[FE8] RE7: Port FE7 to FE8 [COMPLETE] (Needs test)

[diealot]

Thank you to you both

[diealot]

@HauntRS_0337 is this Romhack complete or is it still on going?

[HauntRS_0337]

Isn’t complete, actually in progress

[HauntRS_0337]

Hello, it’s me again. I’m still working on this, trying to create the definitive version of this, and this time, I decided to check what we’ll need to be faithful with FE7, what am I talking about? simple, something I call “FE7’s Special Effects” some of them appear as ASM in the code of FE7 so I would like if you know something about this I’ll grateful to read you.
Well, let’s start with the list I wanted was so explicit but while I was writing I had some problems with the page so I’ll try to be short (but if you want more info maybe I’ll write all super specific on Discord, or send me a DM).

• Spawn Assassin/Thief
  Check the next three options
  a) Mokha’s hack, but only have assassin spawn
  b) Teq’s Hack
  With these two options, there is a command I don’t understand SETVAL/SVAL, I don’t know how I use it in FEBuilder (even you can find some messages mine in his threads asking for this, or 2WB trying to help me but I didn’t get to understand what tried to mean) also when I install them and try to use them the game freezees
  c) MapDrawPatch, but with this I didn’t like the result

• Quintessence Gathering
  Thanks to Eebit I can add this effect to the game but for some reason stops while should continue during a conversation in specific Elbert’s Death for other events don’t have this kind of things.
  
  (later I’ll update this part of the post to show you my events and give me some feedback)

• Screen Shake Ch19E/Ch20H (after 100 commands)
  This is weird when the game reaches the shake screen command this freezes the screen, I’ve checked it, and looks like only gives the error after 100 commands in the events (I tested it in FE8 vanilla, and only gives graphic errors). Do you know something about this?

• Dragon’s Gate shows portal or dragon Ch19/20H
  
  Something simple, do you see that portal and that dragon, we need to add them but we don’t have how
  twinkling dragon
  
  Do you see that dragon is twinkling while he’s on the map, I don’t know how to get that effect

• “Goodbye” dragon Ch19/20H and Ch. Final
  
  Well we need that fire spital too, which is used here and in the end event of the final chapter

• Sonia’s and Nergal’s white light Ch26xE/28xH with alt Ch29xE/31xH
  We need this light that goes from a character and fills the screen
  
  And The alt is in an optional chapter the light goes from Nergals and ends in the Dragon’s Gate
  

• Breaking seals WM Ch27E/29H
  similar to the previous one but is in the middle of a conversation and shows
  
  the world map with that light

• Broken seal blazing sword Ch28E/30H
  
  We need those particles

• faded CG as BG (looks darker) Ch19E/20H, Ch28E/30H (“dragon” appears) and Ch. Final (three dragons appear)
  

• Sword slash Ch28E/30H

• Display dragon ch28E/30H

• Ninian’s come back to human ch28E/30H
  
  We need to show that dragon, the attack of eliwood, and the transformation of Ninian

• Thunder over map ch30E/32H
  Looks like Mokha has this solved, but again I need to use SVAL (again I don’t know how to use it in FEBuilder)

• Dragons

• Ninian’s resurrection ch.Final

• Ice Storm vs Dragons Ch.Final
  

• Candle in CG Ch.“Epilogue”
  Can you see that candle we need even that
  

“En resumen”, we need a lot of things and what we have we need improve it

With these two options, there is a command I don’t understand SETVAL/SVAL, I don’t know how I use it in FEBuilder

These are pretty straightforward to use, for example, in An Unexpected Caller for this Assassin effect, this is used:

To make the Assassin warp-in show at [7,11] coords.

Broken seal blazing sword Ch28E/30H

Use this patch:

This is ok but needs some fixes:

And here is a test I did

I promised to show my events with Eebit’s hack

and I get this result:

but the event should look like this:

@HauntRS_0337

and I get this result:

but the event should look like this:

Honestly, i think it’s fine as it is, i know you do it for the sake of accuracy to the original FE7 but at this point i think it’s a bit of a nitpick IMO

[HauntRS_0337]

I did some tricks for the final chapter, there is a longer version in Discord

[HauntRS_0337]

In these days the game will finally be completed. We are launching the last patches in Discord. After that I’ll launch the patch, but I want someone create a trailer for this project (and if possible of REX6 too), if anyone wants to help me witth that trailer send me a DM here or in Discord.

