[Kai Shiden]

question is it possible to stack each of these  patches on top of eachother?

[Nintenlord]

Since they effect different thing, yes.

[Blazer]

Can the graphics editor insert graphics now? If so, what file types are you sure work? Thanks.

[Nintenlord]

Can the graphics editor insert graphics now?

Yeah, though there appears to be a bug in indexed graphics...

If so, what file types are you sure work? Thanks.

BMP, PNG and GIF. I used .NET framework to uncompress the PNG's and GIF's to BMP's, so it's not dependant on my skill at all.

[Kai Shiden]

to stack we apply one patch on top of the other right?

More like apply them on the same ROM, but that's a way of saying it, too.

EDIT: In the series of funny glitches, this is the next episode:
(IMG:http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x309/Nintenlord/Humour/lol.png)
This was caused by a glitch in my NLZ-GBA Advance.

[Blazer]

Huh? What's that supposed to be?! O_O

[Nintenlord]

Lyn's tent's background. That was turned upside down and tilted.

[H3X/AntiStyle]

That's some pretty weird compressing right there. Though I did manage to recognize it...But that's probably more so because I know that's all you use to test such things.

Actually, the glitch was in BMP -> GBA conversion.

EDIT: Updated NLZ-GBA Advance. Fixed the the problem with inserting indexed graphics, added the ability to change inserting offset, removed the use of image number and added the ability to look for compressed graphics from a specific offset. It's officially better than unLZ-GBA. Comments needed, though.

[H3X/AntiStyle]

Whoo. I'll try it out next time I feel like editing any graphics. ^_^

Anyway, though various patches you made for FE7/8, do you think you could do the same for FE6? I'm specifically looking forward to No Level Reset and Attack Speed hack.

Those would be so much amazingness.


EDIT: Hrm... Where could I get the UPS Patching utility? I'd like to make use of those, but I don't have a link...

[General Archibal...]

Right here flamemonkey!

I have a suggestion for a new ASM Hack, implementing the Shove feature from FE9&10. Also you should update your stealable weapons hack so that the player cannot steal equiped weapons (it's kinda cheap as-is).

Also, I second the FE6 thing, it needs some attention too!

[felover3]

Yes fe6 needs some modules, it would amke the hacking community so much more!

[Blazer]

Well somebody start an FE6 hack and make use of what's there, I mean I've told people to hack FE6 but they usually end up going away from it...

NL, I know you're very busy, but if you could take a look at FE6 events and analyze them a little... As well as see if you can find/get some tilesets for them or something. O.o

[felover3]

^Trying, Fe6 does not like me, but I will keep trying, I always seem to run into a problem somewhere or another...

Er, Would it be possible for you to make FE6 versions of these? I'd appreciate it A LOT! Hacking FE6 is really hard, especially considering the lack of actual modules.

[H3X/AntiStyle]

I do believe I already asked that.

Oh and...please...that sig...is huge. I know it's behind a spoiler tag, but still.

[MegaDethKlok]

ROTFLOL! My massive sig is behind spoiler tags for a reason. Don't click it and it won't cause you problems. (As in slowing down your PC)

[H3X/AntiStyle]

It isn't slowing it down, it's that I'm tempted to read it all. Which is hard, because scrolling sideways is considered a bad thing in my book.


Still waiting on the FE6 Patches. I'd like to make FE6 a little more convenient.
