ROM Hack Fire Emblem DS Hacking

[Blazer]

Hey everybody, I was wondering pretty much if anybody has been hacking FEDS, aside from the translation patch. I've done a tiny bit myself, but... oh just read ahead.

Not really major hacking, but minor hacking. If you can already do basic stuff such as switch up animations, portraits, edit base stats, growths, palettes, map sprites, etc., then you might as well ignore this.

If you are like "wtf I want to hax growths and make Marth good!" or something similar, then continue reading.

-------------------------

OK, so I got bored and I decided to pick up FEDS around August 4th, and started hacking it immediately. Well I made an 'Editing Package' that just has a lot of documentation/steps to do some things, it's not really an editor. It includes

- Nightmare Editor, with a Character Module*
- NLZ77 Compression Utility
- Documentation on Multiple Things
- A few tutorials on the such for above^^

Once again, it's not really an editor...

Download FEDS Editing Package

Directions are included, and you MUST DECOMPILE YOUR ROM TO DO ANYTHING!!!

If anybody can help with the following, please do--

1. How to make a patch. UPS and IPS patchers alike don't seem to work with recompiled ROMs.
2. Class data, including class growths and base stats.
3. Event data and any possibly hope on editing graphics.
4. Text, which I'm sure the makers of the translation patch know about.
5. How to change the starting class of a character.
6. Anything else including other finds would be useful.

If you would like to contribute/add to this, just say so, because so far it's next to nothing...

Thanks to Celice, VincentASM, and DarkTwilkitri for the major crap.

Please don't flame or spam or say you hate it, because I never forced you to download.

Yeah so just curious if anybody cares for it or something, or if people are just waiting for the official American version to hack it or something. :/

This is the game that just came out or it came out recently, either way there's a translation almost done. Sorry. But good job on your editing program.

 

[Blazer]

Yeah, it did, but that doesn't mean people can't hack it, no?

Yeah, I know there is, I'm justa looking to see if anybody is interested is all, since so far nobody on other forums are, and this is one of the largest hacking communities, so...

I would love it if I could make an own german translation based on the english one (I haven't asked yet because I don'T know how to do it). I guess it's impossible with that package, yes?

 

[Blazer]

Nope, I don't know how to edit text myself, which I was hoping the translators would help with. :/
