You're probably busy, but I'm wondering if you can point me in the right direction. Do you know any tutorials for the Nightmare Module? It seems simple but some things just aren't turning out right. How do I add characters.. and keep them? |

Ok, I got the Nightmare module pretty spot on now.. I miss using Hex editor to do everything
:P This way is a LOT faster though. My problems are with the Parsers and inserting portraits (and I guess battle sprites and palettes).. I just don't understand this at all. I can't use the Anti-Huffman patch at all, I just don't get it. The other parser kinda works but the R in Ryan doesn't appear and I don't know what to do about that. Adding enemies to maps is easy.. but how do I add new characters? And don't even try teaching me this portrait stuff it's way over my head and I'll never understand it :( |

Ok, you have all the standard noob problems everyone goes through. Pallettes, Portraits, Text, Characters, Maps. One thing leads to another. The easiest thing is actually Text. If I ever remember I'll upload the revised AH patch, since it wont give you any trouble. The AH patch gives you complete freedom over text as long as you know where to put it. Some people don't like it because it might be a little too complicated for them. But it's real easy, I'll try explaining without pics: ||AH Patch|| 1)Download the FE8 alltext file or script, and the FE7/8 .tbl files 2)Ctrl+F for the piece of text you want to edit 3)You'll see, above the text, a number between to pairs of @@ [@@000000@@] 4)Copy the numbers in between, ignoring the @@. 5)Open your hex editor, with the ROM to edit, and load the appropiate .tbl file. 6)Expand your ROM. You should have the option under Edit 7)Search for empty space using Ctrl+G. Type in 1000000. If you expanded correctly, you should find a bunch of 0s there. Now we reverse it and arrange it. Because it is 10000000, it turns into 00000089. The logic here is: [10aabbcc = ccbbaa89, 10 aa bb cc = cc bb aa 89... you reverse them in pairs of twos, and the last one always turns into 89] Copy the reversed offset in someplace safe. 8)Now, start writing what you want to change. First of all, you may need to press Tab to move the cursor on the writing space. Second. Always end ANYTHING you write there by typing Tab+00. If you loaded the tables, you should see the text end in an [X]. That's a good sign. 9)You'll need to reference the code table a lot on your first tries. Load the text file and look at it constantly till you find the effect or thing you need. When typing code directly, you need to press Tab to move the cursor to the code space. You always need to type code in pairs. 10)Ctrl+G to search for an offset, then Ctrl+V the offset number [the number you copied from the alltext/script >>> @@000000@@] 11)Confirm your search. This will take you to the beggining of the offset you wanna change. Now, type in the reversed offset where you typed the text to change. That would be CCBBAA89 in this example. 12)Enter and Save. Then test. This is trial and error, so don't decist on the 1st hundred or so times you hack it. You wont need to do it as much though. Some notes on AH hacking: There are two types of text you hack: Static Text and Conversation Text. You must also keep in mind the space of the text box and how far will it expand. There's where Tab+01 comes in handy. This creates a new line for your text. Now, for loading portraits to create a conversation, you need to type in: [AA: Pair of bytes that tell the portrait where to load] + [BB: Pair of bytes that tell the portrait to actually load] + [CC: Pair of bytes that tell which portrait to load] + [01: Veryfication Bytes] : 09103D01 = Tells Gheb To Load at the Middle Left. To actually begin to speak, you need to type in : [AA: Pair of bytes that tell where will the text pop up] + Text. So if you want Gheb to talk, you'd go : 09Bla Bla Bla. I have no idea if you'll get any of this but I tried. I'll post more info on the next post. |

That is a lot more helpful than the "help" file that came with the AH pack. Thanks a lot. I'll give it a try and see where it takes me. |

I got the text editing down for the most part. I was able to change Eliwood and Lyn's name. I'll try a convo now. |

I was successful on changing a convo. The rest is trial and error now. I've got the basics down, thank you so much for going out of your way to point me in the right direction. |

For adding new characters, what exactly do you mean, what have you been doing to try and add new characters exactly? |

If this is topic open for anyone to ask questions, I've got a few things: How do you import stuff from other fire emblems into another? I do not have an all text file for FE8, where might I find it? How do I create custom pallattes and upload them to the hack? Then how do I upload custom face? |
