Battle Forcast Hit-Counts Hack
BkSel Expansion
This hack enables you to get any number of hit counts to show on Battle-Forcast window.
Just include BkSelExpansion.event and you will make it.
Unit Status Rework
Expand Unit Status to 63 index
In vanilla, unit status (buff & debuffs) use a u8 byte at Unit Struct +0x30 , 4 bits for status-index, 4 bits for status-duration. In this work, we have expanded unit status index to 6 bits, which can support up to 63 different states simultaneously. Meanwhile, through a series of modifications, we successfully used the remaining 2 bits to make the status last for up to 4 turns.
Null BWL
Remove the total BWL Table entry
BWL Table, or Battle & Win & Lose table, a ram-space as large as 0x460 size that can be saved and loaded in save & suspand data.
The data has no meaning to the game experience, but it can provide a 0x460 saveable data for hackers as a free-ram-space.
Previously @StanH has worked Brif-Bwl in Skills-Lite, in this work, we completely shielded this area from all read and write operations except save-data operations, making it a free-ram-space that can store data freely.

Promotion List Expansion
Promotion Rework
update 2022.05.30: fix bugs on identify item id
Reworked on promotin routinue to allow diy on promotion list. Now you can freely decide the promotion list based on character index, class index and item index. Since this patch does not involve the item system rework, if you want to use non-promotion items to promote characters, you will also need other patches such as IER.
Just include PromotionRework.event and then you will get it. For custom usage, define your own usr-function const u8 *GetUnitPromoList(u8 charId, u8 classId, u8 itemId), I have made an example.
Map Anime Effect: Gravity
A Map Anime Effect
A DIY map anime, just like Debuff-Status-Clear-Routine.
Just include MapAnimesInstaller.event, then call for function void StartMapAnim_Gravity(struct Unit* unit, ProcPtr proc), then it will start a child blocking proc to show anime effect.
Due to the default of the program, the target character exists in the current screen, so there is no effect of moving the camera. If not, you can either move the camera over before calling the function, or delete the comment on line 41 in Gravity/Gravity.c
Replace “a” or “an” to space
Function: PrependArticleToString rework
For now, replace “a” patch is just delete the character, this patch has rewrite function void PrependArticleToString(char *str, const char *insert_str, s8 c) so that we can replace “a” to a space.
Just include “RemoveA.lyn.event” and then you will make it. Don’t forget define your own FreeSpace since this is just a c-generated file.
