Kobazco Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Fire Emblem Weapon Reversal Weapon Reversal is more or less a reskin of Sacred Stones that changes every (yes every) unit to a class they are weak to. Both routes are finally done! Disclaimer: Super Trainees will not work, do not attempt to use them. New classes and animations have been added to compensate for lack of certain weapon types. (I don't update the main post's changelog as often as I should. For latest patch notes check the what is likely the latest comment!) Images: All (finished) palettes done by Datagne. Note that not all palettes are done for all units yet. Units that have more than one weapon type are usually reclassed based on their highest ranked weapon. Example a cavalier with a D in swords and a E in lances would be reclassed to a unit using Lances. Units who use 3 types of weapons (Duessel) are reclassed as I saw fit. I appreciate any balance suggestions. NOTE: The game has been tested on hard mode, and as such I suggest playing on hard mode. Changelog: All of Eirika's chapters are finished. Dragoons now gain +15% bonus to crits much like Berserkers Viewing a units stats will tell you their growth rates, press select to see them. Also includes a nice color code (Grey-Green) to see a small indicator of growths. Pressing select during a battle will show you the "danger area", much like modern Fire Emblem games do. Press A while in the danger area to view healing area. Fixed the Sword Bandit's map sprite. Changed Ross's (terrible) animation. Female Fighter animation added for Amelia. All classes now have proper weaknesses (Axe Cavalier having weakness to Horseslayer, etc.) Remember that terrible animation Ross had? Yeah thats gone now and has a better one in its place.

ThatOneSniper Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Well, I want to play this ROM it looks interesting and fun but when I try to patch it to an FE8 rom it just goes haywire for me. Can you fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliwan Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Can confirm Eirika's map sprite crashes the game when patched to a vanilla FE8 ROM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornguy Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 This looks like a fun concept, I'll have to give it a try. How did you decide which characters would become wyvern/pegasus riders or cavaliers rather than myrmidons/mercenaries or soldiers? Also, where do thieves and archers fit into the mix? If you chose by personal preference, that's cool, I was just curious. Sadly I can't check the document on my Vita, but I'll have fun being surprised.

Kobazco Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Ewan is classified as "unclear"... What? Speaking of, do trainees have proper super trainee classes?

Enaluxeme Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Tried this out, it looks pretty good. Some complaints, tho: -too many axe users at the beginning. It's not a problem by itself, but having the hitrate stuck at 50% is frustrating. I suggest making Franz a lance wielding unit(he uses swords and lances in vanilla, so lances would have an advantage or be neutral, it should make sense in your hack) or add the accet to someone's inventory. -Cutthroat's battle animation sucks. Please change it. I like the idea of having sword bandits, and the female mercenary map sprite is actually pretty fitting, but that animation is a no-no, which is a shame when the other custom sprites I saw are so neat. -Please don't recycle sprites for the jurneyman, both map and battle. Also, fix Valter's palette, but you probably know that already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look into different sword animations when I get home.The journeyman only has its map sprite used, Ephraim has a custom animation. I'll reply in more depth when I get home Edited August 17, 2016 by Kobazco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Pelleas Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'm really looking forward to this project. - Will you change the name Jorneysman to Journeyswomam? - No thiefs? -Will Ewan be a light magic user?? He can promote to Mage or Shaman in the vanilla.But When promoted to Shaman he loses his Anima rank. So we could asume that his best weapon rank is Anima(I guess?). Or his promotion path could be either a Monk or a Shaman(again), or it could be changed into a thief and Knight,since his Speed and Defense growth aren't one of the best.

Ross's Journeyman Sword class promotes to either thief or myrmidon. If you want him to be a swordmaster, don't worry. All chest keys have 5 uses to compensate for not having a thief. As for Ewan, the current plan is to have him start with Dark magic and promote to either Monk or Shaman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobazco Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 New patch out. This one is completed for the most part until chapter 17 of Ephraim route. Here is a list of changes All unpromoted palettes are now finished. Gilliam has his promoted palettes done. Franz is now a Pegasus Knight Tana is now an Axe wielding cavalier that promotes to a Great Knight. Will add Axe Paladin at a later date. Characters who still had their old weapon ranks in addition to their new ones (example Innes using bows and magic) have been fixed. It is now no longer impossible to recruit Rennac, he will now run around the level randomly until you recruit or kill him. Amelia's class now promotes to the correct classes. There might be more that I've just managed to forget. Here is the new patch: http://www.mediafire.com/download/jpfk1t98zf6866u/Weapon_Reversal_First_Update.ups This will work with old save files, although I suggest starting over because if you don't Tana and Franz will not be their new classes if you have already recruited them.

TheUltimateChaos Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 1. Seems that the palette for Vanessa got changed to the generic one (brown hair and blue clothes).2. The palettes for Ross in both Thief and Myrmidon are kinda off. Besides of that good hack so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuggaafan1 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 perhaps, for the pegasus trio, add tellius/awakening's axe wyverns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobazco Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 perhaps, for the pegasus trio, add tellius/awakening's axe wyverns? I wanted them to be more unique than still being fliers but with axes. While the overall point of this mod was to change people to have weapons they are weak to, I wanted it to be more unique by changing the classes of most people as much as I can to be different.

Steakbrine Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 The boss of chapter 5x has a Spear in his inventory, but he has only a C in Lances so he cannot attack. He also uses Swords, but it says that halberdiers only use Lances. Is it a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobazco Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Well first off he should be a soldier and not a Halberdier. He should also have a javelin. I guess I'll release a new version when I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobazco Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 New patch. Here's a change log of all the stuff I can remember Boss of Chapter 5x now is the proper class and has right equipment. Chapter 17B is now finished. Female Berserker class is in the game now. Vanessa promotes to it. Brigands bases/growths buffed. Halberdier/Dragoon bases/growths moved around a bit. Unpromoted monster classes have been buffed Chapter 4 has been reversed (Monsters). Eirkia/Ephraim promotions are in the game. Siegmund/Sieglinde are their respective weapon types.
