Thanks for the comment.  When monday comes around, Im going to get this hack started and probaly get it released soon.
Sted is a good game but it has a battle system like the nes version of final fantasy 1.  The purpose of this hack is to compensate for the weird battle system by making the game a little easier.

The bank perhaps?

You'll have to consider both the text and the text routine.
If the text and text routine are in a swappable bank, you'll have to move both.
Otherwise, you'll have to move the text and text routine to another area.
Heracles 1 is a mapper 2 game. I believe that means the last 16KB is loaded into CPU address C000-FFFF, and 8000-BFFF is a swappable bank.
(otherwise, what I've done is ROM expansion. Since HnE1 is a 128KB game, you'd have to copy the first 112KB, add 128KB blank space, then the last 16KB.
If there is too much text to fit in one bank: I would take advantage of the fact that a large part of the NES' CPU address space is invalid (0800-5FFF). Then I make up some kind of pointer system (maybe use one byte as a bank, and the other as a string number within the bank) using those invalid pointer values. Then I modify the text routine to check if the pointer is in the "valid" range (0000-07FF = RAM, 6000-7FFF = cart RAM if present, 8000-FFFF = ROM), if it's not, I assume it to be my pointer system, and read a single character (if the game originally loaded text one character at a time) or a string (if the game originally loaded a string) and go back to the original routine.

I noticed I could make free space in the dialogue section in Bloody Warriors by hacking pointers to consolidate statements made by the townspeople.  I tried mapping an item pointer to that free space in the dialogue section and it doesn't work.  I was also able to find the text routine by setting a read breakpoint with the pointer address.  Is there a routine that checks the pointer to see if it is an item or dialogue pointer?

Im pretty sure that it is in 2 different banks.  Would the text routine check the pointer to see which bank it belongs to or would there be a different text routine for each of the text banks?

I can't speak for your specific game, but possibly one read checks for control codes, and once it has determined that it is reading text, it does another read to get the character. I've seen that in a game I'm working on.

I found the read instruction that snaps the debugger before the text is displayed, when I try to move the function that has the read instruction to another area, the first letter I see blinks and does not print out anymore letters.  I used a savestate to get to an area where I can talk to someone and open up a text window.  When I try to talk to someone the dialouge box will show and will crash before any text is displayed.  The function with the read instruction was moved to free space in the same bank that has the text routine.  Also does the 02 in 02/C363 mean the bank number?
