Does it really make sense to start this on the heels if new info flooding the board with threads?

>>28199861
>Sage is still under development, albeit slowly.
Can we stop pushing this lie?

If the anon who wanted music for his hack is still lurking, I've got 2 new songs.

Costa del sol:
https://clyp.it/sjuyr5wf

Few paths forbidden:
https://clyp.it/f0df1ay5

Costa del sol may sound a bit butchered because I had to remove and replace some things. It was playing too much at once too many times.

>>28199861
I like this region. We haven't had a large island yet

>>28200939
Nice songs, dude!

Are you able to make DPPT/XY styled music too?

Also, any spriters anon able to make some fakemon back and front sprites?

Everything paid, of course.

>>28201026
>paid

>>28201039
Everytime I post on 4chan I notice that I've made something wrong.

>>28201026
I didn't actually make those, I just made them compatible with the GBA (FR), that's how they sound in game.

Costa del sol is from FF and Few paths forbidden is from Seiken Densetsu if im not mistaken.

Oh! Got it. Thank you for your attention, though!

Primary version of Olivine city in Johto. This is the first city the player sees when he first arrives in Johto in the post-game.
Some tiles need to be updated, notably the beach's sand tile, but that's the general layout.
Thoughts/criticism?

>>28201126
Looks nice but why the palm trees?

Any reason as to why Johto as a post-game region?

>>28201126
Really like it, but its odd that they rebuilt the whole city on a raised platform

I wonder if someone will ever make a pokemon game with cities that actually have thousands of houses in a city instead of stuffing it all into 3-4.

>>28202091
I put some palm trees because I wanted to give it a somewhat more "exotic" feel since it's the first city the player sees when he arrives to the new region. And with it being a seaside city it didn't necessarily feel out of place to me.

Johto is the post-game region because the main game takes place in Kanto, so it's a more natural progression than having any other random region instead.

>>28199861
Prism is finally getting released this year. Twitch Plays Pokemon will play it first cause the author is getting help from them to finish it. Then it will get a public release.

What are you guys opinions on fakemons?

>>28202204
Why the hell would you want that? That sounds fucking atrocious from a gameplay perspective, and unless you procedurally generated it or copypasted the same few house positions over and over you'd be wasting tons of effort to create something atrocious.

>>28200939
Yeah I see what you mean about Costa Del Sol but it does it's job. I really like Few Paths Forbidden. All that's needed now is linking the patch with the songs now on Mediafire or something that doesn't require a sign up. Thanks a lot for going outta your way to do this for me. I'll credit you whenever I upload the rom I'm doing. I'll put anonymous I guess.

>>28202405
Hate all hacks that have them

>>28202399
That's actually pretty cool

>>28203117
> Hate all hacks that have them

W-why?

>>28203211
It's a personal thing. I'm just generally uninterested in playing with added fakemon. But what turns me off even more is evolutions or stuff like type edits and fake Megas. They seem to never work.

Just give me a new region with old pokemon or an updated experience in an old region. That's all I really want from a romhack. But that's just me so do what you want

>>28201126
Not digging that umbrella+table tile. It looks poorly resized. Why does the sand have a grid? Otherwise looks nice.

Songs:
507 = Few Paths Forbidden
508 = Costa Del Sol
509 = Aqua Man's theme (also replaces surf)
510 = Different Road
511 = Minish Woods
512-607 = PMD Songs

>>28204115
wait o.0 you replaced all of the PMD songs? I didn't know, that's awesome! So how would I be able to change trainer battle music or anything else. I only know how to change the music on advance map like routes or caves.

>>28204115
Not only that but in Advance Map I'm restricted to only choose the songs from 100-15A. Is there another way where I can change which songs plays where?

>>28204215
I added all the PMD songs, because it was literally a copy-paste, and I'm surprised no one has done it before:

>>28204396
Follow the steps under the Download section to get the new songs to show up.

If you want class-based trainer battle music, just follow do everything here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=293704

>>28203274
Do you hate hacks that ONLY have fakemon? Because Pokemon Sage has some pretty nifty ones

>>28204115
I'm confused as to where the custom songs you made for me be? I know you listed 507-511 but the list of songs in the ini file is in hexidecimal. Are they just scrambled in there and I need to find them or are they the empty slots before the PMD Rescue Team Base song?

>>28205220
Just convert decimal to hex.
507 would be 1FB.
It should say 'Empy slot' but it's really not.

