Fire Emblem: A Sacred Dawn DX

Well, I can't wait to see what you come up with, including any new custom animations you may have been working on.

[That One Guy]

The jerkiest. :3

Well, I guess I can throw this out there while I wait for either Rey or Cam to help me out since I can't progress yet. This chapter features rain, but it's not slowing down any of the units. I knew that rain in FE8 still slowed down your units and then I figured out that it was due to the terrain I was on - the map is a ship. No penalties out at sea, it seems. I figured that FE8 would have a Nightmare Module to edit that, but it looks like it doesn't, so it looks like I'll have to edit it in hex... oh dear

In other news, I've been working on text for several chapters as a pastime and have hit Ch. 8. One more and I'll have finished all of the text for the first act of ASDDX. Still need to format all of it, though. xD

(also my birthday's in 9 days and I don't have anything planned to give you guys dammit)

At least you admit your jerk tendencies.

So you're trying to make rain slow us down eh? I...vaguely remember that in FE8. I need to replay it. Also good to know that you've almost got all the text down. Half curious question go: Do you have a plan for how many units we're going to get total? As always, keep up the good work Ray.

There's a semblance of a plan of units that I have set up that might change a bit in the future depending what I do past Ch. 9, but a plan nonetheless.

SO STORY TIME GAIZ

Rey's been working on trying to help me with my problem of setting the right units to deploy in Ch. 5x with everyone else gone. He figured out a method that works and allows for me to finally continue working on it, sorta. The new problem that arose, though...

Well, Rey and I talked it over on Skype and this is what happened(warning: can get a bit nerdy):

[spoiler=chatlog][10:51:06 PM] Raymond Soto: FUCK YEEEEAH.

[10:51:26 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): it works?

[10:51:30 PM] Raymond Soto: Yup.

[10:51:39 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): lol. this is just your BEGINNING chapter thing

[10:51:44 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): we still need to figure out that routine at the end

[10:51:47 PM] Raymond Soto: Autocursor still acts up, but MAN.

[10:51:59 PM] Raymond Soto: This is a good start as any.

[10:52:02 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Okay. Autocursor is still screwing up?

[10:52:10 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): So that mean you can AT LEAST work on the chapter okay?

[10:52:24 PM] Raymond Soto: For the most part.

[10:52:36 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): hmm... i wonder why Autocursor's doing that

[10:53:07 PM] Raymond Soto: By checking Status, the game still thinks that Josh is the lord for this map.

[10:53:15 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): fudge

[10:53:46 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): hmmm...

[10:53:54 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): it's autocursoring for Ephraim for me.

[10:53:57 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Is Josh on Ephraim's slot?

[10:54:00 PM] Raymond Soto: Yeah.

[10:54:06 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Remember that array?

[10:54:16 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): is Josh on it?

[10:54:42 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Is Josh supposed to be on the map?

[10:54:46 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): like your chapter

[10:54:56 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Because remember, Chapter 5x makes Ephraim the autocursor lord.

[10:54:57 PM] Raymond Soto: No, he's not.

[10:55:02 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Is he in the array?

[10:56:06 PM] Raymond Soto: Nope.

[10:56:18 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): he's NOT?

[10:56:21 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): wait

[10:56:22 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): WHAT

[10:56:44 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): 0x0F isn't in there right?

[10:56:51 PM] Raymond Soto: From that other thing you told me to paste.

[10:56:55 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): oh lol

[10:57:01 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): 1002000

[10:57:09 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): there's a 0x0F there?

[10:57:14 PM] Raymond Soto: Nope.

[10:57:17 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): then wtf

[10:57:25 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Y u trolling me FE8

[10:58:09 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): sometimes I hate hacking.

[10:58:11 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): sometimes.

[10:58:12 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): XD

[10:58:45 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): can you screenshot?

[10:58:53 PM] Raymond Soto: Sure.

[10:59:12 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): 1002000Screenshot that and wtf is going on on your screen

[10:59:13 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): XD

[10:59:21 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): that autocursor's gonna be a pain to figure out, ain't it?

[11:00:39 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): I'm gonna kill something

[11:00:40 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): XD

[11:01:19 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Oh well, at least you've got a start >_>;

[11:03:06 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): WAIT A SECOND

[11:03:12 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): remember

[11:03:14 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): it switches modes

[11:03:18 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): doesn't it?

[11:03:30 PM] Raymond Soto: I think.

[11:03:36 PM] Raymond Soto: I have no gold, for example.

[11:03:58 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): damn, this is might be more complicated than Cam and I first thought

[11:03:59 PM] Raymond Soto: If that's the case, it makes sense.

