FE1 Script

Heya. Just as a bit of a heads-up, try to use the localized names whenever possible for FE1 scripts. It would help keep it consistent with the rest of the wiki and its current naming scheme, and IIRC the newest fan translations are also starting to use the localized names as well.

Reinforcement sections

Sorry to pop up again so soon, but it seems that formatting to put reinforcement headings under tabs is causing problems. Namely, when there's one under each tab, it creates a "Reinforcement" section + link in the table of contents for each one, with only one being an actual functioning link depending on which tab is currently open. I thought that this may be worth considering in the future. Xamad (talk) 14:51, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

I didn't consider the table of contents. That looks pretty bad, I'm going to change it back.Thecornerman (talk) 18:24, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Also, don't worry about "popping up;" if you feel you should, then do. Any correction is always for the best.Thecornerman (talk) 22:52, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Item template usage

Heya. This is more of a piece of advice than anything. I noticed with earlier use of this when you tried linking to tome pages like with Fire, you were including |article= into the template section. For the drop template and some others this works fine (Fire). But for the item template, the text you need to add is |link= instead. So for that example, the code would be

{{Item|snes01|Fire|link=Fire (tome)}}

Which would get you Fire. Sorry if that's caused any confusion, but I hope this clears that up for later use. Xamad (talk) 04:57, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Sprite ripping requests

I was wondering, would you be willing to take requests for sprite ripping for the Wikis? Also whats a good way to rip SNES sprites on a MacOS sierra? Emperor Hardin (talk) 05:50, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

I'm willing and able. For FE3, I used an emulator that could hide layers, SNES9x in my case, took a screenshot, and and removed all the bits that were just background black in an editor. I know that both SNES9x and ZSNES have Mac functionality, but I prefer 9x as its interface is simpler. The editor I used was Paint 3D, but I don't know of an alternative for Macs. Photosphop would probably work well, but it's likely overkill if this is what you're getting it for. The SNES's pixels are large enough to be distinct, so you just need something basic that lets you zoom in real close. Thecornerman (talk) 06:01, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

I think that functionality of SNES9x is only for the windows release, I really should just get a windows. As for the requests, I think FE3 is almost done, but we could get pictures of the enemy Merric Bishop and female mage for the unused battle sprite section. FE4 has quite a bit, Travant's battle sprite with Gungnir would be a nice start. Emperor Hardin (talk) 06:18, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

It may work for ZSNES on Mac, but the more important part is the screenshot tool, the layer control just makes part of it easier. As you requested, Merric Bishop and female Mage as enemies, and I threw in their respective map animations. I'll get around to Genealogy by the end of next week, I want to finish up some Gaiden maps. I'll be going through getting enemy notes and whatnot for FE4, so progress might not be super fast there, but it'll get done eventually. Thecornerman (talk) 16:45, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

I'll try ZSNES, Thanks. So are you taking screenshots and removing the background then? I can kinda do that, I did get many of the boss screenshots like Camus's palette. Perhaps you could do a better version of the unused dismounted enemy paladin palette, but otherwise I think thats it for FE3 unless I'm missing something. Also I know you're doing it now, but in the future do you think you could rip Tear Ring Saga: Utna Heroes Saga PS1 sprites? Emperor Hardin (talk) 17:10, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
