novalia (3:45:27 PM): btw if you ever make that event fix, know that event command isn't the equivalent of NOP

novalia (3:45:35 PM): command FD*

assassin (3:46:00 PM): crap, did i use that command in my other fixes?

assassin (3:46:03 PM): what is it, then?

novalia (3:46:13 PM): yes

novalia (3:46:26 PM): it ends the event function loop

novalia (3:46:46 PM): meaning the event code will stop until it's called again, presumably after a full loop of the map code

assassin (3:47:04 PM): uh oh.. why did they seem to run alright?

novalia (3:47:08 PM): many event commands do this so I'm not saying this is bad but there's no guarantee it can't have any adverse effect

assassin (3:47:15 PM): ah

assassin (3:47:22 PM): is there any NOP equivalent?

novalia (3:47:26 PM): no

assassin (3:47:28 PM): !@

assassin (3:47:34 PM): you know what game i bet has one.........

novalia (3:47:44 PM): I told Lenophis about this a few years ago but I guess he forgot about it

novalia (3:47:50 PM): SoE? :P h

assassin (3:48:06 PM): :-)   i'm gonna keep doing that as long as limitations in FF6 come up.

assassin (3:48:29 PM): should i unconditional branch instead, then?  does this game even have unconditional branches?

novalia (3:48:30 PM): might last forever, in that case

novalia (3:48:39 PM): btw I looked into the magic gourd thing. doesn't seem to do anything.

assassin (3:49:01 PM): nice.  does Oracle Bone affect more than one NPC?

novalia (3:49:13 PM): in event code? yes, by using bits that remain forever clear or set

assassin (3:49:26 PM): eww.. which are those?

novalia (3:49:36 PM): I briefly looked into this item by accident. yes, it does. speech-wise, at least.

assassin (3:49:57 PM): preferable one or more that Square relies on, so as to ward off hackers from fucking with my "safe" bits and threatening co-existence of my patch with theirs.

novalia (3:49:58 PM): got my event bits list?

assassin (3:50:05 PM): on website, right?

novalia (3:50:26 PM): yeah, but seems to be down... again

assassin (3:50:33 PM): will check it later

novalia (3:50:51 PM): just search for "Serves to ensure branching always occurs"
