FE Asset Repository Discussion Thread

Yeah, that’s probably the common Downgit error people have gotten. You DL too many things and shit just stops working.

I recommend using Gitzip. It’s a better user experience overall.

Github and You: Maximizing Your Usage of the new Graphics Repository

[image] As of today, the Fire Emblem Graphics Repository is officially switching from Google Drive to Github. The reasons why are numerous, and explaining all of them would be a big pain. Needless to say, as the ‘owner’ of the Repo and basically the guy who has managed/run it since its inception, I didn’t make this decision lightly. There’s basically a 0% chance I’ll not do this. So, with that in mind, let’s discuss how, exactly, this change will affect FEU, and how you guys, the end users and…

Give this whole post a read.

@Kanna I don’t really mind in this case, especially since the permissions match up, but I think it might be pertinent that when you splice from someone else’s work that crediting them is done, especially if F2E since that can lead to a neverending telephone game of corruption

[monk-han]

sorry i just couldnt understand how to script it because i am such a noob in everything thats not art but if anyone want to use the animations, feel free to use it and script it for your hack!

[RyanTheBerserker]

Sorry for asking this here but does anyone know how to make a character have a custom name?

[queerCthulhu]

omg thank you so much ive been looking for lissa anims for my fe warriors remake in gba and these are so good

[darknight97]

my cringy potrait for an older ewan

@darknight97 your submission doesn’t fit the repository criteria, so your post was moved

[Klokinator]

Your portrait is zoomed in, and also lacking frames. While frames are not necessary to be submitted to the repo, they are preferred. It’s the zoomed-in size that makes your portrait invalid, though.

Glad someone made use of that finally. That was my first and only ever battle anim lol

@Dark
Is there a reason you’re submitting someone else’s work?

[Dark]

Because I talked to the person and he/she gave me permission.

Edit1: Don’t worry, I ask and make sure that there won’t be a problem before posting something. I always respect the Creator’s will.

[dancer_A]

Generally users should be submitting their own work, so this doesn’t answer my question lol

[Dark]

Hm. About that I kind of don’t have an answer. After playing some of their games I noticed that some sprites weren’t here, so I asked if the creators would feel alright and also would give permission to share them on the repository with the community.

[dancer_A]

Then let them do it.

[Klokinator]

If Dark asked permission, then there’s no problem. Some people just don’t like posting on FEU, for whatever reasons. It’s a non-issue.

Your animations are well good done and I hope you will share them with us if you make any more.

Since the Touhou Emblem portraits have been shared, I might as well share these that were worked on in collaboration with Rye_on_Speed.

These ones are, as far as I know, not in Touhou Emblem, but this does encompass almost every named, major character who is absent from said hack. Credit to Rye_on_Speed for setting up formatting on most of the ones in the bottom two folders (and fixing an error with Sariel’s), as well as the idea to use Hemoglobin_A1C’s sprites as the base. In addition, the 2hu2 folder has additional credits that are partly on a sprite-by-sprite basis due to them being based on the Shard of Dreams Extended mod for Touhou Puppet Dance Performance, but I’ll go ahead and clarify them here, and suffice to say I did check to make sure they were free to use beforehand.

You should also include in the credits doc the original development team of TPDP, namely FocasLens, since they’re the ones that did 99% of the work in this (as in, the actual portraits/full sprites in the game.) I doubt anyone would use them, but it’d be irritating to have them not get credited for the work they did on the off chance someone does.

…it’s also probably just me and a friend, but using other games’ sprites as resources to share to the public, and calling them ‘free to use’, just feels extremely wrong to me.

Splicing FE portraits is now a bad thing. We’ve come full circle.

Also don’t hack FE games, that would be stealing the work of Intelligent Systems.

Any other lukewarm takes people want to vomit onto this thread? It’s been a real dismal past week or so.

Edit: And worth mentioning, if something is going to be shared publicly, of course it’s going to be listed as F2U. That is what the term F2U means. It’s for people to use.

The credits do need to be added though.

@JeyTheCount

Don’t want to be rude or anything but talking about preserving copyright on a forum revolving among other around hacking games is kinda hypocritical.

Fair point there, but I think preserving copyright within the bounds of ‘we’re romhacking here’ is still something worth to think about. Just my thoughts I probably shouldn’t have tacked on.

[SirNicee]

Given the above, yeah I agree that FocasLens as a whole should get a credit as well. I chose to credit Hemoglobin because he was the one who actually made the original sprites, but crediting the entire circle as well is fairer.

I’ve taken the liberty of updating the credits doc in the relevant folder as well.
