MotK Emblem (FE hack) - HELP NEEDED INQUIRE WITHIN

[Fightest]

Me and axman will be axe users. Don't see anyone else wanting in on it so join the axe team and we can be like the 3 silly fairies.

Fightest!Hero is an axe user .

[Pesco]

I don't know the stuff well :derp:

[Dead Princess Sakana]

In other words all the Librarians will be mages of some sort. :V

Exactly. I think those are the most fitting roles.
I'll also try to drop in on the IRC channel tomorrow, so that I can see if there's any way I can help with the game.

[Ionasal kkll Solciel]

We also have a distinct lack of cavaliers.

I'll take one, if you don't mind.  I'll put up stats when I'm... less sleepy.

[Bardiche]

How much have you actually already accomplished with this? Are you skilled at the hacking work? Do you have a sprite-worker, and have you done this before? Just interested queries, I always like fangame edits.

[Spidere]

Anthony has expressed interest in being an axe user but he'll probably be a part of the Merc->Hero camp.

We also have a distinct lack of cavaliers.

I'll take whatever lacks players, really.

Oh, yeah, and I'll work on stats at some point. And I'll try to get on IRC.

[OkashiiKisei]

Yes, I think I've made a definite decision on my character.

I will be a Shaman (I just love them and their promotions. And Canas was the best character of FE7 :V), however, I'm an enemy you'll need to recruit. Talking to me with a Lord or a specific character (like Thundr) will convince me to join the party. Like most Shamans I would already be quite high level (about level 8 ) once you find me, appearing around Not!Eliwood chapter 10 or so.

As an enemy I may be a member of one of the evil organizations, like the Librarians or the dark magic forces of the Rinperium. Me and the other dark magic enemies will have Morphs of Soldiers and Archers around them. These Morphs require a hard and tedious process to be created, so once I join I will be unable to create these Morphs anymore (unless you can hack the 'Summon' skill from FE8 in the game, then I could use weaker versions in combat like a Summoner :3). Another alternative is that one extra chapter will have certain hidden spell components or scrolls that will allow my character (assuming you made me join) to create a perfect Morph. This Morph will then join the party as a normal, growing unit. I'm not sure who the Morph will be. Anyone could apply for the Morph role if they want, along with a class. Or the Morph character starts out as a Trainee-esque class, and depending on which promotion you give him/her (s)he'll get a different class.

I'm too busy to make stats right now. I'll come back on that later.

Bard where the HELL have you been.

I worked in fangame hacks before, but I MYSELF wasn't part of the actual editing >_> I was admin/writing/other stuff. Though I did have a modicum of editing under my belt, that was before the days of Twilk's awesome parsers >_>

[Bardiche]

Uhhhhh I am a new member of this board, and my contributions at the other place were mostly Mafia-related? Hey sorry okay we never talked about game editing there beyond LFT okay throw me a bone here.

I was just curious sheesh no need to blow up on me!

No I was referring to why you mysteriously disappeared from the chat at the other place. I was worried sick about you!

[Bardiche]

... way to look like a jerk, Bard. Way to go, genius.

Internal monologue aside, I uhhh, had things to do. Still do.

[theshirn]

Oh god that was an awful game. Actually, now I said that, there's, like, a 70% chance shim will fight me on that. But I stand behind my convictions!

You are correct.  Yggdra Union was an awesome game...as long as you used Shadowchaser's FAQ and didn't mind the RNG flipping you the bird every so often.  Oh, and as long as you didn't try to fight on Battlefield 13.

I've won that once.  Once.

[Stuffman]

Brigand -> Berserker (Promo bonus: HP+4 / STR+1 / SKL+1 / SPD+1 / DEF+2 / RES+2)
HP 24 - 70%
STR 8 - 55%
SKL 7 - 55%
SPD 3 - 25%
LCK 2 - 25%
DEF 4 - 40%
RES 3 - 30%
CON 14

I get one hit, and I make it count. Also I slashed a bit of the Brigand's normally astronomical HP and pushed it into defenses, so I get pretty tankish as the game goes on (since everybody and their mother will be doubling on me). I probably won't actually be coming in at level 1, you can put me wherever and scale my stats using averages. Does this look alright?
 
Plot-wise, I challenge people to battles and take their food if they lose. I fancy myself as some kind of chef. I don't really give a crap about the war but I'm easily bribed with meat.

As a side note, messing around with the utilities a bit, making graphics and units seems easy enough, but it seems it's actually kind of aggravating to make custom maps. We have people who actually have hex editing skill, right?

