Heyo! As I type this, I'm working on those minimaps...again. Finally. Procrastination is a lot of work! There is a system to it. But anyways, I was wondering if you've retrieved any of the world area names from the NA versions? They're definitely going to be needed for the Cavern of Remembrance. And I also, [http://a-very-merry-q.deviantart.com/gallery/60454898/HUD-Design I finally put together all this shit lol]. Do with it what you will, it's there for fun. :D And lastly, I'm still aching for those FFXHD extracts. XD --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 17:45, 28 September 2016 (UTC) | Heyo!

:Maybe you have to devide them per floor, you probably can't them fit on one plane, at least not without many arrows, letters and probably colors in the case of the Cavern of Remembrance, but that's actually a point for the level design of KHII, not against it:D --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 06:23, 29 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
::Here's what I hate about the level design. Let's say you're in an area, and the "gate" to the next one is north. You pass through the north gate and enter the new area, yet for some reason, it ends up on the ''west'' side of it. Now, imagine that...with almost every area! That's Agrabah in a nutshell. It's a scrambled clusterfuck that's an utter pain to organize - and I can't go around flipping the maps because the way they're extracted is exactly the way they're presented in-game. I'm thinking the only way around this is to mark the gates with letters, and then correspond them. Kind of like how I did with the Keyblade Graveyard or Timeless River portals. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 06:35, 29 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
:::I think you should still rotate them in this case, decide for a direction, probably using the biggest map, and go with it. The level design can also be understood much easier this way. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 11:18, 29 September 2016 (UTC) | |||
::::I tried that, but some of them go in a spiraly direction - like Twilight's View. No matter which way you rotate it, a gate will keep slamming into the wall of another area, be it the last or next. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 16:17, 29 September 2016 (UTC) | |||

== Weapon Rips == | |||
Were there better models of the organization weapons in 2.5 HD? I'd like to know what's written on the cover of the Book of Retribution if possible. :3 Thanks! {{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 03:46, 3 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
:I think there were no changes made for any models in KHIIHD, but the words can be made out better from the textures: [http://imgur.com/Y2p5hMI.png 1], [http://imgur.com/gUZfyOc.png 2]. The description on the [[Book of Retribution]] page seems to be correct. I'm not really sure if the change of the title is caused by the International version or if ReCom simply uses another textures. I'll check that later. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 18:28, 3 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
::I just checked ReCoM and I noticed two things: The texture in KHIIHD ''is'' a bit better and both the English and Japanese version of ReCoM use the same texture, even the English version of KHIIHD uses the texture linked above so I'm not sure where the alternate title, "Ignes Fatui", is coming from. A cutscene maybe or some obscure Days info, I don't know. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 19:34, 3 October 2016 (UTC) | |||

Made some maps for KHII and BBS. Might also try some from Days, as I can rip some images from an emulator. | |||

:They look great, thank you, you can upload them here any time. The official image rule is not as strictly enforced outside the mainspace, these images are completely fine for the galleries and walkthroughs. It would be immensely helpful if you could get the maps of Days. If I remember correctly they are all stored separately (like in Re:coded), making the extraction process as real hassle, getting the maps with an emulator would be a lot faster. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 18:28, 3 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
:That's awesome, dude. With that, I'll relegate to you taking care of the minimaps, and tomorrow I'll start focusing on updating all the screenshots to their HD counterparts. Should be...''fun''. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 04:23, 4 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
::Getting those translated titles was more complicated then it the right to be. I updated the [http://www.mediafire.com/file/k23t2w0yailzikc/KHII_minimaps.zip archive] and also put in some room titles that were removed in the HD versions (mostly Atlantica) for the sake of completeness. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 17:27, 6 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
That is so weird lol...The Gathering Place just re-uses Disney Castle's font. In any case, you and the Rebel got this, right? I just realized that there's really no need for swapping out screencaps just yet, so I'll start ripping the maps from 358/2 Days. But...how do you want it done? Just the KH1 worlds? Seems a little redundant to rip the areas already in KH2 since they're all just re-uses anyway. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 08:06, 7 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
:You're right, it looks really out of place. It's also not helping that the title uses "Disney Castle" under the line, which is only done so by the English version by the way. | |||
:As for the Days maps, I think having maps for all worlds would still preferable as some areas were added/removed from their KHII equivalents and some rooms have new names. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 08:13, 7 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
::That might have to wait, because I ran into YET ANOTHER FUCKING PROBLEM!!! dsmume won't load .sav files, only .dsv. And seeing as I'm on a Mac, I have no bloody way of converting them, and there isn't a single wanker out there who's bothered to upload any. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 08:36, 7 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
:::Years ago there was some kind of online converter for the various No$Gba, Desmume and other formats. Maybe I'll find it again. I still have a completed dsv save for the European and Japanese version of Days, but you are probably using the North American one, right? --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 08:41, 7 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
::::Yeah, but don't try to look for it. [http://www.shunyweb.info/convert.php The only online converter currently up doesn't do dsv]. Honestly, my day is just awesome today.

