Well, i want to make a hack ROM for FE 8, but i dunno where to start or what to do.

Any idea? I'll try to make it using nightmare.

With just nightmare you'll be fairly limited. If you want to get started I would highly suggest looking at the "ultimate tutorial"(Google FE ultimate tutorial) that our good admin blazer wrote up.

What zac said, also, I'd suggest practicing on FE7, because it's simpler and has a lot more resources.

Yeah, if you've got limited interest in coding, I'd suggest sticking to a small scale product.  Nightmare's limitations are unit placement and the like.

 

I'd suggest trying something like a self-insert or a rebalance to get used to the program first.  Rebalances and unit change mods help out quite a bit in learning how Nightmare works and lets you understand the FE system a bit better (as this will let you gain some intuitive understanding of the key statistics in the game).  A first trail might be to do something like create a new series of weapons (ex - a series of Pike weapon (Iron, Steel, Silver Pike) for the Spear weapons which have improved mounted damage.  Then play a bit to see if what you did fits into the base FE game.

I like making magic weapons and making legendary weapons unbreakable. Editing shops to get some of the unused or almost-unused weapons is a fun thing to do as well.

I like actually being able to use legendary weapons too, but unbreakable might be a wee bit OP, hahaha

 

magic weapons are pretty rad tho and were a classic like "oh man that's cool!" kinda thing early on in hacking

warning: it's outdated, and mostly applies to FE7, cuz FE7 is easier and what most people hack and the only game I am (or was) super familiar with. some of it applies to FE6/FE8, sure, but you'll be figuring out a lot of things on your own if you choose to hack either of those games...

Probably, but I don't really care, tbh. By the time you get all the legendary weapons, anyway, it's the next-to-final-chapter and after that is Creature Campaign, and I could care less about being OP in creature campaign. :P It's not like there's a ton of legendary weapons that everyone can use, anyway. Sieglinde and Siegmund are Eirika and Ephraim exclusive, and there's only one of each of the other types of weapons.

 

That being said, I do reduce the Might of said weapons in an attempt to compensate.

Yea, I would start with FE7. I have a little experience in hacking and when I started I was told the same thing. Something about there not being enough resources prepared for FE8.

I'd agree; it is characteristic of the fire emblem series to have both their characters and weapons presented in a finite way. They wear down and if they die or break, that's it. Kind of makes them more precious. You could always create a duplicate item marker for the legendary weapon and make that one unbreakable for the creature campaign.

My logic for unbreakable legendary weapons is that they're legendary. Any normal weapon would have rusted out YEEEEEEEEEARS ago, whether it was used or not.

Actually, there are fairly old antiques of weapons and armors from fairly far back that are in excellent condition because of their storage, maintenance(sometimes) and lack of use. The ones that look utterly destroyed from rust tend to be because they were found in particularly terrible conditions, like iron in the river.

 

But yeah I consider breakable legendaries pretty stupid too. Especially since their uses usually aren't actually that high either when they can be broken.


I believe in judgment of humans through their judgment of fiction, for nothing else tells better of their disposition freed from apprehension.

you both make good points, haha. I think a fair solution is for them to just have a lot of uses, but having played RD I don't really mind some being unbreakable too. Just need to consider game balance and such.

Which is why I reduce their might. May also mess with accuracy, weight or whatever, but mostly I just reduce their might. Although, post-game in FE8, might doesn't matter cuz you're hitting EVERYTHING super-effectively, anyway.

Yeah I would make sense if they made legendary weapons unlimited but they have to be use by certain characters. The main ones. Like they did in FE7 that would be a smart idea

FE7 had this horrible problem where using anything but iron weapons was a severe risk. I never actually USED the S-rank weapons in FE7 due to potential deaths. <_<

True. Some critical were ridiculously. Vaida with her Godly spear was also annoying.

True, but it's not liked the game ever told you to attack Vaida.  She was happy sitting on her corner all alone.

 

Plus, glitching the game meant YOU could have it all for yourself.

yeah stupid uber spear is op, i might have gotten it for myself once but i'm not an LTCer or anything so i generally don't like to do such things, they're kinda cheap to say the least =P

what is LTCer? Never saw that acronym before.

 

I never got said spear... Is there some sort of mine glitch that makes you able to do it?

It refers to the people who emphasize a low turn count for each playthrough to prove their strategic superiority.

 

Yes, you get it through the mine glitch, which is basically the same thing as the enemy control glitch in FE8 only you trigger it differently. (I found the latter more useful back when I was playing FE8 on my GBASP because there's no other way you're getting Myrrh to not run out of Dragonstone uses and thus becoming totally useless just leveling up.)
