Rickochet Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) So I noticed that importing the monster animations into FE7 does not include their sound files (EX. spider walking sounds or skeleton walking sounds). Is there a way to fix this or get the sounds from FE8? I haven't come across anything that mentions the import/export of sounds. And building on the previous questions, how different is it to hack FE8 as opposed to FE7 besides FE7 being better supported in terms of how-to knowledge. Would it be harder to do things like inserting portraits, map sprites, world map events, inserting spell animations, etc? If I switched over FE8 from FE7, would there be a giant learning curve? Because I just want the monster aspect in FE7 since I learned FE7 first but if its better off working with FE8 then I will switch over.

Alusq Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 And building on the previous questions, how different is it to hack FE8 as opposed to FE7 besides FE7 being better supported in terms of how-to knowledge. Would it be harder to do things like inserting portraits, map sprites, world map events, inserting spell animations, etc? All of these things save world map events are done the exact same in FE8 as they are in FE7. The age of FE8 being a cryptic puzzle in comparison to FE7 is past, so if you're even thinking of trying FE8 modding I say go for it. You'll get split promotions and a world map that you can move around on, which are both pretty impossible in FE7. On the flip side, having the monsters in FE7 with the right sound effects will require you to export the samples (sound files) from FE8, import them back into FE7, and make a script for the animations that points to the new sound effects. Whether you want to deal with that and use FE7, or use FE8 and get more features but have to learn FE8 events, is your call. As a primarily-FE7 modder, I suggest learning FE8.

Rickochet Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) How different is the eventing in FE8? New Codes? EX. LOU1, ENUN, MUSI, etc. I looked up the codes in the EA folders and I dont see much for FE8. Edited May 16, 2015 by Rickochet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 fe8 eventing is huge different and there isn't much by way of comprehensive command listings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickochet Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 damn, was hoping it wouldn't be that different. anyone know the coordinates for the sound effects in FE8? and any pointers on how to write/edit animation scripts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vennobennu Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 For documentation on FE8's event codes, your best bet is probably this resource; it doesn't yet include detailed descriptions of each new/different code but it should suffice to work with.
