A tile or two wider couldn't hurt, the problem is adjusting it because Advance Map is a wonderful tool that hasn't aged a day

>>31558810
Simplistic. Comfy. I need to see more of your work, anon.

>>31559441
The path is weird - it doesn't go to the other houses, they're just sitting on the grass.

The trees around the grass patches make the town uncomfortable to navigate, they're sticking out too much.

I do love the setting and the beach though, I just think the house layout needs work.

>>31560456
I hate to burst your bubble, but I consider that awesome map to be a fluke. A fluke I put a lot of time into, but a fluke nonetheless.

However though its entrance/exit aren't properly tiled yet I suppose I could share pic related. The idea was to have a forest that scaled in elevation while having small passageways used for Cut shortcuts. I might end up redesigning this place when I do my overhaul of my hack's plot, which was a little low-effort because I wanted to be more Gen 3/4 styled and to not accidentally sour it with one character getting 3000 extra lines of dialogue over everyone else or something.

Anybody here from the UK?
I have exhausted my wikipedia and google fu on researching England cities and towns and places of interest. I need to get a feel for the region, but I feel so lost.
I'm doing
>Grass Nottingham/Sherwood forest Robin Hood
>Fire for Manchester
>Water for a mix of Bath, Tenby, and Liverpool
>Light and electric are both in London. Since London is so large, I'm doing two cities like how Celadon and Saffron are both based on Tokyo
>Ground for Gibraltar/Cornwall
>Psychic for Oxbridge
>and Steel for Birmingham and Leeds

Gonna die again edition

I'm working on a demo.
Won't be the main game, but more like a playtest of mechanics and features aimed for a later cut.
Think the Sun & Moon/ORAS demos
It will take place in a section of the regional map and host a few quests.

Some mechanics planned for the demo:
>The Pokétab w/ Porygon OS
>A few select PokéRides
>New Battle and Dialogue system
>Following Pokémon for "Scout Pokémon" only
>Introduction to the Sound Type and PokéBodies

I'll also showcase some important characters throughout the game.

There is a reward in the final version for playing through the demo. Haven't decided what.

I plan to release this demo before May
I'll be back to posting progress webms like the good ol' days :^)

What is everyone's thoughts on starters? Is it a must to have three starters to pick from, or are you okay with there only being one a la Prism, but having lots of variety in the wild encounters early on?

File: test.png (26KB, 768x432px) Image search: [Google]

>>31565740
I'm not sure about the "lots of variety". I think that it shouldn't have a LOT of mons to capture very soon, what would vanish the sense of progression. As a matter of game design, I'd say that the player should perceive progression not only about new species, but more species.

In my opinion, having three options of a three monsters evolution line each is great, but giving just one monster is a cool approach, depending of what you want with it. If you want to give a shitty mon just as a placeholder, maybe it would work. Eevee works great too, since the player have lots of options about how to take care of that Eevee... It's more about thinking of what you want to communicate and what you want the player to feel, and then thinking if it achieves your objectives, I guess...

>>31565664
I'd take care about the select PokéRides. Excluding a fan-favorite monster from the options could result in disapointment. I'd love to know more about the new Battle and Dialogue system.
What are these PokéBodies?

And here's a quick screenshot from my game. The main character from Pokémon Sage is just a placeholder, please, don't worry about him.

That's Cerulean Cape. It lets you access Dim Cave to travel between Route 25 and Route 10.

I'm not quite done with Kanto. The sea routes still need sandbars for more trainers; the southeast bay needs an island; and I'll probably add a sea route across from Route 21 to Route 18, with water currents like in RSE.

Anyone got a good tileset with snow tiles?

It doesn't really look like a first gym to me, it feels like something you'd face as the final gym, like Clair's or Drayden's.

>>31566753
First off, PokéRides work a lot different than Sun/Moon. You basically summon a wild pokémon from the area to assist in tasks, so there are lots of options in pokémon available.

