/heg/ - Hacking and Essentials General

Is Pokémon uranium a romhack?

>>27624700
Nope, It's Essentials.

>>27624700
It's rmxp pkm essential

>>27624700
Someone's probably beat me to it but Uranium isn't really a ""hack"" because it was made with RPGMaker Essentials. It doesn't need an emulator or vanilla game rom to work.

>linking people wanting injections to /wfg/
They won't much like that.

>>27624826
but its a good laff

>>27624826
>this thread isn't for Hacks, Clones, or Injections.
>ISN'T for Hacks, Clones, or Injections.
shit, I can't read.
I was looking for the injection general

>>27624656
where the fuck is the super training booth for attack in uranium

>>27624656
Why do rpgmaker Pokemon games run like literal trash on my computer?

>>27624897
It doesn't use the graphics card for the processes it should, making most games lag like hell if not optimised.
There's probably a work around, though.

>>27624897
Because you own a toaster.

>>27624897
because rpgmaker xp is a meme

>>27624897
RMXP is really shitty when it comes to polish and optimization, I wish Essentials had a good, up to date port for the later version

>>27625034
I'm really considering this, but I don't want to delay my project's completion much longer.

I'm making a thread on PokéCommunity by the end of the week.

Do you have a deathwish?

>>27624871
yeah, hilarious

>>27625225
Why not go all the way to MV?
Time to learn a new language, amirite?

I'm playing Star Sapphire right now. Is there anywhere to buy X Items in this game?

why is map editing in gsc so trash holy fuck
I might abandon the whole project because of that
>2x2 tiles instead of 1x1
>no map editor allows for proper tile editing in client

>>27624826
There's literally nothing wrong with it, haha

>>27624877
Thanks for justifying Sarah.

So why is Uranium's site and forum down?

>>27625729
HRT-induced sudoku

>>27625729
They got too much traffic and their host was being useless. They're currently switching to a different one.

>>27625740
Makes sense. I just started playing last night. Pokemon designs seem mediocre but the UI polish is nice and I'm glad to finally play an Essentials game that doesn't have "dood, what if Pokemon was DARK" as the premise.

>>27611056
So, any success with that so far?
I can try to have a look at it if you want to share the raw script.

>>27625764
I agree its refreshing the story doesn't try to burn its dread. I can ignore the questionable designs for the few I actually like, such as the Fire and Grass starter final evos.

>>27625776
Looking at the wiki, all the starters are two-stagers?

So i played Uranium for about 2 days now, and I think I say it was a waste of time for me and the developers. It's not bad, really, but its not worth 2 or 3 years in the making in my opinion. If pokémon garnet will end up being just like this I won't go any further than the first gym. And I've been following garnet fo a very long time.
By the way, Uranium is better than Zeta/Insurgence, that's for sure. I believe it is at least worth a try. Maybe.

>>27625855
How is Uranium, gameplay and story like? I'm thinking of giving it a try after I give Rejuvenation a try

>>27625855
Garnet's designs are much nicer at least, I hope it turns out well.

I feel like its impossible to do good maps with this 2x2 tile system
go ahead tell me its shit, I agree,
this would be part 2/2 for a big harbor city

>>27626116
How many fucking radio towers does a city need?

I'm finally learning RMXP scripting but I can't work out how to fade bitmap images in and out. Everything I've googled seems to be for RGSS3. Any tips?

So what is the single best romhack?

No, the pastebin doesn't mention it.

>>27626304
Sacred Gold / Storm Silver

>>27625251
RPGMV still uses RGSS3 so porting to MV would be easy. If I recall correctly all you'd have to do is resize some assets.

But porting RGSS2 to RGSS3 will be a very painful experience.

>>27625776
Metalynx looks pretty cool, is there a way you can get the other starters in game, or do you have to trade for it

>>27626304
>because people will really be able to agree on that.

>>27622799
Honestly, you get used to editing things with all the files separated, once you learn where everything is. When I do those music covers I sometimes post here, I have to edit three different files separate from the audio file itself just to put it in the ROM (audio.asm to put the file in, and audio/music_pointers.asm and constants/music_constants.asm to give the song the proper pointers and be able to use it in the rest of the disassembly). That probably sounds excessive but it's just editing a line or two in each, takes like 30 seconds total even if I don't already have the files open.

>>27626116
Honestly, the biggest issue with that map in my eyes is it looks too open for the Game Boy. Remember the Game Boy has a resolution of 160x144, which means in-game you'll only see 10x9 tiles at once.

Honestly though, 2x2 tiles isn't that limiting if you make custom tilesets. I know you can have tilesets as large as 256 tiles, and hacks like XY Naturia have really expansive-looking sets despite being traditional hacking. I've never worked with tileset editing though, so maybe I'll have to try it myself so I can help. The only maps I made were a couple maps I added for test purposes (the test being whether I could add new maps to the game without replacing older ones).