:Shard already ripped them. [http://www.mediafire.com/file/8jju1o417853z0v/KH3D+textures.zip Clicky here]. Fairly easy to find - it's in the "Maps" folder lol. Though be warned, they're a little bit different than the maps you've been working on.

== Your unwitting instigation of DOOM == | |||
So a while ago, you told me I should work on a fangame or something lol. 'Cept I can't code worth a damn - let's not even get into modeling. But let's say I'm inspired to ''do something'' using my know-how! How would you go about it? Where to start lol? You opened pandora's box, and I feel like doing something now. ;) --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 04:21, 4 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
:Asking all the hard questions I see. Hmm, if I wanted to work on a fangame and wouldn't know at least a bit of everything to get started on my own, I'd find a project I like and ask if I can help too. Since you have already some experience with the (failed?!?) Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days HD remake it can get frustrating very fast, so always keep that mind. Personally I think the most promising approach for a KH fangame comes from xentax user MayBeePah who wants to create some kind of [http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=9884&start=150 Kingdom Hearts engine], that could be used as the groundwork for your own game. It's still not ready though. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 06:31, 4 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
::Lol, thanks, but I'm not really looking to make my own fangame just yet. XD That's a long wait for a...erm, I guess a train don't come! I was just hoping to put my stuff to ''established'' use. :) But all there is is that crappy Days HD project doomed to fail... --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 08:07, 7 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
== Reality Shifts == | |||
I went ahead and snooped around your mediafire folder and found the KH3D textures. So, with those...I went ahead and updated the Reality Shift images! They're still pretty low-quality since the game uses hilarious amounts of compression (just about...every texture looks like shit lol), but I made do. However, the files you uploaded don't have the Japanese version textures in them - so I was hoping you could get around to uploading those? OR! Or you could wait until 2.8, when we'll get significantly higher-quality textures to play with, provided you're confident you can extract them. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 04:23, 11 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
:The textures are all I got from MayBeePah's KH3D dump, I still don't know how to unpack the game myself since the people who can do that don't like to talk about it. I'm currently trying to get Citra to do my biddings, but the possibilities are very limited. So in short 2.8 is probably the best chance to get these textures. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 06:17, 11 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
::S'what I thought. I'd much rather work with higher quality ones anyway. Speaking of which, how's that FFX and Type-0 going lol? --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 23:09, 11 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
:::Any progress? --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 08:08, 28 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
::::I know you don't want to hear it, but I didn't make any progress at all, mostly because my internet connection is still super bad and the games are still too expensive (for the simple purpose of getting the textures). I was hoping there would be a discount during the fall sale but that didn't happen. Isn't there anyone on the ffwiki who already extracted textures from those games? --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 17:40, 28 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
:::::Not a one lol. Nobody really extracts textures from games anymore - only for datamining purposes, really. Kingdom Hearts is a rare exception because the various interfaces have a lot of visual flare. But for the record...Type-0 is currently $15 lol. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 19:01, 28 November 2016 (UTC) | |||

:Not out of the box it seems, since the hover text is tied to the game icon objects, even though you could change the background.

Hey, I was wondering if you could update your zip package of medal cutins to be more up-to-date? I had to improvise with Meowjesty yesterday, but it would've been better if there was a proper cutin. Also...obligatory reminder about Type-0 HD and FFX HD assets! ''Almost!'' This might be important, but I need you to look into digging through Final Fantasy XV assets. I'm not actually looking for anything in particular or interested in anything (except maybe weapon icons for the FF wiki), but I need to know if you even ''can'' get anything out of it. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 06:29, 14 December 2016 (UTC) | |||

I'm working at Type-0 but it doesn't look too good actually, I haven't extracted anything substantial yet but I'm still experimenting with some directx wrappers, but this will take some more time. As for FFXV: I don't have the game, I don't have a PS4 and I don't think there was any work done on the game yet, so I can't dig through anything yet. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 23:23, 15 December 2016 (UTC) | |||

