Siuloir Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Out of curiosity, will FEXNA have full screen? And, if I want to insert CGs into full screen FEXNA, what would be their size? I don't think there would be a colour limit for CGs though. You could have figured this out from actually trying FE7x, which runs in the right reso--\ Oh who am I kidding.

Hidan66666 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 A hack made in FEXNA can be run in gba? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 A hack made in FEXNA can be run in gba? No, FEXNA is not for ROM hacking. It creates .exe files, iirc really I barely show up here and I find some of this silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 A hack made in FEXNA can be run in gba? GBA is GBA, you know that. FEXP is using the RPG Maker XP program to sorta fudge FE games. It's not exactly made to make those types of games, so it's very clunky. Also, it's unfinished, so there are lots of bugs. FEXNA, however, is an engine that is modified specifically for making FE games. Do a lot of people here have memory loss or something? This question was answered a page or so back as well.

Hidan is Russian, and his English isn't great. I suspect that plays into the comprehension. Baldur is just...Baldur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldur45 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Is there a list for the skills in FEXNA? I know to add in our own skills, we would have to code them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonelyVoxel Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 If a n00b like me is looking to make a ROM hack that's changes mostly story and maps than replacing any classes and things like that, would FEXNA be a better option than to hack into FE7?

Klokinator Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 No, because you're looking to make a hack and FEXNA isn't hacking. But seriously now, you either make a game from scratch with fexna, or you edit an existing game heavily, even to the point of no recognizability with rom hacking.

And making a game from scratch sounds much easier then an inexperienced hacker changing random bytes and praying the game does not melt down and crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonelyVoxel Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I used the term ROM hack too widely there, sorry. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Kitty Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 And making a game from scratch sounds much easier then an inexperienced hacker changing random bytes and praying the game does not melt down and crash wrong wrong wrong making a game from scratch is ridiculously more difficult then just editing an existing game; it actually requires a lot more than editing a rom mainly because the existing game is already complete while the one from scratch is... not.

Klokinator Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It comes with classes and animation, yeah. You still have to put way more work into creating a game from scratch, the process itself is just a lot easier and less obtuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 If you're making a game from scratch, you still have tons of things like maps, mugs, text, enemy balance (stats/placement), if you just want to make something that equates to a minor rom hack, make a minor rom hack.

Brendor Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I think "from scratch" implies not having all the programs and resources and entire engine readily available for you to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Kitty Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 From scratch implies that you have no base you're editing; you're creating the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than custom animations, that's pretty much what I want to do. Down the road my idea might necessitate custom animations, but I guess it's on the big idea side of things.

verirud Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) quick favor, can /feg/ over at 4chans /vg/ use this? they are making a rom hack and we could really use this. Edited February 8, 2015 by verirud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsGoForIt Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 It's less a 'ROM hack' and more "lots of people got really excited about making something and being able to properly contribute to the community". The real question to be asked is: is there a way that we (or a single someone, at least) could get a copy of it so that we can begin hammering away and hoping for the best? The current fear is that interest in the project will die if we don't start proper work on it (beyond making mugshots, battle spritesheets, etc.), and FEXNA looks like one of the most effective and useful tools for that. The fact that it is in Private Beta, however, means that it would be difficult to work on something like this unless it was allowed to be used as of right now. Thank you for your understanding in-advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
