ROM Hack [Release] Fire Editor - Fire Emblem: Awakening's save editor

[Olmectron]

Fire Editor is a web app for viewing and editing save files of FE: Awakening and FE Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Progress is being done to add FE: Fates compatibility.

It currently can edit only hair colors and names, and duplicate, delete and share units online. This was updated as of June 15th 2019 GMT-5 Currently this doesn't work with Japanese files, only use European and American saves. The files you need to open are Chapter files with no extension, exported from your game by using a save tool. I recommend Checkpoint for this purpose.

The web app is found in the following URL. An offline version for Windows (64 bits) will be shared in the near future.

Latest update: June 15th, 2019 v0.6-b

Latest version: v0.6-b (it should appear in the upper-left corner of the screen, if you have an older version, just click "Update app" in the app drawer/menu). After a long year break, I've got some new and exciting features:

• Added FE:Echoes - Shadows of Valentia compatibility.
• Fixed some issues where people would get a corrupted save file after just adding units or changing hair color.
• You can now (optionally) create an account via username and password so you may manage your uploaded units (edit, delete, update, etc).
• Added a basic inventory editor for Awakening. FE:Echoes currently can only edit characters stats and classes.

Latest update: April 6th, 2018 v0.5.1-b

Latest version: v0.5.1-b (it should appear in the upper-left corner of the screen, if you have an older version, just click "Update app" in the app drawer/menu). New features:

• Improved loading and filtering of Public Units.
• Added editing of units' class.

Latest update: October 13th, 2017 v0.4.12-b

Latest version: v0.4.12-b (it should appear in the upper-left corner of the screen, if you have an older version, just click "Update app" in the app drawer/menu).

Please report any issue you may have. And use Chrome, I haven't been able to fix issues with other browsers. I'll get on it after finishing the important features. Also, this only works on EUR and USA saves for now. Sorry, JPN players.

What's new? Basic editing features still missing (HP, stats, etc). But I got something still good (I hope) for this update:

• Added an icon button with three dots to each unit. It's in the upper-right corner of each of them, click it for seeing several new actions.
• Now you can duplicate and delete units completely safe! No more items being wiped out, nor any strange glitches because of adding or removing.
• Added public anonymous sharing function. You can share it easily, and download others' as easy as clicking the download button on the upper-right corner of the units in the "Public units" section. (Note: Sorry, the only data viewable is still only the name and portraits, I'm working hard on showing everything from the unit, so you can decide better whether you like the shared unit or not).

Note: While it's completely safe to clone and delete units right now, it's possible to share corrupted units for normal gameplay (modified manually through hex, or using custom roms with new IDs not present in the standard version of the game), so if you download a shared unit and got a crash in your game, please consider deleting them and testing again if the game still crashes, before posting your issue here.

Update: July 4th, 2017

I strongly recommend to use latest Chrome browser for opening this app. Sorry, Firefox users.

Would you help me testing, please? Please report any issues you find in this thread or in the discord: https://discord.gg/ZqtwepC

• Click on the rectangle color to the left of the unit's name to edit the unit's hair color!
• Click on the floppy disc icon button for downloading the edited file, ready for importing back to your 3DS.

Thanks to @Mrperson0 for supporting this since the start. He gave a lot of help in making this!
Thanks to @ShadowMario3 for releasing his 100% perfect Global save file, it has helped, and will help a lot to complete the development of this editor.

Good job by the way.

Thank you! I'm not that far either. There's only the option to have full stock in the convoy right now.

I hope to improve it more in the following weeks, implement the compress and decompressing directly in the app and maybe exporting to a native .exe file for Windows users. However, as long as Java is not a problem for many people, I think it would be better to keep going with it, since Linux is already "supported" as well as could work on MacOS (cannot test on that one, since I don't have a Mac).

I've got pretty much the same functionality as you except it mine de/compresses on the fly. Also it's CLI based because I'm not super familiar with GUI programming. I haven't exactly figured how to locate the items for each save so I user inputted values to calibrate the offset. Its written Python so it should run on we every platform. I'm probably going to scrap it at this point and move on to a new project.

I hope to know about your next project soon!

Anyway, you could continue with this one, being different languages, it would be nice for people to get different options.

Oh, sorry. Forgot to say it's for the NA version. You can restore your original save (the one before you decompressed) and it should work again.

Please continue, we need more features and European support

 

[ultimatetemper]

Do you need it decrypted or encrypted?

Hi, thanks. What save manager are you using? If it's Save Data Filer, Save Data Manager, or sdvt, just send me the folder you get with the Chapter, Global and Map files.

Thank you. Now I just need someone for testing (not having an European copy right now), do you think you could help me with that?

I don't know.
I have the European rom, what do you need?

 

[shahanshah]

I could help as well, I have a European digital copy from the eShop

 

[Olmectron]

I don't know.

I'll start working with the European save today. I just want you to try future builds of the FireEditor, when I've added European support, and more features. I think I'll have the next build by Saturday.

 

[olshrimpeyes]

Please continue, we need more features and European support

As of right now I'm continuing it, but it will be at least month before I have any sort of release ready. I have least 5-6 things I want to have finished and 1 of them I'm not entirely sure how to accomplish.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also I've got EUR, NA, JPN support already.

Currently anticipating a simple character editor so you can change characters into any class. I want to edit some spotpass-characters, but that doesn't seem doable at all, currently.

 

[cokacommando]

Hey, the edits aren't working, I use the one with Ninjhax 2.1 latest boot.3dsx and all that good stuff...any idea why? should I send my save in?

Please send it. Thanks. If possible, the originals (right after being dumped) and the modified ones (after using the tool).
