Hello, I am Arid and I’ve been a long time reader in this
forum. I would like to thank everybody for the useful
information that I used to create my ROM hack.
This is Fire Emblem - Sealed in Light a story based around
the popular SRPG series, using its mechanics, but having
a unique story of my own making.
This game takes place on the continent of Ceratamine in a
time of peace. 15 Years earlier one of many wars took place.
Nihil, Vandal and Marcene fought over their holy given territory
carved out by the first 3 royals. 2 Nobles will be caught in the
cycle of war when tensions arise anew. Join Silvester and Marx
on their journey to end the conflict that threaten those they love!
Features custom music, custom maps, custom portraits, skill system,
custom personal skills, weapon edits, new and edited classes!
This is a FE8 hack.
Ends on chapter 12, more coming

Decided to try the hack on a whim. It’s been ages since I did that. Screenshots would probably make it more enticing for people!
Quick thing I just noticed (more feedback coming soon): the map sprite for Silvester has weird artifact when you hover the cursor over him. I think this is an @Agro map sprite?
Notice the little bit of pixels hovering above the archer.
I think there was a glitch when inserting the map sprite. I really don’t know why, but the sprite is custom made by me so maybe that has something to do with it? Also I really Didn’t expect somebody seeing this already
Hmm. I thought it was a sprite you downloaded from the map sprite repository. So, I’m not super familiar with map sprite formatting. You can join the Discord and see if any of the FEU’ers can help you fix it! It’s a fairly small glitch, so it’s not the biggest issue
Cool, didn’t know there was a discord for this forum.
Thanks again for taking a look out of the blue.
I had this hack stewing for a while and it feels good to get
involved with the community.
I have had a similar issue with map sprites but figured out what the issue is; it has nothing to do with the sprite itself. Located with the table for moving map sprite pointer data is the map sprite’s AP (Animation Pointer, I think). If a small sprite uses an AP that allows for larger or taller map sprites, it will use [leftover] data from RAM to fill in the extra space above the sprite if that sprite does not have its own data for that section of the spritesheet(example would be the swordmaster whose sword goes above the normal limit)
To fix this, if you are using FEBuilder, in the “Moving Map Anime” module, change the “AP” to a more appropriate one. The map sprite looks to be of an archer, so you could likely just copy the archer’s and replace that (custom?) class’s AP.
Oh, I see it now. The artifact was above the archer, so I assumed it was the archer. Guess I am not paying enough attention.
Yeah, copy the cavalier’s instead.
He’s telling you to change to something other than abort. Set it to Ignore and see if it works or not. Don’t forget to apply the patch to FE8 and extract the rom from the zip file.
this looks nice arid. i’m no hacker, but i’ll certainly have fun playing! by the way, maybe you could add where the current beta ends in the OP? and update with some more screenshots as well
