I'm thinking Merc, as I do not have a promotion for soldier.
I'm also thinking whether to introduce the character in either guy's spot or raven's spot, but if you have a preferred spot, your welcome to choose.

I'll update the first place with spots available.

Also (forgot to mention) yes our mid-year exams are in June, this is because the seasons here are the other way around. We have a big break over Christmas and New years.

Mhm right southern hemisphere I just haven't dealt with that much so I tend to forget details like that.

EDIT: Updated my previous post with a portrait, have fun with the character, do whatever you want with him.

[Zeldaicflame]

Uhh this probably doesn't sound that good, but I either have outdated nightmar modules or don't have certain nightmare modules, but i don't have a way to directly edit his stats at level 8, only his growths and bases.

Do I need to update my modules or am I not "in the know" enough on how the math works?
Or is it that I don't edit this with nightmare or something else.

I've also attempted to recolour the lyn's battle animation as a test, but nothing happened, so I'll try again later.

[Fire Blazer]

You need to edit his stuff using the Chapter Unit Editor. Let's say the character appears in Chapter 4 (just an example), you'd open the Chapter 4 Unit Editor module.

The latest NMMs are on FES (the mainsite) so if you downloaded those you should have all the Nightmare modules you need.

[Zeldaicflame]

Well, that certainly beats finding them all induvidually. Thanks.

Also found Seph's video tutorial on battle palette editing. It was very very helpful.

EDIT: What am I doing wrong? It still won't change colours:

I open Hex editor, Search for their battle colour line with the 00's between every 4 bytes
Then I change for example 49 33 to 71 1D (light green to near white)
But Lyn's palette does not change in battle.

I will try again a bit and see what happens.

After that I will continue with the story writing.

[Fire Blazer]

^It's possible Lyn has multiple palettes, meaning you have to search again and try and find another one. If she has the same palette two or 3 times you'll have to try editing each one to find out which is right.

[Zeldaicflame]

Huzzah! It works! Thankyou.

Now onto chapter three.

EDIT: Just noticed, would that mug also happen to be Noris from tactics universe?

[Fire Blazer]

LOL dang you noticed. You must have played (or at least watched) Tactics Universe, huh? In any case, it is, but he's a minor boss so don't worry about it. And he's my portrait splice too

And I'm glad I could help with the palette thing.

[Zeldaicflame]

Yes I have played Tactics Universe. I just haven't got around to download the patch to after the Interlude, and only did just yesterday.

ALSO: I have new screens up.

[Zeldaicflame]

Well as I've been sick with a cold over the last week and a bit I haven't really done much with this hack.

Chapter 3's script has been completed, but I do not have screen shots.

With Mid-Year Exams coming up, I won't be able to do too much with the hack, however due to my curriculum I will have a little less then half my school time free (19/40 classes free) to work on the script of the hack, so it should be just about done by (I'm hoping) June 10.

*19/40 classes is just over 22 hours free, spread over 2 weeks*

[Zeldaicflame]

Well, updated again now.

All Enemy Enhancements have been done. These will need to be tested.
If you want to test now, then you can, but the story is incomplete, and I'd rather wait till later before giving anyone a copy.

EDIT: Chapter 3 completed.

Also I have begun work on Weapon Icons.
I'll post them a little later.

[Zeldaicflame]

Wow, Quadruple post, Anyway, After the Story (script) for chapters 4 and 5 are done and I run over a grammar check, I'll have a nice little alpha release for everyone.
Not that is seems anyone is overly excited about this

[Fire Blazer]

It's hard to be excited about something without much screenshots or videos or updates or releases XP

I mean I have to double and even triple post sometimes for stuff related to TU... so don't feel bad.

I'll try and play it and critique your hack if I have time, assuming it's not SUPER DIFFICULT D:

[Zeldaicflame]

It shouldn't be too difficult, after going over the enemies I thought I could've even made them stronger but I was unsure as to how strong they'd end up being.

I'll try to get some screen shots up, but i kind want to keep most of it a surprise so I don't think I'll be doing any videos.

And now I'm off to write up the story.

[Fire Blazer]

Alright. Will you let people LP your game (not that I'll be LPing it but I'm just curious)?

[Zeldaicflame]

I don't really see a problem with it. So yeah they can go for it.

[seph1212]

Or maybe I could LP it? Cause, y'know, I' more popular, and have better equipment than Blazer I wont say I'm better cause I think my commentary's terrible

Just lemme know if I can. It's always fun to see new hacks.

[Zeldaicflame]

Yep sure. Do you want a PM when I release a patch?

Side Note: Chapter 4 is now almost complete.

[Fire Blazer]

^Nice work, looks like progress is going smoothly. You almost made it past the infamous chapter 4 mark (the worst ones are chapter 2, chapter 4, and chapter 9/10, depending on whether it's FE8 or FE7).

@Seph I never said I was gonna LP it... I'm not a big youtuber like you so of course you're gonna be more popular, you LP like a dozen games... XD. You have like 3x more subscribers than me? XDD but anyway your equipment and your commentary are way better... but we are getting off-topic, keep up the good work Gold.

[Zeldaicflame]

As I'm getting closer to release I just wanna keep going till it's done. Hopefully my grammar hasn't been too bad and I have to fix lots.

Anyway, chapter 4 is complete. That means one more chapter.

I say 3-4 days for release.

EDIT: I've decided to upload the Weapon Icons I made:


I've made them up in order to break up the monotony or writing the story as writing is not my forte.
