Skills as Scrolls for FE8?

[GreekDudeYiannis]

Quick question!


Would it be possible to set some of the skills into scrolls in such a way that one could have the scroll in their inventory (or use it), and give them skills like Great Shield or Pierce?

This doesn't support held items or skill scrolls yet, but they should be easy enough to add and in the mean time you can use it to give skills anyway

Oh my goodness. This is amazing. I rooted around through the files, and though there's a file that writes out which skills are finished, is there a document somewhere that details what each skill does? Like, I have an idea what most of them do, but what does Savior do for example?


Also, I just noticed that you're the fellow who wrote this fantastical series of files. This is amazing. You're a terrific fellow.

i'm not sure, but a certain Japanese hack had books/scrolls for skills. It was called either Fire Emblem Midori or Fire Emblem Green

Thanks, skill descriptions are covered in "Text/skilldesc_text.txt".

Thank you so much! I feel silly for missing that the first time around. How easy would you say it is to program one's own skills? Not terribly complex ones, but stuff like Dragonskin and a Counter that would only affect Bow users that are 4 tiles away or somethin' along those lines? 


Also, what's the difference between Rally Strength and Spur Strength? They seem to do the same thing according to the text.

Skills are easy to make if you know a bit of asm (which sadly not many bother to learn)

Rally is a command skill that gives +4 to a single unit, Spur is a passive that gives +4 to adjacent units.
