Without a village, We can not visit the village.
Let's start by adding a village to the map of prologue.

Please select a Map Editor.

Select a village tile.
Please select the village tile 3 * 3 in the lower left.

We will set up a village.
Click on the map to set up a village.

It is installed with FEbuilderGBA's built-in Map Editor, but since FEBuilder supports map data in mar / map / tmx format, you can create it with the dedicated Map Editor software.

Let's move it for the time being

By pressing the F5 key, you can check the operation with the emulator.

A village appeared but …

The visit command is not displayed.

Why?
That is because we have not made village events yet. We have added the tiles to show that it is a village, but events will let us determine what happens when certain conditions are met. In this case, when a unit presses Visit, it should show the Visit dialogue.
Next, We will make village events.

Close the second window and return to the main screen of FEBuilderGBA.

Exit the emulator and let's return to FEBuilderGBA.
In FEBuilderGBA, please go back to the window of the main menu which is the first screen.

FEBuilderGBA opens many windows, but pressing the PAUSE / BREAK key is convenient to return to the main menu with a single touch.

To create an Event Condition, click on the place where the event label.

Open the event type pull down and select “Map object”.

Please press “Extend List” button.
Alloc the margin to create the event.

For now, please press the “Reallocate data and repoint” button.

The map object of prologue has been expanded.
We will set it to the top item.

MEMO: Village Visit / Village Destruction uses two map objects.
This time I alloced extra.
Capacity is a loss of several 10 bytes, but priority is given to easiness of understanding.

Please set the generation type to 6 (06=Visit Village).

MEMO: If the number (NumUpDown) and the pull-down do not match, the number takes precedence.
This is the rule of FEBuilderGBA general.
Be sure to confirm that the number (NumUpDown) item is the desired number.

First of all, I will create a Village Center.

Please put it as follows.

If you do not set the flag condition, it will be put in the village again and again.
In the FE GBA Trilogy, flags after 0x9 are often used for events such as village visits.

In the map, you can use flags up to 0x28 as you like.
Some flags have special meanings depending on the flags.
For details, see the item “フラグ”.

For the event, enter the Event address to execute.
For this time, enter 1 for dummy.
Actually, the Village Center is irrelevant to the village visit.
It is used indirectly for the village destruction event.
If you do not designate the Village Center, it will behave strangely as not being ruined by the village destruction event.
Conversely, it is unnecessary in the map where thieves do not cause village destruction events.
However, in the FE GBA Trilogy, it is always set, so it follows it.
In that case, putting 1 as a dummy also follows the setting in FE GBA Trilogy.

For coordinates, enter the coordinates of the Village Center.
Since it is an event of Village Center, I designate Village Center.
If you mistake the coordinates, the behavior at the village destruction event will go wrong.

Type, set the type of event.
In FE 8, Village Center event is number 20.(The number changes according to the FE series.)

After setting, write the setting with the Write Button.

Since the event of Village Center is completed, next time, we will make an event of visiting the village which is the main dish.
Please select the event object one level down.

Please input as follows.

For coordinates, please specify the coordinates of the village entrance.

Type, Please specify 10=Home.

We have created a frame of Event Condition for visiting the village.
Next, We will make an event that happens when I visit the village.

Please press the button of the new event.

You will be asked “Do you want to allocate a new event instruction area?”, So select “Yes”.

Allocated the area.

At this time, “Write” is also automatically done.

Now let's write the event in the assigned event area.
Click on “Event”, you can go to the screen to write the event script.

The event script screen opens.
Currently it is in a blank state that contains only the termination command “return”.

Double click on the screen margin.
Then the control panel opens.

Since I want to make village events, please click “Command” button.

On the “Select Instruction” screen, which event do you want?

Please select “[ZZ:BG:BG] displays the conversation of [XXXX:TEXT:TEXT]” item.
After selecting the command, use the “Select Command” button to make the decision.

By the way, even if you double-click the command you want to select, it will have the same behavior as clicking on the “Select Command” button.

The command you selected earlier was entered.
Set an argument to this command.

This time it was set as follows.

(These are those of FE8J. It is different in FE8U.)

Please Click Insert.


By the way, now, since there is only one command in a blank state, the result is the same for both change and insert.

The selected instructions are displayed in the list.

I would like to obtain items.
Double-click the margin of the screen and open the control panel.



After opening the panel, press the Command button.

Please select “Item” category.

For the instruction, select “[YYYY:UNIT:Unit] to get [XX:ITEM:item] (FFFF:Visited Character)”.

Sets what item is available.
Let's make it an expensive item.
This time, it set as follows.

Please add with “Insert” button.

The event has been completed.

Please press the “Write” button and confirm the result.

An event was written.

Let's check the operation at once.

Let's check the operation.
Please use emulator with F5 key.


This time, the visit command is displayed properly.

When you visit, the conversation you set will be displayed.

And I got Audhulma.

It is going well.

that?
It does not become Closed village?

