Functional Umaro Patch

[madsiur]

True, but if you modify an event within the bounds of that event, you ensure compatibility. Using free space introduces the danger of patch conflicts.

One of the job of a ROM hacker is to manage free space and patch conflicts. If you can fit in the same event additional code it's good, but that require often a sacrifice, sometime not noticeable but sometimes noticeable. I don't see any downside with using free space if you provide the proper documentation. The problem is then on the patches that provide none.
