  1. Hey there Aethin, I'm Ciro, the lead for Project Exile. Just wanted to say I've enjoyed your TRS translation, and I really appreciate everything you're doing for Berwick as well.

    Right now, PE is in a state where I have some free time, so if you ever need a hand with this, just let me know. Otherwise, good luck and godspeed. And by the way, don't feel bad for taking your time. A good translation takes time. To paraphrase Bruce Campbell, "a translation that's easy to make is hard to read."

  2. Hi guys, I'm the co-retranslator and script editor for the patch update, and I thought I'd let you know that I put it on hold so I could work on a proper translation for Thracia 776. I could release what we had done before I made the swap, which was the whole prologue and 2 BSFE chapters, with numerous menu/name fixes, but I'd have to get the files from Hero, who has been incommunicado for a while.

    It is mostly depend on how much money FE Heroes gets, imho.

    If the game FE Heroes is performing well, and getting money everyday, this patch will never finish.

    If the game FE Heroes is performing poorly, and get shutdown, only until then this patch may has a chance to be finished.

    The patch gets an overhaul every time FE Heroes release a new update.


    This is completely untrue, though. I don't know where you got that idea. It's true that we update things for newly-localized Heroes content, but you seem to think that's a Sisyphean endeavor when all it really means is going back and editing a few things.

  3. A major update is now available on the download page which, among other things, addresses the problem with red friendly ballisticians. Shamelessly copying from the changelog:

    - Fixed a major bug with battle animations in the FE11FCPWithGraphics variant
    - Friendly ballisticians will no longer appear red in the FE11FCPWithGraphics and FE11FCPWithSyncPatch variants
    - All patches will no longer trim ROMs and leave them at the original 64mb size to be compatible with certain emulators

    Barring further issues, this should be the last update for this patch. Famous last words, I know.

     

    Oh, and pinging for convenience - @MegaTheGamer, this update fixes the animation glitch you found. I'm glad you were able to laugh it off in the Twitch clip; I've seen much angrier reactions to glitches.

    Crashing on Prologue 4 decoy scene on Normal difficulty. Trying to see what's causing it.

    Please specify which version of the patch you're using, and provide a save file for me to test with. Also try other variants of the patch and see if they work - your save file is compatible between patches; just restart the current chapter (load the save made after the last chapter ended and before the next chapter began).

  5. I've updated the patch so that no enemies in Prologue 1 scale up, and only two of the enemies in Prologue 2 scale up - 3 and 4 have everyone scaled, but by then you'll have an army of five, a cache of vulneraries, and be in an outside map with lots of terrain to play with.

    This update also includes a fix to glitched Pegasus Knight animations in the FE11FCPWithGraphics.xdelta variant.

    I've uploaded a fixed version to RH.net, but they take a while to process updates, so you can find the fixed version here until then:

    EDIT: Update live on RH.net page

    APPLY THIS TO A CLEAN ROM; DON'T APPLY IT TO YOUR ALREADY-PATCHED ROM.

    Also, existing saves are compatible, but I would restart the current chapter you're on - load the save made after you clear one chapter and before the next starts.

    I got an error using the patch with Archs synch patch.

    [7:56:14 PM] An error has occurred: xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT

    Does this mean the Rom is invalid? Or is it something else?

    I'm unable to replicate this glitch, and judging by the error message, you're using the wrong ROM. Make sure the ROM - BEFORE you patch it, just completely unaltered - matches these values and use the linked website to check:

    Does this include the mod that adds the Online Shop items to normal gameplay?

    For those wondering, a patch that merges all of my Shadow Dragon mods will be coming shortly, and will also feature compatibility with the Sync Patch. I wanted to provide this mod as a stand-alone patch, however, for users that don't want to use all of my mods at once.

     

  8. Allows the player to always recruit Norne at the end of Prologue 4, regardless of how many units are alive. Alterations have been made to Chapters 1-3 to accomodate having her as an extra unit.

