Why Bolt Axes SHOULD exist in GBA FE games

[CoronelWystan]

How did you make the axe "return" to Hawkeye? I've tried assigning spell animations to hand axes but they don't come back and the battle never ends. I think with the Nosferatu animation it works but that's just because the animation returns anyway since it's supposed to drain the enemy HP... I'd be grateful if you could tell me. Thanks

[shadowofchaos725]

@CoronelWystan You have to modify the BATTLE animation. The hand axe animation has a command to wait for the command from the SPELL animation only found on the Hand Axe "spell".

Basically, take out that command. That would mean copying an entire battle animation for every axe user... except in this case, Arch decided that the Bolt Axe be Hawkeye's personal weapon, so I only had to make one.

@shadowofchaos725 Couldn't you instead just modify the thunder spell animation to include the command? Then it would be reusable yeah? :/

[shadowofchaos725]

@Zahlman Ha ha, hey Zahllers, I don't know ASM unlike you.

[volkswagenginetta]

it does make sense to have a bolt axe and maybe a flame lance because they allready have the wind sword in fe the sacred stones

[omologo95]

You don't like that sage, do you?

[demoncry54]

what recording softwere did you use?

[shadowofchaos725]

@demoncry54 The built in VBA Recorder

[demoncry54]

@shadowofchaos725 Mine never looked that good everytime i used it and the audio always lags after a minute of recording or so. Any tips?

[shadowofchaos725]

@demoncry54 Using Virtualdub/Virtualdubmod, resync the video via the frame rate thingy with "Direct Stream Copy" then use something else to upscale it.

Or you could use vba-rerecording-19.4. They fixed the desynch issue in that.

[MultiTomahawker]

how do you hack fe games? you can't just download custom animators can you

[SheWasNot18]

you should make it so the axe still goes, but the thunder strikes when it hits the enemy.. i know hacking is hard. :l but it'd be wtfomg. !

[chargecloud]

what is the name of this bgm?

[SpammyProductions]

@chargecloud

Dark Emperor, Hardin's Theme

[WillTheWhiteWolf]

Nice!!!!

[Thekinggamelon]

We need bolt axes!!

[viikable]

nice...

[ExZeOhBeEmVee]

That was pretty cool.

I've always wanted a Legendary Trio type deal, Wind Sword, Flame Lance, Bolt Axe thing.. but somehow takes into account STR and MAG for total damage in close-range, and just MAG at long-range.

That'd probably take some extensive tinkering for the GBA series though.

[GreekDudeYiannis]

@ExZeOhBeEmVee That would be. AWESOME.

[Lakerzfanboy4]

How do u get this chapter. I never faced ephidel

[shadowofchaos725]

@Lakerzfanboy4 It's a hack by a friend. He hasn't finished making this chapter yet. Look up "Elibean/Elibian Nights" here on Youtube for stuff about it so far.

[Lakerzfanboy4]

@shadowofchaos725 oh yeah ive heard of that its like 2 chapters long...and nice to see u still on utube

[spoon980]

@shadowofchaos725 is this hack finished and is this for fe7 or 8?

[Thekinggamelon]

0:24I see a mage knight there...

[shadowofchaos725]

@Thekinggamelon Yes you do. Arch hasn't had any updates for a while though.

[ShadowWolfRising]

it almost looks like he casted the spell the way the axe is gone when the lightning strikes.

[SobmicSSBB]

Nice use of Dark Emperor in this video.

[Flamemonkey01]

So... It looks like this is a totally seperate battle animation for basically casting spells. :/

So a custom animation for the spell itself, which would only work if only one character could use it, which I suppose is true in this case.

[shadowofchaos725]

@Flamemonkey01 Arch wanted the spark, but it could also probably work by changing the "hand axe" command to a "wait for spell"... since from my experience the hand axe spell still works.

[Countertroll2]

wtf? when I made a bolt axe on gba, it just froze after the thunder animation.

[ReivajTheMercenary]

Win. :D

[darkslash96]

Objection! *Thunder*

[shadowofchaos725]

@darkslash96 lol, I thought of that too... XD

[TheODSTsoldier]

@darkslash96 so my will to dark slash i will give u a BOOT TO THE HEAD!!

[LexLight1]

@TheODSTsoldier

Generic Enemy: A what?

*Hawkeye throws a boot to the Generic Enemy*

[TheYoshiBrawler]

now make the flame lance xD

[TheLordGlenn]

@TheYoshiBrawler That's easy to do. Lances don't normally break the game when making them use magic.

[Countertroll2]

@TheYoshiBrawler i did that once lol

[Fireshrine]

lulz, good job helper monkey. I like the static thing. Keep up with the helping crap so Arch can finish his hack =P

[memmo98]

What chapter?

[alexandreH100]

That crit animation! and the bolt axe has another meaning for me because it's a great switchaxe in MH3

[megadude1892]

I like the critical animation :D

But I think it would have looked better if the axe flew like in the original animation and the lightning appeared when the axe made contact

[shadowofchaos725]

@megadude1892 That would have involved me making an entirely new spell anim >_>

Which is kind of a pain I'd really like to avoid... XD

[Fireshrine]

@shadowofchaos725 or a completely new battle animation...
