FE6 rebalance patch - Save bug

[kent_1977]

Hey, everyone! I’m using FEBuilder to make a Fire Emblem 6 rebalance, and I seem to be stuck on the first chapter, because the game freezes when I hit “save”. I reset the game, and the saved slot no longer exists and I’m prompted to start a new game.

Any thoughts?

I thought that maybe it was an event problem, but the event seems to match up just fine with the original.

Welcome to the community Kent.

Are you per chance using the Gringe translation as a base, then using the CSA_Creator_For_FE6 patch (or Magic Extends) in order to implement new magic animations?

Because that’s the most well know reason behind the ‘save freezing’ from other hacks.

If it is indeed the reason, then you can try this fix by Kemui52. I used it in my own FE6 project;

[FE6/7/8] Circles' Spell Animation Creator [UPDATED TO V1.1]

I found out recently that the CSA engine for FE6 is not compatible with the fan translation. I dug into it myself and saw that it uses its own version of CSA (FEditor?), where the code was largely the same but in a different order. Not only that, but it has two extra functions at the tail end that jump back to even more new code that takes place after the 01 Command Hack area. Unfortunately, whatever magic system is already there doesn’t fully work; it plays custom spells very slow, the screen s…

Cheers.

Thanks, mate!

And I tried what the other post said, and didn’t work. Still can’t advance.

Ah, about the CSA_Editor fix, if you indeed installed it as FEBuilder’s patch, what you have to do is go back to an earlier version that doesn’t have it, and instead install Kemui52’s fix only.

Basically instead of installing it through FEBuilder’s patch, you instead only install the fix, using the event installer (or Event Assembler).

See if that will work.

That’s how I installed it… via “Insert EA”.

I see, in that case, do you remember when did this save freezing bug started occurring?

On what edit did you made that the freezing bug began.
And if you have a backup of before the edit.

Also what FE6 translation or base are you using?
Did you install Gringe’s translation only, then began working from there for example?

How do I upload that 7z report thing, so that you could just look at it yourself?

The FE6 Localization Patch v1.2.1 from Serene’s Forest. I’m not aware specifically of this “Gringe translation”, maybe we’re talking about the same patch?

Funny enough, this is my first time actually playing/testing my game, so I have no idea where and when the error started occurring.

[anon72503772]

No problem!

So, if you already made the 7z report file, I think you need permissions to upload files first.

New User - cannot upload media

New users are not allowed to post images or message users as a spam prevention measure. So long as you make a few posts (the post you’ve just made counts), you’ll get the required permissions in about 24 hours. See the relevant paragraph of the rules below.

Like said on the post, if you aren’t able to upload files here, you should get permissions in 24 hours, or you can flag your post to ask the mods for permissions instead.

And about the FE6 Localization Patch v1.2.1, that’s indeed Gringe’s translation, so this should for sure be a case of the bug between the translation patch and CSA_Creator.

Would I be breaking rules if I were to ask you for your email so I could send you the 7z file? Or are you on Discord?

Here’s a thread with the invite link to FEUniverse’s Discord Server;

FEU Discord Server

FEU Discord Server Here’s the link to join the server. It could be handy, there could be a channel for ROMhack/fanproject stuff and a general channel for shitposting pretty much anything else to further strengthen the community (or something). It’s actually pretty active.

There, you can send the .7z report on the febuilder-help chat, so we might be able to help.