I LOVE YOU HARD SANA

22:02:13 (Sana) Prologue
22:02:20 (Sana) Setting: A Lord's house, a meeting between representatives of two countries
22:02:20 (Sana) People: Two Lords, and their representatives
22:02:32 (Sana) Country 1 Rep: Well, let us begin the meeting, shall we?
22:02:32 (Sana) As you all know, our relations have not always been friendly, but I'm quite sure
22:02:32 (Sana) everyone in this room does not want a war.
22:02:49 (Sana) Country 2 Rep: That may be true, but what can we do? The people have been getting restless.
22:03:03 (Sana) Country 1 Rep: Hm...it seems we need to gain the trust of your people. But how
22:03:03 (Sana) can we do that?
22:03:10 (Sana) Lord 2: An event to bring our people together....
22:03:15 (Sana) Lord 1: ...
22:03:23 (Sana) Country 1 Rep: What can you tell us about your people? It could help us find a common
22:03:23 (Sana) ground.
22:03:39 (Sana) Country 2 Rep: Well...among other things, our people take pride in their prowess in combat.
22:03:50 (Sana) Country 1 Rep: Combat? What sort of event brings people together that requires combat?
22:03:58 (Sana) Lord 1: ...a battle tournament, perhaps?
22:04:04 (Sana) Country 2 Rep: A wonderful idea! Milord, what do you think?
22:04:16 (Sana) Lord 2: I think it's a great idea.
22:04:46 (Sana) Country 1 Rep: Well, everybody seems to agree. We shall hold a battle tournament between our two countries. Now then, shall we begin planning?
22:05:40 (Sana) Months later...
22:05:59 (Sana) (That's all)

Weeeee

[Fightest]

Oh, hey, that's pretty nice! The tone is interesting: the Lords and reps sound very disconnected, as if they don't care about their kingdoms much and this is all tedious formality to them. Of course, this could well be intentional, and a pretty good tone choice for it.

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Oh, that looks nice. Well done, Sana.

_{Also, my apologies. Seems I won't be able to help much with the plot after all, despite what I said before, since I want to start writing on some fiction finally.}

[Stuffman]

Like I was saying on IRC, I think somebody needs to put together a little demo map since it looks like fairly complicated business and we should get a feel for how difficult this is going to be to make. There's a tutorial on the matter here: http://www.feshrine.net/hack/ultimatetutorial/

If it proves to be too annoying to hack the rom into oblivion, it might be possible to replicate the FE engine in RPGMaker or something?

[Rikter]

I will be looking into making a demo map this weekend.

And I might look for a text editor very soon as well.

[Sana]

I learned how to do text editing yesterday, so I can help with that too I think!

[Rikter]

Trance we should make Axman a fighter seeing as we lack one currently

Also Purvis should be the transporter

[Kuma]

Dissregard, I suck co(ry

[trancehime]

When we're going to do text-editing, which of these do you want to use, so we can be consistent:

FEditor Advance
Anti-Huffman Patch (the one Sana's using)
Parser (most likely Twilk's)

[Rikter]

Well from my reasearch FEditor advance isn't working for me. The Huffman Patch appears to have the most freedom but is harder to use while the Parser requires all Text to be near the same length as the original.

Now i'm leaning Huffman Patches unless I figure out FEditor Advance

[ES-Anthy]

If it's not to late I'd like to be in as a Nomad, stats to come at a later date.

Stats/Growth
Nomad
Level: 1   
HP:20/75%
Strength:7/65%
Skill:6/40%
Speed:7/50%
Luck:2/20%
Defense:6/35%
Resistance:3/15%

[Sana]

So I just tried that FEditor thing, and text editing is amazingly simple with it! I'm not sure if it has text limitations yet. I tried adding in a bunch of junk lines and it seemed to work just fine though.

[Rikter]

Oh you can get it to work Sana? I wasn't able to get it to work. It wouldn't let me rename an Iron Sword into anything else.

Guess I might some notes on what adresses are used where and when and the like.

[Sana]

After changing the text, you clicked the apply button then File-Save, right? Because if you don't click apply nothing happens. : P

Edit:

Text editing and portrait insertion/palette editing with FEditor is working!

Edit again: I found an event assembler! It looks really hard to use though. :S
Here

[trancehime]

Sana, I love you so hard right now.

On a serious note, I'm probably going to compile some stuff and upload it on some webspace that I have, and shit.

[Sana]

PEG KNIGHTS WERE HERE
SWORDS ARE LAME AND AXES ARE LAMER

Also, I'll probably start writing more of the plot, if anyone doesn't mind.

[Sapz]

In as a manly berserker. I know zilch about stats and the like, so go nuts with that. :3
