So i used Nightmare to change Lyn's class to a Mercenary in FE7.
When you're fighting an enemy she's still a Mercenary, but all of her
colors are messed up. How can i give her "normal" colors?

I'd also like to know how to simply change a character's name of my choice,
instead of giving the character a name that already exists in the game.

Thanks a bunch

Well you see... Every character has certain colors for them. Like Lyn has green colors and stuff for her clothing and hair. And her colors were made to be used for the Lord class, so they only work for the Lyn!Lord class.

If you JUST change the class then the colors will be the same and they won't fit the new class. So you have 3 options:

1. Steal someone elses colors
2. Use default colors (like blue for allies, red for enemies, and green for NPCs)
3. Hack the colors

#1 and #2 are done by going to the character editor and where it says "Unpromoted Palette" or something change it to another person OR change it to 0x00 "Generic Default Palette" or something like that.

#3 is a bit harder and you will likely need a tutorial on how to hack a character's palette.

By the way, when I say palette I mean the colors that make up something. A battle palette is made of the colors that make say, Eliwood have red hair and a blue cape.

I hope I'm not confusing you here.

For your 2nd question, use FEditor Adv. Like everything else, a link to FEditor Advance can be found on the mainsite, but you will have to register at some other forums first. http://www.feshrine..../utilities.html

FEditor can hack text, portraits, and other things. It is really easy to use and the best text editing program for Fire Emblem.

I hope I helped! Oh, and welcome to the forums!

^In the Nightmare Modules, Character Editor module, there is a slot called "Character Name" and then some hex after that. For instance next to Eliwood in Nightmare it says 0x4DC. Type that into FEditor Advance and you go right to that text. All the other character names are after it too, so just use FEditor's scrolling option to find whatever names you want to change.

Or you can just do use the replace all option.

I know the answer for your first question. You can go to the Chapter Unit Editor, and under the Lyn selection (there can be multiple ones) you can change the set up for it, which includes inventory, level, and, AI (for Enemies). The cool thing is, you don't have to change it every level, just the first time you see a character.

Just be careful, there are two kinds of Lyns, TUTORIAL Lyn and Eli/Hector mode Lyn.

Yep, do tell if you have any more questions.

Btw, don't use the Text Editing Suite and FEditor Adv together, they just won't work. If you don't know what the Text Editing Suite is then don't worry about what i am saying now.

Shhhhh, don't confuse new hackers >_>

On rare occasion the palettes are organized the same/in a similar way so they might not look bad, but trying to guess around like that is ridiculous and I don't even consider it a method. But you are right that sometimes one palette can work for multiple classes. Sigh I really have to always watch what i am saying...lol...

Yea thats true but you cant mix like foot units palettes to a horse mounted or horse mounted to a wyvern. Those are the really funny looking ones when you do tho.