The battle system is a blend of gen V - VII.
It uses aliased animated sprites for less pixilated animation and has visible scenery and trainers at all times. Also, I'm implementing different camera angles and menu as well.

The Dialogue system is still being designed, but I plan to use some sort of mugshot and cutscene mechanic to portray more emotion while keeping up the pace of the game.

Pokébodies are effectively secondary abilities
Like Scizor gets the Abilities Swarm, Technician, and Light Metal
In MM, Light Metal is a PokéBody that halves weight and boosts speed
So it can have Technician and Swarm as Abilities, but will always have Light Metal as it's inate bodily ability
Levitate is also a PokéBody, so Latios and Latias now have Telepathy as their natural ability and Illusion as an event exclusive hidden ability
Also, Pokémon like Blastoise get new Pokébodies, like Thick Shell, which cuts damage done by ballistic moves
If done correctly, it can really balance the game.
Like Garchomp would get the PokéBody Rough Skin and Sand Veil as it's only ability, so not much changes.
Parasect will get a new Pokébody that combines Effect Spore and Dry Skin
And a lot of grass types get passive regeneration in the sun through Photosynthesis

>>31566999
>>31567222
What the fuck is that water place next to Bill's house?

God damn, the flood is immenent.

>>31567582
That's really great implementation.
I especially like the levitate pokebody.
I feel like GF should have done that already what with Mew and the like.

>>31568046
Yeah I want to try some things with legendaries especially.
Like Levitate + Surge Tapus, because they need to be nerfed RIGHT NOW. I'm kidding. I think.

Cerulean Cape. You can go through a cave straight to Route 10.

So, I have light type aka Holy type aka Quintessence is my game. I'm not asking for advice on if I should add it. I know
>Dark means evil in japan bro
>Psychic is holy bro-It's not
>Fighting is holy bro-It's not
I just need your opinions on this type chart
Light
>Strong against Ghost, Poison, Dark, and Dragon
>Weak to Grass, Ground, Steel, and Dark
>Immune to Poison and Ghost
>Doesn't affect Steel and Grass
>Resists Fire, Rock, Water, Flying, Fairy and Bug
>Resisted by Electric and Ground
I think its all fucked up and honestly sounds op when I write it out. Help me sort this mess out.
It's meant to be a defensive support type. Most Light type pokemon are support tier. Only Empyrial (Excalibur) and a few others are actual attackers.

>>31569336
Meant to say
>Resisted by Light+Electric

>>31569336
Does your type resist bug? Then it's wrong.

>>31555617
Hey I just started playing Polished Crystal a few days ago. I haven't gotten very far yet, but holy shit this is like the hack Ive been always looking for. While Lyra (design-wise) is "too new", her supporting personality simply fits. Grats. This is literally the best Gen 2 romhack experience.

>>31555617
Love your hack. Any tips for an aspiring hacker? There are so few resources available.

>>31560525
I like your style, you don't overcomplicate maps. Very early gen style, which I like.

>>31565740
If you only go with one your story better back up the lack of options.
Othewise, three. Two or three stage, whatever; they should either be in a triangle or true neutral. You don't HAVE to have the rival pick type advantage, that's kind of an artifact of gen 1's dickhead rival and 2's wannabe edgy rival that seemed to have become tradition - and having them pick disadvantage isn't a real shake-up to formula. You could have variety of type, because that's fun - like three dragons or something. You could do like Drayano and pick three shits with okay evolutions and buff them/change the moves a little.
If you're going to go with traditional choices though, use one generational set and be done with it. I guess you could stick more in the Safari Zone, but don't expect to find starter pokemon native to a region just because they first appeared in that generation's debut game - after all, Sudowoodo was an unknown Pokemon in Gen 2, there was only 1 in the game, and no Bonsly. Native to Johto? Not at all.
For fun, let me tell you about my first hacking experience: I was going to do Eevee, Pichu, and Cubone, buff stats all around, and have Cubone ultimately evolve into Kangaskhan. Is that retarded in hindsight or what?

