Ask him if you can use his sprites.
I'm guessing it's better if I don't add custom sprites for now, until I get enough of them.

Fix for v1.1
+ Added .mod support
+ Added GFXText support
+ Fixed crashing glitch
+ Fixed court record glitches caused by 1.1
- Removed .mp3 support
Place the mod folder in AADS/sfx so that the directory is AADS/sfx/mod.

Still have a few questions though :
- What is GFXText ?
- Do you think you could do a "fixed" version with mp3 instead of mod ? Like, have two releases ?
- What is this "Movie support" you mentionned earlier ? How can we use it ?
- Where do these "Ace Attorney" mods come from ? 0_o
And a few suggestions :
- Be able to change the title screen (the one where it says "Gyakuten Saiban" in Japanese).
- Have the GS UI instead of the GK one
- Possibility of fast-forwarding text
- Fade to black (for Scene change).
I had some other, but I forgot about them. Anyway, I'm off to try that new version :)

GFXText is an extension of REGText.
It works like so:
1. Go to the AADS/art directory and make a folder called "fx".
2. Place an image named FX(number).png (i.e. FX7.png) in AADS/art/fx and parse it using AADS PAGfx.exe.
3. Use the GFXText function like so:
SCR1REGText=WHAT?! You can't be serious!
SCR1GFXText=W Y
On the W and the Y, the FX image will pop up in front of everything. This is used for white flashes, for instance.
I have no idea how to work with sound and the .mp3 streaming problem does not have a solution to this day.
Movie support is just custom animation with no Loop (Loop=0)
The mods aren't AA songs, and are from http://themoddepot.com/
Other mod archives include:
http://modarchive.org/
http://www.s3m.com/dma/
Fast forwarding text is complete. I forgot to include that in the features. Try holding B and you'll see what I mean.

Ok, I think I get it. I won't use it now though, this is one of the things I'll add when (if) I finish my case :)

I see, but you have to make one .png for each frame of the animation, and then parse them into bin files, I guess ?

Yeah, that's how Capcom did it for all 4 GS games. The only time Capcom ever used a video codec was with GS4, when they used it for short 3-D cut scenes.

Well, that's pretty complicated
Just remembered, I have two big issues with this "fix" :
- Apollo's name won't show up. I didn't touch the "init" or "storyline" inis at all between the two AADS versions, and yet now somehow every character gets his name in the box, except Apollo, which is set as Name1 in the ini.
- Green text is now some kind of dark yellow, yet again the color codes in init.ini are still the same !
- Looks like the DS can't play all mod files. I put one in my case, which worked, then changed it to another one ("Fable.mod", if you want to know), and it doesn't play... That's too bad, it was the perfect BGM for the beginning of my case :(
That's weird...
EDIT : Well, turns out it's not just the MOD file that won't play, it's every single sound alltogether ! There's no sound, even when I go to the next SCR, or when I go into the court Record. RAM overload, maybe ?

Apollo's name won't fit because it's too large for the textbox given. I'll increase the parameters of the textbox if it helps.
It does turn out some .mod files are unplayable. I'm sorry about that, it's nothing I can do (again, I have no experience/knowledge with sound).
I'm also going to investigate the colour problem. Try setting green to color 5 and use color 5.

Huh, that's odd, cause it did fit before the fix, and "Phoenix", which is even longer, does appear
And it fits in the box...
EDIT : In another case, neither "Phoenix" nor "Pearl" appears in the textbox... This is so weird...

Well, as you said, it's not your fault, so I'll just use the working mods, that's okay.

I'll try that, but I think the problem comes from the color number being misinterpreted by the rom, cause when I see what color it gives on my computer, it's perfectly green
Another thing : How do you get a sprite to "disappear" ? (like, when, changing location) ; I created a blank sprite, but since it IS a sprite, it takes off pixels from the top of the background, so that's pretty stupid... It'd be easier to just tell the rom to stop displaying the previous one, but I don't know how to do that...

About the color thing, it's impossible for one color to be misinterpreted, yet another not. I'm thinking that the color saved in the 3rd slot (there's 16 color palette slots available) is being overlapped by the 4th color. Again, try using the 5th color and tell me what happens, it's really peculiar since I'm looking at my functions and I see nothing wrong.

SCR1NameID=999 should do the trick for removing the textbox.
And yeah, we're limited to .mod files only at this time.

Thanks for the mod links. The removal of animation/.mods/maps will be in the next revision and will be prompted by 999.

Instead I guess I'll just use SCRText, at least for now.
My case is definitely starting to look like something :)

A lot easier to remember IMO.
I'm going to be fixing this for a long time this week so you can use 1.1 if you want but 1.2 will be completely different and will require a second download.
I'm also omitting the Map/Anim system and instead just going directly with raw custom animations on layers.
SCRXAnim is replaced with SCRXBG2, SCRXMap is replaced with SCRXBG3 and SCRXBG1, SCRXBG0 and SCRXOAM have been added.
BG3/BG2/BG1/BG0 are background layers of the DS available for you to use. These are the 4 layers the DS has that backgrounds can be loaded from. If you remember the custom animation function, it'll be used in all 4 layers. I'm also omitting the sprite ID function so:
[courtroomlobby]
Filepath=maps/courtroomlobby
Location=TRUE
Loop=FALSE
Frames=1
Speed=6
[godot_normal]
Filepath=animation/characters/Godot/NGodot
Loop=TRUE
Frames=3
Speed=6
SCR1BG3=courtroomlobby
SCR1BG2=godot_normal
This allows you to have full use of the 4 layers available to you. The OAM layer is the sprite layer and will cover any 64x64, 32x32, 16x16, 8x8, 4x4, 2x2, or 1x1 sprites you have. This sprites can be moved around as well... so I guess if there's ever a "motion tween" function that people want, I can do it I guess.

BG0? Isn't it normally BG4?
OAM (object attributed VRAM) is a sprite layer
BG0 is the top layer
BG1 is the second-to-the-top layer
BG2 is the second-to-the-bottom layer
BG3 is the bottom layer
The sprite layer is weird because you can change it's priority to be anywhere in between the BG's.
Each BG is capable of 768 individual tiles (8x8 squares), 256 colors and can be infinitely large.
but yeah, I guess making it BG1/2/3/4 makes more sense. I'll use that instead.
