ROM Hack [Research] FE: SOV Save Discussion

[Ghostlander]

I'll give you an example of what I'm doing.

I use HxD.
When I ctrl+F, I specify the search as "hex-values," search direction: "All" and search "C9 24 DD 07 51 16 47 AB"

Not sure if that helps

I'm using the same program. I'll try it like that and see if he comes up. I'm trying to make him lvl 20 so I can promote him to a DLC class without getting all the extra stats from leveling to 20.

How similarly is the convoy structured to that of other 3DSFE games? I'd like to think a convoy editor would be pretty easy, but the whole two of them at once thing may complicate things...

Is it possible to swap characters models in this game? I used to do this with awakening and Fates thanks to NTR CFW plugin layeredfs.plg from gay hacks but sadly i don't know how to Create/find a layeredfs.plg for this game.

If possible could you tell me how do you make a layeredfs.plg for NTR CFW so i can swap models and textures?

I would definitely love to be able to swap some NPC models and portraits in. It will happen eventually as both past 3ds FE games have had massive support for custom dlc, save editors and the like. But I wish itd all come sooner.

Also. If there's currently a way to make a unit have Nuibaba model and or portrait is definitely like to know.

I am not able to edit, someone could post an already edited save with amiibos to help me.

Does anyone happen to have a Sonya character block?

Hey so I've looked up several of the character IDs provided on that spreadsheet using the "hex values" and "all" options in HxD, and it comes up with nothing every time. Using Chapter 1 data. So...what's the problem here?

Did you decompress the Chapter1 file?

I use the Fire Emblem Save Tool (FEST).
You drag Chapter1 onto FEST and then it should decompress the file for you.
You edit whatever you want using HxD, then you drag the edited file back onto FEST.
Then you have your new Chapter1 file.

FEST is just a bunch of files not an .exe how do I run it? Python? Cmd?

You probably downloaded the source

I'm getting really confused here. I found atlas based on the spreadsheet, but my rows are not the same as the example given, the character ID code starts later and ends up on the next line. And I'm using the 16 row just like in the example.

Furthermore, It was suggested to change the XP in Atlas' line to 0x0A, but in the example there's only 2 character spaces for the XP section of a character, and this is 4, how am I supposed to do that?

Here's an image of what's supposed to be the Atlas character code http://imgur.com/a/mxpH4

Hey used that XP replacer hex and it did nothing. The character changed classes properly, but did not gain the level he was supposed to. I dont know what hex value would change his lvl to 20

 

[cercity]

I have the character blocks for both base Sonya and Deen if anyone want's to recruit the missed unit.

I've tested Sonya but not Deen.

@Koko-Kun is this worth adding to the OP?

I fixed it. I just changed the level hex instead.


Now my issue is stats. I want to lower the defense it gave me. It was way too much. So I'm trying to see if anyone knows the stat hexes yet

 

[turttheturtle]

would it be possible to change a normal mode save to a hard mode save?

Yeah I'm hoping for a layeredfs.plg release in the future so i can make a female archer model, i could do it easily with HANS but that would eat a lot of my microsd memory so i'd prefer NTR CFW.

Thank you to everyone that contributed to the spreadsheet, tons of great info there. Here are a couple I found messing around with my save that are currently missing.

0xCFB60FC9E5D7749D = Emperor Lance
0x8B7B9ED9F9B53741 = Speed Ring

UPDATE ON HEXES

Changing a Character to a DLC class straight up makes them into an unknown class and the games says your DLC is corrupted, even though it is not.

 

[Koko-Kun]

UPDATE ON HEXES

The very first time I altered the hexes in the game, I changed Atlas to a lvl 20 Baron in order to use the DLC to make him a Spartan. It worked.

However, Every attempt to change anything after this, has resulted in NO changes. I've tried lowering some of Atlas' stats, and Changing Luthier's class to a Spartan.
Neither of these things change the in-game stats or class, despite the hexes still being the altered ones.

I'm extremely confused about why this is happening and could use some assistance.

Now, the OP provided a hex guide image, so I'm assuming it shouldnt be wrong, especially after my first successful attempt. Im wondering then, why altering an entire stat block for a character changes NOTHING in-game. I was going to chalk up Luthier's unchanged class to the DLC classes working differently but, in combination with the stats not changing on a different character, I'm assuming the root lies somewhere else.


And yes I've followed the exact correct steps to implement the changes.

The bytes that manipulate the stats aren't the base stats in the save file. They're just the boosts. If you want to change the stats of the class so it's the same as the previous class, you're going to have to romhack the dlc classes's stat modifiers (I can't help you on that). You can just change the stats to 0 if you want and just add the amount that you desire in your save. Now I have no idea what you're doing to cause the "NOTHING", but here's the explanation.

I updated it. THe stat changing is working on a second save in-game, but swapping to a DLC class gives you an issue and makes the character class 'unkown'

So you essentially have to go the long way around by changing their lvl to 20, then upgrade to dlc class, then change their stats back.
