Probably played Final Fantasy IV and uses Terra as an avatar and sig.

Oh.... palettes that is what you meant so gba and snes use same color getup eh? I see so limits are the same eh? umm.. well... guess I better start researching the limits or something then eh... I honestly don`t know where to start with this status menu editing thing :( uhh on a side note during my magic palette changing I have hit another wall ehheh Fala Flame i was changing the spell to blue to get that whole blue flames theme going but failed about 90% through Fala Flame seems like another one of those hard to edit spells. As the background effect`s are not easy to track that spinning thing in the background won`t change color... I call it a triangle of fire spinning but a may be something else :P and the sun flame?? I don`t know what to call that piece of the spell either is a ring of fire that surrounds the enemy during the spell that is hard to change too. But the rest such as the flame lines? in the background changed fine. Although maybe a half blue half red thing for that spell could potentially look good kinda like how some real life fire is red on outside blue in middle. But I was saving that for Balganone which will be easy to do seeing as to how I got the other spells 100%

Mmm? whats this you say? you mean the snes menus follow same thing as gba? I see well that should be easy/hard for me to do as I am not that experienced with gba hacking despite messing around with the games from time to time. But a guide should be easy to find since gba hackers far outnumbers us :'(

Well eh I have good news to bring you Lamia I sorta got the hang of how magic colors work! There are still some mistakes inside but I managed to edit Elwind, Tornado and the recover staff to perfection. Well and the reserve staff too when used it shines 2 colors :P originally it was a mistake as I still did not understand what to do however the mistake made something that looks good so I am keeping the change heh. Now another thing what about Menus Lamia? I didn`t see anything about those in your notes. The status menus how did you change the colors of it in your hack? like the image above me with the dark blue status menu same process you went through? as magic? or something totally different? Not that such a small change like that matters much but eh is a big change from the same old boring brown/grayish color the default color menu uses.

Oh I see so that is why... hmm and just changing the gender pointer alone on a single unit causes glitches? I figured as much even without messing with it. I checked your notes but there was nothing about it in it :( or a location in the hex editor for the units so i don`t know Lamia....

Very cool! modules for the NES games is rare glad to see more I am gonna have to check these out sometime.

Yeah ehheh sorry about that Lamia I am not that good with screenshots haha so that one wasn`t the best. Anyway it worked out fine and i got that red Holsety I had dreamed of!! ah and in regards to those hard to change spells I will leave them alone as Holsety alone was a headache to change. Si basically the same logic that was applied to Holsety goes to all other spells. And I see what you did here kinda you split the colors up in the string. What i was doing at every 16 number was I was putting in the full string of numbers before the 16 rather than what you did like for example these are just random made up numbers say the spell color in question used 3 sets of numbers so at the very first 16 I would go 43 45 50 16 and do the same thing at every 16 what you did was split them up into pieces and that colored Holsety the color I wanted heh I will test this out on changing fala flames color and see what happens. Also in regard to healing staves er I am messing with it and I almost got it right almost but a missed the ball at some point close to success I got the animation I wanted yes.. but eh there is a layer missing I noticed the outer layer to the er... main part of the healing spell is missing I was trying to change the animation to blue 24 so i went and put 24 in front of every 56 I saw. I tried replacing 56 with 54 but it just makes pauses in between the spell so it seems I don`t need to do anything for timing here?? hmm in edition to reading your tutorial some more I better take I look at the way your hack is set up for reference since you have changed the colors of some things a good one would be your Imbue spell however I can`t tell what Imbue originally was before it became how it is it was either a recover staff (as it heals alot so far full health) or a Relive so I am not sure which of the two to look for. But gosh does it look good with that fiery red.

Location name in profile is also name of an Inuyasha character Naraku :P

Is someone who got gud at Touhou.

I gotta give it to FE5 for this one if my memory is correct as it is quite poor in regards to FE5 since I have only played it 1 time the final chapter music used there is Leaf`s theme and if I am not mistaken is not only the final chpters theme but is also used throughout some of the late game chapters it is such an inspiring piece I can`t explain the feeling it gives it is just amazing.

Sitting around bored and being mad at my laptop as none of the Touhou games after Mof don`t run due to missing dll files. Will solve problem tomorrow when I have calmed down. I am also thinking about doughnuts right now I dunno why I think i want some but can`t get any right now.

Yep. It is fun when it happens too does a lot of damage. The Killer Lance you are using will have it happening quite often.

Oh you should try out more of the dual/triple techs when you play again they are really cool and do a lot of damage most times and even if you skip out of triple techs since they are harder to set up the dual ones will do fine. I myself don`t bother with triple techs much only used them twice ever while playing and both not during the main course of the game. Ohh that is a decent set up I have used this team for a brief amaount of time during the Magus castle segment Marle and Frog work very well together and Chrono does too with that X attack. Yeah once you get that MP saving item you will be ripping through just about everything with Luminare works great with the strong one you get that makes it use only 1 MP very broken :p I have gotta try this combo out Chrono, Frog and Magus sounds good I am gonna need to test that team out. As for Chrono, Lucca and Marle I have only used that team during the beginning parts of the game before you get magic. I can imagine that once you start getting magic that team kicks butt big time especially when Lucca learns that Flare move.

