General Questions for a beginner trying to Hack FFT.

Thanks, that helped.

How can I go about making a file with multiple color palettes? I don't get how a .bmp file can have multiple layers.

You can edit it in graphics gale or GIMP. I think those ones are used the most.

You'll notice the sprite has rows when you open up the palette, the top row is the sprite, and the one that's more in the middle is the portrait, but this is only the first palette. The rows under these are then the second palette, third, fourth etc...

There's also the Palette Editor that I think Xif made. It's super easy to make palettes with that. Should be in the important links  page

I always forget about this thing But it is indeed a great tool. Here's the link http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=3901.0

the easiest way (for me anyway) is to duplicate your original palette 4 times in GraphicsGale
then use Xif's Palette Editor to adjust the 4 new palettes. (Make sure to use FFT colors!)

Thanks guys.

Got another one-

Sometimes a character (NPC or one in my party) is immune to all magic and physical attacks. Does anyone know what causes this?

[Celdia]

The first thing that comes to mind is that the unit has Wall status. Since there's no visual cue for when that is applied to something you could have given something that and not noticed. Easy way to check of course is when you see a unit acting that way just check it's current status effects. It should list there normally even though Wall was never implemented in vanilla FFT.

[Murex]

Yep. It's Wall status. Just got to change it to protect and shell instead. Thanks for informing me Celdia.

Happy to help. Just glad it was as simple of a problem as it appeared. ^_^
