Could some one help me with the portrait editing for FE 7?

The guides I see use un-lz gba or whatever, but it's not working for me.
Every time I load a portrait, when I go to write it to the file, it says that
the picture to insert is too big, even if I haven't made any changes.


Would someone be able to help me out with this? As soon as this issue is resolved, I'll have a hack ready for its first release.

Try this utility:Tile Layer Pro

OK, there is a new program called FEditor Adv, it's very useful in fact and can be downloaded below, open it, open your ROM, open Portrait Editor using the top menu, and then you have to make the portrait in the format it shows. Once you have the image, insert it using the "insert" button, hit "update", exit the portrait editor, go to File-Save and save it, and then try it out, if you do it correctly you should have a portrait, check out the editor's documents for more help.

Um, help, you're not being very clear.

Cox: I looked at the tutorial, and I don't understand the re-pointing bit.


Blazer: When I open the program (assuming you're talking about the file labeled "Execute FE 7") , Command prompt loads, some text scrolls, and it gives me some kind of error. Could you be a little more clear on what to do, and any requirements for it?

[cox21]

Basically, repointing means putting the portrait somewhere else. One way is to make the rom bigger with windhex. And I get the same problem with that thing Administrator Blazer gave us.

[skyfox500]

I know how to expand the rom, what I don't is how to just create a new spot for the portrait, and have the game recognize it

[cox21]

You, know, you really shouldn't be asking a noob for help. Anyway, repoint to any offset which is blank.

[skyfox500]

how can I tell which offsets are blank, and if they exist?

[Fire Blazer]

you have to insert he portrait at one of the blank offsets, once you do that use Ace's portrait modules to change the main portrait pointer to the NEW main portrait pointer

Better yet, try re-installing java, restarting your computer, and contacting Zeld (AIM=hectorofchad) for help on running that program.

Ace's portrait modules can also be found somewhere on that forum^^

I figured it out. Ignore the error message and click around at the top.

[cox21]

Unzip it, and open up any of the batch files, load up your rom, ignore the error message, and click around at the top to find what you're looking for.

PS This utility is very useful if you want to hack character names. I am going to write a tutorial on it.

.7z isn't the filename extension. The file is a winrar archive.

[Ristau]

Just Figured that out It means 7 zip but now what do I do I really don't get your tutorial at all...

[cox21]

Are you trying to do something with the script, portraits or text?

[Ristau]

[cox21]

Portraits are kind of hard, but for the game script you'll have to dump it first. Also, you should use this for text, it's better than parser and nearly as good as anti-huffman.
