I'd really like to have the offset in NLZ GBA, or GBA Graphics editor. If ANYONE has it, PLEASE, let me know what is is.

Anyway you're awesome. Also, someone on SerenesForest was looking for this very same information.

Yeah. He's been making these amazing weapon icons for me as well. I think I've posted them, but if not I'll add it onto my hack topic.

Ace, did you have that info down already or just refind it? XP |
I just refound it. Just did a little quick debugging. Didn't take too long.

Just posting it here so I don't forget...
And this is the image I got from Ace's info:
This is the image I'm gonna have to match up to with your template Trent ._.
Thank goodness for the grid function ._.
I'm really wondering how this is gonna work ._.
Yeah, and slight problem... I forgot about that limitation on the middle of the screen...
I'm gonna have to cut off your little circles ._.
I moved it down a bit:
But I still run into a little problem:
I don't know how to "tile up" the first one if it's like that, and not a rectangle shape ._. (Since the room that's given is only exactly what it was on how far up the original "HIT, DMG, and CRIT box" had...

There needs to be an easier way to do this. |
We could just code a program to change around tiles so the first tile gets 10 generic tiles before it, and that everything else get thrown a tile back since that image is a tile less on the sides what it should have been. And a small thing I am forgetting, I am sure. XD
Again, beyond my skills as a programmer, but for someone like Xeld or Nintenlord a couple of hours and it would be done.
Oh, and Seth, can you tell Mr. Glenn your image is technically incomplete?
You guys don't have those bits on the sides. The lower bit is used for promotions(The battle frame's lower side goes to the center, with a different tile for the right-top-most tile, and with the border there). The name also has those things in FE8, but I honestly wonder why, since the model in FE7 didn't and it never appeared. You could leave your model like that if you wanted, but it wouldn't look as good in promotions.(And something tells me that finishing your model would just require paint's circle tool. XD)

Oh, and while we're kind of on that subject, is the inner tiling on the towers going to carry through, or will it fill it differently? (And, furthermore, I take it that the name box areas can be manipulated in much greater degrees compared to everything else (ex. hanging moss or vines that drop down from the box)?)
@Ryrumeli - Blame the game and the sprite rippers. The GBA games display in 240x160 in the window. Every rip of a template has been in those dimensions, with none of the side areas on them. (Likely because the side areas are merely a formality (i.e. blank) for the when the template moves on hits.) As such, the image was sprited in 240x160. And, that's something that Trent could easily add himself before insertion. By keeping it at 240x160, I can get a feel for what the template will look like 99.5% of the time that it's seen.
Hopefully the final FE4R template.

I created the technique Rey used, I would know how that works. XD
And yep, the filling does carry. And about customization, pretty much everything in blue background in the diagram I posted can be changed around, if you respect the limit for...50 or something different tiles? But the shape can be changed freely, as long as it falls in the blue background, and doesn't fall into the void of the black.
And about ripping, I know, rare are those rippers which take things out of the system with more advanced techniques. Can't blame them, but we end up skipping some details like that one. Again, no biggie, it is easy to solve.
So I will say this, don't get disheartened. If you have patience, you can do like I did and pretty much replace like all menu graphics in FEs. TSAs have peculiarities, so it takes patience. Just don't let small bumps dishearten you, and your hack will have looks enough to bewitch all crowds. :3

Heh, I wish it could just happen... XD

Seriously? That's a shame. Ace did that work for nothing. XD
Random note: the topic title should be changed to be more appropriate. "I have a question" in caps letters is you know... not very informative, since I could probably guess you have a question if you just put the word(s) "How to" or "help". Point is, please change it to something like "Battle Template Help".

Well, I'm not completely surprised by this outcome, but I am a bit disheartened. Barring a magical TSA hack like Blazer suggested (and, let me say that I think it would be a wonderful idea, because new graphics are a large part of what can make hacks truly spectacular), I guess I'll have to shelve this design as a personal spriting template and change up the design for the version to be inserted. |
TBH I'm not too knowledgeable about image mapping (I really only know how to manipulate the basics) but the reason why we can't just use a 240x160 image with TSA meant for a 240x160 image is because of memory, I think--it'd be nice if Ryru could confirm this since he seems the most knowledgeable. That being said someone would have to reallocate parts of the memory or make use of some free memory (if there is any--I doubt it) or maybe even make the map data be loaded straight from the ROM (if that is possible). Such actions require the expertise of someone like Xeld--it'd probably be difficult even for Nintenlord, although I'm confident if he tried he could do it.
The battle screen in your sig is awesome, by the way. Makes the FEDS one look like crap. Part of it is the awesome snow effect, weapon icons, and battle sprites though. XP
Last comment, I'd like to share my opinion, because it's fun.
Although graphics are awesome, I think gameplay/level design/plot (non-graphical elements) are ultimately more important. Chrono Trigger DS was a great port even though it had the same not-so-great graphics. Shadow Dragon DS had totally updated and refreshing graphics (as opposed to NES) but it didn't turn out so well. That being said, if games only consisted of two halves--graphics and gameplay design--the game with exceptional graphics and decent gameplay would get a B- IMO, and the one with exceptional gameplay and decent graphics would get a B, and one with both would get an A. In my gradebook, anyway. Add in some epic music and you get an A+. XD

I'll likely still use this version as my own personal template for just doing sprites and, once I think of a design that fits the template, then I'll sprite it and get it ready to be inserted. (I guess I wasn't too clear about that in my previous post.)
Hopefully the final FE4R template.

See the group of tiles there? Wanna know how many tiles you are limited to? Then count all the tiles which are used for the battle frames. 5th row on, I think. And about the third tile in the 7th tile. And all the other ones which are actually separate pictures(They are all different tiles, even if they look exactly the same like they do in FE6 and 7.) That is the limit.
We would need to change things around in the memory to make sure we could have more tiles in the memory, before using them. And unfortunately, I can't tell you if the blank space underneath it isn't used anytime during a battle. ...in fact, I think it is used for magics or attacks or something like that, not sure however. >__<
But yeah, the hack wouldn't be just a TSA one. It would be an ASM one. ...not exactly hard, afar as I have heard, but a bit nasty to do nonetheless for common people like myself. XD
And I see now, glad you're not willing to give up on this theme, it is quite good.
EDIT: Oh, and I forgot, I talked about memory limits for tiles. >__< There is actually something else to do to make the black parts usable, but it involves ASM as well. It is something like making an object or something, so we can fill it with tiles. But then again, I only heard of it roughly on GBATek, no way I can inform you more than this. Sorry again. >__<
