Hi. I need help with something. It's for getting children.
-I tried patching the "All Paralogues Unlocked Patch" (ParaloguesGameData.ips), by decompressing the "GameData.bin.lz" file through BatchLZ77, used Lunar to install the patch, compressed it through BatchLz77, and then renamed the file to “GameData.bin.lz” (it failed)

-I then tried decompressing the file through FEAT, used Lunar to patch, and then compressed it through BatchLZ77 and renamed the file to GameData.bin.lz (it failed again)

-I then lastly used FEAT again to decompress, Lunar to patch, and then used a program called "Puyo" to compress the file (I chose LZ11 as the compression format) and then lastly renamed it again to GameData.bin.lz (and surprise, it failed again).

Is there something I’ve been doing wrong through this process? I’ve followed the steps very carefully as best as I could. Could it be how I decompress/compress files, or could it be how I've used Lunar? When using it, I always chose “Apply IPS patch” and not “create IPS patch”. As for the check boxes, I left “create a log file” unchecked and had “Register file type” checked. If anyone can please help me find what I did wrong, I’d appreciate it. Thank you.

If you tell me what mods you want on the GameData, I can patch it and send the patched GameData to you.

Really? Well thank you! I really appreciate it! The only mod I really want right now is the "all paralogues unlocked" one so my units can have kids (will the data you patch for me work for all three routes? I mostly want it for Revelation, but would like it for all of them). I would ask for the Felicia and Jakob switch one as well, but I heard that one needs to be patched differently (which is why I'm currently trying to figure out how to apply it. I'm still new to this stuff. lol )

You don't have to do anything special for the Felicia/Jakob switch patch. Install it like you would the Gay Fates hack, like I told you before. It's not that hard. If you have other questions regarding that hack, PM me.

Do you want Flora Early, Felicia/Jakob Switch, and All Paralogues?

Sure! Although I originally wanted just the all paralogues one, if you can give me both the Flora early and Felicia/Jakob Switch as well, I'll take those too.

I actually found out how to do the Felicia/Jakob switch yesterday (I know, it took me that long to do something SO simple -_-), but unfortunately something went wrong when I started the game. The info is right here.

Hopefully I figure out what happens. For now though, since you're offering to give me both the Flora early and Felicia/Jakob Switch, I'll take them.

I have Birthright as a cartridge and Conquest and Revelation as DLC...How can I have the patch apply to all the games?

Sorry for the late reply, here's the file with just all paralogues:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lBYjKDsGIKPNdAuvsO773U4Wa6spyfRp/view?usp=sharing

Hey! It's fine. Thanks for getting back to me. So I tried your file with Revelation and unfortunately I go the same results again: no children. I've tested it several times with Azura. First time was her and F!Corrin, but no Shigure or Kana. I then tried her and Felicia, but no Shigure. I'm starting to wonder if it's either
(A) Something on my SD Card
(B) Me starting a new game through "Branch of Fate" instead of choosing "New Game",
(C) Me using Luma (although I know a few others who've had the "all paralogues unlocked" patch work when they used luma). Or,
(D) Me playing Revelation as a DLC add-on to my Birthright cartridge (KunoichiZ suggested to play FE Fates digitally through a CIA file in order to make the DLC work, but that was for the Felicia/Jakob switch)

I'm wondering why it's not working at all. Does it work for you? If so, are you playing it on either a cia file or a Special Edition Cartridge? I could send you all the files I have on my SD card to see what I have/shouldn't need in order for the patch to work. Otherwise, I'm not sure what else to do. :(

It's a combination of C and D. You can't patch the DLC paths with Luma, which is why I recommended you get the Special Edition (cia or cart) and use it from now on. If you're wanting to do anything with the other paths, you NEED the Special Edition as it does work with all of the paths in that version specifically.

Update: You're right. Thank you. The reason I was using the cartridge for the last few days was because I needed to wait and get a bigger micro SD card in order to install the CIA. Now that I've installed it, it's working well so far. If I run into a problem though, I'll let you know. Thank you for helping so far. Appreciate it.

Hey! If you got a minute, I've got a question for you. I have the SE CIA and no matter what I did, when I tried the all paralogues patch myself, I couldn't get it to work. I'd either have a full crash when starting the game, or it would act like I didn't even have the hack installed at all.

I ended up using your download there (THANK YOU BTW). But what I want to know is this: If LIPS has to patch a decompressed GameData file, does it need to be repatched? I don't know for sure but I wonder if my BatchLZ77 was on the wrong setting or something. I'm trying to troubleshoot it so I can do it in the future on my own.

Yes, you have to re-compress it into a .bin.lz file. Don't use BatchLZ77, it doesn't work for GameData files. See my other post on this:

Then what about this tutorial, also by DeathChaos, that mentions and uses BatchLZ77 on GameData.bin.lz? I've used BatchLZ77 multiple times on GameData.bin.lz with the SSM.

If it doesn't work *anymore* that might make sense, since from....version .5.0 or so, I couldn't get hex editing for kids to work (reliably). It's why I switched to All Paralogues method at all.

Yes, you have to re-compress it into a .bin.lz file. Don't use BatchLZ77, it doesn't work for GameData files. See my other post on this:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/fire-em...arriage-patch-wip.416109/page-96#post-7749191

I'll look into it for sure. All I wanted was Flora early & All Paralogues

I don't know. I used to use BatchLZ77 as well, but recently it hasn't been working. It just crashes when I try to compress anything.
I found I had to use the menu, not the drag and drop, for it to work at all. Even then, it compresses the file but either 1: causes total system crash upon boot of FEF or 2: does nothing and acts as though I'm using a non-hacked GameData file. It's super weird!

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone would be kind enough to give a step by step method on how I can edit the character models to do this. I just want Xander, Leon and Camilla to use their unique models as a Hero, Sorceror and Berserker respectively. Additionally, how do I edit the game so that Yato and all its variants have a special ranged animation like Raijinto and Siegfried?
