Fe7 Blizzard Lance (Weapon Reversal)

[Princess Ruffles]

This is Fire Emblem Blizzard Lance. A hack that was heavily inspired by Kobazco's Fe8 WR hack.
A weapon reversal hack changes all unit's and enemies classes to a class that uses a weapon type that has advantage over it (i.e Mages to Shamans, thieves to wyvern riders)

Since I only used Kobazco's as inspiration instead as a truly loyal creation for fe7 there were some changes I made that I thought would be more intersting.
Lyn- Uses Axes/Armads
Eliwood- Lance Cavalier/Maltet
Hector- Swords (Lances on promotion)/Durandal
Dorcas-Thief
Karla-Warrior
Athos- Can use Armads, Maltet,and Durandal

It Changes Lyn mode and Hector modes to completion only, future plans for Eliwood modes may be happening in the not so distant future. All modes are open on a clean save fortunately


Latest version can be obtained here:

I was a little bit on the fence about giving Lyn axes, and I still kinda am, giving her that Swordreaver was very obviously necessary, but the "Axi Katta, an axe Lyn has Con for" has mostly swayed me over.

Wrong subforum, yo!

[Princess Ruffles]

Oh I'm sorry, I don't come here too often, I should've looked at it more

Yeah anyway about to get a new patch out. V. 1.3

[AnonymousSpeed]

I ran through Lyn mode and had a few things to point out:

• The boss from Blood of Pride is not reclassed, I noticed
• There's a brigand in 7x with an iron sword and no axes
• Yogi has C lances, but D axes isn't enough to weird his Swordreaver. Some pegasus knights also have weapon ranks for non-lance weapons, but since they wield no such weapons, that's fine. I don't know if you want to mess with the AI for this chapter a bit, but it's weird that a troubadour is camping out in the ballista when an archer is right near there.
• There's a pirate with only a spear in Chapter 10

***

I started up HHM for a little bit and noticed that Bartre still has D axes, and Matthew still has D swords. Not sure if that's the case in Lyn mode, though.

Don't worry all these issues have been fixed and a tad more. I won't be able to update the link to a newer patch until later

I don't know if this is something you already addressed, but on CH 18 (The Dread Isle) the game freezes and crashes the moment Fiora spawns.

[Princess Ruffles]

@Bob of the A That was fixed very early on after release, I'm about to drop a patch thats dubbed version "final 3" in a few minutes depending on when you see this post it'll be up. It fixed a few enemy class issues and classes with wrong weapons since Fiora's little bug was fixed

This is really neat, tried it out in Lyn Normal and Kent is great.

Regardless if this counts as a necropost, I need to say this.

 

As the creator of the original FE8 Weapon Reversal hack, I can't believe I am just now learning that other people made Weapon Reversal hacks of other Fire Emblem games. Seeing these makes me so very happy, and I can't wait to give them a try!
