Maybe this is just because I'm the author, but I didn't have too much trouble with the 3rd wave of reinforcements. Though, here's a little fun fact; the 3rd wave of reinforcements aren't turn based. They start showing up once you've gotten close enough to the boss. I'll probably have to give the player a warning of this so it's more fair.

This is very useful feedback. Which parts in particular did you feel relied on luck?

Set NUPS to ignore when you patch it. It should work fine.

It's for FE7 US version. Use NUPS to patch it

Alright, I'll send you all the latest patch.

There's about 10 people who are playtesters for the chapter. Sorry buddy. ;) @Luffy: I'll send it to you ASAP. However, right now I'm making a few map changes (which also means I need to change enemy placements to fit the changes).

Hello. I've been practicing my skills in level design lately, and have been having people playtest my hack (Called the "Help Me, Help You" project on the emblem brigade forums). I was wondering if anyone on serenes would like to join. Preferably people who are very skilled at fire emblem. Here's some screens of the hack. I take criticism VERY seriously, however, recently I've been finding that not everyone gives the best feedback, and some of it is counterintuitive to my intentions. I've been hoping to look for people with high credibility to make sure my chapter is both challenging and fun. Thanks in advance.

You might need to watch your back from now on. I think the Fire Emblem cult might be sending assassins at you as we speak. That or they're going to contradict you with their posts. :3

The whole story's there for lulz. I sort of improvised as I wrote it. Sorry about your hack.

Official thread: http://shrineofseals...ad.php?tid=1130 ... Because I couldn't think of something else, except the Electric Boogaloo, and even then, Seph1212 had to suggest that. Anyway. [spoiler=Story]In the great troll war, Marc was a fierce warrior. He single handedly defeated the evil troll empire and permanantly destroyed it's secret world threatening military weapon, codenamed HITMARC (Hacks Invented To Make Agents Repulsively Cry). After bypassing the weapon's tight security measures and activating it's self destruct sequence, Marc quickly escaped on a helicopter operated by former imperial soldier Hithere1, and watched in the horizon as the island containing the weapon lit up in flames and tainted the sky with dark clouds of smoke. With it's only means of holding the world hostage nuetralized, the troll empire surrendered and the war ended. Marc retired, and lived a life of semi-leisure with his beloved wife, Reisen Udongein Inaba. Time passed as did the flames of war. However, unbeknownst to everyone, someone was ready to reignite the fire. Years later, a bomb was dropped on the FES, decimating thousands of innocent people and sending the country into panic and turmoil. In hopes of recieving aid, Blazer, the president of FES sent a message explaining what happened to his allying country, SoS. Upon reading the letter, Death, the present of SoS, was distraught. His ally was in danger yet no reports could identify the war planes that launched the attack. However, days later, the SoS pentagon recieved a fax that was apparently sent by the empress of the troll empire, Cedar Nyx. Archibald, general of the SoS military took the letter and, with trembling hands, read it's carefully thought out message. "LOL. U thought I wuz ded. give me a milion money and mak me a mod or ill kill u" Archibald paused for a moment and contemplated the order he would give to his leutenant. With the raise of one hand, he ordered that the fax's transmission to be traced. Meanwhile, on the Emblem brigade islands, Marc was enjoying a cozy summer vacation at the beach. While working on his tan, Marc's butler, BuringPenitentEngine came running out of marc's summer resort mansion with a cordless phone in his hand. "It's from the General!" said BPE. Marc removed his sunglasses and got up off of his lounge chair to answer the call. "... What do you want." "Marc. It's me, Archibald. We worked together on a secret mission that ended the troll war." "... Get to the point, Archy." "We need your help. The pentagon traced a transmission that was apparently given by the one responsible for the bombing in FES. Cedar Nyx has returned, and only you can stop her." "Forget it, Arch. I retired years ago. I'm done with this game of hide and seek once and for all." "Is there really no way to get you to reconsider?" "Apparently I didn't myself clear the first time" growled Marc. "... Then I suppose you wouldn't save the world even if I told you your wife's life was on the line?" "Reisen? What did you do to her!?" "She's here at the pentagon. If you ever want to feel the fur of her ears again, you'll do as I say." Marc stood silent. For so long he had promised himself to never go down the path of the killer once again, but the one he loved, the reason for him living was at stake. Defeated and humbled, Marc complied to Arch's wishes and hung up the phone. Then, he got down on his knees and looked at the cloud decorated sky. In a piercing yell, he screamed. "ARCHIBAAAAAAAAAALD!!!" Marc's battle was never over. It was just beginning. This is, as the title suggests, the second ragefest contest that I have held. The rules are a bit different from the first contest. Here are the changes (See the spoiler tag that says "Rules") The Goal: - Make a creative one-chapter hack that is both rage-inducingly hard, and funny. [spoiler=Rules]- Custom events and maps required. - Do not make your chapter overly reliant on luck. Luck is a factor that should not be used as padding for genuine difficulty, and is a display of lazy/poor design. In other words, it's not creative, or fun. - Do not make your chapter require mass amounts of guessing. Figuring out how to beat your chapter shouldn't be cryptic. And finding hints should not require me to, for example, step on a random, completely non-suspicious tile to activate it. All this does is prolong gameplay, and does not make the chapter interesting, hard, or funny. - Arenas are banned - If your chapter has FE5 styled fog of war OR the vision range is less than 3, you must have an obtainable torch early on in the chapter. - You may have as many maps as you like. - The creator can put in at most 2 prompts that tell the player to savestate. These will serve as "checkpoints" to help make the chapter less tedious if the player ends up dying a lot. - With the exception of the above rule, the chapter must be beatable WITHOUT savestates. - To confirm that the chapter is beatable without savestates, the chapter must be playtested completely blind by people other than the author. - You may have as many people help you with your chapter as you want. [spoiler=Guidelines]- Although trial and error is okay, there's a point where it can get annoying. Try to be fairly lenient on your traps, and remember, make them funny and trollerific. The checkpoint rule helps make these traps less annoying, so time your checkpoints carefully. - Surprise me and catch me off guard. That's how you get the best reactions. =3 - Try not to be repetitive with how you troll me. Some things get annoying and or tedious quickly. - Group work is encouraged. [spoiler=Confirmed Competitors]ShadowOfChaos Hithere1 24fitz FELover3 Camtech075 Astra & Seph1212 (Teamed up) Ezra Jade Koryion Ephraim225 healthylunch MasterOfNobody Joerachi (Joekitty) Blazer + Swordsalmon Misso Sothe Sage The deadline is 10/05/2011, so make sure you have everything in check before then. Have people playtest your chapter to make sure it is funny, challenging, trollerific, and as bug-free as you can make it. Happy hacking.

