First our hack will be simple, the characters will be edited and will have new base classes with different stats, meaning they might not have the same use as before. Psynergy will be more powerful, and will be empowered by weapons. The base elements in our hack will be changed as well to those related to fire.
:Mars: Psynergy naming is changed, you will notice that all psynergy in a series are named the same name. The reason is simple, think about it this way, when you learn a new skill for example drawing, the more you draw the more experience you have in that field. Psynergy is the same if i might say, since we cannot have a character over learn a new psynergy when they level up, all psynergy in the same series are named the same name. :Mars:
Since we can not change Venus, Jupiter and Mercury djinn to raise fire elemental power (heard that we need to change the code for that), the psynergy will still have the Venus, Jupiter and Mercury icons along with Mars. This might be changed in future versions.
Things to look up to:
1. Elements will be a combination of an element and Mars, meaning:
a) Venus + Mars will be Magma/Volcano.
b) Jupiter + Mars will be fire storm, this might be confusing but it's the widespread use of flames, fireballs ect.
c) Mercury + Mars will be Steam and flowing fire.
d) Pure Mars well this will focus on excessive flames and fire (ex: Flare series).
2. Classes will be changed to reflect the new elemental theme. Base classes will have new class names and psynergies.
3. Class bonuses now have a total of 610%.
4. Character stats have been changed to reflect there new role.
5. Psynergy will be more useful now since it gets a boost on power and is further increased through weapons.
6. Expect harder bosses, since they will get boost to there stats and will give more EXP and Coin.
7. Warrior types will have access to three weapon types while Mages will have access to two only.
Isaac: Long Sword, Light Blade and Axe.
Felix: Long Sword, Light Blade and Mace.
Garet: Long Sword, Light Blade and Axe.
Jenna: Light Blade and Staff.
Ivan: Light Blade and Staff.
Sheba: Mace and Staff.
Mia: Mace and Staff.
Piers: Long Sword, Light Blade and Mace.
8. Weapons will now boost elemental power and Armor will boost elemental resistance.
Long Sword: Venus + Mars
Light Blade: Venus + Mars + Jupiter
Axe: Venus + Mars
Mace: Mercury
Staff: Mercury + Jupiter
Heavy Armor: Venus + Mars + Mercury
Light Armor: Venus + Mars + Mercury + Jupiter
Robes: Mars + Mercury + Jupiter
9. Djinn names will be changed in order to reflect the new theme. Djinn effects will be changed but will still reflect the djinn name.
10. New weapon type will be added, the Glove which will be a Venus and Mars only weapon. It will not be added to the shop (in the future) and will stay as a drop only type.
11. New sprites for the characters (after the sprite editor is released) that will reflect the new FIRE theme.
12. Classes (non-base) will be re-created with different multipliers and psynergies.

:MarsStar: This Means already done.

:idea: Move psynergy now can be used in battle as well as on the field :!:

Here is a link to the first video of the hack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_E8a_Xyhcw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_E8a_Xyhcw)
Errors and bugs that we already know about:
1. Classes for party 2, as they will not be able to use any other class other than there own base.
2. Some weapons have no use in the beginning of the game. Patch v1.2
3. Soul Burn's animation is meant for a single target psynergy, this will be fixed. Patch v1.2
4. Red Demon in battle sprite appears as a hand due to the Move psynergy replacing the sprite.

Nice, I look forward to the Mars Clan Hack.
Oh yeah, how are you going to work out djinn names?
Have a nice day.
At the moment, we are not gonna edit djinn or there names. But that will be in the future version since i have it in mind ^_^.
Also since i finished exams, i can work more on the hack.
-Where You Gonna Get Saturos And Menardi Battle Sprites??? Cause I'm Making A Hack And I Need Saturos.
Garet without an axe? That's a weird thought.
Yah i know .. since that's his signature weapon ..... might change it ... since we still haven't decided on them yet.
QuoteWhere You Gonna Get Saturos And Menardi Battle Sprites??? Cause I'm Making A Hack And I Need Saturos.
I don't really understand this. We are not gonna have them in the party if that's what you mean.
-Oh So It's A New New Hack, I See.
@D2J: Wrong topic. Also, Saturos' battle sprite is still in GS2, if that's what you mean. Go ahead and look. It really is there. So's Menardi's.
-Not Their OW. I WANT!!! D=
OK this is starting to bother me, D21 WE ARE NOT GOING TO ADD SATUROS TO THE HACK and that's final. Now if you do not mind take this discussion somewhere else and leave this topic for the Hack related things to discuss.
Hi guys, sorry for the double post.
This is a video with the new psynergy. I used Felix, Isaac, Jenna and Garet since they are the ones that i tested. I will upload another video for Ivan, Sheba, Mia and Piers.

Hope you like it.
It looks good, although I am a bit curious as to why Isaac has two psynergy slots with Move. Overall, it seems pretty good so far.
Have a nice day.
All psynergy have the same name.
First Move has lower power than the second one.
First Move learned at level 5 second at level 21 ><

Correction. All Psynergy in the same series have the same name.
Oh, I understand it now (I mean, I was starting to get confused at the Phoenix Rock series as well, not to mention some of the others).
Have a nice day.
Phoenix Rock? hey i don't remember adding this one >< i think you mean Phoenix Inferno
Oh yes, that one. I mixed it up with Fire Stone. Anyway, I have subscribed to the channel now, as I look forward to watching more updates on the hack (I should probably register to a few more channels now, shouln't I?).
Have a nice day.
Cool, hopefully the new video will be worth it too ^_^
And yes i say do subscribe .... like Atrius's channel
Hey if you send me a patch of what you have done so far i can help out since im up most nights. just PM it or post it in my thread.
The patch will be released soon. Now we are only testing for errors and such.

