SmoulderingGT Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Does anyone have the inheritable sword skills patch? Or better yet, does anyone know the address of this code? I've only been able to find the simultaneous sword skills patch on the FEBinary uploader. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Unfortunately, I can't find it either. It's pretty much the holy grail of FE4 hacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoulderingGT Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Alright, I figured this out. It seems each character has a list of skills they can inherit. (These lists might be used for more than just inheritance). This list starts at 7A975 and ends at 7A9E9. Each character's list is 3 bytes long. They are all either D7 07 FB (middle byte contains sword skills. 07 means can't inherit sword skills) or D7 FF FB (can inherit sword skills). The characters are in the same order as the nightmare children module (I don't know where Leaf, Celice and Altenna are, however, the list is much longer than just the children characters, so they must be in there somewhere). I know that Fee starts at 7A9DE, which would be the fourth last character. To enable sword skills inheritance for a particular character, go to that character's list, and change the middle byte from 07 to FF. Holy Weapon Inheritance is also hard coded. The list is at 7AD55: C9 4B 00 F0 18 (Holsety) C9 62 00 F0 13 (Valkyrie) C9 36 00 F0 0E (Ichivail) Items in this list will be inherited no matter what. You can instead guarantee that they won't be inherited by switching: 18 -> 1E 13 -> 19 0E -> 14 At 7AD6C, there is a switch. Changing 7AD6C from 0B to 05 will make every holy weapon gauranteed to be inherited (regardless of their presence in the list). This behaviour is overruled by the "inheritance off" switch above. So, if you change 7AD55 to C9 15 00 F0 1E and 7AD6C to 05, all holy weapons will be inherited, except the Tyrfing, which won't be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 it probably isn't 07 to FF specifically due to the way bit logic works (0x07 = 0000:0111b and 0xFF = 1111:1111b so you're just hitting one of the switches there) i wonder what would happen if you changed it to something else besides 0xFF? maybe we'll get to see some garbage inheritance effect?

SmoulderingGT Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Specifically the way it works is that it's an AND on the sum of the parent's skills. The bits are: 01: Critical 02: Ambush 04: Charge 08: Astra 10: Luna 20: Sol 40: Light Sword Skill (or whatever) 80: Darkness sword So if you don't have FF, you can't inherit one of these skills. The other bytes in the skill list aren't FF because there are some bits in those ones that don't correspond to skills. If you don't care about Light and Dark sword, you could use 3F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 ah, so it's just a bunch of switches to determine what skills can/cannot be inherited? that's useful to know guess this means that they were intending to have critical/ambush/charge not be inherited by certain units? might show that they could have been thinking about ambush/wrath (granted i am shooting in the dark here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Humility Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Wow, thanks for the info, I've been wondering how to do this myself for months now. Since its on topic, anyone know where I could find the patch that allows the sword skills to be used with any weapon and also the one that allows multiple sword skills to occur simultaneously? Or even better, anyone know the adress of the code? I couldn't find either on the uploader or the wiki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoulderingGT Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) The developers could theoretically have disabled inheritance for any skill they wanted to for any character they wanted to by altering these lists. It's difficult to say if they actually intended to, but indeed, if you set 07 to 01, you would prevent that character from inheriting the sword skills, as well as charge and ambush. Similarly, if you changed the D7 to 00 for example, you would disable the inheritance of wrath, pursuit, continue, awareness, charisma, and prayer. Incidentally, the addresses that I posted earlier for sword skill inheritance are for a ROM without a header. As for the other sword skill patches, The simultaneous one is in the uploader. It's packaged in the file called 二次配布系 In there, there are a bunch of subfolders labeled FE3(stuff) FE4(stuff) FE5(stuff). The patch you're looking for is in the second FE4 folder. Go to the 8th subfolder of that one, and there should be three files called fe4_sskill_tA, _tB, and _tC You want tA. The other ones deal with the light sword and dark sword skills. I have no idea how they work. I also don't know where the weapon type sword skills patch or address is.

Shin Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Here's the sword skills patch. I believe the readme's have the offsets in them. http://www.sendspace.com/file/a1s4e1 Thanks for the find on inheritance, I've been looking for a solution for quite some time now!

God of Humility Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks a lot to both of you. Too bad no one knows where the weapon type sword skills patch is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
