Sephie-chan Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hi there, I tried out to replace the Level Up Screen in FE7 with said GBA Graphics Editor. I saved the old original Picture of it and edited it. But when I try to insert it back nothing happens. And yes, it has 16 colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 You will need to manipulate the TSA after you insert your graphics with tiles. Since it's compressed, you'll need to repoint it and then manipulate it with the OLDER GBA Graphics editor (If you're using the newest one, it won't let you edit compressed palettes or TSA). It's the same way as editing the Battle Frame, except it should be simpler because it's a box and you don't have to deal with all the complicated format stuff.

Jubby Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hey shadow, a little off topic, does this mean you need the old version of GBAGE to do the custom battle frame as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryrumeli Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 If the newer GBAGE is unable to mess with compressed TSAs and Palettes(Hm. Good to know), then yes. ...albeit to be honest, I am almost sure the TSA, and I think the Palette for battle frames were uncompressed, so in the end it is do-able with both versions.

Jubby Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Oh, okay, that's good then. Does anybody pooooossibly have a link to an older edition of GBAGE, just in case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Oh, okay, that's good then. Does anybody pooooossibly have a link to an older edition of GBAGE, just in case? Older version: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5490460/Nintenlord%27s%20Crap/GBA%20Graphics%20Editor%20%28older%29.exe The TSA for the battle frame isn't compressed, so you should be able to edit it just fine with the newer one.

Crimson Red Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Of course Nintenlord implemented that feature to prevent people from having problems with data insertion. The solution is to manually decompress whatever is needed, edit it, then recompress, reinsert, and repoint. A lot more work but hopefully doing it manually will allow people to have less problems with overwriting data. Maybe NL will add a feature to allow to repoint TSA and compressed palettes in the future while editing so that they may not overwrite other data but that is of course up to NL...

Jubby Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Excellent, thanks guys. I'll try Blazer's way and then if I end up somehow screwing it up I'll probably just end up using the older GBAGE EDIT: I mean STRAWHAT LUFFY's way* Edited October 2, 2011 by Jubby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Red Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I think it's easier to just use the old GBAGE actually, just be careful about where the data is so that you don't overwrite anything. XP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubby Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Sorry, I just thought of ONE last question for you guys... Do you know how to edit the statsheet? Not the greenish background, but thissssss? http://www.fesos.de/sprites/templates/fe7_sheet_de.png (I don't know why it's in German but you get the idea... xD?)

AstraLunaSol Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm trying to alter that myself, though for now, I think one can only change the graphics they use. Dunno about the TSA related to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) So do you know where the graphics are located? I could only find the location of the green background EDIT: That is, the offset. Edited October 4, 2011 by Jubby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Does anybody know the offset for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstraLunaSol Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 The graphics (I think) are located here: Blue Stat 1D5844 Red Stat 1D6130 Green Stat 1D72E4 Grey Stat 1D6A24 You know how FE7 has those tiny alterations if you change colors? Yeah, those are the respective offsets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I think you hit the nail right on the head, they look just right... I'll probably just do the carefully pasting over thing, and leave the TSA the way it is :P Do you know any of the palette offsets, by chance?

AstraLunaSol Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Not currently, however it shouldn't take me long to find them, I'll post them after school tomorrow since it's late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Okay, thanks! I really like your avatar, by the way XP Not that it's relevant to the discussion at all, but yeah :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryrumeli Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Just going to drop this bomb here. The TSA for those is a bit hard to edit if you want to edit it manually. Can't give much details since FE7 isn't my cup of tea, but the way it works altering the TSA isn't your walk on the park if my memory doesn't fool me. Oh, and also, out of curiosity, those tiles also exist in FE8, and are loaded in the same way as they are in FE7, so bringing back those to FE8 would be a matter of using the FE7's TSA in FE8.

Jubby Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I agree that the TSA is probably very hard to edit; I was going to just repoint the graphics and overwrite the current palette, and just use the existing TSA (so the image I'd insert would be arranged the way the one without the TSA is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstraLunaSol Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Palettes: Blue 1D60F0 Red 1D69E4 Grey 1D72A4 Green 1D5844 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubby Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Okay, new question: just as a test I saved it as a bitmap, changed the palette a bit in usenti, then reinserted it; everything worked, but when I opened it in game, the left side of the portrait box still had the original palette. Do you think the left side is a different image/ palette from the rest of the images? I'm going to test it on the other colours after school as well.

AstraLunaSol Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I probably know what you mean, that palette is 3FCBAC. The light blue and stuff, on the portrait space, yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Could be in that palette too, maybe; I'll attach a picture; if you zoom in you can see the normal peachish colours on the left side, but if you look at the top and bottom of it you can also see where I changed the palette to grey. The right side wasn't affected, though (That's why the picture's only of the left) Edit: I'll try to edit the palette with the bluey background tonight and see if that fixes it.
