other games to see which ones aren't saving

I haven't messed with the whole collection in a long time, since a lot of games aren't working right

you're welcome, I haven't played the game in just under a year, my last save state was 02/28/2018 it loads but trying to overwrite it or save to a new slot doesn't work. Unfortunately at this time the game is pretty much unplayable unless you want to keep the game running at all times until you beat it.

Awesome, I wasn't sure. I've just been looking for a work around it or a fix, thought I'd see if anyone knew anything. Thanks for the message back.

If the quick saves aren't working then it's an issue to do with a recent update to the emulator and has nothing to do with the mod itself.

So, I was hoping someone could give me a hand. I'm actually having a problem getting the files to save. Yes I know the battery saves don't work. But it seems the quick saves aren't working either?

So how di i get it to save? none of the save options are working, niether talking to the priest or using the emulator's save slots are working.

PSA for people new to SF1 modding: Your "battery" saves don't work with this mod (ie, if you talk to the priest he'll go through the motions of saving but won't actually save), so you need to use the Quick Save to keep track of your progress.

Learned that the hard way since I'd rather not use save states if possible, and had to start over from the beginning after my first session.

id really like to see some standalone mods for these things. i was looking through mods looking for exactly the kind of QoL mods seen here with the land effect bugfix and the auto item passing, but i dont want that to come with other more major game balance changes

I did not make the mod I only found the patch file, patched the original rom and uploaded the results to steam workshop

Since we can only run one mod a time, as far as I'm aware at least

I would absolutely love it if you made a version of this mod w/ a combination of starting with all characters mod!

Great to see some love for this game

The original Shining Force game
