URGENCY:
High.

PURPOSE:
Between the Battle for the Frozen Esper and the Opera House event, Shadow can be found in Kohlingen. If you don't have a full party, you can recruit Shadow to your party for 3000 GP. However, Shadow will automatically leave your party if you try to enter Narshe. So if the only members of your party now are Gau and Shadow, you can go to the Veldt, have Gau Leap, then take Shadow to Narshe. If you do this, Shadow will leave you with an empty party, unable to move, unable to continue the game.

Imzogelmo has already made a patch that fixes this issue by preventing Shadow from leaving the party if he's the only member, while still preserving his inability to enter Narshe. My patch is different; it still allows Shadow to leave the party, but if the party empties as a result, it opens the party selection screen and you have the ability to select a new party that starts in Arvis's house. You might prefer his fix over mine, and that's OK. Be warned that his patch also alters some properties of the spells Sun Bath and El Nino, and adds Sun Bath to HadesGigas's list of Control commands.

VERSION HISTORY:
v1.3 (July 13, 2017): Added the PS1 patches. Also slightly reduced the sizes of all other patches.

v1.2 (September 18, 2016): Added the GBA patches.

v1.1 (April 20, 2016): This patch was previously broken due to a subroutine call that ended up causing a logical error. The subroutine was supposed to put the lead party member on the map, but that party member was nonexistent because the party was empty. This subroutine call has now been moved to where it will no longer cause an issue.

v1.0 (April 19, 2016): Initial release. Thanks to Imzogelmo for his patch, on which mine is based.
