FEeditor Adv. bug with FE7

[the cool guy]

So my brother wanted to do a hack while only using Feditor and Nightmare and edited the text "Are you awake?" from the beginning of the game.

And it crashed. Using newest version.

you

messed

something

up

so give more details

[shadowofchaos]

He probably used Nightmare first and then screwed up the checksum. And with that, FEditor doesn't know any free space and ends up screwing up a pointer or something.'

Tell us EXACTLY what you did.

[the cool guy]

Took nightmare before and changed Lyns class into eliwood lord changed base stats and changed her portrait into a recolored Zephiel. Edited the emblem blade into an iron rune. (Experimenting stuff)

Then i changed the Are you awake? into Could you please stop dreaming!

"Exactly what you did".

You're skipping the "what buttons did you press in what order?"

If anything do this:

Open up a clean ROM in FEditor Adv. Save. Close it.

Open up your ROM in nightmare. Do your edits.

Then fix the checksum. The way to do it if your Hex Editor is HxD is:

If you have HxD, open your ROM in Nightmare and do your edits, and then save it. Afterwards, go into HxD, go to the end of the ROM and delete the last 4 bytes. Go to "Analysis", then "Checksums", click "CRC-32" and then "OK"... you'll see the checksum at the bottom of the screen...

Write it at the end of the ROM like you would a pointer, replacing the 4 bytes you deleted earlier...

For example, if your checksum was "1301A6F4", you would put "F4 A6 01 13" at the end of the ROM...

THEN do your text edits.