>>27626138
they are not radio towers I'm just using them as a building since the normal houses get too repetitive and you can only build them in the same pattern due to said 2x2 blocks

>>27626451
unsure about how to do it now, but since I had a save from an old beta that was no longer compatible with the new version, the game mentioned storing all my old pokemon into the PC before starting me from the beginning, so I technically have my old fire starter alongside my current grass one.

>>27626116
>seventeen in-town locations you can enter in the same city

>>27626751
What hack is that from?

>>27627094
It's from my own hack that I'm never going to ever get finished because I have no motivation.

Would anyone be interested in having money shoved at them for spriting work? I can't sprite for shit.

>>27628428
the beginning will be a bit confusing I assume
you are starting off watching the oak introduction then you get into player view and see you are actually just standing in an electronics store staring at a screen watching that intro, you'll figure out you are a native hobo kid on an island that is separated into science and native, the shopkeeper will ask if you want to become a trainer. if you answer yes he'll laugh at you and tell you that some washed up professor might be doing charity and that he usually dwells at the port store with the other natives, I'll playtest with my underage brother to make sure a kid can follow the instructions
of course all of that only happens if I actually manage to get a map editor working and/or learn to understand all parts of pokecrystal

So... how is this Pokemon Uranium you guys speak of? Tried to access their site, but is down for a while

>>27628903
I played a bit of it. The fakemons are a bit odd, and the rival is annoying, but other than that it feels solid.

>>27628743
I'm down for that. Draw me up some designs and I'll sprite them for you. We can talk about pay later.

>>27628743

I'd do it. Already worked for a fan project.

>>27628925
Cool. Will give it a shot later

>>27628903
All things Essentials considered, pretty comfy. Rival is kind of annoying (and not in the fun way,) some of the fakemon are a little weird or stupid (and others I absolutely adore,) but it's been fun to play through and I'm glad to have something to tide me over in the pre-S/M drought. I'd say it's worth a download to see if you're into it, at the least.

>>27628903
It feels tryhard to me. The devs wanted to make something that felt professional, but it just comes off as a sterile adventure laced with memes.

>>27624897
Right-click on the .exe > run with graphics processor > whatever option is less shitty

Might not show up depending on your system, might not help if your system is a toaster. But also not entirely your fault; Essentials isn't really that optimized in general.

>>27625251
I have no idea how MV works. Doesn't it use (somewhat limited) plugins?
I would be down for helping port it to ace though.

Or we could just make it from "Scratch" in Love2D using lua. (Not fun.)

i'd be up for it, here's some examples of my work. i also did the crystal groups earlier that had spyro and banjo in them.

>>27629015
I will see to it. Im pretty much sure I will need fangames to entertain me while I wait for SM

>>27629039
Half of what you said applies to XY. It's not as if I'm expecting much from fangames anyway. I just want a bit of fun. If it's Pokemon gameplay, it's already delivering most of what I want

I want a game with fuckloads of exploration. Any romhacks like that? Essentials is fine too

>>27629954
Dark Energy has a fuckton of sidequests. It's currently unfinished, but the current beta has about the same level of content as GSC; by the time the east half of the region is finished it should be huge.

Only play it if you can handle a little cringey dialogue and love huge routes, though.

(Designs are rather meh by the way, but this is the general gist of them.)

>>27630293
Uranium finally released, it's been bretty good so far if you can handle fakemon. Alchemist has long-ass routes, if that's not a problem it's honestly pretty nice, but it's not done yet. (It's playable to postgame, but the postgame is still being worked on.)

It's pretty alright so far, but the graphics aren't really at a stable condition right now.

>>27635222

>>27635312
What do you mean by that? Are there missing sprites sometimes, stuff like that? I can get over that sort of stuff

What I mostly care about is whether I'll be able to play the game to completion instead of being cutoff at the third gym or something.

>>27635222
i don't know

>>27635364
They're doing some really cool graphical things, but it's just in its beta stages.
For example, the trainers running sprites are HGSS style still, instead of the style of the walking sprites.

>>27637992
with essentials you don't need to piss around trying to figure out how to implement incredibly inane simple shit and you're not stuck to having FRLG looking game #542

>>27637992
Essentials uses a more modern code and it's easier to plug-and-play features other people have created, at the cost of being PC-only while emulators can play on your fucking calculator at this point, having some pretty unoptimized code, and attracting cancer like the Reborn fanbase, not that ROMhacking doesn't have its own forms of cancer.

explain your no doubt well reasoned opinion

I haven't asked for feedback on my WIPs in like two weeks so I have a new one.

https://soundcloud.com/mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-1/lentimas-town-gbc-8-bit-wip

I've never tried covering a song with this style and I'm just asking for general opinions rather than a specific style. The MIDI I ripped from Black 2 isn't as helpful as most of them, it's like some of the pitches are off in the MIDI compared to the actual song so I have to check the original version more often than usual.