    FE11AlwaysRecruitNorne.xdelta incorporates the Prologue in Hard Modes Patch, for obvious reasons.

    FE11RecruitNorneWithGaidens.xdelta incorporates BOTH the Updated Gaiden Requirements Removal Patch AND the Prologue in Hard Modes Patch.

    USE ONLY ONE PATCH, NOT BOTH.

    This was made using the US version of FE11, so you should use an .nds file from that region.

     

    Download here

     

    Installation:

    1. If you have not already, download the Delta Patcher utility here: https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/704/

    2. Obtain an unmodified ROM of FE11. I cannot help you do this.

    3. Extract DeltaPatcherLite.exe, your unmodified .nds file of FE11, and EITHER FE11AlwaysRecruitNorne.xdelta OR FE11RecruitNorneWithGaidens.xdelta to the same folder. DO NOT USE BOTH .xdelta FILES; CHOOSE ONLY ONE. The difference is explained above.

    4. Open DeltaPatcherLite.exe.

    5. Click the "Open" button for the "Original file" box and select the unmodified .nds file of FE11.

    6. Click the "Open" button for the "XDelta patch" box and select EITHER FE11AlwaysRecruitNorne.xdelta OR FE11RecruitNorneWithGaidens.xdelta.

    7. Click the "Apply Patch" button. Users with older PCs may have to wait a few moments.

    8. Your previously unmodified file, which you selected in step 5 as the "Original file", is the patched ROM you should now use.

     

    Your original ROM's checksums should be:

    Original CRC32: 4CE55236
    Original MD5: 5B7A037DFF5A904078404922642A01E8
    Original SHA-1: 5174FBAB0C159CE247CCF133A8103B79FAE1435F

    Just don't forget to increase the number of slots in the first three chapters to accomodate for Norne - though I'm sure you have done that already, but just in case.

    I have indeed. That's actually the trickiest part, but it looks to be in a good enough state, barring a brief graphical glitch during the intro cutscene of chapter 1. I just need some final confirmation from my playtesters, and it'll be time to release it into the wild.

    The dev thread for it is here, for anyone curious:

     

     

  10. The update is now live on RH.net, so the link in the OP is once again the place to find the latest version - no further confusion with Mega links necessary, just use the link in the OP. Sorry for the delay.

    This update is compatible with existing saves, to be clear - just load a save from before any affected chapters (like one of the saves the game asks you to make after one chapter ends but before the next one begins). You'll have to patch a fresh, unmodified ROM - don't patch the one you're using now. Then just import the save file (if you're using Desmune, use File > Import Backup Memory).

    This update is only necessary if you were using the version of the patch that only unlocked the Gaidens - OnlineItemsInGame.xdelta - and IS NOT NECESSARY if you're using the version that unlocked Gaidens and unlocked the prologue in hard modes (OnlineItemsWithHardPrologue.xdelta).

    Man that's insane, you guys are just putting out more and more QoL improvements on Shadow Dragon. Ultimate version when?

    Thanks for this.

    As soon as my mod to always recruit Norne is out of betatesting, I'll be releasing that mod as a stand-alone mod - and shortly thereafter, I'll be releasing a patch that combines all of my Shadow Dragon mods together (Hard Prologue + Updated Gaiden Reqs Removal + Online Shop Items + Norne Unlock). This combined patch will also include compatibility with Arch's Sync Patch, for anyone who's interested in that.

    Testing the latest patch provided. So far things seem to be working normally. However when you say it's Norne on the map for chapter one, it's always Marth in the position that I assume is her intended spawn point.

    Marth not Norne.png

     

    That's very strange - on my computer, on all the files I've tested, Norne spawns there. Frankly, I might just have to accept this as a known issue and move on, if it doesn't cause any other adverse effects.

    So, just to confirm...

    * The spawn-point switcheroo doesn't impact anything else, as far as you can tell?

    * Norne spawns normally in chapters 2 and 3?

