Well, if this won't revive my topic, then nothing will!

It's Xigbar!!! The most awesome guy in Organisation 13. disagree and you get shot...

[My stuff]

I'm back! Maybe. Possibly. Way out of practise though. Oh well, here's a splice I made up last night. I call him Robert.

I'll do some more stuff later.

[My sprites...]

You're going? Shame, I'll miss you, bro :(

I'd just like to thank you for all the sprites you've made for me. Though I never actually finished any hacks myself either, I wouldn't have even started if it weren't for you sprites. In particular, thanks for the FFX sprites, I'll make sure I put them to good use. Hopefully you'll come back later and get the patch once it's done! That won't be for a while though ;)

Your last sprite is brilliant! Is it an FC?

Well, I wish you luck in your pianoing. Thank again for the sprites, and the support!

See ya man!

[Generic Sprite Topic]

I really like your maps. Any tips on how to make good maps? All mine end up awful.

[Generic Sprite Topic]

Wait, I don't remeber making any LOZ mugs, do you mean in my hack? Because those I got permission to use.

And if I made link's sword look like the master sword, i'd have too many colors. Did you see my album on FE universe, because that has most of my LOZ sprites.

The LOZ sprites he's talkin about are at the top of this page...

Also, it would be pretty easy to make the sword look like the Master Sword without going over the color limit on the mounted sprite

[Random Boss Request]

Swordmaster-hero works, i just didn't want to do another Lloyd-Linus thing. How about Haydn(Swordmaster) and Raphiel(Hero)?(just off the top of my head)

Bryan: Sure, if you can do any other nice recolors or splices they'd be greatly appriated.

Haydn and Raphiel sounds fine

[Random Boss Request]

Jecht, I can use those two for Paul and Jasmine, not sure about Karel/prince of persia though... but thanks for the contibution.

The two have names? or can I just make some up? And I won't make them gay bandits either. I'm thinking warrior and hero.

Well, they were both 'me', so they were both named Haydn. One is meant to be a swordmaster, the other a Hero, but do what you like. Here's an insertable version of the swordmaster one.

I removed the scars because even if they were twins, it would still be weird if they had the exact same scar...

[Random Boss Request]

I'll contribute some stuff. It's not great, but, w/e.

These were going to be 'me' in a hack I was making. I've put it on hold, cos I'm doin somethin else. Anyway, do what you want with em. I wouldn't use both unless they're brothers or somethin, but, it's really your choice. You can have this, too.

[Official Legend Of Zelda Thread]

The only thing I had trouble with was Great Bay Temple...

It's also got loads of side quests. The most, I think. Or maybe TP has more? Anyway, MM's side quests were fun :D

[Official Legend Of Zelda Thread]

The triforce quest was really bad since you had to throw away 3584 rupees to Tingle for him to 'translate' the map. Of course, if you did the full 50 levels of the gauntlet, you'd get tons of rupees anyway, but still...

I'm guessing no one much cared for MM besides me?

MM was great, just not quite as good as Ocarina of Time.

The N64 Zeldas were just fuckin awesome...

[My stuff]

Jecht got a fixing

Shaded his sword, and gave him a tan.

[Official Legend Of Zelda Thread]

I voted Ocarina of Time. It was the first game I ever finished, and it's still one of my favourites. I might go and play it now, actually...

[so sherlock holmes kicked so much ass im going to see it again tomorrow]

I want to see it! It is rated R right?

In Australia it was only rated M...

[My stuff]

There's a little bit where it starts to go behind him. I found if I put much more on, it looks really weird. Meh, I'll try anyway.

[My stuff]

If I don't get any comments soon, I might cry...

My standing sprite for Jecht. I'm planning on sheeting him soon.

[Favorite character]

I always thought Ganandolf was way too slow in SSBB. In melee he was ok...but no where near my favorite.

Plus He's an old man in Brawl, which made me laugh at his character design.

Agreed. Ganondorf was awesome in Melee, but hate him in Brawl. Sure, he's strong, but so is Ike, and Bowser. And they aren't nearly as slow.

[Inserting a custom animation into Fire Emblem 7 with FEditor Adv]

Here's my little explanation I gave another member of this forum

First, you need to make your frames. They MUST be 248x160 pixels and have 16 colors or less, including the background. A good tool to check the ammount of colors is Usenti. Here are two frames from my Zack animation. The first is a rough position of where your standing frame should be (though depending on the size and stance of the frame, you might need to move it forward or backward a few squares. For example, my Zack standing frame is holding his sword out in front of him, so I will have to move him back. Most standing frames should have their shadow's in line with Zack's, though.) and the second image is about where the enemy is standing. So that's where you should position your sprite when it is actually hitting the enemy.

Standing

Hitting

I suppose I should explain the standing position a bit better. Just line up your standing sprite's shadow with Zack's (Feel free to use both images for reference) If your image is holding out a sword or something, like Zack is, then you should probably move it back 8 pixels.

