hello, I need some help with fe editor, how do you find the strings for the editor

[Zeldaicflame]

Perhaps some more detail?

Which ROM are you talking about? FE6, FE7 or FE8?
And maybe I am just ill-informed but what exactly are strings for the editor?

Also your topic title does seem a bit demanding, but I could have interpreted it wrong if it was intended otherwise.

^LOL

yeah tell us more about what's wrong because I'm not sure what's the problem here.

eh.... For FE7 I am trying to use Fe Editor Advance to change text for my hack but when I try to find text to change like Sains "O beauteous one dialouge" but when i try to find it it says that there is no string found can you please explain?

[Zeldaicflame]

Try searching just one word, like "beauteous".

Or alternatively put 083A in the Input index box. The game text starts at somewhere around 0800 and moves in kinda chronological order.

Speaking of, what is the offset the text at the beginning of Lyn's Prologue chapter?
I like to be able to edit something myself in a hex editor before relying on programs to do it for me.
I'm also assuming the text ins't compressed in any way, please correct me if I am mistaken on that part.

[Fire Blazer]

The text is compressed. With Huffman compression.

It's an odd whim of yours to want to do something "manually" first, no offense, and while I don't think it's too beneficial, you might be able to dig up the anti-huffman patch and then edit text in a hex editor. Alternatively, make an edit with FEditor Adv (which uses the anti-huffman patch anyhow) and then search for your edited text in a hex editor (it will appear uncompressed IIRC). Then find the offset (start) of that text, search for it, and figure out whatever you want to figure out...

hello again, Im still kinda stuck in my hacking... Does anyone know/ know anyone who knows how to make new classes?

[Zeldaicflame]

It's a long, tedious, drawn out thing to do. Itinvolves changing pointers and pointer tables a rearranging space to make room.

All-in-all it's not really worth it when there are perfectly good civillian/npc slots to simply edit, rather than make a new one.

To edit one you need to make your own animation and map sprite and thats really it.

Zediac, I have already used the civilian classes, so and i still desprately need more classes, can you show me somewhere where i can get info on how to do it?