[11:04:21 PM] Raymond Soto: The inner workings of FE8.

[11:04:30 PM] Raymond Soto: Can it topple the minds of asians!?

[11:04:41 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): I'm looking in my memory viewer

[11:04:46 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): I'm gonna find that damn mode

[11:05:05 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Here's the thing

[11:05:13 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): your other team

[11:05:16 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): has no lord.

[11:05:21 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): that usually gets autocursor for that mode.

[11:05:29 PM] Raymond Soto: Ah, valid point.

[11:05:45 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Challenge accepted

[11:05:46 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): lol

[11:06:12 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): "IF" it switches modes for the chapter

[11:06:21 PM] Raymond Soto: But I was thinking that it was like the Tower, Ruins, or Skirmish, when you don't have to bring the Lords.

[11:06:24 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): and switches out of it after you seize with ephraim

[11:06:30 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): it makes sense that you wouldn't see it on the save screen

[11:06:32 PM] Raymond Soto: Making SOMEONE the "lord" for that map.

[11:06:33 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): it makes SENSE

[11:06:54 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): But I was thinking that it was like the Tower, Ruins, or Skirmish, when you don't have to bring the Lords.[11:07 PM] Raymond Soto:

<<< Making SOMEONE the "lord" for that map.The lord being the first character in the slots.

[11:06:58 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Hmmm.

[11:07:00 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): That makes sense then

[11:07:19 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Cam and I will have to look at those chapters and take advantage of the autocursor to the first unit.

[11:07:47 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Dammit Ray. Quite the challenge generator aren't ya? XD

[11:08:42 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Lords.

[11:08:44 PM] Raymond Soto: When it comes to ASD, a ROM hack I've bee working on since 2008, challenges are everywhere.

[11:08:53 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): And drug cookies.

You can say you are quite...

[11:08:58 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): *puts on sunglassess*

[11:09:00 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): the Drug Lord.

[11:09:02 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): *shot*

[11:09:08 PM] Raymond Soto: 8)

[11:09:20 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): Not to mention being a "fat weeb"

[11:09:22 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): my gosh Ray

[11:09:27 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): you're accumulating titles

[11:09:28 PM] shadowofchaos725 (Rey): XD

[11:09:53 PM] Raymond Soto: WEEB FOR HUMANITY

tl; dr, Autocursor's a dick and Rey sees trying to find a way to combat this a challenge. What ASD does to people...

Well, at least I can work on this again...

[Nanami Touko]

Progress means I get to LP it sooner

GET ON IT, SOTO.

[shadowofchaos]

Oy. Ray. Weebmond Touhou

0202BCFE. The Chapter number. Whenever I change it to something in the preparations screen (yes I experimented with 5x) to something else, the lord gets changed to whoever is on the first slot. Same with whoever's "forced", like how Natasha is forced in when it's 0x06 for Chapter 5: The Empire's Reach.

I REALLY don't know how we're gonna figure this out, but it'll have to be messing with what chapter number gets used and whatnot.

Autocursor's quite the pain.

I'm going to sleep now.

I pretty much gave up so I PM'd Nintenlord for any help he's willing to give.

[PurpleNinjaPanda]

Hey guys i'm new to the form, was wondering when this hack is going to be finished? Or Has is already? and I just missed the link? The game looks great by the way I love it so far

[fuzz94]

No patches at this point, he is up to chapter 5 and I would hope it would be finished eventually.

(Sometimes reading through the whole thread will tell you this, but your new so it's understandable)

something about the 0x00010001 that gets stored into character data (that isn't eph, forde or kyle) has to be significant

i'll do some more testing later

[Agro]

Couldn't you just... skip over 5x for chapters? Or does the way SS's events work not allow you to do that?

[Mage Knight 404]

I could, yes, but this map really is a side map in this current plot, so I don't want to.

[That One Guy]

I could, yes, but this map really is a side map in this current plot, so I don't want to.

This. Respect. Just cause it's giving you trouble doesn't mean you should give up/skip it. As always, keep up the good work Ray. Happy early birthday as well!

Weebmond Touhou here is just having fun with this, though... I'm having a hard time telling if he was serious.

And since he made up the title "A Sacred Dawn" from combining FE8 and FE10's title's long ago before he knew how to event hack... Seems kinda fitting to do so in Japanese, despite the possible error.

Even if he's not serious, we had a laugh about it. That's what counts.

geng xi huan

geng is a modifier that vaguely means "more" or something i can't translate it directly, but "gengxihuan" means "like more"

uh

yeah
