The source for an FE8 Archipelago prototype. Currently intended to be used with ColorzCore to build the pre-randomized ROM.
At the moment, checks are rewarded for:
- Clearing a chapter.
- Receiving a Sacred Twin regalia in a cutscene.
The rewards themselves are:
- Progressive level cap (unpromoted level 10 -> promoted level 20, counts by 5s)
- Progressive weapon level
- A Sacred Twin weapon.
To make the Sacred Twin weapons more impactful, there is also an optional "Super Demon King" mode which buffs the final boss to take less damage from non-Sacred Twin weapons.
- Soon: Chestsanity
- Soon: Supportsanity
- Maybe soon: Death Link
- Not soon: Free roam chapter mode
No. See my branch of the main Archipelago repo.
See HACKING.md.
- For units above the progressive level cap, EXP will display normally despite
being capped. This is display-only; such units are correctly prevented from
gaining EXP.
- Overflow EXP that a unit gains from below the level cap to above it is not properly truncated. This may lead to a unit being level 20 with 11 EXP.
- Receiving items on the world map doesn't work yet.
- Units can be dropped on impassable terrain. This is a bug resulting from a fix that allows units to move one tile in any direction if the game judges them to be "stuck". This serves two purposes, first to reduce the chance that cutscene pathfinding will crash the game, and second to prevent softlocks if a mandatory enemy spawns in an inaccessible area (this is most commonly encountered with the chapter 2 brigands). There are a few different ideas for fixes outlined for this in HACKING.md if anyone is interested, but it is a low priority for me at the moment.
- Seth's weapon can change between his fight with Valter and the actual start of the Prologue.
- There are a few instances of a boss's cutscene class differing from their gameplay class.
- Custom unit palettes are planned, but will not be available for a while.
- Move