A lot of these effects could be achieved the with Draw Sprite Animation patch by Vesly. You can call specific effects from this patch via events.

Vesly's ASM / C

Draw Sprite Animation Displays an animation up to 64x64 pixels & 16 colours per frame Callable as an ASMC - simply give it map coordinates Can occur during battles (when regular animations are turned off) Also displays damage dealt during battle (with anims off) Usable for my cool AoE hack! Original art used: Spell animation spritesheets | OpenGameArt.org More Pixelated Attack/Hit Animations | OpenGameArt.org Credits: Viktor Hahn [ezgif.com-gif-maker (12)] Formatted some defaults to use,…

Heres a tip: in some emulators, you can toggle individual sprite layers (I use VBA-m). And you can use this to extract certain sprites that you can’t find in the ROM. You could use this to get the sprite for Ninian’s Ice attack, as well as other effects.

The Thief/Assassin spawn effect can also be implemented with this. The graphics for it are in the repo, I believe.

I would love to understand how the things u said work

@Alice

I didn’t see them in REPO, but yes, in the thread of it

[Alice]

It’s really easy to use. Just look at Vesly’s post. Again, it has a standalone FEBuilder patch.

You can call an event that displays an animation up to 64x64 pixels in specific coordinates on the map. And you can make your own.

I created an account just to message you all. I love what you guys are doing so far and im just curious as to where you guys are in the completion of this hack. I also seem to have an issue that i wanted to see if you could help with. I started lyn mode on hard and just completed it. When it gives me the choice of Eliwood or hector. I make my choice but it does not seem to register the map change and i cant advance the story.

[xiaoshen888]

Sorry but how can I get the game…?

Hey great

@Eclipse0

I also seem to have an issue that i wanted to see if you could help with. I started lyn mode on hard and just completed it. When it gives me the choice of Eliwood or hector. I make my choice but it does not seem to register the map change and i cant advance the story.

Did you see a screen like this?

If not, then you are using an old version of

@Eclipse0

and im just curious as to where you guys are in the completion of this hack.

@xiaoshen888

Sorry but how can I get the game…?

How do you get the finished game? Simple, right now you have to join the Discord Server, there we’re launching the latest versions, here is the link

Join the FE7 Rebuild Project Discord Server!

Maybe some of you ask, why don’t you update the patch here, in the first post?

@HauntRS_0337

Patch
Here you can get a little DEMO Version and the thing more coveted in this thread, the patch for the game. Let me remember you, you’re going to need an FE8 [USA] ROM clear.

• DEMO
• Official Release

Another simple answer, I want a trailer how I said in another post

@HauntRS_0337

also we’re fixing errors

[Eclipse0]

Oh shoot my bad, that would explain the issue. Thanks for the quick reply

[HauntRS_0337]

Hello, people; here I am one more time; today, I have a quick announcement: we’re fixing errors (not in a short time), but eventually, so I want to think we’re finally close to completing the hack. You know, if you want to help us go and join the Discord server (link in the first post)

[HauntRS_0337]

@Huichelaar

Post 100 be mine!

New patch added, Preparations Augury.

Details in OP.

Now you can have Valter bother you while you prepare for something much less important.

Thanks to the work of Huicheleaar, I made my own auguries

(What is shown is only a placeholder)

[Tanookichris]

I heard that this project is completed but I don’t see the link on the discord server regarding the patch. When is the official release gonna be ready? :o

[HauntRS_0337]

@Tanookichris

I heard that this project is completed, but I don’t see the link on the Discord server regarding the patch.

Did you check the #β-versions channel? That’s where we publish the latest patches

@Tanookichris

When is the official release gonna be ready? :o

I want to say soon, but as always, it’s hard to say, because I still have to add some things, and the people make the test, and I hope I don’t have to redo it one more time (this project has passed around two or three rewrites since 0).

causes

Summary

• We’re updating some graphics
• I just discovered how to add the auguries (I would like to learn how to add some features to that)
• and I need to add more things (you know those special effects that I talked about some time ago)
• and other little things
