v1.0 Released - Available For Download
With this, all of the important changes were finally implemented, and I now consider it complete!
I’ll still keep a lookout for any possible reports of glitches that might need to be fixed.
Here’s the full list of final changes, again all done and ready to play on the OP links:
-
Full FE8-Style Portraits (by Eldritch Abomination), w/fix for generic soldier frames.
-
Casual Mode Implemented: Based on Mkol’s FE7 Plus Hack, a new option will appear at the start of either Eliwood or Hector Mode to activate it for that save file. While it also had the option on Lyn Mode in FE7 Plus, there were reports that, if you do activate it in Lyn Mode, then you cannot change it in Eliwood/Hector Mode (and vice-versa). Even then, Lyn Mode already has a semi-casual mode where units that get defeated there still appear back on Eliwood/Hector’s, hence why I implemented it only on the main modes.
-
Fixed Growths Implemented: Works as a separate patch, the one with the [FG] tag at the end of the file name. More information on how the patch works here.
-
In Search of Truth: Cleave Bow drop fixed to appear in both Eliwood and Hector Modes.
-
Imprisoner of Magic: New Holyspike tome added as droppable, appears on all modes.
-
Several enemy generics had their class changed to some of the new classes (e.g. Myrmidons to Vandals, Soldiers to Militias, Archers to Hunters, etc).
-
Fixed some enemy mages in Lyn Mode having slightly higher Defense than normal.
-
The Dread Isle: Besides Florina, Eliwood can now also talk with Fiora to recruit her.
-
Battle Preparations: Besides Bartre, Karel can now also talk with Karla to recruit her, without the unscripted fight (Hector Mode+10/5 Bartre is still needed to make Karla appear, but once she does AND you got Karel, you can have him talk first with her instead).
Finally, to get Hector Mode’s A Glimpse in Time (Ch.19xx), you still need to both level up Nils in Lyn Mode and defeat Kishuna in the chapter before, but the requirements are easier:
- Nils’ level experience requirement now reduced from 7 to 5.
- Kishuna’s Magic Seal class has -2 less base Speed and Defense.
And that’s everything, do let me know anything else you might need to know!
Something else in regards to what was asked before; if I’ll immediately make a new hack/project with this one as base, I actually don’t have any plans to do it, again I’ll simply keep a lookout for any new reports of possible bugs or glitches that might appear and I’ll need to fix.
If anyone likes this hack and wishes to start a new project using this one as a base (full hacks, reskins, PMEs, etc), feel free to do so! Since it was created to not only play well by itself, but also to have all of the implemented classes/weapons/etc available for use.
So as a more official writing, I fully allow anyone to start a new project using this one as base.
Feel free to DM me. Or simply create your new topic, no worries! By all means take it easy.
Enjoy FE7:TLH!
