InvdrZim13 Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Damn. That blows. Props for getting it to work. Maybe when I have time could you show me what you did to get the Hexing Rod to work in the first place? I think I making the AI not be dumb about using it if I can figure out how it works. Or is that just a "we're keeping this ASM hidden for now until the hack is complete?" I don't know about the AI stuff but the code currently needs an overhaul so the hp restoring part works properly (which is why it's in 1-F and not earlier). Also don't know when the code is being released since I wasn't the one who made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datagne Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The hexing rod code, as it stands, is fairly hardcoded. In order to get it to revert back to the normal HP, we have to run a special code at the end of chapter (Which is currently not working). If we were to release this code, then it would have to be that the user has to do nothing special in order to get it to work, which it cannot do as of now. At any rate, this hexing rod stuff needs a redo, cause I broke many a thing whilst making it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not very knowledgeable on this aspect of FE hacking, but do you mind if I ask this: can you make new status effects? Perhaps you can make one called "enfeebled?" So that way the AI would ignore the character like they do for any other status effect when inflicted with it? I need to get back into hacking again. It's been too long.

If we used a status effect then it could just be fixed with restore, which we don't want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point.Sorry, I just find the HR intriguing. I didn't think anyone would actually do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urug99 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Look at it this way; with tweaks to the hexing rod, the hexing rod could have more uses than just... 1. You can safely use it more than once in this engine. You could get creative by having nasty traps with reinforcements that have Hexing Rods to muck with you to kill you for quick kills if you aren't paying attention. And that's my thing here. I want it tweaked because fixing it to the way that was suggested by Niddo would be amazing. Yeah that would be interesting, this clears things up a lot too. So to stop it from targeting the same unit....usually res is the variable used for the AI to determine which character to hit, I think anyways. Maybe you could program it to check for HP instead, so they would actually target the character with the highest HP. If it was possible to make it use a formula that involved both res and HP it would be even better, but either way usually the units with the highest HP have low res anyways. Not sure if any of this would be possible, just brainstorming. Another thing to keep in mind, lets say it DID hit the same unit twice... you would have to make sure that when you call the special code at the end of the battle, that it would revert back to "normal" instead of just reverting the effects of one of the hexing rod attacks. Course all this would depend on if you guys can even get the code working, and make it somehow wear off slowly. =P Man lots of code for a stupid staff lol. It is neat though and impressive coding.

InvdrZim13 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Minor status update: The siege user in 1-10 is gone, siege tomes now have 7 uses instead of 10, 1-11 and 1-F siege users are unchanged, except for the ballista who got deleted from 1-11. Dulam (dark siege tome) has 65% base hit instead of 70% S2-1 is done, 15 chapters to go for Act 2. End me. As always, some units have been tweaked but I'm dumb and didn't write it down anywhere. But trust me it happened. I'm done with finals on the 13th so I'll hopefully have more time to focus on this, assuming I can get a list of changes together there might be a release with the fixes before the end of the year. Although frankly I can't remember everything that was supposed to be fixed so who knows if it'll happen or not. Like I said before there might just not be a release until half of act 2 is done, there's a decent chance of a "1.6.5" or a "1.7" (version numbering is fucking arbitrary man) release, but don't get upset if it doesn't happen.

InvdrZim13 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Huzzah, less siege spam! The only idea I have for changing up 11 any more is making the druid into a Shaman and moving him down a tile so you can nail him with people besides Stark if he has a longbow. I'm aware of the slowdown in 11 and Final, not really sure how it could be fixed though, aside from reducing enemy count at the start and having more show up later.

InvdrZim13 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Just kidding I lied about not changing the siege stuff in 1-F: The sage that comes in as a reinforcement on turn 6 has a bolting instead of Meteor. The treasure room sage doesn't have a siege tome anymore. The Druid with Dulam has a sleep staff instead of Dulam. And for 1-F in general I removed some of the units from the map to hopefully lessen the lag that is encountered when things get a bit crowded. For 1-10 and 1-11 some of the enemies you wouldn't fight until later in the map have been converted into reinforcements that come a couple turns in, which will hopefully fix the slowdown issue in those maps.

TheNiddo Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hopefully the 1-10 changes work out as expected. That was a particularly bad map for me with its never ending reinforcements. Also yaaaaay no siege tome in the treasure room. That was a complete ball breaker and momentum killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tequila Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 time limit means number of times u can go for arena ? Time limit means a limited number of turns, which effectively limits the number of times you can go to the arena as well. So, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of turns you have to complete the map, so the number of turns you have to use the arena is limited. From a design standpoint I loathe arena abuse as it trivializes the game, so I'm taking steps to prevent that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
