[How would I get an NA version of FE7 to Display The Rekka no Ken Text Box?]

So I wanted to add the "Rekka no Ken" subtitle box from the JP version, replaced with my own text of course, however it does not seem to appear. I followed this guide: http://feuniverse.us/t/fe7-title-screen-subtitle-hack/1684 and it did work as the sword disappeared from myself editing it out, however the text box is still missing. Is there any hex code to make it appear? Thanks for the help guys!

Just wondering if anyone had created animated versions of the Beta portraits for Kyle and Forde. 

Also, is there another site that is the preferred site for animations, portraits, sprites, and all that more graphic oriented stuff?

Well, I don't know what you mean by "beta kyle and forde" portraits but I do know the place to find all of your graphic oriented stuff. Check out the spriters resource, they have just about every sprite from FE6, 7 and 8.

[[SOLVED] Do I Need RPG Maker XP to use FEXP]

1 hour ago, Primefusion said:

I'm pretty sure RMXP locks you out of the editor when the trial runs out. If so you can't use FEXP.
That said, there's key generators out there. Something to look into.

Alright, thanks prime. I might look into the key generator if I decide to stick with FEXP.

[[SOLVED] Do I Need RPG Maker XP to use FEXP]

So recently I decided to move my fan game over from a hack into an FEXP project because FEditor constantly gave me issues. I went to look at the tutorial and it says I need RPG Maker XP to use it. I've downloaded the free trial, but once that runs out will I still be able to use FEXP?

[Does anyone know what happened to Eventiel?]

So when I started hacking, I did what a lot of people did and used Eventiel created by CedarNyx. It's a great program, but I went to use it today when I noticed the entire site was screwed up beyond all repair. Specifically the FE7 one, the FE8 one works fine. I've used it for a while and I've had no problems but I think it might have gotten removed because, IIRC, TEB forums have been abandoned for a while. Anyone else know what's going on?

[How would I make a non-stave weapon into a 1-2 range stave?]

staff ranges are weird and hardcoded (the actual range byte is irrelevant iirc); you'd have to do some magic to make it work nicely

@Tequila

Is it possible you could give me a basic rundown of how to perform this magic? If you can't, that's fine. They also don't want to heal either so that's another thing.

[How would I make a non-stave weapon into a 1-2 range stave?]

So I wanted to add bloom festals to my hack and I thought I had set it up correctly. I made sure I set min-max range to 0x12, I set the weapon type and weapon ability 1 to "Staff", I set the staff/ use effect to heal and copied the weapon stats from the heal staff. Is there something i'm missing? If you're wondering what i'm replacing to add the festal, i'm replacing the emblem sword.

@Tactician Duel

You might want to also get the "movement sounds" nightmare module: http://feuniverse.us/t/walking-sounds/782/6 (this will allow you to adjust the sounds of movement for each class, duh)

You have to use your own classlist.txt for it, however. 

Tip: You can open your nightmare module file (.nmm) in a notepad editor, I suggest using Notepad++, and see what the actual file name is that needs opening. DO NOT ADJUST ANY OF THE .NMM FILE. Unless you are expanding the .nmm module, do not edit it. And you need to do something special to expand it so don't just be changing numbers and expecting your ROM to be a-okay. There's a tutorial on that too if you wanna add more items, classes, etc. right here:

Except the part where it says to multiply the amount of entries by the original size of entries, don't do that. Multiply it by the new size of entries (the amount of entries you want). 

Anyways, I'm just not sure how familiar you are with nightmare and how much you can actually manipulate which is why I'm saying all of this stuff, but I wanted to show you that just in case the angel mage sounds like it's walking like LynLord would normally walk and just in case you ever wanted to add more classes as opposed to replacing the existing ones, there's that as well.

Wow, thanks Avril! I'll be sure to look into these when i get the chance, especially the repointing part. I'm comfortable with NM enough so that I know what I'm doing, but i wouldn't call myself a pro.

[[SOLVED]How do I make the game check if certain characters are alive?]

ENUN is "wait for units to finish moving"; you put it exactly where it sounds like it would go.

Ah, so that's where it goes. Thanks for clearing that up.

[[SOLVED]How do I make the game check if certain characters are alive?]

On 2/5/2017 at 0:34 PM, Primefusion said:

I'm trying to understand your intent. Are you trying to make so that if ID 0x62 wasn't triggered, you go to chapter 0x03, and if it was you go to chapter 0x04?
If so, you should be using an if/else structure:

Ending_event:
IFEF 0x01 0xYY
MNCH 0x03
ELSE 0x02
ENIF 0x01
MNCH 0x04
ENIF 0x02
// I don't know why you had an ENUN in here. It doesn't do anything in this context
ENDA
	

Also, I wouldn't use an ID like 0x62 if I were you. IDs greater than 0x40 can get very finicky and may be reset if you suspend and resume the game.

 

Thanks prime, everything works fine now! I'm sorry I wasn't more specific. The reason for that ENUN code was just my paranoia. Sometimes I don't put in ENUN codes and it breaks the game, so I just put it in for good measure.

[[SOLVED]How do I make the game check if certain characters are alive?]

9 hours ago, Primefusion said:

Death quotes you set up using the Nightmare modules.

IFET and IFEF are conditionals. Specifically IF Event True and IF Event False.

