Arch Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Eliwood is the tryhard lord. His battle quote had to reflect that (also I changed "bastards" to "dastards" because it's the right thing to do). Speaking of things to do. Arch all you ever post anymore are stat screens. Sell your VBA, kid. I'm working on Rath's Tale Hard Mode, and it's really really really quite fuuun. There've been a few substantial changes to the tale's gameplay as of now. First off, the treasure chests have been reconfigured since they're tied to an achievement. Now, you'll get items based on the number of chests you have opened--starting with some shitty Bronze Bows and such. Your first key is an enemy drop, and the second chest key is your fifth item. Open all thirteen to unlock the achievement. Gotta watch out for Rogues, though; if one opens a chest, another Rogue will pop out of the chest! Don't ask me to justify that in the script, just roll with it. Before, there were chests based on luck like desert items; this was kind of painful to play with, since most people would get Bronze weapons and fake Elixirs and some would report bugs about Elixirs not working (but only in Rath's Tale, teehee). Secondly, I've redone my laziness reinforcements. Six sets of stairs (leading to what, idk, it's a cave under a cave?), where various enemies will spawn, either every 4th turn, or every 2nd turn (starting after turn 10 in Normal Mode). Before, I just dumped all the stair units into one batch of spawns every so often. There'll be more of a consistent enemy presence throughout the cave. Also you'll notice that Wayra actually made his way to the map. I've taken out Prasad's crit in the opening sequence (still gets doubled tho like a scrub), but Wayra makes an appearance as a boss only in hard mode. Now reclassed to Summoner, he'll conjure up Phantoms, who receive no movement penalties from any tile. Basically, his minions will chase you through the cave maze, running through walls. He can only keep one at a time, thank goodness. Welcome back to the troll king's cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodperson707 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Why is eliwood commenting on his enemies parents marital status or lack thereof. Edit okay dastards is better Quite frankly while I've always been looking forward to more of this hack whenever it updates, but from what I've seen in the past couple years I'm not sure if all the added stuff will work together it just seems to me like it wont mix well, oh well ill just wait and see how i enjoy it this introduced me to rom hacking so i hope it does.

Parrhesia Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Why is eliwood commenting on his enemies parents marital status or lack thereof. Are you unfamiliar with the use of the word 'bastard' as an insult... ? You know the remarkable thing about this hack is it never really seems like feature creep - everything that's in it so far seems like a genuine beneficial addition to the end product. So yeah, glad things are still clicking on, and looking forward to playing it at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thiiis cruel (in Hard Mode): He'll keep summoning Phantoms, one-by-one, until you kill him. As you can see, they now walk through walls.

CaptainAdalwin Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Hey, this hack looks really great, it seems like you've put a lot of effort into it. However, I'm having a problem playing it and I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong. I used the .ups from the main download link on the OP, and tried to use NUPS to patch it to an FE7 file (100% clean.) The program told me that the patch didn't match the file, so I made a back-up copy of the ROM and tried to do it anyway, and, as expected, VBA was unable to load it. I looked around the forums and this thread to see if there were any clues as to what the problem is, but as far as I can tell I'm doing everything right. Does anyone have a clue what could be the issue? Forgive me if this has already come up in this thread and I missed it, but I didn't see it while searching through, and I am pretty eager to play the game. EDIT: I figured out the problem, I was trying to patch a .zip file, not a .gba file, ignore this post.

Eliwan Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 What goodperson707 clearly meant was in reference to the "Feature Creep"-- and that the introduction of this doesn't feel like it When it is, by the definition of 'creep', a form of feature creep. It comes somewhere, and then others adopt it. That is feature creep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverHairedFreak25 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Dumb question. In Kent's tale, when I bring Lyn along, she can't talk to Hervor to end the chapter. I know in a previous version she could. Is this a glitch or has the option been removed entirely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) So this is what happens when I chill with ghast on Sunday mornings. He needed spell animation help, and I ended up making one myself. So now EN's got a new FE2 throwback. Icon is slightly recolored from an open source contribution made by Lisandra_Brave. As always, you can find my spell animations in this open source archive hosted on FEU. Edited June 7, 2015 by Arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 But Slime isn't long range in FE2 gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) But Slime isn't long range in FE2 gosh Maybe I'll make it a "Longbow" tome at 2-5 or sth. Also I ended up adding a few more dark animations (made from pieces of FE8's monster spells). Worm gets a basic animation to differentiate it from Flux (it probably needs a new icon now tho?). Niime's Grimoire gets the ability to attack at 1-range only; it cannot counter-attack or be countered, so she's garaunteed an attack without reprecussions when using it (and it's strong enough to peck off most weakened enemies). As for Dulam, I'm strongly considering scrapping its current effect in favor of something new. Being a close-range Eclipse is kinda boring in this day and age, right? Not to mention that it's an utterly useless addition. So, I'm opening the floor to effect suggestions for Dulam.

Xtremekiwi Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 brings down opponent's HP to 1, does 1 HP damage if HP == 1 (hey look it's the original effect from FE3) Of course, it would have to have the accuracy of Eclipse from FE6, making it utterly useless.
