ROM Hack FEFTwiddler - Fire Emblem Fates Save Editor

[Pokéfan Kieran]

I think it's because th editor refuses to acknowledge the fact that gauntlets are weapons and therefore is confused. I don't know though.

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

I wasn't able to forge them again in the editor either. Oh well, I guess the worst debuffing weapon (-2str/skl never recovering EACH TIME) isn't that good anyway

Could someone check if I'm shadowbanned?

For research.

Ok, so 99 all is out of the question then Will check now.


Might try 1/1/1/1/1/1/1


You are shadowbanned or I made a typo (unlikely)

how can i change a unit into a other unit
so how can i change a bond unit

I'm not so sure I understand what you're trying to say. Are you saying how to change a unit to a Bond Unit? The Unit ID is here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...b4WfWM-HH2TFLfNFQzsYwIDmKs/edit?usp=drive_web

I think I have a theory on why there are unbanned people with all stats mid 70s but my max was banned.

for most, I changed the bytes to about 40 (that's 64 in hexadecimal)
I think what banned ME was the fact they could be banning stats that are boosted over 50, the max number of My castle objects.

FEFTwiddler itself is just a fancy hex editor. The code's on GitHub if you want to see how it works.

That said, there's one piece of knowledge that I wouldn't have been able to figure out on my own, and that's how to compress and decompress saves. This is my first time doing a save editor as well, and I have no experience with compression-related code, so I wouldn't have been able to make heads or tails of a compressed save. Luckily, someone(s) had already figured out what compression the saves use and wrote code to handle the compression and decompression. So depending on the game you choose, this might be something to look out for. My understanding is that the Huffman compression is quite common and has been around for a while, so there's a chance that if you encounter a game that uses it, you can yank the compression/decompression right from FEFTwiddler and use it in your own program.

If you want to see how saves are handled, here are the main files to look at in FEFTwiddler's code:

https://github.com/Soaprman/FEFTwiddler/blob/master/FEFTwiddler/Model/SaveFile.cs
https://github.com/Soaprman/FEFTwiddler/blob/master/FEFTwiddler/Utils/Huffman8.cs

Thanks alot for the help, how can I tell if I need to decompress and whatnot?

I can speak for the Huffman compression that Fates uses. Probably other games use it too, though I can't guarantee that the game you're choosing does!

In this screenshot of a compressed "Chapter" save:

A decompressed "header" that the game uses to show information on the file select screen. It's 0xC0 bytes long in this screenshot. This is only in "Chapter" saves.

A single row (16 bytes) (starts at offset 0xC0) that denotes the beginning of the compressed bytes. This is split into four unsigned 32-bit integers:
* 0x434F4D50, shown as "PMOC" (backwards "COMP") in the text column. This is short for "compressed".
* 0x2, just a value that the Huffman algorithm looks at I guess? I'm no expert on it.
* The length of the decompressed bytes
* A CRC-32 checksum of the decompressed bytes

The compressed bytes (a big ol' mess of bytes with little to no discernible pattern). If the save isn't compressed, then you should see a lot more "readable" patterns and blocks of 00s here and there (stuff that doesn't tend to exist in compressed files).

If the game you're working with has compressed saves that follow this pattern, then you should be able to use the same code FEFTwiddler uses. Otherwise... it's on you to figure out what's going on!

0.13.0 is released! https://github.com/Soaprman/FEFTwiddler/releases/tag/0.13.0

Release notes:

This one's for everyone who likes deleting stuff and wishes there was an easier way to delete stuff in their Fates save.

• Add: A button to delete your units. In case the performance reviews aren't looking too good for some of your benchwarmers!
• Add: A megacheat to reset supports. In case you're having regrets about some of your A+ or S ranks! (This is untested.)
• Add: A button to empty your convoy. In case you can't be bothered to release all your animal spirits by hand!
• Add: You can now open saves by dragging them onto the window. This does not update the directory FEFTwiddler defaults to in "open file".
• Add: Changing a unit's class to the DLC Pegasus Knight class adds it to their heart seal options. (This is untested.)
• Fix: When adding materials, if a material is undiscovered (its icon is grayed out ingame), it becomes discovered.
• Fix: Changing the "equipped" checkbox in inventory view correctly updates the "Raw" field.
• Fix: Show forges correctly for NPC weapons in the convoy.

Ayyy finally a delete button, I can delete useless created recruited units

 

[oiie]

if we change the kids' hair color, does it show up changed when other people visit too? just wondering.

 

[EmblemCrossing]

Wait, did I miss something? We can have the sexy generic Wolfskin? And, to a lesser extent, the Nine Tails? Sign me the fuck up.

Mhm well I wouldn't sign you up at all, but yes if you change a unit, to a bond unit. The bond unit's portrait then changes corresponding to the class it is. However, the head model is weird

Sooo, I should go to a My Castle, recruit generic Keaton/Kaden, then turn them into bond units, then turn them into Generics? Is that what I'm getting at?

what are the hax values to neutralize Selkies hair and make mitama have the bright pink from the Xenologe?

 

[Chaos370]

changing unit's class to pegasus knight via heart seal option is not worked :'(

Is it okay to delete the original Scarlet from the Revelations route without causing any negative side effects?

I'd be careful, since she's still stored within the data and shows up during the end credits, it may cause a problem

 

[Deallocate]

Yeah, but if you have a duplicate copy of her, that data is also used. So she's shown twice during the end credits anyway.

Also, the data the end credits use is stored in the character blocks, which is lost during character deletion.

Do you have the Cipher DLC in the first place? If you don't, you need it to use that class. If you do, well, I still can't help you because I don't have the Cipher DLC myself and don't care enough to obtain it! If there's a bug with it, someone else will have to fix it or explain to me precisely what's wrong with it.

I would expect everything to work fine, and for the ending to be as if she had never been recruited to begin with. I haven't fully tested it, though, and probably never will.