Oh yeah Lamia one last thing this is a fairly simple problem I have examined the Fire Emblem 4 Tordo hack and I noticed you can pair up units differnt in the 2nd generation like for example I was able to pair up Patty and Karin together. How do you make it so pairings can be done that way? as when I check inside nightmare it does not have much of the female 2nd generation units it only contains the male ones none of the female units are in there only about 4 of them how can you edit the rest? and make it like the example above I mentioned? does it need to be done in hex editor? if so what is the location and numbers that need changing? so I can get right to it.

Oh I see wait.. Lamia so I am supposed to put the numbers in before each 16? I see so er another question does that mean aswell as thor hammer being hard to edit the other Holy tomes are? as I had problems editing Holsety and Fala flame. Are the magic tomes multi layer? As I noticed if i change the bytes before the very first 16 in the entry only a single part changes. I want the main part of the spell to change but the more 16`s I got down the worse the problems get that is when crashing and such happens or glitches :( Maybe using Holy tomes for color change is not a good idea?? also healing staves seem to be difficult they don`t seem to use 16 for color I will check again. Here is a look at what I do this is the Holsety tome and what i do is go before each 16 and add the right numbers but not much happens I don`t get it. Am I supposed to edit other numbers in the string of any tome if I ever want to change only the pallette? as each time I do only the number before 16 only i get negative affects Here is a picture example of what I did I sent an image of it. basically I replaced 43 16 and changed it to a1 16 to try and make it fire red. When that did not work I went and did balgonone red since it works great for fire colors but that just made the whole thing glitchy it looked like FE5 thor hammer glitched. So it is clear I am doing something wrong when I edit at the 16`s for each spell as the same thing happens. Maybe seeing this image of what exactly i do can help a bit.

Do it Holyn/Briggid do it now not later Lol Lol just joking. But in all seriouness Holyn/Briggid is a great pairing that won`t upset you Patty will survive better and be able to use the hero sword since Celice should not need it you do get the 50 kill silver sword right? critical hit silver sword is win but it requires someone in the 1st gen to kill a lot of stuff. I have seen many people pair Noish with Ayra I personally prefer Ayra and Lex but I supposed Noish works good too from what I have seen it gives the sword fighters critical and since the Odo blood gives boost to skill growth they will have high skill stat which= more criticals. Also like Refa said Faval will have high HP... But eh may I add in Faval will max his HP 100% of the time with that pair up he won`t just have high HP it will max every playthrough trust me I have played FE4 over 10 times and used that pairing and let`s be honest not many units will ever max HP and having someone running around with 80 HP is awesome Faval will hit hard and be hard to kill.

Wow what a coincidence! you just read my mind or something I was wondering the exact same thing Celice/Seliph`s leadership stars I want to know how to change them too but I don`t know how to do it looks like the both of us are looking for something. As for whatever reason his stars are stuck at 2 i wanna give him 5 like I did for Sigurd. As the way my hack is created the stars are gonna pay off a lot.

Hey Lamia I got the hex editor and practiced a bit with it (changed some stuff I wanted to so those problems are gone) But eh I am having issues changing magic spell colors how and where is each entry? I downloaded your notes thingy but I still can`t pinpoint exactly where each spell is located. I was trying to change Thor hammers pallette to holsety green but nothing is happening I think I am in the wrong string of numbers. Know where some of these spells color locations are exactly? I did what was told in the guide but I am probabaly not doing it correctly it says 16 affects pallette so what I do is locate the spell and edit all numbers before 16 but either nothing happens or the game crashes in battle :( I am clearly doing it wrong I thought 16 was the pallette number? gah I have 0 clue of what I am doing as usual :( Hex editing is sorta fun heh I wanna mess with more stuff and I think magic colors would be a very nice touch.

Ah I remember Slurp Kiss that is a strong all healing tech it is better than aura whirl. I should use this team more often for that tech. Ooh awesome my 1# setup! heh eh? Final Kick? hmm... ah that move now I remember yeah that move kicks butt big time and with Marle`s haste or some haste helms you can abuse it in rapid succession gold earing? the reduce MP to 1 item helps too. I rarely used Final Kick so I didn`t remember it well but now i do love that move.

Wow it has been awhile since I started a topic so umm yeah title says all what are your favorite chrono Trigger setups? what parties work best for your personal tastes? Mine are. 1.Chrono, Ayla, Marle: Perfect team for me Chrono and especially Ayla for the heavy attacks and Marle for additional damage with Ice 2 and powerful dual techs with Chrono And eespecially Ayla seriously those Ice dual techs with Ayla are devastating I use this steam up till Chrono dies. 2.Ayla, Magus, Marle: Ayla for her very powerful physical attacks, Magus for his magic and later the powerful Dark Matter and Marle for healing+powerful dual techs with Ayla. I use this team as my end game team and usually fight Lavos with this set up works out perfectly.

