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.

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.
Change Weapon During Target-Select
TargetSelect Proc Rework
A interesting rework on SelectTargetProc so that we can change weapon during target-selection.
Now Up & Down botton will change the target, meanwhile Left & Right button could make you change another weapon to attack. If you don’t have any other weapons to attack current target, then the Left & Right will function as vanilla to try change target.
- Note
This patch does not considering Weapon-Range Rework! If you have already worked on Weapon Range such as apply ProperRangeGetter or WeaponRangeRework, you need rewrite the following functions in the fileSrc/NewTargetSelect.c: IsItemCoveringRange and GetItemReachBits.
Unit Debuff Banim Flashing Rework
DIY your own flashing effect for debuff
A patch that allows you to customize the debuff flashing effect on unit during battle.
Download Here
Usage:
Include file EfxStatusUnitRework.event and define your own debuff flashing effect in EfxUnitDebuffPalConfigTable, which you may define the flash R/G/B color and the flashing speed.
The R/G/B effect is recommended ranging from 0 to 0x10, the higher value may result in a more pronounced flashing.
The speed range from 0 to 3, in which 0 will not change the color, 1 is the slow speed, 2 is the vanilla, and 3 may flash fast.
This patch is not conflict to any existing patch since the unit debuff index is not directly caught from unit struct, so don’t worry.

No wait after trade
PreAction hack
Unit may not wait after trade with unit nor supply.

This taken action is saved in gBmSt + 0x3D, and may casue wait during pre-action handler PlayerPhase_PrepareAction. This patch hacked such function and handle on actions before that handler in modular.
