Compilation of all patches released for 1.8.5 so far

For everyone's convenience, here's a single patch containing all the bug fixes and other changes slated for inclusion in the upcoming 1.8.6 release.

Apply over a fresh Brave New World 1.8.5. ROM (not included). Archive contains both headered and non-headered patches.

Brave New World 1.8.6 pre-beta (updated to version 2)

Contributors: dn, Seibaby, Think0028, Nowea

The following bug fixes are included:

• Fix for the Quartrstaff/Doomstick crash issue.
• Fix for the Y-Equip Relics patch incompatibility issue.
• Fix for the Dice/Fixed Dice glitch/crash issue.
• Correct stats for the Kagenui.
• Fix for the issue with X-Fight and Dual Wield damage penalties not stacking (no standalone release yet).

The following balance tweaks are included for beta testing:

• Speed Tweak (character-only version)
• Initial ATB tweak
• Master Thief
• Quicksteal

Ugh, thank you *so* much. This update has gotten way out of hand.

One of these days I'll find some time and motivation to actually collate these and put out a new version.

Maybe.

Meanwhile, here's Think's code for the X-Fight fix.

Thanks for putting this together.
I've been itching to play the new version of BNW but with all the different "official" patches being made for it I was just going to wait for whenever 1.8.6 came out.
But with all major patches and fixes bundled conveniently here I think I'll go ahead and start playing it now.

Updated to add the Quicksteal patch.

Can't wait to start a new run with these babies.

If patched correctly, will it say 1.8.6 in the config menu?

Edit: the answer is no.

No. This is not the official 1.8.6 release.

Can someone help me? I can't patch the rom. Can anyone send me a rom patched with the mod?

Gonna go ahead and close this thread since these patches are no longer relevant.
