Hack Requests

[Nimbostratus]

Hi guys. I'm sorry if this already exists, but I searched and I didn't see it anywhere. Basically, this is a thread where programming-illiterate people like myself can share our ideas, so that others might make them happen. Be reasonable with requests, though. Don't ask anyone to make a big, ambitious project for you.

What you're describing is the "Concepts" subforum here.

People with ideas but no progress can post topics there.

[Nimbostratus]

Okay, thanks.

So here's my idea: FE8 with Hector instead of Eirika (and Wolf Beil instead of Rapier, and Armads instead of Sieglinde.) I imagine this would be hilariously game-breaking.

[Eliwan]

Eirika (Light)

Bases: 16/4/8/9/5/3/1/5 con/5 mov

Promo: 4/2/2/1/0/3/5/2 con/2 mov

Growths: 70/40/60/60/60/30/30, Swords 70 (enough to go from B to A)

Rapier: 7mt 95hit 10crit 5wt 2x eff v horse/knight

Hector (Thunder)

Bases: 19/7/4/5/3/8/0/13 con/5 mov

Promo: 3/0/2/3/0/1/5/2 con/0 mov, Swords 32 (D rank)

Growths: 90/60/45/35/30/50/25

Wolf Beil: 10mt 80hit 10crit 10wt 2x eff v horse/knight

First, this isn't hard to do at all if you only care about the gameplay you only need Nightmare and the FE8 nightmare modules, findable here: http://www.feshrine.net/hacking/nightmare.php

(if you also want the animations then there's a bit more work you have to do, but the tools for it are around: FEditor to dump the Hector Lord/Great Lord battle animations, FEditor again to insert them, and probably Nightmare to point the sword/axe animations properly.

GBAGE to rip the FE7 Lord/Great Lord map sprites, GBAGE again to insert them over Eirika's FE8 sprites, though you may have to insert them somewhere else and use nightmare to repoint due to a size different between the two animation sets.)

Second you may be surprised at how not-ridiculous Hector is.

Ah, excuse my limited knowledge of Serenes mythological and religious figures.

Oh, no, I just haven't been on Serenes that much/for that long. Mostly due to a 'spamming' warning I didn't accept for a year and a half.

I'm an FEU mythical and religious figure (check my sig)/

FE 11 Reverse Recruitment patch? Maybe? I'm waiting for FEXNA to start on my ambitious projects. I'm actually open to learning programming, but what I was going for is something even experienced programmers would shy away from doing.

Still active, just that the thread is old, and I've taken a LONNNGGG hiatus due to school.

How could Dragon Veins from Fates be coded/implemented? I really liked the concept, and I wish I could use it.

Edited May 26, 2016 by Corrobin

[47948201]

maybe something like that

[Crazycolorz5]

Well, he asked "how", not "whether". . .

To which I would respond, by making a new trap type and call it a Dragon Vein. Then add a unit menu option that checks if there's a DV Trap on your tile, and when used, it executes some event that you set in a table.

What about FE4's Holy Blood mechanic? How could it be coded, or perhaps tweaked (Giving certain skills, one for Minor blood and 2 for Major on top of Holy Weapons and growth boosting).

I'm pretty sure Pi is doing holy blood for FEIV (I could be wrong though)

[Crazycolorz5]

Just give the characters the relevant skills instead of calling it blood and doing the same effective thing.

I just don't think it's widely usable except for specifically an FE4 remake, so I won't be making it.

I'd like to see something like Sacred Contention, y'know, one-chapter long battle to the death with two casts, maybe Jugdral VS Tellius? I guess it's too much to ask.
