I want to try and use the 3DS Fire Emblem editor known as Paragon, but I can’t get it to work when I start a new project. I’m always getting errors like "Failed to read data from store ‘characters’ " or “static.bin.lz doesn’t exist”. Am I missing something, like some crucial files? I can’t find any proper installation tutorials online, I read the requirements and I can’t find downloads for all of those either. If anyone can tell me how to set it up, I’d be grateful
did you dump your rom? You need a dump of rom to work with Paragon.
When creating a project you need to point paragon to the folder where your rom dump is, and to a project folder where the changes will be saved
Yes I dumped it with Citra, but the project still won’t let me do any actual changes
Hmm
Maybe try asking over at gbatemp or gamebanana? They seem to be more into Fates hacking than here
The gbatemp thread also has some tutorials iirc.
I did get it to work, only now that there isn’t a import/export button anywhere, so I can merge all the Fates mods
ah!
download the old version. The rewrite version doesn’t have the import/export function.
Is it not possible to open an existing GameData.bin.lz file to export its changes so I can import them into a new one?
You have to manually export anything you want using the export option.
Put the mod you want to export in the project folder, then pick what the mod changes from the export option.
