Portraits in Dialog Boxes (Notes)

[Zeemis]

Maybe E7 XX relies on something. Maybe it's used online at the end of the game because of something special that allows it to run.

Just wondering if any more progress was made, or if you know if anyone else is working on it.

Projects like these interest me because I don't want the GBA port to have any advantages over the original. I want the version I'm playing to be the best

Now that I'm a little more used to handling events, seems like you will need to set this bit Whenever you want to display a portrait.

Code:

1C6 B8:6 Enables the transfer of portrait data during the epilogue

When you're done, the bit is cleared in the event.

With many months passing since the creation of this topic, have the coders of this forum learned enough to quite possible concoct a patch that can essentially add a portrait to a dialog box based upon a custom or replaced piece of op code? In example, a normal hacker who's modifying the dialog (with this patch idea applied to his rom) adds the op code for portrait and adds a 1-14 number specifying which character it is.
Essentially, it would look like this with "POR4" representing portrait 4, 4 being Edgar.

Code:

<POR4><A4>: Banon!

Hello there.

It's been almost 1 year since the last post on this topic ... I suppose there is no progress on a patch yet. Is it possible for someone to pick up this project again and work on a patch?

Thanks!!