Ok, so let's assume you've finished your frames, now onto scripting.

The script for your animation is divided into 12 parts:

Part 1: Normal attack

Layered in front of the enemy

Part 2: Called with normal attack - mimicks sound effects and uses blank frames to keep the timing

Layered behind the enemy

Part 3: Critical attack

Layered in front of the enemy

Part 4: See mode 2; this is for critical attacks, however

Layered behind the enemy

Part 5: Magic attack

Part 6: Critical magic attack

Part 7: Close range dodge

Part 8: Ranged dodge

Part 9: Standing "animation"

Can have more than one frame - they actually play, too!

Must have at LEAST one frame, or the game will crash, though

These get to play about the first 16 frames of the animation before they are interrupted

Part 10: Standing "animation" 2

Should be same as previous (could probably get more creative though)

Part 11: Ranged standing "animation"

Can be the same as the previous two standing animations

Part 12: Dodged attack

You don't actually need to do anything for parts 2 and 4, 11 and 10 are the same as 9 and 8 and 7 are the same. 12 is almost exactly the same as 1, except with two minor differences, which I will explain later.

first of all, you should start your script with "/// - Mode 1." so you can remember what mode you are doing. Lines beginning with /// are skipped, so you can leave comments.

Every attacking animation (parts 1, 3, 5, 6 and 12) Must start like this

C03

C07

Both are commands used by the game to make stuff happen. Like sounds, visual effetcs, etc. C03 and C07 are both pretty much the command for Start Attacking. They must be used together.

After C03 and C07, you tell the game to play your standing frame. You do this like so:

5  p- Standing.png

the '5' is the number of "counts" you want the frame to play for. They're not in seconds. In fact, I'm not sure how "counts" are timed, so the timing of your animation will probably be a little bit off once it's inserted... Mine was <.<

after the number, you need to put TWO spaces if it's a single digit count, or just one if it's double digit, then "p- (Whatever frame your inserting).png" (frames must be in .png format)

Keep inserting your frames, and just guess the timing, for your animation. for "blurry" frames, I recommend 3 or 4 counts, and 5 or 6 for any others. For frames where you want it to pause for a while, use more than 10 counts.

If you wan't to put in sound effects or visual effects for a frame, you need to put in the appropriate command BEFORE the frame where you want the effect. Here's a list of sound and visual effetcs, spoilered because of the ammount

0x19 Play bow pulling SFE

0x1B Play quick "heavy step" SFE

0x1C Play light horse stepping SFE; pitch decreases

0x1D Play light horse stepping SFE; pitch increases

0x1E Similar to 0x1D; a bit louder

0x1F Play hit SFE (sounds like Eliwood with sword's hit)

(Will be normal hit sound during normal attack and critical hit sound during critical

attack)

0x20 Play hit SFE (sounds like Knight Lord with Durandal's hit) (see previous note)

0x21 Play hit SFE (sounds like Knight Lord with sword's hit) (see previous note)

0x22 Play short sword swinging SFE

0x23 Play shorter sword swinging SFE

0x24 Play sword slashing air SFE

0x25 Play wing flap SFE

0x26 Sword toss; VERY hardcoded (uses 32x32 at linear sheet index 0x1C from current sheet)

0x27 Shield toss; while this command is used for shield tossing,

it is actually just a copy of command 0x26

0x28 Play electrical charging SFE (Used by Shamans)

0x29 Kills BGM

0x2A Kills BGM

0x2B Play armored unit "leaping" SFE

0x2C Show fire (that envelopes Sealed Sword; contains all Sealed Sword fire frames) animation

Slashing frames missing in FE 7/8!

0x2D ? (Assassin critical) (Lethality activator that is dependent on other commands?)

0x2E Show sage's normal magic rune drawing animation

0x2F Show sage's critical magic rune drawing animation

0x30 Show dirt kicking (as from dashing forward) animation

0x31 Show small dirt wave moving forward animation (starts about mid screen)

0x32 Show medium sized dirt wave moving backward animation (starts from feet of attacker)

0x33 Play battle cry SFE (REALLY stupid)

0x34 Play heavy stepping SFE

0x35 Play longer wing flapping SFE

0x36 Play sword unsheathing SFE

0x37 Play sword clicking SFE

0x38 Play heavy spear spinning SFE

0x39 Pauses the attacker, makes them flash white and makes the screen flash white

Essentially makes it look as though the attacker was hit, but without

blue sparks

0x3A Play dancer magic release SFE

0x3B Play bard song SFE

0x3C Play sword "whooshing" SFE (done by Nomads; sounds like wing flap)

0x3D Show Nergal's dark aura animation - FE 7 only!

0x3E Play burning SFE

0x3F Play alternate arrow firing SFE?

