Klokinator Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yeah, though you can easily take that border off. I did for Sacred Contention, because I dislike it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwdYeti Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yeah, the smallest default map size is 20x12. But you'll be able to change the size of the map border, or remove it entirely, or have the size change on a per-map basis, or change partway through a chapter with events /FE9 ch20whatever It's also possible to change the size of the game window, but then you'd have to edit a lot of the menus and screens to work with a smaller/larger resolution (I imagine it's the kind of thing someone would put together scripts for) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be awesome to finally see a lot of good ideas be brought forward now that we've got more freedom. Now, I'm not sure if I've asked this yet or not, but I was wondering about whether there was any implementation or option to add something in the vein of a pre-title opening? Like how FE7 has the little opening story about the Scouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool on the splash screens, but are there things we can do like add overlays and stuff? So instead of a single splash screen it'd be multiple layers of images? What about effects like moving images, transparency(also fading in and out), or wave effects like in FE7? I suppose if need be to get a somewhat wave effect we could do a transparent wave shaped overlay and then scroll it up, idk. I just want to hear about options plz.

Lord Glenn Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 You *should* be able to do all of that, if what my limited research on C# (and my general programming knowledge) seems to be turning up. Like most things in FEXNA, it should come down to you just needing to implement it manually. (And, considering that FE7 was probably developed in something similar to or based on C++, it should be doable, I would think...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klokinator Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) C# is one of the most popular coding languages currently used in 2014 for indie games. If Yeti doesn't include something, I'm 100% sure another C# coder can.

fengaridotdll Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) I hope it does not take too long before open beta.

Klokinator Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 There will never be an open beta. When we release it, it'll be a full release. There may (In fact likely will be) updates/additions and bugfixes, but for the most part it will be complete. Again, no ETA on that but as before, we're close.

nemid Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Just so I can get an idea of how easy/hard this is to use, how long did it take, sice the beginning to v.1.0, to make chaos mode and how long would it take to make an entirelly new hack in FEXNA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 That's a good question. After I calculate the exact amount of time it would take me to port my hack to FEXNA (Because, see, it's not made in FEXNA, it's a romhack) I'll let you know. As for how long it took me to make my hack, 7 months not counting the years of preliminary mental planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better download and fire up Visual Boy Advance M soon... (Along with an emulation of Rekka No Ken and Sacred Stones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I don't see what roms have to do with this topic. FEXNA isn't a romhack, a rom, a tool for viewing roms, an emulator, or anything along that sort. It's a custom game engine that allows you to make your own standalone games.

Lord Wolfram Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I forget all the time to ask but here I will ask now. What are parameters for this engine. i.e system requirements. Plus the files that will be needed to download for using this engine. I know you could say that Win XP users can't use it but there is prof that we can. So this can be really valuable info. Ah and can you list the Videos that shows something about this project? And way to support your team. Not funding! I don't have money myself but other ways. NO! I don't want to be beta tester. Possible release day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zepher-Tensho Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ah~! C# huh? I learned a small bit after I learned Visual Basic. I never learned enough C# to do anything useful, but it's amazing to see a game engine being built on it. But being a Linux man, I think I'll pursue Java instead. Anyway, really excited for this! It looks like it'll simplify making an FE game aside from ROM hacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwdYeti Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 If you're looking for a more exact number for system requirements, let's say the minimum recommended is 2Ghz core 2 duo, 2GB ram (ie. what my old laptop has and everything works well enough when I test on that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klokinator Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 FEXP stutters occasionally even for my gaming laptop. FEXNA doesn't. I think FEXNA is optimized far more efficiently, but only actually testing it when it comes out will be the best indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 pretty sure fexp will stutter on any computer you could possibly run it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kysafen Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) These are too big numbers. That's it I am going to Work only on FEXP. 2 GB of RAM is something you could upgrade to on a kid's pocket change. I got 8GB of RAM with my computer for just $35, and it's damn well worth it. That was 2 years ago, and the price is only getting lower and lower. Research your computer's motherboard and see if it's possible to do a RAM upgrade, and how much it'd cost. Look at it this way; for an engine that'll have all the features to play and create with that you've seen Yeti promise thus far, would YOU find it worth the investment? I know I would, were I in your shoes. Edited October 23, 2014 by Kysafen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klokinator Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Basically if FEXP runs full speed on your computer, FEXNA should also run full speed. You can always download an FE7x demo to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
