Any popular game has a terrible fanbase?

Especially when you get them one big forum to jerk off on each other in.

Just finished rescoring a track for my project:
https://soundcloud.com/dimbus-maximus/safari-zoneaviary

I'm going through and scoring final drafts of the already completed tracks.

>tfw have to rescore every legendary theme
I don't even know where to start.
What theme should I remaster next?

You can listen to the rest here:

I also can't into linking apparently...

Are these for the PC to be a pokemon? Pokemon OW sprites in hgss have 8 frames as far as I know, checked a few of the images out and they all had 16.

Speaking of OW sprites for hgss, here's a few of gen 6 .poke files. Phantump line, Fennekin line, Tyrunt line, Noibat line. I didn't do the shiny sprites but that's easy to add in if you are planning a release.

How do I change menu icon sprites in HGSS? Where is it located? The only info I've found is how to change the palette after you've already done it but that's not what I need right now.

I'm adding a mechanic to a dungeon in my game where the player is constantly chased by the legendary golems.

Once on the map, they move very slowly but persistently toward the player.

They aren't always behind the player, but instead can burst through walls or floors unexpectedly, triggering a battle where they are leveled far higher than the trainer's pokémon.

During the scenerio where they can appear, this plays: https://soundcloud.com/dimbus-maximus/running-from-a-statue

The three appear and inhibit progress differently:
Regice will fall from the ceiling and fire icebeam in the player's path, creating temporarily impassible ice structures.
Regirock is the most unexpected, able to burst out of every rock structure; the floors, ceiling, and walls if the player is close to them or in a narrow room. It throws rock smash rocks in front of the player.
Registeel camoflages and can become visible on any floor tile. While chasing it can fade in an out of visibilty. It fires lasers directly at the player, stunning until the "A" button is rapidly pressed enough.

If one is caught, one of the other two will take it's place.

Regigigas chases at one point, as well.
It's enormous and can move in 8 directions.
It can permanently knock down columns and fire beams from its face.
Coming into contact with it doesn't trigger a battle. Instead Regigigas throws the player toward the begining of the dungeon.

They also all have their anime cries.

It's going to be really fun to program.

>>26627466
That sounds kind awful, I think anon.

I do like the music though. Did you make it yourself?

Gen VI emulators/hacks when

>>26627768
Hacks are already about newfriend, but they're not exactly huge ones

>>26626102
Those are the PE versions yes.

/heg/, how do you feel about ROM hacks & fan games that have both Fakemon and official Pokemon? Should they stick exclusively to Fakemon, or is the mix acceptable?

>>26627917
I really strongly dislike a mix of Fakemon and official Pokemon, and won't play a game that does it, but that doesn't make it unacceptable at all.

>>26627745
Yep! Finished it last night.
The regi quest has always been more difficult than the other quests, but I'm changing the way legendary encounters and dungeons work in general. My game has a very difficult post game in general.

>>26629538
What do you use to make Music?
And can it export to MIDI?

>>26629847
I use Cakewalk Music Creator 5, a MIDI based DAW. It does almost all of what it does with midi sequencing, so exporting is a cinch. There are generally better Digital Audio Workstations, but I know my way around this best.

Some others you may want to check out are:
Flstudio-has a free trial period
Pro Tools-runs on Mac
Ableton Live- high level but expensive

I also suggest purchasing kontakt libraries for high quality instruments

bump

>>26627917
I'm not a big fan of Fakemon, but mixing them with regular Pokémon is about equal with having only Fakemon in my eyes, neither of them cross any kind of line.

>>26627917
I don't really see any innate problem with adding any kind of original material.
I feel the problem people have with fakemon is that they are rarely high quality, original, out in the style of other legit pokémon.
Heck, we get near 100 new fakemon every few years. A completely new dex with weird new Pokémon are being released right now. Some will like it some won't.

Is there anything like Essentials, but for RPG Maker MV?

>>26634467
Nope. The Essentials dev has no plans to port it to MV or VX Ace either.

>>26634467
They'd have to recode everything if the moved. MV uses JS vs XP using Ruby.

Can I bump twice?

This thread gon' die

Does anyone know if a hack exists that includes most if not all of the canon regions? I took a look at the pastebin but didn't see anything like that.

>>26627347
Please help

>>26641533
It doesn't exist atm

Wow, page 9.
Why isn't anyone around any more? Working hard?

>>26644576
I've been making a battle theme, but I'm not sure how I should go about continuing it.

>>26644645
I like it but I can hear static.

>>26645206
Probably because I recorded it ingame with VBA

I've always wanted to see a Nordic themed Pokemon game. Not expecting GameFreak to ever deliver and might be interested in channeling some of my autismo towards that. I'll use this thread for asking advice and since I don't want to waste a thread on that. Maybe your ideas can help some more active modders as well to create a game that won't be complete horseshit.

What do you think about naming areas? For example, Scandinavic names don't sound very good in the "X Town/City/Village" format. Is it ever fine to just have a single word for the name of the city? What kind of names are the best for areas in Pokemon games?

How would you personally fix the type match-ups? Let's face it, gen VI still has some balance issues. Bugs are a joke type, Ice is a bit too bad defensively and Fairy is slightly overpowering. I like attempts at fixing balance and making some commons more useful.

Regions. I personally like what GS did. What is the maximum amount a single game can hold and how should they be balanced? I think the GS format works, but I've seen some people want to try the "fresh start" version. This seems hard to implement, unless you can expect the player to take on the challenge consciously.
I don't remember seeing a mod doing this, but I think you could have separate boxes for the regions and "unlock" free use for all boxes after completing the main storyline. If you wanted to force the challenge.

Those are probably my main concerns in modern modding. How well the region and Pokemon mesh out. Not every author is going to have the autismo to script out all the fun extra fluff GF has come out with over the years.