Can't you just have tides blocking it, or an NPC saying pool's closed due to sharpedo or something?

>>31570482
What do you mean tides? Is the half-sand/water tile walk-able? Player shouldn't be able to reach it until later in the game when they come around to pass the town en route to another location...

>>31564925

Just looked at the behavior bytes myself - answer is no; same as water tiles.

>>31570317
You need to let the map breathe more, it feels very cramped. I also hate that diagonal use of trees, but that's more a stylistic preference I suppose. I'd widen the space between the left house and the lab and have more empty space on the cliff.

Cliffs also look bad when done diagonally like that; try and make the edges either wider or longer, instead of 1x1.

>>31571595
No problem. Please post your run progress in nuzgen for me. There's a buddy of mine who wants to see that general come back to life again.

How is this? I feel the sand combining with the cliffs gives it an overall peninsular look and better curvature.

>>31571979

Feels better, man. I think some different type of tree in the beach or a beach house in the bottom right would make it better, but it does feel better now

>>31571979
I think it loosk much better, like >>31572046 said a beach house wouldn't look out of place.

I do think the tree in the centre of town looks too small, is there a larger tree you could use there instead?

>>31571979
The lab needs space on its sides, and its cliff probably shouldn't be touching the house.

I actually like the staggered trees, but they're inconsistent with the upper grid-layout ones.

>>31565740
I'm fine with either. Just don't make your single starter Eevee, I've seen way too many fangames where you start with Eevee and nothing else.

>>31566999
>>31567222

>>31572046

Nah, I don't want to mess with the nine tile tree
>>31572138
>they're inconsistent with the upper grid-layout ones.
Yes, that's true.

Alright anons, thanks for the help! I'll keep at it.

>>31565740
My preferred choice is traditional FWG with each starter being from a different gen.

I'm alright with a one starter thing, but I despise how Prism did it because I know if I made the exact same game but made Nosepass the starter people would trash me for it even if I buffed the line to be as viable as any other starter in single player. KBM only got away with it because Tyranitar is a kaiju and that will never not annoy me.

I would recommend also skipping ORAS, but if you're going to play an ORAS hack you may as well play an XY hack. Eternal X/Wilting Y is decent, though no hack will ever fix the horrible characters in XY.

Hey Max, if you're around: did you ever get the footstep sounds working in Essentials okay? How'd you do it?

>>31574048
Not Max but
Parallel process, RMXP lets you store terrain tag as a variable, think you can figure the rest out

>>31574095
That seems inefficient compared to a script, honestly. I'm fine with scripting it, but if I recall Max was running into an issue where the sounds would need to load and lag the game or something. Could be wrong on that though.

>>31574048
It works, but it causes lag if not fully optimized.
I wouldn't suggest doing it yet.

Search "Events.onStepTakenFieldMovement" in "PField_Field"
These are the edits I made in Blue
Unremark the red arrow to get sounds specifically for specific terrain, specific to this case: grass.

>>31572865
I wouldn't recommend skipping ORAS. They're only bad due to the lack of a post-game, the actual main part of the game is pretty good. However, if you can find a hack that adds post-game content or makes the difficulty more your taste, then go for it.

>>31574608
Ah gotcha. Thanks for the heads up and for the script!

>>31574601
Well, my thought process was, and try to keep an open mind please, is that Grass absorbs Light, Steel reflects Light, things underground are hidden from light, and as in damn near every rpg game/fiction ever LIGHT AND DARK are polar opposites of each other. I think that logic is sound.
It still sounds OP on the offensive side which I was hoping you all could help me with that.

>>31574630
Thats what i think I'm going to do. Any recommendations?

When was that pastebin updated? 2015?

This is very nice! Nothing to be changed at all.

>>31576455
Thanks! I did end up putting a little beach house and adjusting the sand/grass accordingly and staggering the rest of the trees but otherwise left as is.

