Got it. Thanks.
Binary 100 = Randomize unit loading position.
In dungeon and skirmish maps, when the event code [2B21] is called before a LOAD instruction, the parameter of this code is used to configure the overall probability that units marked with flag 100b will have their starting position modified, based on their initial coords and their ability to cross the surrounding terrain.
Without calling event [2B21], or calling with no parameters, this flag has no effect (it will be cleared when loading the unit data into the EventUnitDataBuffer). This is why it was thought to be unused.
Investigation of ASM
Event2B_ stores the parameter of [2B21] to MapEventEngine+4E.
This value is read at FBF0.
If this value is not set, “Randomize unit loading position” flag is cleared when copying the unit to the 0203efb8 gEventUnitDataBuffer (clearing occurs at FA5C based on parameter in r10).
If the flag still exists in the unit data buffer at this point, a helper function at 0807a014 MoveUnit_ will construct a list of spaces within the unit’s starting movement range, choose one based on RNG result, and place the unit at those new coordinates.

I’m not sure, maybe you have checked this already, if you did, sorry to bother, I think this is the solution, thanks for your work and time as always.
I should have adapted the patch.
Can you explain the problem in more detail?
Where does the problem occur?
How can I check that?
What’s wrong and what’s right?
Please explain in detail.
Quick question, perhaps a stupid one. My experience with modding is limited. I just wanted to add a character in fe8. Starting in chapter one. I have manually placed him in all the chapters up to 4 (which is where you first select your units). This unit is setup in the player army (on the unit placement part) but this unit cannot trade and when it comes to chapter 4 the unit cannot be selected as part of the army. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi again, I’m having a problem with tileset changes on my maps. They don’t seem to change anymore when they’re supposed to activate. I have the tiles set up on the map editor and the events all there, but they just won’t work. They used to.
This is an example of what I mean.
this also goes for closed village tiles, destroyed villages, and chests. I’d appreciate the help
I Suspect the issue unit is not considered part of the player army. but it is controlled during player turns and what not so i cannot imagine why. But this would make sense for why they do not show up in the army selection screen when you pick which units to deploy
Did you give an event for the door to open?
I have also tried altering two units. One from franz and one from gilliam, the gilliam unit can still trade and be selected in unit deployment but the franz unit cannot.
This sounds a lot like you gave those units the Supply flag. It prevents trading and hides them from preparations.

That is indeed the issue. I did not read properly and made an assumption of what that tag did and I was mistaken.
In fe 8 if you set a unit to have more than 30 in a stat. It makes the bar (when inspecting the unit) cut off and continue slightly below it. See in picture. I have seen this cause issues, as in if they are maxed and you save. close the game and then resume. It reduces whtatever stat there was there by 30. Example say a stat is 35 when you save and close. when you resume it will be down to 5 (at least that is my experience in the past). Is there a way to make sure that doesn’t happen? perhaps the issue is caused by the stat bar graphic, or is there a limit that says certain stats can not be above x? Please let me know thanks.
If you are using Febuilder which I assume so, this is an easy fix. There’s a patch called “Stat Bar Max Length” just set that to your desired cap.

thank you i will take a look
No, it has little to do with the stat bar graphic. The stats are hardcoded to not surpass the limit of 30 due to save data limitations, from what I understand. There’s a patch called exmodular save or something like that, which modifies the save structure to allow for storing stats higher than 30. Use that.
Using the stat bar graphic patch mentioned above in conjunction with exmodular will fix every issue relating to stats above 30. Now with all that said I don’t personally know what the stats can max out at using exmodular save or its limitations, so use with caution.
If the skill system is installed, it automatically installs the exmodular patch with it. I probably should have mentioned that.
