In the current version, accessing DSRC was disabled. This fixes a couple of DSRC bugs and enables access to the dungeon. Enjoy, you masochistic people.

Along with that I thought I'd address 'major' bugs that I know are present but I can't fix.

-Anything with materia.
-If you save on the world map once you have the Ragnarok, close the program, and re-open it, your ship will be back in Tokyo. For the love of christ, don't do it!
-The 'Blasting Zone' animation appears over the Battle Status. I fiddled with it far too much as it is, so I left it.
-There's some issues with the item menu and the battle status when in battle. I have tried MULTIPLE TIMES to fix this, and haven't been successful. I'm sorry guys, I'm not a programmer, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong.
-Some bosses in the final battles don't appear immediately. I don't know why that happens- I've tried fiddling with it but couldn't fix it.
-Common event skills don't update the battle status straight away (1000 Needles and Shock). I tried to fix this, too, but couldn't fathom a way to fully refresh the battle status through the common event call...so it has been left.
-If you try to save when CC is lagging or you have a ridiculous amount of saves (depends on your computer- my one is quite powerful, so I have about 45 saves and don't get this) the save system MAY hang. I recommend playing CC without anything else open so it has lots of RAM to chew through. RMXP's fault, not mine. The anti-'script is hanging' script didn't play well with CC, before you suggest it.
-If you use a Kumo/Levi limit break while critical, the characters won't reappear immediately. I'm not sure why this is, and haven't got a clue how to fix it.


Now, I'll be uploading 2.2 soon, but keeping the 2.1 download up. Why? Because 2.2 will have a new script installed (damage cap) which DOES NOT SUPPORT SAVE GAME TRANSFERRAL. So, 2.2 will NOT be compatible with your old save games. 2.1 still does, and functions pretty much the same way as 2.2, except it's possible to break 9999 with a number of different skills ( Off the top of my head, at level 24+ Lionheart (Levi) and another skill from the DSRC section (Kumo) do around 13000+). 2.2 will have everything that the optional patch has added and probably a couple of fixes regarding party switch.

Toodles!

W.I.P!!
Ok guys, I've done as much as I could, I think. I have a very long bug list and I'm not going to share (unless requested)
Right now this is an open testing phase. Anyone can help out if they feel like doing so.

This is the game download:

and this is the Save File Package:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6dhoi13cc2vw7o4

There is one save game included just so Continue is available. Just drop one of these saves in after installation to test. REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR PARTY, EQUIPMENT AND MATERIA. You may play differently to me, so set it up as you see fit. My party consists of Kumo, Lulu and Levi in most saves past Volcanic Tunnels.

The game has been HEAVILY TESTED since the last release and should be playble right through without any game breaking bugs (yay)?. I went through a lot of the game doing just that- not saving. There are a LOT of changes. Adjustment to certain bosses, HP values, money drops, what materia is available, battle frequency, an ENTIRE NEW DUNGEON, fully comprehensive Terminal system with info on every major character, location and the 'introductory' events, a new ending cutscene (that, lol, nobody saw the first one :p) that I just didn't have time to add before- and don't forget the full set of redrawn facesets. A lot did make the cutting room floor, sadly- Chocobo Betting never made it in, nor did the entire sequence transcribing some backstory- most of it is implied in the game anyway. If you want to hack the game to view the two scenes I actually got done, go right ahead- just don't screw with my hard work, ok?!
Other things didn't make it in either- there was plans for a rescue sequence where you save the SquareEnix team from zombies, much to their shock, concepts for chocobos on the world map, etc, etc etc...

Depending on the level of bugs and their severity in this version, I might not end up doing much besides another reupload missing the Save1 file and an added script (which needed a New Game to operate correctly)- Damage Cap. Thanks to game_guy for writing this script, along with the Stat Breaker, used to give the final boss final form a whooping total of 178345 HP. If you play your cards right, though, the entire battle's a breeze. Just pay VERY STRICT ATTENTION TO ELEMENTAL WEAKNESSES EARLY IN THE GAME IN ENEMIES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THE FINAL BOSS. I AM BOLDING BECAUSE OF IMPORTANCE.

Anyway, enjoy guys! /not expecting many testers

extract and overwrite your entire data folder

fixes multiple passability issues and a game breaking bug

I'll have the actual game reuploaded soon.

Fixes:
-issue with final boss's first phase coming up as the full graphic
-issue with the second and third phase's positioning
-bug where teleport in the Back Allies House would place you on an impassable tile
-issue on the final map where the screen wouldn't fade back in

let these files overwrite the ones in the data folder (one handy thing about not being able to compress is the ability to easily patch...)

Today was fairly productive. I've finished up majority of the final dungeon (just need some NPC events in there). I've completed all the bosses forms and completed most of the lead up cutscenes (including the graphics for them). I have one more event cutscene to sprite and the enemies for the crazy motorcycle sequence to sprite, as well as some dialogue I need to polish up a bit so the story makes sense.

All in all progress is good! I think I'll definitely make the deadline :). Most of the stuff I mentioned I should get done by tomorrow. Then there's polishing up the final fight and...we have lift off!
