The Communal To-Do List

@Arch

Change the supply mechanics such that character 0x3A (Merlinus) doesn’t have to be loaded to make storage/battle prep shop accessible. ~@Agro

Added this. Can’t believe I hadn’t thought of it before.

@Arch

Having luck affect level ups maybe? Something like –> this thing here I don’t have a clue how balanced this is obviously, but it’s a thought. ~@Dancer_A

idk I thought of this last night in my internetless room

also

@Arch

Being able to increase/decrease stats on command. ~@AgroThe actual increase or decrease of stats shouldn’t be difficult, but making the popup telling you “defense increase” or whatnot is going to be a pain~@Crazycolorz5.Better than nothing, I guess. If anything, one can always use the brown text box or otherwise to display the same information. ~@Agro

Has this been solved already? I was trying to see if I could use this as well.

Should be relatively easy if I can find where it calcs level ups.

[CT075]

i have a routine that ups stats and shit but you should probably do the whole text box thing for yourself

@Arch

A condition to check if unit X is surrounded by other units (theoretically possible through events but not without some huge gigantic AREA event shenanigans) ~@AgroPossibly difficult, is there any knowledge on how the coordinate–>unit deployment number array is structured? I can kinda figure it out if I know certain things, but it seems to expand the map? Help, @CT075? ~@Crazycolorz5
it wouldn’t be too difficult to brute-force an algorithm, but i have no idea if there’s an existing “is square occupied” routine ~@CT075

Well the thing is, there’s a location in RAM(I can dig it up if need be) which keeps a 2-d array of map position to the unit’s deployment ID that occupies it. It’s just that it seems to have dimensions larger than that of the map, which is odd. Figuring out how its stored though would make this easy. ~@Crazycolorz5

I wouldn’t know ~@Agro
is this a 2-D array or an actual associative data structure (ie a dictionary)? Either way it would probably be a pretty trivial task to just scan it and keep a list @CT075

It appears to be an actual 2-D array. ~@Crazycolorz5

Here’s a thought: With an AREA event, we can have easy access to the unit data of whatever unit finished moving. We can keep a running array of boolean values that is updated every time a unit ends its move. Then, we can just check if that boolean array is all true. @CT075
It’s not very elegant… Also we could do a lot of other cool things if we know how it stores where the units are. ~@Crazycolorz5

I think I have this figured out – it is just a 2-D array, but it’s fairly simple if we just access it through, like, the actual pointers? Rather than trying to index it ourselves. It’s just that it seems to allocate the space in a weird way, but I think the pointers are fairly straightfoward. (Or at least, the FoW 2d array is simple and I may be misremembering the unit map… but I think it’s doable)

@Arch

Addressing this question/request about seize throne AI. ~@Arch

Totally done, or at least we know which bytes to change. [FE7] The Official AI Documentation Thread - #16

i have been done with this for months, it’s just that i wrote it with my new assembly patcher specs and i haven’t gotten around to writing the patcher

doc link

there’s a plugin for modular battle that makes use of this, and you could probably screw with the “finder_func” that exists somewhere else in that doc to finish up the event command

[Crazycolorz5]

@Arch

Being able to set/increase/decrease support level between two specified units on command.

I did this.

[Brendor]

I finished the arms scroll for FE7

[Brendor]

I made a Juna Fruit item for FE7
So…can someone test it for me?
I’m still working on it but it should work and actually print out how many levels get subtracted

here’s source if you want

Oh, I can test it. How do I add it ingame, and how do I choose how many levels to subtract?

[zahlman]

It appears to be coded to subtract a random amount (1d5) right now.

It also appears not to have a check for level requirements (unless item code does that somewhere else?), and I don’t see how it actually prints the message (although it’s clearly loading a character for the level number to some magic IRAM location)…

[CT075]

also >using swi division straight out

there are stdlib function calls or actual native div functions to use

[Brendor]

The check and print out are done separately. I figured you could use the condition for the promotion item and the game natively loads separate code to print the text when the item is used. 0x3000080 is the address the game uses to hold the ASCII value for gold so you can use the [G] command to load the prandom number. Yeah it’s kinda weird, but I can’t think of a better way to display the levels.
Suggestions are welcome if anyone has any

@Klok – do this:

pick an item to sacrifice (ideally a stat boost item)
paste [this][1] somewhere in your ROM.
go to the item’s location in the item use table and put in the new pointer
go to the item’s location in the condition table and put a pointer from one of the promotion items
in feditor, choose a text slot to sacrifice and put “[G] levels lost” there
paste [this][2] into some free space and change the 50 07 to the text ID you used
go to the item’s spot in the text table and put in the new pointer
test

[Crazycolorz5]

dynamically generate text and have a test slot in the pointer table point to a spot in ram. I’ve done it before.

[Brendor]

that sounds needlessly complicated when I just need one character to be dynamic

[Brendor]

Fuck
I’m experiencing technical difficulties. Don’t test it yet, I fucked up the code >_>

[Crazycolorz5]

@Brendor

go to the item’s location in the condition table and put a pointer from one of the promotion items

Not even, since promotion items require certain classes.

[Brendor]

word? I thought it just checked levels
well that’s not difficult to do anyway so it’s OK
The item functions just fine but I can’t get the random number to print properly >_<

[zahlman]

Come to think of it, using the [G] code is actually a good idea, because you don’t want to hard-code the corresponding text in the code. I bet there’s an actual existing number-to-string code you should be calling instead though. And I bet it null-terminates the string, which I bet is what you’re missing
