ROM Hack [WIP] Paragon (Fire Emblem Fates)

[flameofstorm33]

After following all of the instructions to install Paragon in the readME, I tried to run python paragon/ui/main.py to use Paragon, and I got this error message:

"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "paragon/ui/main.py", line 5, in <module>

Does anyone know why this would be?

You probably need to upgrade Python.

But is there a reason you can't use the release builds linked to in the main post? It looks like you're trying to build Paragon which is only necessary if you're make code changes to Paragon.

No, I just hadn't realized it wasn't necessary to build it. Thank you for pointing me towards the release builds.

Edit: It seems that, in order to create a properly functioning new chapter, I need to copy the script files of the original chapter that I copied. If this is true, where can I find the Scripts folder? I can't seem to find it.

I have already edited the awakening rom to give playable characters 0% growths, the file does exist, but it has been replaced.

Hi, I'm trying to import a randomizer for Echoes but I ended up with this error on the log:

You will need to check with the author of the randomizer - this looks like an error with their outputs.

I have already edited the awakening rom to give playable characters 0% growths, the file does exist, but it has been replaced.

If the file exists the next most likely issue is that it's open in another program so Paragon cannot access it.

Recently installed Paragon and was trying to start editing Awakening but I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "paragon\core\workers\load_project_worker.py", line 71, in run

Not sure why this happened so I tried to see if Paragon would work with Fates but I just got similar results

Good Evening
I hope this is the right thread to ask this,
I want to create a custom character in FE Fates and followed Moonling's tutorials on Gamebanana. I tried building Ascended Fjorm from FE:Heroes, but as I am new to Paragon, I improvised with a new character which uses the Model and OW-Sprite of the female Berseker Class. Everything works as I wanted it to do, except the custom Portraits. In Paragon, everything looks fine to me:

After I recruited her, the Portraits are missing ingame:

At this point I don't know whether I forgot something in the process of adding her as a character, while creating the arc files or if it conflicts with the HD Textures I installed.
Do you have an idea what I've done wrong?

Thanks in advance

Edit: Im playing on a Revelation Save on Citra if that matters

Hi! I'm trying to run Paragon Alpha 14-3 on Mac, but every time I try to run the executable, it will give this message in the terminal, along with this log file. How can I get past this error?

 

[ccmonty]

So I need to install all the programs in the requirements folder if I want to run the program correct? I know its kinda a dumb question but this is my first time with any of this stuff

No, that's only if you want to build from scratch. You can download a release build here.

Been a while since I ran this version but you may need to cd into the application directory and then run main.py

Have you set up coordinates in the portraits editor? Paragon just shows the raw image, but the actual game uses the x/y coordinates and size fields to figure out what parts of the image to draw.

I actually oversaw that, thanks for the hint.
Unfortunately, setting the coordinates won't change anything.

After that, I tried to just copy everything from Charlotte, but the portrait is not there, even with the exact same coordinates and arc files from Charlotte just renamed to Fjorm.arc .

I noticed, that the arc files I added are ~10x bigger than the other arc files from the game dump. Could it be that it can't handle the bigger files or that I have to set a smaller ppi when editing the pictures?

Hi me again i got another question

if i use paragon to edit the game data of a mod will the changes the mod would have made be erased? (note im working with old paragon)

example: i download a mod that changes a class, i go into the files and give corrin a skill, i save and then replace the mods game data with the game data i just edited

They will be compatible if you use the mods files as a base for your changes.

Use the "Edit Dialogue" button from the main window and select "Join.bin.lz"

Hi, I just got into modding and was wondering if Paragon had an import option to import .json files?

Not in the rewrite yet - use an older version like https://github.com/thane98/paragon/releases/tag/Alpha-14-3

Hey all,

I'm fairly new when it comes to modding Fates. I'm running into the following error and I'm not fully sure what it means or how to fix it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I've been using Paragon to create a custom FE:A mod for my friends. I want to have the gay awakening / gender unlock mod in there as well, and have tried putting the mod data of the gender unlock mod inside the output folder of a project. I've been told that having that data in the output folder will let paragon recognize the changes but nothing has worked. Here are some photos of my output folder file structure.

I'm using the US version of awakening, as well as version A of the gender unlock mod. I am able to open the project in Paragon, but all the data that Paragon shows is from the base game, not the mod.

EDIT: I was able to load in the mod files, but after I had made an edit to the base original game, reloaded, and saved. Is it possible that the documentation for paragon on github be updated to add info on where to place mod files as well as making changes to the base game in order for paragon to read the mod files? Thank you.