Example:

Ending_event:
IFEF 0x01 0xYY // Replace YY with the death quote ID you chose for an NPC (start at 0x06 just like other event IDs)
// If you have more than 1 NPC you're checking for, use another IFEF and check the next ID
ITGM  0xZZ // Give reward if the ID was not triggered 
ENIF 0x01

// Any other stuff that needs to happen

MoveToChapter(0x??)
ENDA
	

 

If you're having trouble with the concepts of conditionals, check Arch's tutorials.

 

So something like this?:

Ending_event:
Game_Win:
IFEF 0x01 0x62
MNCH 0x03
ENIF 0x01
IFET 0x01 0x62
MNCH 0x04
ENIF
ENUN
ENDA

(There will be actual events in there later, but this is just a test setup.)

[[SOLVED]How do I make the game check if certain characters are alive?]

Just now, Primefusion said:

Give the NPCs death quote IDs, then check if the IDs were triggered using IFET/IFEF.

I-I'm not sure how to use those codes... Could you elaborate a bit? Sorry.

[[SOLVED]How do I make the game check if certain characters are alive?]

So, I need some help again. I need the game to check if certain NPCs are alive by chapters end and the reward for saving these NPCs is opening a gaiden chapter. However, as you may have guessed I have no idea how to set this up. Could someone show me the code I need, or point me in a direction where I could find it? Last question tonight I promise.

[[SOLVED] How Would You Make A Non-Flier Class A Flier?]

2 minutes ago, Seracz said:

Ok! So everything you want then can be done in nightmare easily.

Change all of the movement and terrain pointers to exactly the same ones that pegasus knights or wyverns have and thats all you have to do for the movement.

And the icons are under the Class Ability 2 list. Also just to note if your class is promoted you will have to add 01 on to that, so Pegasus icon for example is 0x10, so if your class is promoted, pick 0x11 (even though nothing is listed there) and it will give your class 0x10 + 0x01, (Pegasus icon + promoted status).

Thank you so much! I'm sorry about not reading the first post more carefully. Everything's working great now!

The movement you can as well. Just give it the same movement pointer that all the fliers have. You will notice pegasus knights/falcoknights/wyverns all have the same pointer. Use that and it lets them move over terrain. (Again pretty sure but it was a long time ago that I messed with this stuff.)

OH GOD I DIDN'T SEE THAT BEFORE!! I'm so sorry!

[[SOLVED] How Would You Make A Non-Flier Class A Flier?]

14 minutes ago, Seracz said:

I've never done this but I am pretty sure you can just give the class all of the features individually that a flier has. I am guessing you want it to have flier movement, give it the pegasus or wyvern icon, and be weak to bows and such. I don't think there is anything else that makes fliers different?

The icon you can do in Nightmare in the class editor - you have probably already seen that.

The movement you can as well. Just give it the same movement pointer that all the fliers have. You will notice pegasus knights/falcoknights/wyverns all have the same pointer. Use that and it lets them move over terrain. (Again pretty sure but it was a long time ago that I messed with this stuff.)

As for weaknesses, the way that I would do this (not sure if there is another way) is to create a new Effectiveness somewhere in free space in your ROM. I think weapons are marked as being 'effective' against specific class IDs, and not a general 'flier' status. You might have to do some digging on exactly how to do this but you can specify a spot in your ROM where you list the classes you want an item to be effective against. Make one with Lyn Lord class included (which from memory I believe is class 0x02?) and point all of the weapons that you want to be effective against your Angel Mage class to this new effectiveness.

Sorry that I can't explain it any better. But here I found a link to an old post that might help:

https://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?/topic/27014-weapon-effectiveness-question/

 

I probably should have phrased myself better. I just wanted them to be able to fly over terrain (Mountains, Water, Etc.) like fliers. I didn't really want them to have the weaknesses of fliers. Sorry about that!

[[SOLVED] How Would You Make A Non-Flier Class A Flier?]

So, I'm replacing the Lyn Lord class with a new class called the angel mage. As you know, lyn lord is an on foot class. This class is going to be a flier, but there is no option in nightmare for it. I figured it has something to do with the movement pointers but I don't want to ruin anything in the ROM. Is it possible to do something like this? Thanks in advance!

You forgot a blank UNIT code at the end of your Bad Unit list. The game was probably interpreting your turn Event as a Unit code (hence the level 0 Iron Sword Hector).

Can't believe i missed something so simple! Thank's for you help, i really appreciate it! :D

[Event Assembler Questions Thread]

So I was redesigning map 1 for my hack, Fire Emblem: Book of Necros (Previously known as FE: Eternal night) and the assembly decided to bug out. What happens is that a level 0 hector with an iron sword just randomly decides to show up. I had repointed some palettes on accident so i thought that may have ruined something. i decided "oh, i'll just use a clean ROM. Not optimal but the best solution i could find.". I load up the new ROM and insert the maps, but to my surprise the bug is still there in a clean ROM. It doesn't appear if you load lyns mode so i assume it has something to do with the eventing. I've looked through the events upward of 10 times and I can't pick out the error. Could someone see something i can't?

[How would one go about making a palette for a custom sprite?]

I'm using the female fencer custom and i can't figure out how to recolor it due to it being a custom. i put one of the individual frames into FErecolor and it worked fine until i went to insert it. it then proceeded to give me an error message. does anyone know if the fencer matches up with the color alignment of another class?

What is that supposed to be?

it's the offset listed in primefusions response to a question at the top of the page. It's the one that you have to change to set the game to eliwoods story from the start but in the prologue.
