Please leave me feedback, I know it's not perfect, it's not where I wanted it to be but I won't have that ready for a long time, so let's just play it and have some fun :D

Works great on Windows. I remember some of those old tunes from the old days. Definitely good to see Shiny Sword back :)

Couldn't get it to run on Linux though. I get messages saying "Error reading properties file!", and then it gives the following exception:

Code:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: null
        at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)
        at Lib_Util.initPartyFile(Lib_Util.java:440)
        at Shiny_Sword.main(Shiny_Sword.java:65)

When you bring the menu up to end a turn in SF3, it defaults to "Defend" unless there's an enemy in attack range. Any chance of that being implemented? I'll give it a solid going over this weekend, but so far I'm impressed :)

Thanks Ty! 

I have no idea about what's going wrong there in linux but I'll put it on the list.

Hi Elv,

That's one hell of a big surprise!! I'll be sure to give it a try of course :D.
As for the Linux bug, have you tried running the dos2unix command on the properties file Ty?

That's just weird. Well, it's a standard Java object, so I guess the only solution then is to write a piece of Java code that writes such a file for you. Then you may be able to check out the differences in content/formatting..
