@Cam That's exactly what I tried to tell them! But yeah I can see that being a problem. I think I'll leave the utility patches to you for now! @Jubby Hahaha! I'd love to help, but I'd really rather get to grips with it on my own first before worrying about getting involved with other peoples projects. Maybe some other time!

Honestly I can't come up with anything I want to implement with a custom ASM routine yet! Not that I'm saying I'd have no problem doing it or anything... I suppose I should familiarise myself with the basic tools first etc. The main problem is just getting my head around how ROMs work at a basic level. I should probably stop trying to learn everything at once and just concentrate on one thing at a time. I got bored a while ago tried my hand at splicing... It wasn't exactly pretty! Also, try programming from scratch in straight ARM on paper by hand under time pressure. Fun times! Thanks for the help/comments/encouragement. I'll probably be back in a while with more questions!

That patch is exactly what I was looking for, thanks! The fix for FEditor worked, but to be honest I have no idea what I just did so I'll have to go read up on that as well as a GBAGE tutorial. Thanks for your help Jubby. And giving up? Pfft, I've got nothing better to do this summer and I gotta do some coding to keep in practice!

Well I'm new here, so hi and all that! I'm having a go at putting together my own hack, starting this summer, which is going fairly well so far, considering... But on to business, I've got 3 questions I'd like some help with here. 1: FEditor Adv. I cannot seem to get anything here to work. For example, I want to change the objective text in the prologue for "Seize the ger" to "Seize the ship" (my hack may or may not heavily feature pirates). So I run the run.bat file, select my FE7 ROM (that runs fine beforehand!) , select text editor, go to 65D I think it was, and change the text, then apply. And save after. This causes the ROM to freeze and make a constant beeping sound whenever it tries to display the text. This even happens when I delete the text and replace it with the exact same text! I remember reading something here about saving being wierd, but I've tried just about every combo of saving before/after etc. This may sound ridiculous, but can anyone take me through the exact sequence of button presses needed here? 2: About prologue things, I get the feeling it would be a lot easier to avoid a mess if I could rig the game to start at 11H instead of Prologue, but I can't for the life of me work out how. So that supports will work, and I get the feeling something horrible will happen after chapter 10 if I try to just cram everything into Lyn mode. I've tried repointing things in Nightmare but it doesn't seem to do much. This is also because I'd prefer to have Hector as the lord, since he's most like my half-assed plan for a lord! I know I could bundle the patch with a .sav file and just tell people to play HNM, but that doesn't seem very professional! 3: Importing map animations. I've been messing around with Leila in order to have a female thief. I've got Thief(F) promoting to assassin so far, and I'd like to have her Thief(F) class with the Thief(F) animation from FE6. Of course then I'll have to work out how to make an Assassin(F) battle animation, but that's a problem for way down the line! In short, how does one import Thief(F) map animation from FE6 to FE7? And get the class to use it since Nightmare only seems to change the standing frames? One other little thing, I've noticed people here going on about how horrible event hacking and ASM are here, but so far I prefer it to Nightmare and FEditor. (totally nothing to with spending a year doing ARM in college) I'm guessing I haven't gotten to the hard part yet! So thank you to anybody who decides to help me out here, maybe some day I'll actually release a hack for you to play!