Eating a bag of chips and drinking soda. Gonna tag some videos soon I have so much to tag.

Ah I see well I pretty much finished the color pallets I guess I will have to just deal with the Aless and Noish thing. Maybe afterward I will see what weapons I can remove from the Baron`s and such as they don`t use all the weapons in my hack even though they can use all but they are never seen with them all so the ranks are mostly for show Lol well I guess they can be useful for player Barons though but enemies nope. Now... I begin the next part... children inheritance of skills. However I do not know where the heck you get a hex editor from or what is the correct hex editor to look for I`ve never used one before but I am gonna need it to fix that other problem know what I should search up to find it? this is gonna be crazy heh I have never used one before so I will likely be totally lost but I just need to go in and do 1 thing and that is children units.

Lamia!!!!! thank you so much!! OMG after about an hour I finally understood what you meant after reading both your posts over and over again the same class same group thing I thought you meant simply put a set in duos in the entries but what I did to fix my swordmaster problem was I used all those female emperor slots and changed them to the sword masters it worked!! is that what you meant by groups? Sadly all of them swordmasters used up all the slots :( so i don`t have that much free space left I wish there were empty slots for brand new sets. But yeah I understand now sorta I think I might get stuck again :o as there is the master knight issue I`ve not enough free slots to fit custom colors for Aless since master knights use up so many (although all Aless needs is a custom for his sword sprites as that is what he is intended to mostly use) Maybe I should leave master knight alone? but Aless needs it badly Lol his usual color is black but since his natrual promotion is not master knight his sprite turns white which is a problem so what would happen if I change only his sword sprites and... dang... won`t work I`ve 1 more sword using master knight who needs color Noish... Red... hmm looks like I can`t be as flexible as I would wish with this. Also on a side note er would you happen to know what numbers in your editor is white Lamia? like all white? I need that color for my queens. The closest to a clean not glitchy looking white I have found is number 30 in the numbers but that puts a bit of black in the sprite too but it colors the capes white is that all that is there? other than that other one that looks sorta glitchy?

Oh I see I get what you are saying but eh I am still having issues as the thing is picky. I don`t seem to have this problem with mage type classes though but I have been struggling for hours now with the swordmaster class :'( I match up the classes as you say to change the sprite colors like for example Swordmaster Male/Swordmaster female that is one page I set one as shanan the other as either Daisy or one of the other playable female swordmasters And either again the changes don`t seem to register or I get the correct results Shanan and the other unit that is not Daisy have their correct setting but then all other units of the same class get screwed up even though I have them set up correctly I think. I need it so everyone is set up correctly but dang this thing refuses to cooperate it`s like each time I start doing something right 1 tiny thing goes wrong and everything falls apart :( so the mage type classes don`t have a problem I managed to edit the colors of the dark prince perfectly by putting Azel and Corpul on the same page and giving them each their unique colors. As for the enemies the game auto colored them purple so that is fine. It is the physical classes that have the issue as a color for one affects the other and vice versa then the animations get glitched (you can`t see the weapon sprite in their hand anymore) so yeah.. Maybe a hex editor indeed will assist with this. Also your welcome! I completed the prologue chapter I was shocked when it seemed smaller than in the old version of your hack we only ended up needing to clear out that little part of the map so everyone was kinda piled together but all worked out.

Hey Lamia I have another question the battle sprite editor I have bumped into a new problem with it. You said I need to make room by removing pallette entries well I sorta did and nothing happened :( Like for example I wanted to change Ira`s sprite color but There is only 1 swordfighter female entry in their So since I went and changed the numbers for a female Forrest Knight to that of a swordfighter and changed the entry to Ira the Char box and nothing happened why? as I want to change sprite colors for 2 swordfighters but can`t I want to do Ira and Lakche but there is not by default 2 female swordfighter entries how do I fix that problem? I know it is probably the simplest little thing to do to fix it and i haven`t found it yet. On another note magic using classes are weird. I chnaged the color of the queen sprite for Edean under the Queen:magic category but when she uses a healing staff her sprite goes back to generic colors Lol whats up with that? I was trying to leave an open space for the generic colors like you told me to but eh I screwed it up. Also I guess with a certain pallette pointed to a certain unit but not the other causes glitchs and crashes as I have had some odd results such as swordmaster:Daisy:pink pallette but as soon as another swordmaster fights that is female their sprite is pink too however animation is glitched. I mean I could just go and leave it like that but then it will look odd and lazy heh dang I am gonna run into problems with the Dark Prince then as that only has 1 default entry I have 2 dark princes that need custom colors. Also one last thing your updated hack is amazing! I am still working through prologue Lapis died :( I was careless on the enemies who were all packed next to the castle and the mages got her haha so I am gonna reset I was confident the leadership stars would save them :P
