The Black Pot Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) I am currently putting together my first hack, a complete edition of FE7. Essentially, it ties all of the route splits together, so you get stuff like both Hector and Eliwood's versions of chapter 11 and both Pale Flower of Darkness chapters, letting you get all the characters and situations (with some script tweaks to maintain cohesion). One of the last things I have yet to implement is having the player go through Valorous Roland, the chapter where Eliwood gets Durandal, right after The Berserker, where Hector gets Armads. The problem is that if the playthrough is done on Hector's mode, it treats him as a mandatory unit and Eliwood as optional, meaning that it puts Hector in the hallway where Eliwood usually begins and Eliwood doesn't have to be brought at all. The reverse also occurs if doing The Berserker on Eliwood mode. Narratively this isn't obviously isn't ideal, but I haven't figured out how to change essential units flagging or placement. I would also like to add a chapter for Lyn to get her weapon, which would require having her as the mandatory character. Would anyone be able to advise me? I'm currently using FEBuilder and have Nightmare, though I don't know if there might be another program better suited for it.

Edit: Oh wait, sorry I re-read your post and I'll confess, I don't know how to add or alter chapters in FE Builder.

Go to the advanced editors tab and choose, "forced deployment", which brings you to which characters are forced in a chapter. As far as adding chapters goes, you would have to use an existing chapter and start from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