0x40 Kills BGM

0x41 Play short axe swinging SFE

0x42 Play long axe swinging SFE

0x43 Play weapon stance SFE (Clicking noise)

0x44 Play short "light emission" SFE (I seriously don't know a better way to describe this)

0x45 Play horse neighing SFE

0x46 Play dropped axe crashing onto ground SFE

0x47 Show cape flowing animation; VERY hardcoded

0x48 Kills BGM

0x49 Play sage's magic firing SFE

0x4A Play valkyrie's magic charging SFE (Pretty much the same as the shaman's)

0x4B Play monk's magic casting SFE

0x4C Play Athos' magic casting SFE

0x4D Play Athos' critical glint SFE

0x4E Show dirt wave (as from horse kicking forward from ground) animation

0x4F Play druid critical charging SFE

Replace the '0x' with a capital C.

Once you get to the frame where it hits the enemy, put the following BEFORE the frame where it hits the enemy:

C04
C1A
C1F

C04 prepares the game for HP depletion (even if there's none), C1A tells the game it's a normal hit, and C1F plays the hit sound.

After that, put your frames that have your animation returning to standing position, and end with the standing position.

then, put

 C01
C06
C0D

under the final standing frame insert. This is just telling the game the animation is over. put ~~~ directly under the C0D. the ~~~ tells FEditor that Mode 1 has ended.

Just so you get an idea of what it should look like, here's my example for Mode 1, spoilered for size.

/// - Mode 1 (Attack)

C03

C07

5 p- Standing.png

C22

4 p- Attack14.png

16 p- Standing.png

C01

C06

C0D

~~~

Skip Mode 2, and go straight to Mode 3, beginning with /// - Mode 3.

Once again, you need to use C03 and C07 to start it off, then it's the same process as Mode 1, only your inserting your critical hit animation frames instead of your normal attack ones. When you get to C04, C1A, C1F, put C08 instead of C1A. C08 tells the game it's a critical hit. Then, same as before, put the frames of your animation returning to standing position, put C01, C06, C0D at the end (all on seperate lines, of course) then ~~~ under C0D.

We don't need to do anything for part 4, so now onto part 5.

Part 5 is magic attacking (and healing). as per usual, you should start off with /// - Mode 5. (so you can keep track of what mode your doing) and then the C03, C07. You start off with your Standing frame, then put the rest of the frames for your magic animation. Just put them all in for now. Now, in every magic animation, there is a frame where the animation 'pauses' while the spell is being cast. (it is also possible to have loops, such as a flowing cape, but I won't go into that right now. If you want to use a loop, PM me, and I'll explain how you do it). I want you to find this frame.

Found it? good. Now put an empty line between it and the frame above it, and type C05 into that line. C05 summons the spell associated with the weapon being used. And on a blank line under it, type C01. At the very end, type C06 and C0D, into their own lines, then ~~~ to end the mode.

Part 6 now. Pretty much exactly the same as above, only there will be a few extra/different frames because it's a magic critical attack. I'm sure you can figure it out. If you can't, just PM. I'd be happy to help.

Part 7 now, dodging. This time, do not start with C03 and C07, start with C02, which is the start of dodge command. Put in some frames under the C02. (it's usually one, but, sometimes you can have more) BEFORE the frame where the animation 'pauses' during the dodge sequence, put C0E, and under it, C01. Now just put any other frames that have your animation returning to stand frame. if you don't have any, just put C0D, then ~~~ to end the animation. If you do, put C0D and ~~~ after the frames

Just copy and paste part 7 for part 8...

Now, parts 9, 10 and 11 are all the same, and this is the layout for them.

/// - Mode (9, 10 or 11)

3 p- (your standing frame here.png

C01

~~~

That should be easy enough. Don't start with C03 and C07, just put your standing frame, followed by C01 and ~~~. Yay.

Now for part 12. Copy and paste your part 1 script for part 12, now find where you typed C04 and C1A. either get rid of them or put /// and a space before them.

Ok, now I'm gonna show you my whole script, spoilered for size, of course. Feel free to save it and use it for referencing.

Once your done, save your script, and put it in the fame folder as the frames.

Now that you have your script ready, open up any FE rom FEditor Adv and go into Class Animation CREATOR. Click Load From Script. Select the script and press OK, or Load, or whatever it says, and cross your fingers. If an error comes up, check all your images and make sure they have only 16 colors or less, and that they all have the same ammount (If you're checking with Usenti, they don't need to be in the same order).

Also check to make sure they are 248x160 pixels in size. Once you've fixed any problems, try again. If it still doesn't work, send me a copy of your script and I'll check it out.

Now, let's assume it worked, hooray!. (You'll know because in the little white box it will say Mode: Complete). Click Save to file, and call it whatever you like (example: I called mine Zack.) Then save it. If you look where you saved it, you'll notice you'll have a 'File' called Zack, or whatever you called it, a 'Zack Frame Data.dmp' and a few sheets.

Now you insert it with the Custom Animation Manager function of FEditor. I'm sure you can figure that out. Save your ROM and close FEditor. Now open up the ROM in VBA and test it. if it's a bit choppy or laggy or misses some frames, you'll need to adjust the timing in your script.

Hope that helps