>>31555533
Been planning on working on a region that's island based but I'm not sure how to tackle it. I want each island to be big enough to explore and not just be a couple of towns only having one major thing to do there. Actually have each be something to really invest in and appreciate. I believe it's possible it's not like each area has to be a certain size for the world map I'm more concerned creatively with what feels like the right size.

>>31576146
Well for starters, all Gen II hacking these days (not counting old unfinished hacks whose creators are still working on) are done via disassembly hacking. It's pretty much editing the game from its source code, and it's a lot easier than the old methods of hacking.
https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal

This is a good tutorial for basic things regarding pokecrystal:
https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=378692

A lot of what you'll learn is basically learned through poking around the files and learning what things are though, it definitely takes some getting used to if you want to hack this way, especially if you're used to the old ways. The #pret IRC is a good place to ask questions about how to do things if you're stuck, and you can of course ask here as well.

>>31575808
>When was that pastebin updated? 2015?
Yes. I've been putting off updating it because there are some old, not-very-good hacks (or not good by modern standards) in there, and I want to cull some of the worst ones before piling on even more. I want to set up some kind of thing where everyone plays specific, predetermined hacks from the list and rates them, and if consensus says it's bad it gets removed from the list, but I haven't taken the time to organize how it would be done, whether it would be here or in a separate thread or what.

What content is in your ideal ROM hack or Essentials game? Not necessarily one you're making, but the one you want to play.

Is adding more eevelutions still too cringy?

>>31579216
Of ultmost importance:
>Nice graphics/art/mappings

>>31581621
Not a bad start, but needs improvement. Very square in the corners, even for Pokemon. You could easily compress this map by making it smaller and moving things closer together. Your tree shadows are off too, if that's something you're interested in fixing.

>>31581920
That snowless rooftop rustles my jimmies.

>>31576857
Probably not. In XY and SM, the player model is made up of multiple models stitched together, due to the character customization. Since ORAS didn't have customization, the player only had one model, which made it easy to replace.

Is it okay to ask about hacks? Sorry butI'm not familar with /heg/.

Haven't played true gen 1 since around 1999 with yellow, normally just played FR/LG, however I feel like trying it for some nostalgia. I was thinking of just downloading yellow but decided a hack could make it more exciting to revisit it. In the suggestions pastebin it suggests red proud eyes but I was interested if anyone has any other other suggestions?

It's all about execution and dialogue.

Let's take Reborn for example. That game does have decent dialogues. Characters do feel human and don't seem forced in their actions. It has a dark setting and that by itself doesn't make it edgy.

Problem is that it keeps throwing in your face how dark it is. "Prayers for this forsaken city" etc.

Now let's take Mystery Dungeon Explores of Time/Darkness/Sky. The future is destroyed and nearly everything is ruined we even see that when we go there. Also, we had to go through Grovyle "dying" on us at a point and our character as well. This didn't make the game edgy, because they pulled off a nice execution.

Anyone else love romhacking but hate how poorly everything interacts with everything else? It seems like every rombase has zero interaction with any tools, and each tool has some kind of unmentioned, negative interaction with each other. It's just insane trying to keep up with and fix everything that pops up.

Not hard. PGE and G3HS work with MrDollSteaks patch if you replace the included inis and rename the ROM to match/set BPRE to MrDS in the hex editor.
Don't just any purported 7fuck-odd base.
Don't use any base with undocumented free space/flag/var usage.
Make backups religiously
Don't be a retard.
Don't listen to that little faggot meme. Keep at it.
Probably don't use the learners quick enhancer either, it's prone to fucking your shit up.

Clearly the solution is for everyone to switch to disassembly bases for all the games. Easier said than done of course, a single disassembly takes years and there's no complete Gen 3 disassembly, but it would be the ideal, no worries about having fifty different tools that all fuck with each other.

Time to bump this dying thread with a question.

