Making Fire Emblem Romhacks: Custom Classes 

A massive FYI for people who don’t see a Data Expansion option in the class list. Go to settings (top left of the simple menu with the file, run, and tools), click options in the dropdown, and then go to the Function 2 tab. There should be a Expansion Button section where you can then toggle Class Expansion from Not Displayed to Displayed. There’s a few more options too, like toggling the Chapter Expansion button, the expanding FE8 World Map nodes and paths buttons, and the expanding song table button. Those enable those options in the respective menus of FEBuilder, and are all for when you want to add more of those specific things into the rom than there are in the game, like wanting more maps or songs/sounds than what is in the vanilla rom.

For people not in the know, the 'bug' Mangs references at the

I would have appreciated this two weeks ago, when I ventured into animations for the first time. Had to learn most of these lessons via trial and error, lol. Keep them coming, my man - I'm looking forward to the more complex stuff.

This is a cool series. FE Builder is already generally very intuitive and easy to use, but a proper tutorial series could serve to help people just getting into hacking so they don't have to rely upon trial-and-error or a veteran's aid to get started. Good work, Mangs. Hope this series continues onwards into something great!

I love this series. I was really struggling with FEBuilder.

Handaxes have their own animations due to them having the same attack anim both at range and at melee, which makes them different from swords and lances, which have unique animations for range and melee respectively. And since "2 range axe" is not a weapon class, you need to set them up individually

Yes, another tutorial!!! Been waiting for this!! 🐲🙏💕💕💕

Yeah, finally! This new series is giving me inspiration to try to make one or two hacks, and I still need a lot to learn.

thanks for the series i needed this

I've been dying to get more info on this rom hack stuff. Your tutorials are incredibly helpful.

Keep these series up Mangs we appreciate you a ton

This series is excellent, Mangs. Keep it up!

Thank you very much, I had already seen several tutorials but nobody had explained it to me as well as you, it was very easy to understand even knowing that my mother tongue is Spanish and I saw the video with subtitles.

Mangs I'm literally fuming at my mouth, all this time I was under impression that class allocation could not be safely expanded so I was jumping through hoops trying to fit my custom classes and in the end put my project on hold. Those videos you are making here are critical for solo self taught hacking wannabiers like me, who do not have access to the network of established experienced creators to guide them. Wish this was released like 2 years ago though, I figured most of this by myself through trial and error aside from blunders like the one I mentioned above.

Thank you for giving us proper explanations and tutorials. I can‘t solve everything with trial and error…

Thank you. I still want to try to make my own rom hack and this will help a good bit for some class ideas lol

So helpful can't wait for more you are a legend in the community Mangs keep it up

Love these videos! So useful when building roms, could you possibly do one on cutscenes and supports next? Thank you!