The event worked correctly, but the village does not become closed village.
However, since we set the flag condition: 9, nothing happens even if we go to the village again.
Although there is no harm, it is not good-looking so let's be Closed village.

Why is not it a closed village?
それは、Tile Changesを設定していないためです。
That's because we have not set Tile Changes.
Next let's set Tile Changes.

To create Tile Changes, use Map Editor.

Please click the “Add Tile Changes” button on the upper side.

As you are asked “Do you want to create additional Tile Changes?”, Please click “Yes”.

“Tile Changes: 0” was made.

Currently, Tile Changes: 0 is at the point of X: 0 Y: 0.
The one We want to change is the entrance to the village, so We have to move it.

Please click “Resize” button.

Please set to “X: 6” “Y: 4” which is the entrance of the village in “Position”.
After entering the coordinates, please click the “change” button.

The change tile came to the entrance of the village.

Since we have to change to Closed village, choose Closed village from chipset.
Closed village tiles are on the lower side.

After selecting the Closed village tile, click on the entrance of the village and the Closed village tile will be applied.

Closed village can be set, so write with “ROM write” button.

Let's check the operation at once.
Let's start the emulator with the F5 key and let it operate.

Visit and get an item ・ ・ ・

It became closed village properly.

We did it.

The village event was completed perfect so far.
However, as it is a big deal, let's create a village destruction event by thieves.

To make a village destruction event, we have to make Ruins with Tile Changes.

Please click “Add Tile Changes” button of “Map Editor”.

As you are asked “Do you want to create additional Tile Changes?”, Please click “Yes”.

“Tile Changes: 1” was made.
Since it counts numbers from 0, it becomes the second Tile Changes.

Well, just like before, press the “Resize” button to adjust the position.

In “Position”, select “X = 5, Y = 2”.
This is the coordinates of the upper left of the village.

The size of Ruins is 3 * 3, but now it is 1 * 1 size, so increase “size”.
In “Size”, select “R=2 B=2”.
Increase 2 squares in the right and down direction.



After entering the number, please push the “Change” button.

It was arranged to cover the whole village.
Here we set the Ruins tile.

The Ruins tile is on the lower side.

Please select Ruins tile and install it.

When installation is completed, write the result with “ROM write”.

With this, Ruins' Tile Changes has been completed.
However, there are no thief in prologue.

So add a thief to the prologue's enemy.
Once you return to the main menu.

Double click on an enemy unit, you can go to the setting screen of that unit group.

We came to the setting screen.

We want to add thieves, so let's increase the frame.
Click the “Extended list” button.

Let's increase it with “Reallocate data and repoint”.

The list has been expanded.

It may be a little too much.
Anyway, let's set it up.

Please click the 4th person.
We will register this character as a thief.

Set as follows and register as a thief unit.

The most important thing is secondary AI.
Please set it correctly.

Write using the “Write” button.

We made too many units earlier, so let's erase it.
Please select the fifth unit.

Set “unit number” to “0”.
This is the terminal mark.
It is a mark that no further units will exist anymore.

After setting “unit number” to “0”, write with “Write” button.
With that, it means that there was no extra character.

However, as space is secured, it means that wasted space has been secured.
Even if it says waste, there are not 100 bytes.

Ruins' Tile Changes and the bandits were made.
Since the setting is completed, let's start the emulator with the F5 key and check the operation.

There are bandits that We set up earlier.

Bandits destroy the village.
The village became Ruins.

If it is not set correctly, it will not be Ruins.
If you are not making Ruins with Tile Changes.
When the coordinates of Tile Changes are misaligned.
When Village Center is not specified with Map Object of Event Condition.
If the coordinates are incorrect, it will not work properly.

I want a bandit to withdraw if it achieves his purpose, but he will not leave.
When he destroys the village, he is standing there.

This is because Escape Point is not set.
He do not know where him should leave, and there are no villages to destroy any more, so he do not know what to do and he is standing.
Next, let's create Escape Point and leave the thieves.

To create an Escape Point, use the detail menu.
Please press “Advanced Editors” button.

Select “Escape Point”.

The Escape Point screen is now displayed.

(Escape Point does not share with enemies and ally.The default is the enemy's only Escape Point.
The ally Escape Point is switched with pulldown on the upper side.)

Select “prologue”.

There is no Escape Point in prologue, so I will secure it newly.
Click the “Alloc New Space” button.

A new Escape Point was created.

Set the coordinates of Escape Point.
This time, it set as follows.

Write the result with “Write” button.

Start up the emulator with the F5 key and check the operation.

Thieves who have destroyed the village are moving towards Escape Point.

He walked further, and

When the thief arrived at the forest, he escaped.

It is as we have set up.

That concludes the explanation of village visit, village destruction, and Escape Event.
Setting is troublesome, but as you can make it, you can create a more interesting map.
Please do your best trying to make it.


In addition to Closed village, Ruins, Tile Changes is used for Empty Chest, Door, Cracked Walls, and so on.
It is also possible to generate specific Tile Changes with event script.

Please do various things, play.
