/heg/ - Hacking and Essentials General

Been working on a Crystal hack using the disassembly lately. It's hard to find motivation sometimes.

Basically I'm just adding all the neat features that were present in HG/SS into the Crystal version. We'll as many that I can figure out.

Replying to my own prompt; personally I've been inspired by the lack of proper gyms.
My hack still remains firmly entrenched in the League story frame, but I've been trying to figure out a way to throw out the Villain Team hang-up driving the plot. As a result, the League Challenge aspect becomes more important to the plot and potential for 'side-quests' to acquire forward-progressing key items opens up.
Pic related is my draft of Cinnabar Island, where Blaine holds court deep within the dormant volcano.

What version of PKHEX supports S&M saves?
PKHEX tells me there is an update available, but when I click on the notification the web page won't load, 404.

Another map, a working draft of Route 17 (cycling road) trying to make it look possible for ships to cross Vermillion Bay. Kind of tough making the island in the middle look organic, going to have NPCs talk about how it's artificial to manage the bridges or something. Also tough making it not just a reall boring route with nothing remotely of interest. I have also considered making it a massive bridge with some parkland on the top and bottom, island in the middle just large enough for the house.

I realized my version is compatible since there are gen 7 pokemon listed.
What about the update though?

I work in spurts. I'll get like 1-4 months of full time inspiration and work, and then nothing for 6 months. I quit 2 months into restarting, did 3 days 2 months later, didn't touch it for 4 more months. I've been trying to make a viable hack for almost 2 years. Learning curve is STEEP.

I worked on a gold hack before the disassembly was mainstream. Did everything with hex editors and map editors, plus pksv scripting. I lost motivation on that after a few months. Came back to working with the disassembly on and off for a year. It is tough.