I feel kinda bad asking people for stuff, but I lack the talent and patience to make adequate portraits... Anyways, here's the requests. [spoiler=Poalski] Appearance Description: A physically fit man in his late twenties. Dark brown skin color. Short, unkept dark brown hair, wide nose. Mustache that "fuses" with his beard. Side burns as well. Purple armor (Feel free to take liberties on the design since I wasn't able to think of something interesting). As for facial expression, give him something that makes you go "Hey, I'm gonna kick some ass today, and I'm gonna ****ing love it". [spoiler=Shigeid] Appearance Description: Dark green eyes, Green T-shirt with many tears (The entire left sleeve is missing), long straight black hair, strong, in his early twenties. Facial expression: Eyebrows lowered, alert.

I love Sophia. She's beautiful, cute, and has a very sweet personality, but she is not worth using. She's difficult as hell to train and, while her growths are good, it takes a long while before they make her good enough to benefit your team. Use her only if you are emotionally attached to her.

My god. These topics derail very quickly I've noticed... In my opinion, I find Sophia most attractive. My long hair fetish may or may not be a contributing factor to this I find a lot of the characters pretty though. Just Sophia stands out for me.

Sophia will always have a place in my heart, no matter how bad she is in the game.

I do believe this hack would fit under the joke hack category under my document. *downloads*

I don't know where to put this thread, so I'll just put it here. Video: Download: http://markyjoe1990.herobo.com/fmscreens/Female%20Shaman%20(By%20MarkyJoe1990).zip

Yo SuperLuigi. I know Sophia isn't going to show up for a while in this project, however, I'd just like to let you know that I have created a female shaman animation that you can use for your hack. Video: Download: http://markyjoe1990.herobo.com/fmscreens/Female%20Shaman%20(By%20MarkyJoe1990).zip I hope this helps you with your project.

Anyone's help will do. If you still want to help, please go right ahead.

Hello everyone, thi is MarkyJoe1990. I'm just gonna get straight to the point. I'm not a good artist. I love to draw, but I do not have talent in drawing. With spriting, I'm even worse. It takes me hours upon hours to make anything I consider decent enough to put in my Fire Emblem ROM Hack, and even then, I've not made anything on par with any of the decent spriters here. I'm going to need a few portraits for my hack. I don't know how many, but off the top of my head, I need two. I know I will need one more later on, but outside of that range, I don't know if or when I'll be asking for more portraits. Here are the two I know I will need. Included are concept art and personalities. [spoiler=Lussuria & Flatus]Lussaria http://markyjoe1990....Hero%20Male.png These are two characters I want to have in Fire Mumblem. I won't explain their relation to the plot, but I will say that they are original characters, and that there will be a third portrait request once I get around to figuring out how the third person will look. Details on the request: The female on the left is named Lussuria, which is Italian for lust. She is a shaman. Lussuria has a seductive and flirtatious personality. I'd like her facial exp​ression to reflect that (As you can see by the portrait, I didn't do this myself because at the time I hadn't established a personality for her at the time). The male on the right is named Flatus, which is latin for Arrogance. He is going to be a mercenary/hero and the picture reflects such. As his name suggests, Flatus is arrogant, and should have a facial exp​ression that reflects that. It is important to convey a character's personality through their portrait in Fire Emblem. Almost ALL games follow this. Neowolf1991 is the one who made the following portraits for both characters, however, I'd like to see what other people can come up with. http://markyjoe1990....com/MarySue.bmp http://markyjoe1990....PuffheadMug.bmp If anyone can provide assistance and make good portraits of these characters, it'd be greatly appreciated. You will also be credited.

Yeah, I mainly wanted to get the website up and running. I'll be sure to update the website every now and then. Expect BuringPenitentEngine's videos to be on there next. I'm conflicted about doing Seph1212 though since we aren't particularly close and I don't really watch his videos, nor do I feel like searching through his many videos to find the FE hack reviews... I might do it, but I;m just conflicted at the moment. Also, ChimpMaster657 will be added to the reviewers list soon.
