Not so bueno

Thanks for the quick answer. I've never heard of FEXNA but I'll give it a look. There's definitely things I want to do that might prove to be difficult such as changing up the chapter maps/winning conditions and expanding cutscenes (adding a Seth vs Valter type scene). I'm not sure any of that is possible but I do know that there are some pretty well done hacks and will probably look them up before I begin. I heard The Last Promise added voice acting and that was years ago.

Are there other engines that use a Fire Emblem-esque battle system? I've been meaning to start on a long-term project and can't decide if I'm better off using SRPG Studio or simply hacking FE7.

Just started playing a few days ago. Loving it so far.

I went through Tordo (having not played it before) with the nightmare modules and whatever they did is all over the place. Player Weapon Editor, Weapon/Staff editor, and Holy Blood Editor are 110% completely revamped. They insure the holy weapons are passed down by changing every single one of those things but as I go through each one, I can't seem to make sense of any of it (Baldo blood unlocks a charm staff, a ring has the Tyfring name/ID on it, etc). I'm not sure how the hacker(s) prevented holy weapons from popping up all over the place either since they change a holy weapon into a regular weapon. If someone who has played one of the binary hacks could shed some light on what holy weapons specifically get passed down, I'd really appreciate it.

I may look into the binary hacks and see what kind of stuff they did through nightmare. May find something useful.

So end of the day you can only pass down 4 holy weapons regardless of what you do? Maybe 3 since Altenna will take away whatever weapon is assigned Gae Bolg's ID.

Thanks. I found the culprit! In the first hour or two I was learning to hack, I messed with the army pointer editor not knowing what it was and thought I saved on a backup.

I've run into my first major glitch. Everything is peachy up until chapter 1 when Elliot's units show up. The cut-scenes are all fine, Eldigan is chatting with Lachesis but then when the screens pans out for his units to exit his castle as allied/yellow units then the game freezes and blanks out. Has anyone have had a similar experience to this and if so, what edit is likely the cause behind it? Currently, I saved right before I capture the first castle and I'm going back and forth between the game and the editor. In my game, I made Eldigan a playable unit that appears later in the game. However, I don't think it should be causing issues in chapter 1 so my suspicion is that it's something else entirely. Wow. Thanks for the heads up. I haven't played the binary mods but don't one of them feature Tiltyu and her holy weapon?

Thank you. :) Would I have to change anything at all in weapon/staff editor 1?

For holy weapons, does the game trigger events that gives you them based on the item name? I didn't see an item number I could see in the editor (or at least edit). IE I want the event that gets Levin holsety to change into another holy weapon.