>>27642597
*rather than a specific section

>>27642597
It sounds great, but at 0:10, the lead is a bit off. I believe it's a bit low?
There might be a pitch bend in the original that I'm thinking of.

What is the best size to go with if your not going with any existing gens spriting size?.

Just wondering did anybody ever make a hack of X and Y for the GBA yet? If not are there any good hacks that have that generation of Pokemon in it and/or use mega evolutions? Never played that gen and feel like I'm missing out because I don't have enough cashola for 3ds

How is it to you?

>>27644001
Yeah Pokémon.

>>27644340
Nice groove

>>27643470
Well, it depends on what kind of style you're going for. Emulating gen 4 or 5? 96x96, though most Pokemon are below 80x80. Ethereal Gates goes with like 192x192, where the sprites are sized at that instead of just being enlarged when playing the game at RMXP's normal size. Uranium also goes for 192x192 backsprites.

>>27644378
What platform are you working in?
If its Essentials, size hardly matters if you position them correctly. Try to stay anywhere between 64 and 128 if you doing anything remotely similar to the canon games.
If you want to go hi-res like pic related, 128-256

I just want my sprites to look as clean as possible. I use essentials by the way. One last thing how do I go about making tiles from scratch?.

bumperino.

>>27644636
Tiles are 32x32 in rows of 8
You're probably going to scale this up from 16x16 by a factor of 2 to make spriting quicker though.
The cheapest way to go about doing this is constructing a grid of 16 x 16 squares 128 wide which are in alternating stark colors for a background.
Try to make them specific like (0,255,0)green and (0,0,255)blue, so that you don't use them by accident.
Back it up and sprite over it Then just erase you background in Gimp or PS.

>>27648416
well you're a hack and you enjoy mystery dungeon so I'm going with yes.

shitposting aside the tools aren't good enough yet, but you can do some stuff like change starters and change the portraits.

With these hacking tools, can I change what items are sold at stores and how much they cost? Also can I change how Pokemon evolve?

>EV trained team
Actually, they're no tougher than vanilla mons. An EV trained team will have a much easier time against them. You've got more pokemon in the wild, use them to beat the gyms.

Is there a way to give absolutely everything in the game the same IVs?

>>27653013
Looks cozy. Maybe a bit confusing to navigate though. It's a bit weird how that house on the left is inaccessible.
You should lower the rightmost tree in front of it by 1 tile if you want it to be accessible from the water.

>>27653013
There are some weird things going on with the cliff on the right. The bottom part should be 2 tiles high.

I'm playing that Gary FR hack someone posted in an earlier thread, but I'm stuck after giving Giovanni the old pokedall. I need to go on the cycling road but where do I get the bike voucher?

working on a basic ORAS to hack, that right now is mostly just me tweaking numbers. One of the things I've wondered in this process, is if it's possible to tweak the type effectiveness chart currently?

I'm sure creating entirely new types would be a bitch, and that's not something I'm interested in, but I want to try tweaking the type effectiveness charts (like changing all immunities to only be resistance, for example). Anyone know if this is possible?

>>27655331
Yes, tweaking the chart is possible. However, you need a CFW for it to work without crashing, specifically Luma3DS or ReiNAND.

>>27655586
That's fine, I'm already running Luma3DS through Arm9. I just can't find how to actually tweak the chart. I don't see the option for it in pk3DS, and alternative tools for gen6 hacks aren't really a thing as far as I can tell. Or if it can I must be looking in completely the wrong area.

Recompile from latest commit.

The level curve in Rutile Ruby seems really odd to me, my two main mons are 3 levels stronger than the average trainer without grinding while the rest are 15 levels under the rest. And I can't train them because they just get smashed by contemporaries and older trainers give almost no EXP. Any solution to this?

What's the name of the Crystal hack that changes the mechanics of the game to make it harder, like not being able to use items in battle besides X-Stat items, and having to beat every gym trainer before facing the leader?

Normal is fucking EDGY. It might be edgier than Pokémon Insurgeance. The game starts out fairly normal pardon the pun but like five badges in:

>you go FULL EDGE
>kill your best friend immediately after it happens
>walk through a hellish route filled with demon NPCs you have to fight, severed heads on poles, etc.
>enter a graveyard town with Lavender Town's theme playing
>meet your "dark side"
>your in-game dialogue is actually edgier than your "dark side"
>by the time your "dark side" asks you to kill five people you've already killed four, including a guy named Apocalypto 555 (555 is supposed to be 666 if you couldn't tell, the hacker didn't want to use 666 for some reason)
>go on a serial murder spree in not-Lavender Town
>almost kill Lance (this game has a Lance fetish by the way, there are like a dozen NPCs that gush about how great he is)