>>28204487
I'd say yeah. I'd much prefer playing a hack with a new map than new Pokemon. There's also the fact that I just don't like fakemon in general. They're usually exectuted badly. If there was a hack with a large amount of fakes I like I'd play it. Like, I probably only like 2 Pokemon in the e tire Uranium Dex and the mechanics sound dumb so I don't see myself playing that

For people who want to make a pokemon mmo

>>28202204
I think the best approach is somewhere in the middle: just have it be over the standard two houses per town/city, but not *too* many. You can easily pull a Goldenrod and pad out the map with some unenterable houses, giving the impression that more people live there. At least, that's what my plan is with my maps.

Any recs for a good a good mobile gba emulator for android. Already got drastic for ds shit.

>>28207190
My Boy. Full version of course.

>>28199861
that gsc map looks really pretty
what is that from?

>>28204474
I need to learn a lot about that so it'll take awhile for me to get the battle music down but from what I read Champion/Elite Four/Gym Leaders themes can't be swapped from what I read. I did read another way through XSE which allows for legendary pokemon to have different themes too so that's a plus.

>>28202204
There is no advantage to doing this

>>28207105
Goldenrod is a good example. In fact, every "biggest city" does this well.

>>28207546
Naljo is the region from Pokémon Prism.

>>28201060
No, it's good. Guaranteed that you'll actually get someone decent to work for you if you pay them just a tiny bit

>>28204487
If it's only Fakemon, it's better. Better than trying to blend them in with real ones, because it feels - and often looks - jarring

Actually does anybody know how to script a song in a battle like when encountering a specific legendary so it wouldn't play the random battle theme? It would be really helpful to know how.

>>28208486
You've probably never comissioned anyone, right?

>>28204115
Did you ever get around to looking at the a lyric-less GBA devamp of the opening theme, music-kun (sorry, I've already forgotten your actual name aah)

i need some good comedy hacks

Pokémon Unity Engine Released!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XozaGOtIGys

>Gen 4 Overworld
>Full 3D
>Android Compatible
>Full Framerate - 0 Lag

I played around with it earlier, and I'm telling you, it's really that good.
Several feature have yet to be implemented yet, but imagine the possibilities.

>>28209759
This looks really really bad.

>>28209872
what looks bad about it
it looks fucking great you mongrel

Anyone know what the hell is happening with the insurgence devs on twitter?

>>28209872
>>28209898
Again, this is the version 1.0.
There's little to no polish on animations or aesthetics yet, but the few things that have been worked on are phenomenal.

Go ahead an try it out.

>>28209914
500+ fan games got a cease and desist on game jolt today. Not all Pokemon, but all Nintendo. Guess some people are being cautious.

>>28209941
Hey Max, anon with the screwed up game you looked at here, if you wanna message me, my Relic Castle is Jttyzzle
Probably a little more convenient than this thread, if you'd like to keep helping me.

>>28210000
Sure, I'll let you know when I get it working.
Might be as soon as tomorrow.

>>28209955
I am legitimately confused as to why this is happening.

>>28209759
Into the trash it goes

>>28209759
Could use a lot of work on the liquids, but otherwise looks really nice.

>>28208707
That would depend on what you're using as a base. I know it's really easy in Gen II, you just go to the section that determines what music plays when a battle starts, create a new battle type (like how Suicune has its own battle type), and have the music function check if you're at that new battle type, and if so have it set the music to a certain song, then have it skip to the end of the function so it doesn't get overwritten.

>>28209759
This looks less shitty than Essentials, I'll give it that, but the battle screen needs some work aesthetically.

>>28200677
I think it is, just offsite (on a Skype group, I think?) Not involved with it, though, so that's all I can tell you.

>>28210467
I'm using Fire Red as a base

So I'm working on a rom hack using the Emerald 650 base, and when I get to the part where Wally has to catch a pokemon, it gets stuck before his encounter begins. one the "...Whoa!" line of dialogue, to be exact.

Any clue what could be causing this? I did mess with the wild pokemon data in that route, but I assumed that as a special event it wouldn't literally rely on an encounter chance.

As a back-up plan, is there a way to just remove that whole event?

>>28207190
>>28207235
Curious, does myboy have a RTC? I saw somewhere that it did, but it doesn't say on the official page, wanna check.

>>28210967
it does

So, question probably to Max: how could I modify scripts so Pokemon in a certain form can have two abilities at once? I ask Max specifically because I remember his game having something similar called Pokebodies.

>>28211692
Haven't figured that out yet.
I do know that it would require adding the new attribute in PokeBattle_Pokemon and Making new readable parameter in the Pokemon PBS file.

This is assuming that you're just adding an "Ability 2", which is just another pool of abilities a pokémon can have.

You'd have to make clones of the ability scripts in PokeBattle_Pokemon.

Also, you'd have to include checks for those secondary abilities in the battle scripts for moves and the overworld.

I know this isn't a lot to go on, but I'll try to make it easier to do when I get to actually implementing them.

>>28211912
Got it. I'll see if i can figure anything out.
