What's Nichol's secondary class? Cavalier? Also, if you do end up making a Kumagera paralogue, he should totally have Monk as his secondary class, to get Countermagic on lower difficulties. :P

Looking back at it, I don't think that Nichol has a secondary class at the moment. His only option when reclassing is Wyvern Lord. I can take a look at giving him a secondary class when I get back to development on this project.

Alright, also, you could also give him a Tertiary class if you wanted. It'd help bolster what skills he can have. :P

Also I think his Personal Skill should be something OTHER than Def +2, like, maybe Opportunist. XD

I agree, as it is, Candace is the worst unit in the game, in my opinion. Also, I don't think Haitaka should be Conquest exclusive, but that's probably just me.

I guess, but hey, it'd be more aesthetically pleasing than having them randomly join your army with no in-game explanation whatsoever. :P

Also, would you consider giving a non-capturable boss their own paralogue? Like Zola or Omozu?
I had an idea for a Zola paralogue, but adding him in would require a lot more work than adding a paralogue for one of the capturable bosses. In order for a unit to join your army permanently, they need to have a block in GameData.bin. As Zola doesn't have one, I would essentially have to rip apart the file in order to make space for Zola. It's possible, but I'm not planning on attempting it at the moment.

Another thing is, for some reason, GameData enforces a Character ID order.

I once tried changing the character ID of a Bond Unit and the game would simply crash and not load, just for changing a character ID.

A slightly easier way to do that would be to have the user to have to install my dlc before playing the paralogue, but that would make this patch cfw only.

I recall dealing with something similar in event files. You had to keep event IDs in order or the map would crash during loading. It's not a particularly difficult limitation to deal with, but it can be annoying.

I considered that at one point, but I'd prefer to keep the hack open to anyone with homebrew access if possible. Truth is, I'll probably try and repoint the character table programmatically at some point. I actually repointed the chapter table in that way for this hack, so doing it for another table wouldn't be impossible. There's just a lot more to keep track of when moving the character table.

Yeah, I thought that you'd dislike the idea of restricting the map to cfw-only.

Are there perhaps any... Unused blocks in GameData.bin?
There's plenty of unused space, but that doesn't matter. The blocks inside the character table must be together - I can't simply jump to the end of the file and make a new character block. Any additional characters that we want to add must go after the previous entry. However, the space that we'd like to use for that is currently occupied, requiring us to go the long way of moving the entire table somewhere else.

    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

    Tootles? Wtf

    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
