Yep, that's probably it. All you have to do to make the game open saves from the other version is change the game's name in the editor, after all. The only reason it's a pain is because of how the engine encrypts everything, so if WolfSave has resolved that, then yeah that seems about right.
It looks like they did just that
$.Header.Game Name.value."妹！せいかつ ～ファンタジー～" (that space in the middle is an
"Living with Sister: Monochrome Fantasy".
Will definitely be cool for any Steam people who haven't seen the forums here before who might be looking to hop into the DLC.
So if I download it will the mods still work?
It is a legitimate DLC
Almost forgot to tell you about this, but the event triggered no problem for me, the 3 weirdos/animal activists right?
Oh thanks, I should test that again now that I fixed the engine version, I'd imagine it'll probably work now.
Ideal option would be a third party converter. Even I could try to make a quick and dirty one if I knew a bit more of the file format.
Oh super weird, I skipped to it as fast as I could on another save but still didn't trigger. Moved the save data to a raw JP version and... still no event? Maybe it's actually the save files and not the game itself that are doing something weird for me (I think my save data is all from technically an FFFox build, wonder if that somehow has some flag set that's breaking it).
Thankfully, I added a few hundred variables and threw mine at the very end of the list, so despite all of Inusuku's new variables, none of mine overlapped. The commonevents overlapped some, but coded my mod so that it always called by name, rather than number, so I could freely move the events further down the list to prevent mix ups.
Strange, no idea why I can't get the event to show up. I could understand my version being bugged somehow, but for it to not show up on the raw Japanese version I'm really not understanding. Guess I'll see what happens with this new save file eventually. Also, it's just that event; every other part of the story played out without issue.
Personally. i wouldn´t mind starting all over again. the game is that good
Burn the Kagura/Steam version and any trace of it, complete garbage compared to your version. If the people using that one want save compatibility then as far as I'm concerned they can wait the 6 months to 3 years for Kagura to get off their asses and do it themselves. I'm pretty sure the Kagura/Steam version sold as well as it did largely because of your efforts on the original translation building up hype for western markets. Don't underestimate your own version's popularity or over estimate the official version's, pretty sure most of us are here because of the work you did and not the work Kagura did.
personally? i don't care that much because I bought a copy from DL-site and refuse to give a penny to company like Kagura. But sure, a cross-compatibility save could help. Doesnt matter much tho IMO because everyday ppl gonna still ask for SAVE in this thread XD.
Oh hey, I found the problem that was making CommonEvent 448 have issues, and it is a save compatibility issue with old FFFox saves. It looks like this script has a jump command to skip the story event part that checks the value of local variable CSelf11. However, this script was used by FFFox Mod for some animation stuff and had set CSelf11 to a random number between 1-10. This must end up getting saved, and since it's higher than 0 (which is what the jump command checks for), the base game ends up skipping the event. Looks like it's meant to allow the kuma bear fight to happen without the event on repeat encounters (is that even a thing?) as it sets the variable to 1 for the next time if it evaluates to 0.
