For those of you switching to Nightmare 2.0, I am in the process of correcting mistakes with the old GBA FE Nightmare modules (above), as well as adding support for taking advantage of Nightmare 2.0 exclusive features:

FE 6 Modules
FE 7 Modules
FE 8 Modules

Feel free to help me correct mistakes/add Nightmare 2.0 exclusive features to the above sets of modules. Info about progress is within each archive (if you can't find it, it's because I didn't do anything yet).

Reason for edit: Removed some inaccurate "under development" lines.

[bonestorm99]

Stealth patch should be up there, since it can double patch
and Lunar IPS can't.

[General Archibal...]

I added it to the list.

[IOS]

What about PS2/Dreamcast/Gamecube/Wii emulators?

[Blazer]

Most of them aren't good enough or significant enough to really be needed to be listed, IMO, and if we do those people could ask for emulators for all of the other ones-- I think it's good enough if we include the ones that host Fire Emblem games, for the most part, and possibly some other ones that are good and used, like the PSX and Dreamcast, leaving PS2 and all the other emulators out there to be found on google.

[Pukachi]

FE5 needs an update.

@Pukachi- Thanks, all NMM's are going to be updated very soon so it'll be helpful. Also, the quote includes minor updates. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

[Obviam]

May I ask what your changes are? I'm sure you made them that way so we could simply copy/paste your quoted text into the first post, but I'd rather not do something so wanton.

Also, the text editing suites...we've been over how dangerous they are to our hacks several times; why list them? I feel that if they are to stay on this list, a big fat warning should accompany their link such that it is accurately expressed how fraudulent they are in their implied claim to accomplish what they were intended to well (because if you ask me, I believe it is an uncontested fact that they do NOT do what they were made for well).

[Blazer]

Text editing suites is up to you two... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Almost everything I did is captilazation, spelling, punctuation, etc.; general grammar. In fact, I think it'd be safe to assume that's all I did as a whole.

[Obviam]

That would explain why I didn't notice anything.

I'm assuming that since NL was nice enough to make the AH patches bug-free that he likely uses them himself. Or more likely, my editor, as it is a much faster way of using the AH patches.

That, and I just got done explaining to Marksman that I've seen the text editing suites mess up a hack so many times that I don't consider them "safe" anymore and won't have links to dangerous "utilities" around if I can help it.

[Blazer]

I feel kind of meh with the text editing suites being the only thing in the text area; I mean, the preferred way is probably the FEditor Adv, but not everybody would auto-matically know that. This idea has some flaws, but perhaps the FEditor Adv should either be promoted a little bit more or simply included in the Text and Graphic parts as well, to signify that it can do those? Or does the fact that it has a pinned topic make and it's own category make it good enough?

Just throwing something out there, don't bite me for it. >.>

[Obviam]

That may be the case here, but in the FAQ thread, I DO have the FEditor listed under text and portrait editing.

If you don't feel that that is enough "promotion", then we can do something about it later.

In the meantime...I have class. v_V

Edit: Actually, I thought about how much more consistent and accurate it would be for the FEditor to, instead of having its own section, be grouped among the 3 categories of what it can edit (animations, text and portraits). I think it should definitely be divided in that way.

[IOS]

Most of them aren't good enough or significant enough to really be needed to be listed, IMO, and if we do those people could ask for emulators for all of the other ones-- I think it's good enough if we include the ones that host Fire Emblem games, for the most part, and possibly some other ones that are good and used, like the PSX and Dreamcast, leaving PS2 and all the other emulators out there to be found on google.

Running full speed isn't "Good" enough? Fire Emblem POR is on the Gamecube BTW.

Even Radiant Dawn runs at a fair speed:

Somewhat important updates to the first post have been made.

[Blazer]

I'm assuming that's just the Nightmare 2 update, right?

May I say that the FE7 modules need to be updated to contain like 190+ modules that Nintenlord and Arch missed? I haven't gone through FE6 and I won't go through FE8 simply because I haven't created any FE8 modules in my memory and I didn't feel like going through FE6.

http://www.feshrine.net/hacking/nightmare.html

Can be found there, here is a list of what I added (direct c/p from document):

List of Changes Made:

Capitalization
Renamed a couple of folders
Added folder "Documentation" to share doc, includes my background list (that's it so far)
Added folder "Movement Editors"
Added modules and folders of modules as listed below


List of Modules I Added--

Vulnerary Editor
Luck Cap Editor [Part 1]
Luck Cap Editor [Part 2]

*if you feel this is useless, get rid of it

Yes, that should be it for my module update... :\

[Obviam]

I'll throw those into my collection so that as I pass through it, they get updated to take advantage of 2.0.

My collection is linked in the first post along with the original modules/Nightmare application and the new Nightmare.

[Nintenlord]

May I say that the FE7 modules need to be updated to contain like 190+ modules that Nintenlord and Arch missed? I haven't gone through FE6 and I won't go through FE8 simply because I haven't created any FE8 modules in my memory and I didn't feel like going through FE6.

I can't seem to find any of your changes in the download there.

[Blazer]

-facepalm-

I have to change the link or file type or something to .RAR/.ZIP, the old is a ZIP and the new is a RAR. D:

http://www.feshrine.net/hacking/downloads/...are_Modules.rar

[Obviam]

LZMA >>>>>> LZ77, by the way.

Why are we still using things other than 7zip?
