Does anyone know how to add portrait data to faces.bin? I wanted to add the custom Anna and Child portraits into the editor.
To add customs of the children and the MU, you have to edit their bald portraits (put the portraits in the same "faces" folder with all the other characters). The hair for each child/avatar will overlap with the custom portraits. I was about to do this myself with Rhajat and Nina.

Note: The portraits themselves are slightly transparent.

That's not my question. I wanted to add unique portraits used in the Hoshidan and Nohrian Festival DLC. More specifically, the Merchant and Kimono portraits so it wouldn't break the script.

Could somebody please help me? I followed the instructions on how to set up this program, but no image displays, as well as no sound either.

If this is meant for actually adding unique portraits to the editor, I forget - but my workaround is to use a unit as a placeholder, then once the support is finished copy/paste it into google docs and replace the placeholder unit's name to the name of the unit you want to appear.

Example: I had Henry as a character in my Fates file, but not in the conversation editor, so I'd use Jakob as a placeholder unit and go back and replace his name when finished with the support.

I made a new language folder for Awakening and changed PID.txt to adjust such things as エメリナ to Emelina instead of Emmeryn and the like, but now images won't show up in the preview and it seems to break the preview formatting in general...

I also hope this won't change the coding when re-compiling it into a CIA, as I intend for this to be a patch over the Japanese version of the game.

Earlier in the thread there was a suggestion to edit faces.bin in order to add new characters, so I thought I might need to de-translate that from English to Japanese, but I have no idea how to edit that file.

Can anyone offer any assistance or guidance?

I have the resources set up as resources > global > bin, img, sound, text and the conversation simulator is invisible, as is the My Unit customizer. What am I doing wrong?
All the voice clips and BGM work fine.

EDIT: Fixed! The folders need to be resources > awakening > bin, img, sound, text.

Hi, I was going to make FE14 Custom supports (i.e MU with Tarba) in the European version of the game. I already edited the GameData.bin using @thane98 's FE Support Maker, and then recompressed it using @Moonling 's fork of FEAT. The conversation editor works fine, but when I put them in-game, the supports don't show up. I already put my «GameData.bin.lz» in the romfs > GameData folder, and the supports in romfs > GameData > m >@U.

Also, when looking at vanilla supports, the supports with MU have either a «PCM1» or «PCF1» after the name depending on gender and the support name in the TXT files is not «username», but the MU's Japanese name, so maybe that's what's causing it?
Here's the pic of the vanilla support w/Shiro.

And for comparison, this is a custom support w/Kotaro.

NB: I used Luma Locale Switcher since I have a US 3DS and a EUR Fates CIA, so the DLC will work. Is that the root of the problem?


UPDATE 18/12/2021: IF YOU'RE USING LUMA LOCALE SWITCHER, SET IT TO YOUR ACTUAL REGION, IT'S BECAUSE REGION EMULATING DOESN'T WORK FOR CUSTOM SUPPORTS!
(NB: You won't be able to play DLC chapters. Because of region-lockout.)

May I have assistance in adding supports to my awakening game? Unassuming Venusaur already put in the support, I just want to implement a conversation that was written for it but not put into the game as of now. I am using Citra to play. I have already dumped the romfs folder through citra once I loaded it

EDIT: Ok, I placed it in my load/mods folder and it played in game, but another problem happened. :(

Problem 2: The text box is a completely different design and the text is all the way too far left or right. In the B support, they didn't show up at all. A support was a little bit better, the the different design box was there and the text was messed up. Not sure what happened. Help?

EDIT 2: Aaaaand I solved my problem because I did not add (TYPE: ONE) under formatted script. My bad.

I'm genuinely sorry if this was mentioned somewhere and I missed it or it's obvious and I just didn't realize it for some reason, but how do I get Kana to show up without having M or F in the name box?
This is the script I'm using just to try and get it:
[FORMATTED SCRIPT]
(TYPE: ONE)
(ENTER LEFT: Kamui)
(ENTER RIGHT: Kana F)
Kana F: Words.

Just putting "Kana: words" doesn't work, the only way I've been able to get the character to light up and have the name box on the correct side is by putting "Kana F: words" and then the "F" is in the box too.

I tried to access the voiceline and music filepacks via the GitLab link, but apparently they're no longer available - where else could I find them?

    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!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
