What will SAVE hacking as a whole?

[Hatsuru]

You didnt offend, dont worry!

Though it is a shame fe7 didnt have more documentation yet. Having that 3 way campaign selector is really nice

[Squidjees]

Absolutely. Hopefully some skilled hacker emerges and makes a million patches

[Hatsuru]

So true

MILLIONS must patch

[Yasako]

oh how the turns have tabled. we didn’t even have all the fe8 eventcodes until some time in 2015

[Hatsuru]

So true Yasako so true

Its crazy how much has changed since then

@Hatsuru

FE8 has the least amount of hard coding and provides a lot more with what you can do

This applies most to the event engine. In terms of making patches, it’s mostly the same for all 3 games, except that fe8u has better documentation and more patches already made for it. When porting code to fe6/fe7, I have to manually look up addresses for functions, find some myself, figure out the ram used, find where to hook the code, and check that it all works. The time to do this adds up quickly, so most things are made exclusively for fe8u now.

If most people in the community had decided to hack fe6 or fe7 instead, then it would be the easiest one to hack.

hacking cannot be saved

Do you think there will be more documentation for specifically graphics patches? If there was a detailed guide to make graphics replacing patches, I’d commit my time to it for sure

[Vesly]

Some graphics involve TSA, which complicates things. You might find this worth reading:

Custom Menu TSA Guide and Installers

A set of Custom Menus are one of the most powerful visual upgrades you can give to your hack. However, they also have a reputation for being extremely difficult. [tsa] Having recently dived into the process myself, I’ve found that doing menus isn’t difficult, so much as the process isn’t too well documented and requires a lot of asking around. So I figured I’d write up a guide sharing what I’ve learned to make it as easy as possible. Before we begin, I’d like to thank the people who’ve actua…

But most graphics can simply be replaced by clicking import in febuilder. I’m not sure what you’re looking for in terms of additional patches related to graphics.

[Squidjees]

Mostly the intro cutscenes (Not the text, the actual images of dragons, the scouring, and the heroes) and some user interface elements in the route select screen (I’ll add screenshots to this post in a bit. I don’t have access to my PC right now)

[Vesly]

Make a separate questions thread when you do

[Alice]

Mokha made a patch for a custom Game Intro, which I made a Tutorial on as well. Though, it’s internally handled as a GIF, with individual frames (similar to a Spell animation). And if you make it too long, it can tank your ROM space.

So yeah. I agree. I WISH there was a more accessible way of making custom intros that involved moving sprites, as opposed to frames.

[Squidjees]

Sadly only available for FE8… which pretty much leaves us with almost no option to replace the FE7 intro

[herbeyj]

Those dudes that made path of radiance in GBA letting someone translate it to english

[zerorock1312]

My answer would got me banned, but “remove the existence of the eggman”

[LeskLyfeld]

dont we have Savior already as a skill

[JasonGodwin7]

B Button shortcut that reloads the Turnwheel to before the last action the player initiated.

[Retrogamer]

waiiitt he is gone? D:

[Fringus]

i will personally KILL hacking with my bare hands.

[Pkherogamingyt]

is someone not already translating it or