    * Norne's experience and inventory carry over between chapters correctly, and she does not return if she dies in an earlier chapter?

    * Starting from chapter 4, Norne can be properly adjusted using the battle preparations menu, including repositioning her, deploying/undeploying her, managing her inventory, and so on?

     

    If all of these are sorted out, as previous feedback seems to suggest, I'm ready to release this as a mod proper.

    Thanks for your continued patience with the playtesting - the mod wouldn't have come this far without you.

  12. This should be the last test build that we need, hopefully. Hard Prologue and Gaiden Reqs Removal included.

    Two things:

    * Start a new game entirely to test this one. Don't import an old save. Sorry for the inconvenience on this one.

    * Starting from Chapter 4 onward, can Norne be deployed normally from the battle preparations menu? Do her stats continue to carry over when she's deployed in this method? Does she continue to function properly?

     

    Norne should appear in her proper spawn points - of note is that in chapter 1, during the intro when all of the pirates are pillaging everything and Caeda flies to Marth's fort, Norne will already be visible on the world map. She'll function completely normally otherwise; it's just a graphical glitch resulting from converting an enemy slot to her's.

    And Norne takes this spawn point, while marth's goes to one of the cavs, who were in the bottom position in the base game iirc.
    For clarity's sake, this was done using a previously unmodified ROM, on a Normal mode start, with the Hard Prologues mod on (just so I can test those later), And Norne was recruited without sacrificing anyone besides the sacrifice (I chose cain).

    Thanks for documenting everything so thoroughly. Based on what I think is going on, I have four key questions:

     

    * What happens if Frey is chosen as the sacrifice? How does this affect the spawn points in chapter 1?

    * How does the game spawn her in chapters 2 and 3 (both in cases where Frey was the sacrifice and in cases where anyone but Frey was the sacrifice)?

    * Does Norne's inventory, level, stats, and EXP carry over properly between chapters if she survives?

    * Does Norne stay dead if she's killed in an earlier chapter?

     

    We're getting close to figuring this out. Thanks to everyone for their help.

    To clarify, Norne WAS recruitable without killing anyone besides the decoy.

    I have attached the SAV file to this post. (I also wanted to ask how difficult it was to add an additional spawn point to the chapters? I mostly am wondering because there is a method to get through the prologue without killing anyone via the Decoy or by Killing Gordin, albeit via Cheats. I was mostly curious for if I ever decided to attempt this myself as it seemed pointless since currently if you were to perform the Method Caeda disappears in Chapter 1 and only reappears if you don't pick up a character. Which would happen Chapter 2 if you skipped Wrys, or Chapter 3 since you Can't Get Castor without her.)

    Anyway I noticed no issues, and I tested a couple different difficulties and I got all the way to Chapter 4 in each run, no problems. (Though Chapter 3 definitely feels more full than I remember when you add in Norne.) I haven't tested killing her off yet and seeing how that effects subsequent maps so that'll be what I look into next.

    Norne Test Save.sav

    Excellent. Let me know how Norne appears in Chapters 1-3 if she dies during one of them - ideally, if she dies in chapter 1, she should be gone in all further chapters, as is normal game behavior.

    It's relatively simple to add a new spawn point, although you're not adding one per se - you can't increase or decrease the total number of spawn points in a chapter. Instead, a took the spawn points of no-name, generic enemies in chapters 1-3, moved their position to be adjacent to Draug's spawn point (since we see Norne is a friend of Draug), and changed them to spawn Norne instead of an enemy, with the appropriate AI flags to match. It was all done in Nightmare and the Updated Unit Disposition Editor.

    Because of this, it would be theoretically possible to make a mod that removes the need to sacrifice the decoy or kill Gordin to proceed in prologue 4; however, as I consider the sacrifice to be very narratively-important, it's not something I'd be interested in making. As I said, I just wanted Norne around because she represented the last vestiges of the absurd "death requirements" design.
