It's possible, but I think my priority at this point will be making the editor compatible with these nifty expanded ROMs (and possibly adding ROM expansion itself as a feature, since it sounds pretty easy).
Then maybe portrait reading/insertion.
Hey guys,
New release: v 0.96e adds support for expanded ROMs, including the new portrait banks (assuming your ROM is expanded).
I also added a "TODO" feature that allows manual ROM expansion (would set up portrait banks, but may not do anything with them).
This also marks the first release of Destiny of an Editor that manually reads portraits out of the ROM! It was harder to figure out than I hoped, but easier than I feared. Sprites may be an "eventual" feature, but I'm not sure that's as likely a use case.
MiDKnighT: I used your Yuan Shao mod to test this feature. Is it intended for Yu Jin's portait to be mixed up (tile wise)? Xu Chu's is also kind of weird, but it's hard to tell what the problem is on his.
Interesting. I wonder how this will affect the YS mod, as I already switched Yuan Shu's portrait with DoaE II Yuan Shu and then Pang Tong's unique portrait for Cao Cao's DoaE 2 one. Maybe I'll get DA to download my rom and switch it back :) huohu .
Definitely excited to get some of those DoaE 2 portraits on the game though without having to reduce the DoaE I unique portraits. Great job as always man.

Huo Hu's Adventure started Destiny of an Emperor hackingI need to take a look at this when I get the chance. After all, Jin Xuan is too busy conquering deities to finish his mod for me! :Þ

It was probably a mistake on my part. I couldn't test/see all the portraits I added. Will check it out.

This release should be compatible with all flavors of DOAE, including expanded and already modified versions.
Guys with this new functionality you should load the portrait strips I made with feidian and have a blast with DoaEditor –> http://www.4shared.com/file/VvWxcsbu/Portraits.html
Awesome dudes. Once I get some time later tonight I'm going to do all this portrait stuff and might work on sprites too. Glad I waited on that functionality / expanding the rom.

Huo Hu's Adventure started Destiny of an Emperor hackingJust think of how many hungry orphans youve fed with this latest release…. okay maybe not, but you've definitely made us happy :) Will be sure to test it for ya
Out of curiosity, is the "expanded rom" selection for expanding your rom automatically via the UI or just to export as an expanded rom? A one stop click to expand the rom would be a cool functionality as the margin of error is pretty high atm for manual expansion, I know I've tried and still cant get it…
Quote:Guys with this new functionality you should load the portrait strips I made with feidian and have a blast with DoaEditor –> http://www.4shared.com/file/VvWxcsbu/Portraits.htmlSo the only steps we need to do now are download these portrait strips, put them in the portraits folder and then use feidian to load them into the rom?
I still have to expand the rom. Need to find the thread on doing that.
*edit – seems I can't expand the rom with WindHex. I go to 40000 and type 00's but it just continues zero-ing out the 40000 line of code. Guess I'll try Hexecute?
*edit 2 – I try Hexecute, and the 00's start to go to the next line and then it breaks and the program fails lol.

Huo Hu's Adventure started Destiny of an Emperor hackingFear not! I'm sure .96f will have a button that expands the rom for you (and adds in the other improvements).
Atma can you post some strips of the pics youve ripped from Nobunagas ambtion LOD as I am unsure of how to mass rip them from the game except for taking Screen shots and formatting each one. Save me the work of having to play to get Otani and Yukimura etc just to take a screen shot
Unfortunately, I only grabbed the one portrait because nobody else was interested in Nobunaga's Ambition. If I get less lazy — and less occupied — I'll grab some more.
But if it helps, 7EDC06 is the year change code; 54 (84) is 1560, 68 (104) is 1580, 7C (124) is 1600, 90 (144) is 1620, and A4 (164) is 1640.

It does fill it with FF (instead of 0) but ultimately, since the data isn't used until it's referenced, and it won't be referenced until you fill it with stuff, it doesn't matter :)
If it keeps zeroing out, try turning off the "overwrite" option if it has one.

I might be interested in this actually. A story like the "orochi" series would work with rom expansion or could follow the story of Nobunaga as I think of a few good betrayal moments :)