== Huge Snowman == | |||
I just noticed that in Unchained χ, at least in Main Story Quest 525, its Japanese name is ヒュージスノーマン, not ラージスノーマン. I'm not sure if it appeared in any other quests in Unchained, so I'm not sure if the name was changed for this quest, or for for Unchained (or maybe it's a different Heartless).--[[User:LeafShinobi|LeafShinobi]] ([[User talk:LeafShinobi|talk]]) 21:06, 7 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
:Good catch! I checked both games and you're absolutely right, the "Huge Snowman" variant seems to be exclusive to Unchained (the boss in quest 525 and a High Score Challenge) while the "Large Snowman" variant only appears in browser [chi] and not (yet) in Unchained during the Christmas events. The name fits too since the Huge Snowman's height is like two times the Large Snowman's height: [http://i.imgur.com/gVXT3K3.png]. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 22:29, 7 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
== Here we are == | |||
I know you don't have 2.8 yet, but you know of anyone who might have tried to get a head start in cracking the thing open? --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 16:20, 13 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
:Whoa! I was thinking I was the only wanting to know if anyone was able to rip something from the Japanese version of the game. But I think it's too early to do that; first because the game was released a few days ago; and second because we don't know anything about how Square has encrypted the new files with the Unreal Engine 4 or the HD files in DDD. Also, it would be wisely to wait until the game is released in the entire world, let the people play with it, and then extracting all the juice inside. If I'm not mistaken (and this is only an interpretation of what I saw in the videos), the graphics of BbS 0.2 are huge compared to the HD versions of older games (maybe 1024x1024px graphics instead of 512x512px). --Oscar92player | |||
::About the encryption, I asked Shard to get a sneak peak into some of it a couple of months ago by cracking open Type-0 HD and maybe the FFX HD remasters. But.....ahem. He's been a little procrastinaty on that. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 21:23, 13 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
:::The thing is that Final Fantasy Type-0 HD and Final Fantasy X&X-2 HD are not using the Unreal Engine, the use some kind of Unity-like engine (I don't remember the exact name). But in theory, because Square is using the Unreal Engine 4 for KH BbS 0.2 instead of Unreal Engine 5, the data encryption will be the same as other games using the same engine (unless Square used another method to encrypt the data inside). Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, the fonts now the need to be in .ttf or .otf format, because (unless I'm mistaken), Unreal Engine 4 don't have support for bitmaps fonts like in older KH games. This is an opportunity to obtain fonts is his original format instead of bitmap images. --Oscar92player | |||
::::0.2 is a lower priority since there's really just three things the Wiki needs from it. DDD on the other hand has a good chunk of HD assets that need updating. And as for fonts, 2.5 didn't use bitmaps either. So, that could be a tiny source of comfort for 2.8 lol. --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 04:19, 14 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
:::::Thinking about it, KH DDD has nice assets for the wiki, and some of them new compared to the 3DS version, but BbS 0.2 has new graphics assets too for the HUD elements, or things like the costumes images in the menus. That would be a nice addition for the wikia too. As for what you said about 2.5... KH2 and Birth by Sleep HD uses bitmap images as fonts. Tell me if I'm wrong, but... does KH 2.5 use another type of fonts, like .ttf or .otf, maybe for the Re:Coded cutscenes and menus? --Oscar92player | |||
::::::KH2FM and BBS both use tff. [http://www.mediafire.com/file/te9xmuztowt4mnz/KH+Fonts.zip Here are the extracted fonts. Try it out for yourself!] --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 23:40, 14 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
:::::::This .ttf fonts are from the Japanese version of KH X[chi]. It's true that the fonts called DFSOGE5 and KH2_ALL_MENU_I are the same used n 2.5 for the Game Selection Menu and the HUD menu for the movies, but in this case both are from X[chi], and the Cinema_Calligraphy_Web is for the Japanese dialogue boxes as well. The only ones that 2.5 uses are the images that you see in there for KH2 and BbS (and there are KH Re:CoM fonts too), those are the bitmap fonts that I'm talking about. In theory, and because 0.2 now uses Unreal Engine 4, the game no longer can uses images as fonts but .ttf or .otf ones. I'm sure that 0.2 uses the .ttf fonts called DFSOGE5 KH2_ALL_MENU_I for the HUD (the ones you have miss the extra latin characters for accents and symbols, so they are incomplete), and we miss the dialogue fonts, they are different in US and European versions from Cinema_Calligraphy_Web (this one is only used in the Japanese version). --Oscar92player | |||

