Some FE7 Hacking Issues

Ziose0 · January 28, 2012

I've been trying to become self-dependant and learn on my own...and I have for the most part...but here's three things I've yet to figure out what's wrong.

1. Okay so I'm starting on making my hack, and once I got to chapter 3, I tried to set the winning conditions in my custom events to DefeatAll. But everytime I use this code the game goes through the opening events then straight to the ending event, however if I use any other winning condition it works...<_<

Here's my code:

2. I've been experiencing problems with my lord's class. All I did was try to switch the main lord's animation to nino's. But I didnt remove Eliwood's, Lyn's, or Hector's animation, so I'm wondering what happened? I put lilina's animation in the original mage spot, and moved nino's to the monk animation. So when I use the nino animation it works perfectly until she attacks, and I get this:

I don't know what happened, so I played around with it and switched the lilina animation and the nino one to see if it was broken, but then the lilina wouldn't work. So Is there something wrong with the monk animation slot or something?

3. The main problem that's really happening is that while I edit my hack, everytime I edit a chapter beyond chapter 1 and try to play it, the main lord changes into a female mage, and I don't know why...ANY help would be appreciated... :(

shadowofchaos · January 28, 2012

For #2:

Cape looping frames are hardcoded. You put a mage animation in a non mage slot and crap happens during the animation.

So basically, you can only replace the generic (Nino) short haired female mage animation with Lilina's animation. "Replace". You can't have both unless your code one from scratch using the custom animation module.

Jubby · January 28, 2012

The mage animation has a cape flowing thing that's hardcoded. I don't know if the monk does but it could be causing problems... Your event question should go in the EA questions thread.

Edit: Dammit, ninja'd

Edited January 28, 2012 by Jubby

Ziose0 · January 28, 2012

Oh.... ;.; I suppose that makes sense then...uh but since the animation has pretty much already been assembled is it not possible to just remake it using what I got when I originally dumped the animation on my computer? So I just use the frame data or what?

Or could I replace the Nino Sage animation with another mage and have it work?

The animation slot is hardcoded, I thiiiiiink, so no. Replacing the sage (again I thiiiiiink) would work.

That worked. Now I just have to fix my other two problems... :/. More importantly the third one. the first one can be worked around..

CT075 · January 29, 2012

Explain exactly what it is you are doing to change your lord's class. Right down to every step, not just "nightmare". Tell me exactly what values you changed, since I think I can guess if you give me some more information.

Ziose0 · January 29, 2012

Actually....I'm not entirely sure what I did but I fixed it...O_o. I think it was me changing the class number though that did it.

Ziose0 · January 29, 2012

I spoke too soon...I forgot about this error on Ch. II....

This constantly happens everytime I reupload my custom events into the rom. And then everytime I replay through the chapter it pilfers the torch you're supposed to get and then just plays the music while nothing happens. Sometimes it would show an inventory of items that the character didnt have like 3 goddess icons with 229 uses. Not sure what's going on there...but here's the code for that chapter in case it's something I've mistyped:

CT075 · January 29, 2012

First of all, I've always had problems with ITGM, I usually use ITGC instead.

Also, you're missing the blank TURN/LOCA codes at the end of your pointers.

Ziose0 · January 29, 2012

Ahh...that fixed it :D. And as far as I'm concerned that's all that was left. Thank you guys very much

Nintenlord · January 29, 2012

1) Turn, location, character and misc events need to end in TURN, LOCA, CHAR or AFEV with no parameters. If you leave it out, the game will continue reading and interpret your CHAR events as location based events, too.

2) VillageEventMoney and HouseEvent have ENDA code in them, there's no need to add one after them.

3) Event ID 1 is reserved for boss quote, so don't use it in normal events, you use it in TURN code in the first events.

4)

ENUN is recommended after LOU1 and MOVE codes. It causes the game to wait until units have stopped moving. Since your reinforcements don't move, it really isn't needed and sometimes having units move while character talks is desirable, but generally you want to have ENUN after MOVE and LOU1 codes.

Ziose0 · February 5, 2012

I forgot to thank you for your advice ;.; but thanks!

Another thing here...I've been having problems with the IFCA event code. It says it doesn't exist, when I try to assemble the event. Here's what I'm typing.

There's this file called "EA code language" or something. It contains some useful things, such as "a list of codes and their respective parameters".

shadowofchaos · February 5, 2012

So basically, you're missing a parameter. That's why the assembler is saying the code isn't recognized.

Ziose0 · February 5, 2012

Ahh, I see...also, is it possible to have a house event and a shop event happen in the same location?

Also, okay, now I can assemble the event, but the house event I just made doesn't appear. Does it being over a vendor have anything to do with it?

Edited February 5, 2012 by ziose0

CT075 · February 5, 2012

I could stick a house event over an empty plain of grass and it'd still work. From what you've told me my diagnosis is (wait for it) "You screwed something up in your events"

also, seven times.

Edited February 5, 2012 by Camtech

Primefusion · February 5, 2012

I think zio is asking if it's possible to have a house event and a vendor shop list on the same coordinate. Here's how you find out: Move one of the events over a tile. If it works then, you'll have an answer.

A little shout out to everyone in general: Don't be afraid to just try something out. If you're not sure it'll work, make a backup and have a go. You'll learn and retain more that way.

Ziose0 · February 5, 2012

Well no, I mean, I did try it. I had just the vendor there at first, but it wouldn't show. So I thought maybe I could put a house there too. But the house event didn't show. Then I took away the vendor. Still no house event...so I can't find that out until I find out what's wrong with my event(s)

edit: Okay so you can't put a vendor or shop in the same local as a house, the vendor/shop will just overwrite it apparently. BUT still, back to the house event I'm trying to insert. When it loads, it fades out, loads the background, then goes to the opening of the game...

Also, are you sure those text slots are safe to use?

Edited February 5, 2012 by Camtech

Ziose0 · February 5, 2012

It's the text slots...what's wrong with them though? They're just support convos that I wrote over. I've been writing over the support convos this whole time with these types of events and this is the first time it's come up like this.

CT075 · February 5, 2012

Some of them are just weird that way. You are using the source I just fixed for you instead of the unfixed one, right?

Try using a different set of text slots and seeing if anything changes.

Ziose0 · February 5, 2012

I got it....I was trying to use the [LoadFace][0xFF][0xFF] but I put [0xFF][0x01] ....<_<

Also, apparently the spot where a vendor shop is, I can't place a house or village event...harcoded I guess...oh well though it's no big deal.

But really man, thank you for all your help