Well guys we are finally releasing our first Clan Hack patch.
Golden Sun - Power of Fire V1 patch: http://www.mediafire.com/?nhfjee0tec7h210 (http://www.mediafire.com/?nhfjee0tec7h210)
Golden Sun - Power of Fire V1.1 patch: http://www.mediafire.com/?d2y88xcrfst8ti5 (http://www.mediafire.com/?d2y88xcrfst8ti5)
If anyone is interested in testing, here is a list of what we want tested.
[spoiler]1. Gameplay in general, test battle against all bosses from beginning till end (Doom Dragon!!). Bosses have yet to have there stats increased. [For those that are planning on using the saves posted in the forum, they won't work for a simple reason: They have max stats cheat in them].
2. New Items have the correct description and effect:
a) Magma Emblem, raises luck, attack and elemental power. Luck = +2, attack = +5 Elemental Power = +5 Venus.
b) Magma Emblem, raises agility and elemental power. Agility +6, Elemental Power = +6 Venus.
c) Mars Ring, raises Hit Points and Elemental Power, HP + 10 and Elemental Power + 8 Mars.
d) Mars Band (supposed to be a hair band), Raises Hit Points, Attack and Elemental Power, HP +10, Attack +5, Elemental Power +5.
e) Lucky Charm, raises attack, defense and elemental power. Attack +5, Defense +5, Elemental power +5 Jupiter.
f) Lucky Charm, raises psynergy points and elemental power. PP +10, Elemental power +5 Jupiter.
g) Mercury Band, raises Hit points, Psynergy points and Elemental power. HP +10, PP +10, Elemental power +5.
h) Mercury Ring, raises Psynergy Points and Elemental Power, PP + 10 and Elemental Power + 5 Mercury.
3. I noticed that some of the psynergy had animations meant for single targets like the animation for Titan Blade, so if you can i need a list of those, i have some of them but more than one person checking is better.
4. ALL Weapons should increase elemental power:
a) Long Swords, Venus + Mars.
b) Light Blades, Venus + Mars + Jupiter.
c) Axes, Venus + Mars.
d) Maces, Mercury only.
e) Staffs, Mercury + Jupiter.[/spoiler]
Ok i think i found a bug. I just passed the guy who thought he was going to die and warns you about the monsters, and when i get into a battle the screen flashes to black, and the battle music plays but nothing comes up.
Its for TLA ... not GS1 .....
-facepalm- My god i must be the biggest idiot ever.....Ok...thanks....
Let me know if there is anything else.
The item Lucky Charm's description uses the name Sheba, but her name has been changed to Sylvia.
Hey, do you have any artwork for the characters that you might be willing to share, or will any pieces of artwork made by kept hidden from us?
Just a heads up, I figured y'all'd like to know - Unleashes like Acid Bath (I think that's what it was) gives us that Mars also has domain over Corrosives. As such, you could say that the domains of mars are Heat/Flame, Explosive/Implosives, and Caustics/Corrosives.
@Jamie: Thanks for pointing that out, the items were made before we decided on changing names.
QuoteHey, do you have any artwork for the characters that you might be willing to share, or will any pieces of artwork made by kept hidden from us?
Errrrrrrrrr not sure what to say here, I'm getting the feeling that this is not meant for us ><
@Role: Thanks for sharing this information.
Edit: I posted a patch with the correct descriptions.

Ah thanks. I forgot about the corrosives.
Also, the hack is now in the Download area. For those too lazy to go find it, or don't want to, click
here (http://forum.goldensunhacking.net/index.php?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=19) to download it.
If you give me a bit, I'll probably have the MonoElement Class Template up. I'm also working on Tips and Suggestions for use in making a hack, so keep an eye out for those too. You may like some of the ideas.
Here is something you will need to avoid for now. Since our hack uses the new separate party 2 from party 1 patch, party 2 will not be able to use any other class other than there base. We will fix this soon along with extra addition to the hack.
Edit: Fixed few "bugs" so please try the new patch.
Double post alert:
Ok guys i changed the link for the newest patch v1.2 since the old patch didn't change anything when applied to a TLA rom. File name should be Power of Fire_V1-2_NEW.ips
Edit: I thought i should state what was fixed in this patch:
1. Felix and Sheba had stats and class multipliers changes.
2. Jenna's psynergy Soul Burn tier 2 and 3 had there animation changed.
3. Felix is now able to use Axe instead of Light Blade making him heavy weapons user.
Another update is on the way so keep your fingers crossed ^_^
Enjoy.
I just noticed something.
YOU'RE STILL DISREGARDING THE FACT THAT ANKHS ARE SEPARATE WEAPON TYPES.
Yeesh, even after them having not only separate sprites here, but separate weapon mastery levels in Dark Dawn... This means all characters in your hack have three weapon types.
Ah yes we did not take into consideration that Ankhs are separated from staff, and now that you reminded me .. i think we will try to come with something for that .... maybe making them mercury only weapons or something else ....
Thanks.
So Mia exclusive? Er, how about not?
Hehe yah I'm not sure about what i can do about it ...... we might even wait for now since we don't have any ideas we can use.
