reeZ931 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I made a black fang campaign patch. players control lloyd, linus, and nino as they take down the army of ostia and the lords of lycia and all other heroes from the original game. 95% units you can obtain are members of the black fang. oh and there is no athos. a certain somebody swaps places with him. if anybody is interested, feel free to ask me for the rom. I just joined this site so i'm not sure what the rules are for posting rom hacks and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't do it again. @Underlined: The rules are here: http://serenesforest...tion=boardrules LunarIPS or NUPS are the tools you could use to make a patch, find them here: http://feshrine.net/hacking/patchers.html Edited August 13, 2010 by Sirius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongLei Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'd assume u just go into nups and click create patch rather than patch a file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeZ931 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 wait. what is the difference between a rom patch and a rom hack? with my rom, it is a copy of the game that has changes to the text, character portraits and classes and stuff, so what is it considered to be?

HongLei Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Okay go to the topic titled "patching tutorial" probably right above this one it is pinned and it was made by arch all it looks like u do is download nups and go to create patch and select the original rom and the edited rom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongLei Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) Okay go download nups open nups get an unedited rom place unedited rom in the unedited spot place edited in the edited spot and click create patch That's pretty much what arch said in his tutorial so it should work Edited August 14, 2010 by HongLei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 The reason why people want a patch is because they were told that's what you do and they don't question it. The logical thought behind a patch is that you are only bringing over the changes, not the original data, and so, you're not actually infringing on any copyright or ownership. That doesn't make sense, considering your patch can still contain items that are not your own, existing code you did not create, and other such things. Basically, people do make patches because they assumed it was what you do. Let them, whatever, doesn't matter in the end of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Red Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 If you want others to play your game without getting banned for uploading a 16MB or bigger ROM, then yes, you have to make a patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
