Rationale

I write a lot of hobby projects in C++. I work on Linux, but most of the end users of my tools waill be Windows users, so this necessitates setting up methods for producing windows binaries on Linux.

There are tools I've used for this before, including mingw-w64 and MXE. These work, but they have downsides:

• They aren't binary compatible with MSVC's runtime libraries, so you're forced to bundle a separate runtime somehow.

; patch to make the sea dragon class work in FE3
; has not been extensivley tested
; so, caveat emptor

; the effect of this patch is:
; - using the unobtainable dark dragon stone turns Tiki into a Sea Dragon instead of a Dark Dragon.
; - the Sea Dragon's battle sprite is switched from Fire Dragon > Ice Dragon,
;   because I think it matches the map sprite better.

; These patches replace a bcs in both locations to enable Aum's use anywhere in the game.
; The checks for the chapter number/tile are still performed, but the result is discarded.
; Note that this doesn't remove the PRF lock of either the B1 or B2 version.

Ranged weapons in FE3

You may have noticed that in FE3, if you hack a siege weapon in player inventories, they behave a little oddly.

If you haven't done that, here are the odd things about them:

• Siege weapons have infinite range.
• Their animations don't play when PC characters use them.

Here is an Asar patch that fixes animations and adds a range check to limit siege tomes to 10 range:

Opening text unique characteristics.

• Text for the opening crawl is actually on the sprite layer instead of BG layer 2.
  • Presumably this is to allow the text to scroll upward while the background scrolls horizontally
  • There are 128 16x16 sprite slots availabe.
  • Sprite OAM data is copied from $7e0210
• Unlike in other text types, not all text in VRAM is shown, and it's not neccesarily shown in order.

Some quick terminology clarification: the opening is split into 6 "sections." Each "section" mattches up with an image shown in the opening. Each section is then divided into 8 "sub-sections" which can be shown at various (relative) positions.
