Hey all, this is Phanfan. I’ve been lurking for a while now, and finally decided to make an account! I have two things I wanted to share with y’all. I hope to post them soon.
The first is an assembly hack for fe6 which transfers Tequila’s “show battle stats with animations off” to FE6. I’m not sure what the standards for posting this sort of stuff is, presumably I should ask Tequila if it’s ok? I really loved this one of Tequila’s hacks in particular, and I think it’s a great qol addition to every FE game (isn’t it a shame that NONE of the mainline games have this?) I’m still testing the hack though to make sure I didn’t do anything stupid. Of course most of the work is Tequila’s, I just found the places to insert the code to work with FE6, which still took me like half a year. Assembly is pretty hard haha.
The second is a deeper dive into the secondary rn system for FE6. In particular I think I found a way to replicate the more advanced desert item tricks that FE7 has (ie you can trade and use item, then find the desert item), but it is definitely harder than the dondon/beamcrash method (reset, check a char’s stats screen, wait). In short, when the mini-portraits show up in FE6 on the desert chapter, secondary rns are burned every FRAME! I think there’s a nice way to burn them though, but one needs to learn the timing. It probably isn’t a very important technique, but I thought I should document it somewhere at least. I also noted down the first 20 or so 2RN’s so that one can know exactly how many to burn.
I don’t know if you can tell yet, but FE6 is one of my favorites! It’s probably nostalgia, it’s the first game that I played when returning to FE as an adult (I played through like 2/3 of FE7 and all of FE8 in high school). Anyway, this post is long enough, hopefully I’ll be seeing y’all soon!
