In the Supports screen? The characters in this mod don't have support conversations nor can they support anyone. And where are you getting this Chapter 16 thing from?
In every screen, they're greyed out making them unusable. Sorry, I'm just assuming I can't use them until Chapter 16 because that's the chapter when you can start summoning amiibo units.

That's really odd. o.o You should be able to use them after you have access to the Dragon's Gate.

EDIT: I'm so stupid, disregard my previous statements.

Would this work on a European copy of the game? If not, is anyone aware of anything like this that adds characters like mikoto/garon/arete for a EU game?

Guys, does this work with Citra? Is there any way we can play dlc or have the extras and amiibo characters playing with Citra at all?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Use JKSM to extract your extdata files. Find the folder on your SD card that you created with JKSM and move those extdata files you downloaded to that folder. Then use JKSM to import that extdata.

Did those steps, on JKSM however, when i click on Extra Data Options, there is an error opening ExtData! (Title may not use it). And if i run HANS, there is an invalidated icache :/

If you have any of the DLC paths downloaded, try putting a save file in the extra data slots. I can't help you much further because I haven't used JKSM to extract extdata for an EU game.

I have none of the dlc on this 3ds (have homebrew one an older ds incase i brick it, and all the dlc on a new 3dsxl). That's okay, thanks for the help :)

since you have no dlc start a chapter, begin the battle and save in battle because it saves in extdata then do KunoichiZ's steps

So, using the ExtData and FEFTwiddler method, I've added the units to my save but I notice that aspects of them don't seem to unload when they need to, for example, when someone joins you in the Hot Spring before you leave if Frederick or Chrom for example were already in there, they'd still be there when whoever shows up next.

Additionally, the Accessory Shop seems to struggle to understand how they work properly, sometimes leaving the characters present when I've switched to someone else. Although Chrom hiding in Frederick's armour is hilarious, it's difficult to see what I'm doing with say Azura or Odin beneath the two of them not having unloaded.

Also, the game can't seem to understand how to undress them for viewing the swimsuits or what have you. Chrom for example looked particularly odd with his skin occasionally patching through his clothes like they were tattered.

My only other concern is on the matter of a lack of supports but I think there was a statement of them not being done so if that's the case, I won't dwell on it.

This is because of how IS made the Cutscene only Asset IDs function (which is what everyone who doesn't change models on reclassing has).

Basically, by being a cutscene only Asset ID, the game is unable to alter their body model's appearance in any way at all, which is why the odd behavior happens.
Same with the Accessory shop, it loads every Asset IDs into memory in a different way than the game normally does, so that it can delete and load a new character by simply modifying the AID that was loaded, but because the cutscene only AIDs cannot be manipulated, the game is unable to unload them.

So could you hypothetically grant the characters a regular asset type body to match a basic unit from the game's code to fix that by copying the files from other units? Like Mercenaries for example? If only to cure the visual issues in areas like the Hot Spring (which in itself isn't particularly bad because it just seems like they enjoy the Hot Spring and wanna stick around for a bit longer) and the Accessory shop which really causes problems.

I suppose it's likely that you've tried something like that but I figure it's best to find out firsthand.

Ok, so I tried this pack with a FE Special Edition EUR (with the Extdata transfer), installed the DLC and it won't give me the Cipher characters, also the Witch calls herself "Outrealmer"; everything else looks fine (always lv1 tho?)

edit: the entire Cipher/Amiibo pack don't work

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
