I logged in after who knows how many years of anon-lurking just to say THANK YOU TC. Back in the days many years ago I, myself, struggled to make a clean, polished menu patch. Had to modify pointers, the font graphics and whatnot to make it decently nice although incompatible with the story patch. As I didn't want to play with either a clean menu patch or a story patch with garbled gameplay text (or vice versa) I simply didn't play more than the 1st chapter. Now I can finally play this game (at least for 6 chapters). I know one day you'll have this completed. I will put this on my backlog for now, but I will be watching this thread (as I have been since last year and the previous thread). You deserve WAY more replies and thanks, I guess it's because this thread is burried in "Fan Projects" instead of the NES-SNES ERA sub board... Anyway, I wish you all the best in your daily life TC.

That's weird cause I was chasing Cath and her pal since they ignored me and went for the side room in the corridor left to the boss throne room because I was stepping on EVERY chest of the main hall. Turned out I killed everything except the boss before I caught up with them two thiefs (including the two stairs' reinforcements) and once I did catch up to them, they had already looted the Magic user promotion item and that pegasus/wyvern one too (IIRC), but I was perfectly able to steal back with Astohl /Astol / Astorre / whatever his real name is... That was nice cause I expected them two to flee by stepping outside of the map... And Roy didn't talk to her yet. Welp, after I had him talk to her, she wouldn't disappear either. And her thief pal wouldn't move an inch either (I killed him in the end after stealing his lockpicks). Dunno if my game is broken or something. I got some weirdass bug on chap 10A with Gonzaless when his Devil Axe was backfiring vs a reinforcement pirate at the bottom of the map (next to the two forts) and he took 30 damage from himself, then the enemy pirate counter attacks and connects, but at that point it's the enemy pirate's HP digits that start to scroll and cycle ad infinitum with weird symbols while the rest of the screen is hanging lol. Maybe both "bugs" have to do with the "new" 2013 1.0 patch from the sticky post ... EDIT: Well, of course you CANNOT steal weapons (equipped or not), only items (vulneraries, lockpicks, orbs/gems, stat boosters and promotion items)... Only issue on that map is if / when you DO let Cath & her pal come and grab the main hall chests. Thankfully I was kinda rushing in since my team was pretty strong already... Dieck + Rutger + Lance were able to clean the whole first half of the map effortlessly. In the end, my Oujay turned out to be BETTER than both Dieck & Rutger, except for his 2 SPEED deficit, he has same HP, higher STR, higher DEF, same or higher SKL and LUCK... So screw Fir, I'll stick to Oujay I guess. Also, Allan/Allen is becoming more and more crap, he got like 10 SPD at lv 14 (lol) with 7 def. Heck even Noah has better stats by now (except for STR)... And Treck got SPD screwed as well, he doesn't even has more than Noah wtf. Oh well :D

Oh I didn't fight the FE6 cast in Awakening as I didn't know who those characters were at the time. I already found some of the other localized names for some older games weird as well... AFAIK there are even different localizations for some games between NOA/NOE/NOJ lmao. Oh well. I'll look into the rom to see if I can revert those changes.

Hey guys, currently playing this game for the first time ever, using this patch. (I already hate the craptastic low hitrates, same turn acting enemy reinforcements and 80% of the cast having terribad growths/usability :D ) My question is: why are so many character names changed, some are even barely recognizable (Thany -> Shanna? wut?) And in consequence, is there a GUI tool to edit them back to their old fantranslated names (since I make heavy use of FE message boards since a long time ago (R.I.P FESS) and it's kinda a pita to have weirdass names when everybody used/still uses the old fantranslated names, heck I still go by old fantranslated names for FE 4 despite the official nintendo names for ex) I guess I could just hexedit them but I didn't do any romhacking / translating/ sprite editing in forever :(

Yup, it won't do anything if you apply the menu patch and then the 'main' patch on top of it. See, the ips patches are just a plain file used to transform the whole rom into another state (IE: with all edits to it to the font table, translations, visual edits etc). If you apply the menu patch, it'll translate the menu (duh) but when you apply the mainstory patch, it will just transform the rom into that translation and revert menu translation edits. I myself tried 6-7 years ago IIRC to clean up the menu mess of the main translation... From what I recall, the rom was a complete mess, no pointer redirection could fix it. I recall some of the menu parts were plainly using some graphic parts of the font table at the end of the rom, but I couldn't find a way to repoint those to a basic font. That, and space limitations (IE: only 2 characters available) were annoying too. But I'm a newb, I just was able to do basic pointer redirections and graphic edits (with the font table) back in the day, following some advices here and there (on the old FESS sites and asking Celice for advices). Maybe someone with time to waste would be able to clean off the menu mess, but as others said, it's not worth the trouble. Tl; dr there won't be any fixed translation anytime soon, until those guys finish their tool. I think you'd have better chance waiting for an official Intelligent System remake than for a new translation lol.
