Who Wants to Test this out?

[Naglfar94]

Hello there again it is me! Well after so long on working on my hack i figured I could atleast pass it out atleast once what I need heh is some test players as this hack is not all the way complete yet nope just a tiny bit more to go I have to fix some of the item placement so expect to see Gungnir Lances etc. in weird places Anyway you may test play this hack I mean it is pretty much almost complete I say about 95% so you can play through to the end if you like and tell me what you think. My hack will have the following heh but I won`t tell it all heh the rest is for you to find.

1.Almost everyone in your army will get a Holy weapon one way or another but to counter that as one may think oh no all those holy weapons will make the game too easy! nope heh every enemy in the game in the arena and out has been made harder expect a surprise on the final chapter...just be ready...

2.Some weapons have been slightly altered so for instance the prayer sword is now basically an armor killer.

3.Some class skills have been added mages etc. now have critical as a class skill so watch out and check every skill on all enemies!!

4.Some items you get from villages have been changed only thing I can say is use a save state before you visit because if you get a holy weapon and the unit can`t use it they are stuck with it.

5.Yuria,Altenna and Fin in the 2nd generation can now have lovers will this work? I don`t know feel free to test it I will test it myself too!

6.Some units can promote!! yes Cuan can now promote again as some FE4 players were annoyed that he was a pre promote unit so that problem is fixed he can class change again at 20. Diadora can class change too!

7.Er that is it heh like I said I am still not done with this so there will be some mess ups here and there also this is my very first hack ever!! hehe so yeah I am not 100% skilled at this stuff you know? anyway enjoy it or hate it because I made it too hard or unbalanced it was just my way of counter attacking Holy weapons and it worked haha and I figured people would want a challenge but at the same time have broken/unbalanced teams Lol so yeah the goal of this hack is to just have fun...that is it just have fun haha. Ok now let me try this dropbox thing.

This is for FE4, right? Hmph. If I was ever to figure my emulator out, I might. Tsk, tsk, though. Lots of hacks are on the GBA, bud.

Nothing wrong with using a different game as a base >_> FE4 certainly has it's charm. snes9x is a good choice of SNES emulator

more importantly, who cares

[Pixelman]

^Yeah, basically this. It doesn't really matter what game your hacking, Ninian.

Anyways, I have complaints: (I haven't played the patch yet, btw)

Why does everyone have a holy weapon? It wouldn't have any effect on the plot, and making the enemies harder would just mean that you would need to rely on the holy weapons alone. Unless you nerfed the holy weapons.

And why did you make this a skill fest? Did you at least test this out? Any skill can over power any enemy.

And why did you make this patch anyways? Was it made for a greater challenge? Was it made to make the game easier? What it made for fun? What is the point?

That's all I have to say for this matter. It still begs the question though: Why make a hack like this for FE4?

(Also, no pics, no clicks. Remember that.)

Yep this is FE4 as long as it works fine I am happy this is my first time sharing a hack so hopefully the patch works. The complete version of my hack will be released in the future. Also I used ZSNES to play mine on but it should work with others.

1.Well for the first one i gave everyone a Holy weapon to help them along a bit and well many units now have major blood so why not. Heh And no I actually increased the power of some of the Holy weapons mainly Naga and Loptous both now have 0 weight and have 10 extra might.

2.For the second one kinda both for fun and a new challenge I made this hack for I mean wouldn`t it be much more of an epic battle if some more enemies had Holy Weapons to fight yours? that is what I did here. And yes of course I have tested it out I am still playing through it I have to admit I did maybe overdo it on the prologue chapter the dancers I had set up there are a tad bit over powered for that point. But they are not impossible to defeat just gotta be careful.

3.I just had to Lol nice profile picture haha Tuxedo Mask!! I am currently reading Sailor moon manga the series is great so far! anyway thanks for the tip I am new to this hacking stuff so yeah next time I`ll post some pics of this thing so it can be seen.

I have downloaded your patch and met a problem.

I applied the patch to the original and clean rom "Fire Emblem - Seisen no Keifu (J).smc" and encountered a bug after I ran the game with ZSNES.

Is your patch for the original and clean Japanese rom in the format of SMC?Or is it for the format SFC?Or must I apply the translation patch to the rom before I apply your ips patch to my rom?

[Shin]

By changing one byte you can make Holy Weapons sellable, that should remedy getting stuck with one. Although I do question what a Holy Weapon mashup would add to the game, other than making it a little chaotic. Ninian, FE4's a perfectly suitable engine to work with, the tools aren't all there, but it's perfectly possible to hack. People like Lorena and I are kinda proof of that.

Looking at the first post, it sounds like you haven't even tested it.... may want to do that (mainly in reference to point 5)

Is this post being sarcastic or something? I really can't tell >.>

I have a feeling it was more out of ignorance to the fact people hack FE4.

Ok here is what you will need as I tested it myself today he turns out the first patch I posted was not even patched correctly this one is. Anyway what you will need is a regular JP FE4 smc. rom and lunar ips or whatever you use I am gonna guess lunar ips heh I used that too. And then patch it and done haha btw this patch is a more complete version of the first one I fixed a few things and changed them. I`ve tested every chapter so far up to halfway through chapter 7 good news is all those chapters are 100% playable some are really hard! but they are playable the hardest part is the prologue chapter I set up some bards and dancers up there and chapter 5 there are some really powerful queens there heh. Let`s just say you will have to use lure tactics on them as not even Holsety can kill them easy.

Ah!! one more thing Cuan,Ethlin & Fin can do the triangle attack and Celice,Leaf & Aless can perform it too! so use it well.

One last final thing as this hack still needs fixing on chapter 7 Ishtor has a berserk staff when he uses it he crashes the game and freezes it I guess Male Mage fighters can`t use staves so to avoid this turn battle animations off.

Thanks for your reply and I am glad to know that there is no problem with my rom.

However,I just wonder whether there is any original elements in the hack such as a new map,characters,skill,dialogue and so on.After all,there exist so many fe4 hacks that balance patch only won't become very attractive,for my money.