::::::::Alright. Plan B. I'll need screenshots. LOTS OF THEM. If I can get enough of them, I can cobble together enough that looks the shit. ''Maybe''. ;_; Starting with Spell Weaver. I'll need screenshots with Spell Weaver active in as many situations, and LIGHTING, as possible. Dark backgrounds, and light. For example, the exit that leads to Destiny Islands is just pure white. And let's not forget Spell Weaver actually has three different phases in its animation - the basic, the one where the finisher is active, and one where the finisher is triggered. Also, the PS4 share button won't cut it - the images are far too compressed to get anything useful out of it. I tried to get a higher quality Flowmotion icon this way, and it just looked like plain shit. They need to be as lossless looking as possible. Can you pull that off? Or, do you know anyone who might?

:::I made the screenshots with my PS4 but the quality is really not what I hoped for. You can't use the upscaled "4k" screenshots because everything just gets more blurry, there is absolutely no difference to what a good graphic program does. You can't use a first person camera to get better angles of the enemies, because there is none and on top of everything there is like a four second delay between pressing the share button and the PS4 taking the actual screenshot, it's just embarrassingly slow. I took like 200 screenshots to get these three passable enemy poses and I'm still not very happy with them. | |||
:::So I'm not sure if I can get a good Phantom Aqua image this way, but I can try during her slow walk phase. As for a command styles, I'm not sure I can deliver more quality than you already tried to get Ignis.

Can I vent? I'mma vent a little bit. '''''Fuck this game'''''. :< I barely [https://www.khwiki.com/File:Focus_Gauge_KHBBS02.png|barely managed to cobble this thing together] from everything we had.

To get anything decent out of this, you need to make use of a VERY light environment. Except...''the fucking game blocks you from taking screenshots from the idea environment!'' But...I'm feeling just a little bit triumphant. So, maybe I'll try and get started on the style changes.

==Questions== | |||
In terms of Kingdom Hearts χ, should the information from Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ just go under the sections for Kingdom Hearts χ? The two story lines are exactly the same save for one set of missions surrounding a wielder that was reckless and decided to separate himself from his friends as a result in hopes that it would keep them safe. Furthermore, how would you like the information from Kingdom Hearts Back Cover organized on the character pages? Chronologically or separately as its own heading? As of right now I've put the information in alongside the information from Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ. As well, is there some sort of page dedicated to chronology? If not I would love to work on a Kingdom Hearts Timeline page and detail the events of each game in order. Also, I saw on a page (not sure which one) that indicated that the Keyblade War took place only 100 years before Kingdom Hearts rather than hundreds of years. Is this fact or fiction? For all I know this content was already deleted as fan-made content but I'd rather be sure (that would certainly make a timeline easier to create as well). Also, I was wondering about the Foreteller pages - shouldn't the page names be changed to simply "Aced", "Ava", "Gula", "Invi", and "Ira"? I understand that the "Foreteller" title is included in their journal entries - but like titles aren't included in any other page names (it's no longer "Master Xehanort", just Xehanort; same situation with Aqua, Riku, Mickey, Yen Sid, and Eraqus). Including "Foreteller" in the page names just seems awkward and out of place. Also - I thought it worth mentioning that Aced, Ava, Gula, Invi, Ira, Luxu and the Master of Masters are all considered Keyblade Masters, but are excluded from the Keyblade Master page. Sorry for the barrage of questions. | |||

== 0.2 Starlight == | |||
I noticed that in the first cutscene with Luxu in the keyblade graveyard that there's a tiny bit of the Starlight showing. I was wondering if this would have a render hidden within the game at all, or would it not because it's part of a cinematic? (or if they only bothered making a portion of it because the whole keyblade wasn't seen in game). {{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 06:06, 2 June 2017 (UTC) | |||

This is the logo that's been showing up the most recent official Kingdom Hearts merchandise. That being said, for the US merch, they actually removed the Square Enix and keyblade watermarks at the top and only leave "Disney" up. It's still the same thing though.

Hello, sorry to bug you but I was trying to make a page for the Dream Eater Pets but I'm honestly so confused by what to do that I thought it best to just give it up for now (I don't really understand how to make tabs for each colour variant) but in my experimenting I accidentally created the page "[[Pupstar]]".

:::The reason they all different pages is that some years ago it was decided that "new name = new page" which resulted in the splitting of most of the ability pages (some are still not done today). Horde Heartless are a relatively new phenomenon (see Devil's Wave etc.) maybe we really should merge them with their single versions but such a decision needs a discussion I think. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 16:23, 7 December 2017 (UTC) | |||
