Hi feshrine!

Im a 15 year old boy who's so much interested in hacking Fire Emblem GBA games.

Somehow Im still working at it. And, i found out i suck at these things:

 

MAP MAKING:

I skimmed PrimeFusion's tutorial about making a cool map with less spamming.

but seems i really suck at it. Even I skimmed the tutorial like for three hours.

And still suck at making maps.(I use Tiled by the way.)

 

CHARACTER STATS:

I really , really ,really suck at balancing the stats.

I  want the game to be not so hard, but i want some challenge as well.

So im always confused if I set my main character's speed to 9 or stay in 6.

 

EVENTS:

Especially when it comes to map tile changes. This one took me around 5 hours just to

figure out that the code for the tile change is 

 

EventPointerTable(0x0E,TileChanges)

 

TileChanges:

TileMap(0x0E,9,4,1,1,VillageGate]

TileMapEnd

 

VillageGate:

SHORT 0x0E28

 

MESSAGE Tile changes end at offset currentOffset

 

And I was jumping up and down when i saw the village closed its gates.

 

well, for now.. These are the problems i am facing.

If someone can provide tutorials or advice. IT WOULD REALLY HELP A LOT! ! 

*BOWS DOWN*

 

And that sprite by the way is just a simple splicing i made. I know it sucks.......

Hi welcome to FES. If you want help with specific stuff, you should try posting in those sub forums, like for the mapping and splicing (which was pretty decent for a first splice), you should try the Spriting Subforum, and the Hacking/Modding Subforum for the questions on eventing. As for character stats.. I don't know talk to people in the shoutbox maybe XD

Welcome to the Shrine! I admire your ambition in jumping right into hacking. It's complex enough to spook most off for quite a while.

Your splice isn't too bad actually , pretty clean lines. I like the minimug. As for future recommendations, my biggest criticism would be to be careful of using very dark colors as your palette within the outline (that aren't already colors in the original games' mug set) because they stand out oddly against the grayish-purple outline of FE6-7. As mentioned before, if you have any questions post your work to the hacking/art subforums. You can start up a gallery/hack thread of your own and we can give you feedback if you wish .
