Custom Animation "Unexpected errors"

[Mrbrkill]

fixed the problem, but now have another one (fancy that).

My code worked and now i have the animation files. Now what? I tried using the insert in the class animation manger,but the program would just "import" for a few seconds and nothing would happen. The animation i tried to import over did change, and in the rom it still has it changed. Help?

[Alfred Kamon]

.... Did you save the rom in FEeditor after importing the animation?

[Mrbrkill]

Yes I've saved it. When I try to insert it, there is a "importing animation" that makes it look like its loading something and then nothing changes at all. Any tips?

[Alfred Kamon]

I honestly don't know.

Do you have some screenshoots?

Seems strange to me.

[Mrbrkill]

I found out the problem. The ROM i was using turned out to be corrupt.

[Soldier]

I've been having trouble getting my custom animation to work as well, FEditor says that the script is fine, but when I set my character to the new animation, it will only do the outside battle sequence(the map view without battle sprites), could there be a problem with my script? or is it something else entirely?? I only have 7 frames in the animation, is the amount too small? it worked with only the standing frame but when I added the rest it stopped working

here's my script(I'm using a sample from Xeld's tut):

[Alfred Kamon]

Did you configure the animation correctly in the custom animation module and class module?

P.S. This obviously is needed if you use different weapons from the character you've changed the animation for, for example if you want an animation of lyn using magic when her animation is programmed for swords. So the game doesn't recognize the weapon/animation association and performs a simple map battle.

The problem is not in the animation script, otherwise FEeditor wouldn't have accepted it.

Give us more details, please.

[Soldier]

I apologize for the lack of information.. fortunately, the suggestion you provided worked and the sprite shows up in battles now!

but of course, when one problem is solved, another arises, now the colors are off, most are acceptable for the sprite, but not what is on the weapon, I'll post pictures of my battle frame and then the actual battle screen(also it doesn't show the piercing animation and I THOUGHT I entered that in right):

again, I'm sorry if I didn't provide enough information here

[shadowofchaos]

Because those are Seth's Paladin colors. You have to set the battle palettes for the characters via Nightmare modules.

[Soldier]

How ignorant of me lol thanks! now my animation is inserted and working perfectly I may need to add more frames later to make it a little smoother but for now I'll settle last question I have, how do I get it to show that I'm piercing the enemy? because that still doesn't show..

[shadowofchaos]

how do I get it to show that I'm piercing the enemy? because that still doesn't show..

For the modes (normal or critical attack) that you have the weapon piercing through, you basically make a copy of the frame and put it on the left side, excluding the 8 pixels that have the palette, showing only what it is supposed to be in the front.

Remember, each frame is 240x160, and FEditor has 8 pixels for the palette on the very right, so it's 248x160.

Say you have this:

(FE10 Swordmaster used for Elibian Nights)

If you want the sword looking like it's piercing through, you do this:

It'll end up being 488x160 pixels.

You CANNOT use the double imaged one for Mode 12, so you have to have a regular frame for the missed attack mode if it looks the same.

[Mrbrkill]

So i'm trying to insert the female pirate animation for the resource, but the hand axe animation wouldn't work, so I then tryed to create a new animation using the frames and code provide (i tried to get a new file that can be read by feditor if that wasn't clear) Now when i put the text in i get this error

You have an unnecessary terminator at the very top.

Also, you shouldn't have any dashes after commands (Like you have "C03 -" take out the dash).
