I have nothing meaningful to contribute to this thread, but I'd just thought I'd drop in to say this LP is awesome. Serious lulz were had in reading some of these chapters.

Oddly enough, that worked. I can't say I fully understand why not having all of those pointers makes the prep screen fail to work, but whatever works. Thanks a ton for the help! I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone :) And yeah, if you've been on GameFAQS then I've probably bumped into you before. Despite my Super Mario RPG based username, I tend to hang around the FE boards a lot. lol, you know what I mean. I've used him every time I can. I've played every FE game except FE 3 I think. However, I live in the US and don't speak Japanese, and unfortunately I have yet to find a complete English translation for FE 1, 4, and 5. Even the ones here aren't complete.

Thanks for the advice. Apparently I've been using quite an outdated version of EA. I took your advice: I got the most updated version of EA I could find (9.3 or something I think?) I tried assembling the event again, it successfully assembled, and yet I'm still getting the same error. The game skips the opening event as if it doesn't exist. Any other ideas?

Hey, everyone. I was told that this would be a good thread to post my question in, so here goes. I'm trying to make a FE7 hack, and everything seems to be going fine so far, but I can't for the life of me get the preparations screen to work. In my chapter events, I'll have the Opening_event end with the "ENDB" command which is supposed to take the player to the prep screen when the event is over. In the Nightmare Chapter Data Editor Module in FEditor Adv, I always have the preparations screen enabled in the correct chapter. Yet it still doesn't work. If I end the opening event with the "ENDB" command, when I actually try to play test it, it will skip the opening event entirely and go straight to the ending event. If you need me to be more specific about anything, ask me an I'll try to provide more detail. Any ideas? Here's the script. This isn't the only chapter I can't get the prep screen to work on, so there must be some error I'm consistently making or something.

I appreciate you trying to help. I'll ask there and see if anyone can help me there. The prep screen is definitely set to be enabled in the proper chapters as well as victory conditions. But I have yet to get the ENDB command to work at all, so I think I'll try your GotoPrepScreen suggestion.

Well, I'm not sure if the event assembling itself is the problem or something else, so I thought it might be better to ask here. Here's the script. This isn't the only chapter I can't get the prep screen to work on, so there must be some error I'm consistently making or something.

That topic description seems pretty silly to put now; if I knew what was wrong, I wouldn't be posting this. Anyway, I'm trying to make a FE7 hack, and everything seems to be going fine so far, but I can't for the life of me get the preparations screen to work. In my chapter events, I'll have the Opening_event end with the "ENDB" command which is supposed to take the player to the prep screen when the event is over. In the Nightmare Chapter Data Editor Module in FEditor Adv, I always have the preparations screen enabled in the correct chapter. Yet it still doesn't work. If I end the opening event with the "ENDB" command, when I actually try to play test it, it will skip the opening event entirely and go straight to the ending event. If you need me to be more specific about anything, ask me an I'll try to provide more detail. Any ideas?

Hmm... I'm gonna go with either Neph or Ilyana. Outside of drafts, I don't think I've ever beaten the game without them. Although, I do like Pelleas as well. I don't think I've beaten FE10 without him. I'm a sucker for the dark magic users.

Seems like a fitting thread title. Hey, everyone. I've floated around here for awhile, but never registered. But now, I figured, why not? I first came here because I was linked to some hack info or something like that. Even now, I'm here mostly for the FE hacking, but that's not to say that I won't participate in the other forums as well. Anyway, good to be here. How are you? You got any questions or anything you want to know about me, go for it. As a side note, why is everything white? It's hard to tell where I'm supposed to start typing stuff.
