When attempting to open my edited rom with feditor, I get the error message: "There was an error processing one or more file streams."

 

Changes I have made to the rom:

Inserted several new portraits. All used only FE7 colors and were 16 colors or less.
Inserted a female cavalier animation.(This was done by increasing the max index in the class animation manager, then setting up the animation pointer in HxD.)

Edited multiple text entries.

Inserted two new maps, the pointers for both of which are located at the end of the rom rather than in any of the known free space areas.

Created new events for the prologue and chapter one.

Edited the stats of several characters and items in nightmare, as well as the growth rates of these characters. 

 

Any idea what to do? I'd hate to just scrap the rom now.

hmm, that's a weird error, so it's not letting you open it at all, just breaking? It's possible that you broke the animation table when "setting up the animation pointer" but without knowing what you did I can't really know. if there's a way to undo that change it might help, though undoing stuff like the portraits wouldn't be that easy. do you have back-ups? should always be taking back-ups in case something like this happens.

 

the other things I'd be careful about are expanding and events. did you delete or edit any data when expanding? (maybe accidentally?) how much did you expand? As far as I know FEditor Adv likes to add bits to the end of the ROM and your ROM can't be bigger than 32MB if you want it to work. so when you expand it's best to do it bit by bit, instead of all at once, at least IMO.

 

I don't think it's the Nightmare stuff, and if the portraits inserted fine it's probably not that. same with the cavalier animation and the text entries. I feel like it'd be something where you had more control of the ROM.

 

You could try adding a little bit of extra free space to the end so that FEditor Adv can't find the data it normally puts at the end of the ROM, and try and load that, but I wouldn't say it has a high chance of fixing it.

 

If you don't get any leads from any of this stuff and don't have back-ups, there's probably not much to be done because the error is pretty vague (it seems more like a generic Java error or something), but you could try asking somewhere else maybe.

 

Sorry and good luck~

I have been making back-ups, but the last one was made after whatever caused this. I wasn't aware that there was an error with Feditor so I went ahead and replaced the previous backup. This has been resolved actually; I added some free space to the end of the rom and now it's working fine. Thank you.