Is the RPG Maker VX Pokemon pack considered as horseshit?

Does Bank support Romhacks in any way? Like, can I inject a VC Red 151 hack and somehow import these Pokémon in as well?

>>31590254
I don't know how much people have tried to mess with it regarding its boundaries of what is or isn't legal. Only thing I've heard is any Mew that doesn't have the exact ID and OT from the Mew that came with the RBY 3DS bundle will fail the hack check. There's no location data in RBY though, so a 151 hack might pass as long as movesets and levels add up (no Level 2 Nidokings).

is it possible to fix the battle speed of Platinum and everything else that makes it so sluggish? It flew over my head when I was 10 but now I notice it and it is bothering what is otherwise a pretty solid title.

This sounds awesome, I wish it was a real move. It would make using Cute Charm pokemon more interesting.

We need more Attract gimmicks, but it should come at the cost of an Infatuation nerf. Any ideas? Should it be similar to paralyze? Should it have a shorter turn count (currently 5 to 6 turns). Should it NOT prevent the Pokémon from attacking, but maybe they deal less damage? (Potentially allowing for set-up counterplays while the Infatuation wears off, or something)

guys, i need some advice for someone who knows nothing about romhacking but wants to start

what's the best gen to make hackroms?

i was thinking about using hgss/bw/bw2 and then downgrade the graphics a bit (if possible). the idea is to take a somewhat recent game and work with it. i like the overworld effects in gen 5 but as far as i know, bw/bw2 used a 3d engine instead of sprites like older games.

i imagine gen 5 hacks are harder to modify, but still i'd like to know if i could work with it (like changing the overworld sprites for gen 4 ones). i dont know if im retarded for thinking this, but i assume that gen 5 games have more memory and have less restrictions than previous gens.

also, i'd like to know if i could make the hackrom a patch like prism, i've seen that its harder for jewtendo to c&d you if you make a hack game. i dont know if the whole patching thing works only on the first gens, but i guess it's a lot harder to do

>>31603036
3. Unless you can do 3D modelling, you can't change the maps in Gen 4+

>>31603194
Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

>>31603194
I thought you didn't need 3d modelling for maps until gen 5.

bumo

>>31603036
Gen 3 is definitely the most popular, with lots of tools and modifications and such. Gen 1/2 also have their benefits due to their disassemblies, but if/when the pokeruby disassembly is completed that advantage will go out the window and 3 will be universally the easiest to work on.

>>31603377
Gen IV is just as "3D" as Gen V, it's just less obvious because Gen IV doesn't have the fancy camera angles as often. In areas like the top of the Radio Tower in HGSS it's really obvious that the overworld is 3D.

>>31604899
Fair enough, then. I've seen some map changes in a Platinum hack, butt that explains why there isn't much of map editing in Gen 4 games.

Don't you die yet, /heg/.

I've been trying to play emerald on my 3ds as a cia. But I was wondering if you could extract the same somehow? JKSM doesn't work, should I just use a emulator on homebrew instead?

>>31610188
Why do people always assume for rom hacking you need programming knowledge?
You can use C for advanced gen 3 hacking but almost noone does that.

Most rom hacking goes through tools. Gen 3 has an absolute shit ton of them.
The reason gen 4+ isn't hacked as much is because it lacks a good, bug-free map editor.

Anyways, welcome to the Pokémon Community, where literally just a small couple of projects are actually made in 3D. Hell, I just know the Pokémon Unity Engine and Pokémon3D myself.

Also, getting hung up on 3D makes no sense when 2D hasn't even been fully explored

>>31611379
Because this is aesthetically empty and this allows for actively changing scenery.
I can represent the exact scenery of any overworld tile in the game using my script.
All I have to do is associate a position and sprite.

>>31591563
Your best bet is reading through tutorials before you begin and learning the 'language' of hacking. Flags, offsets, vars, scripting - all very important. I've heard bad things about both G3HS and PGE, but Gamer2020 (PGE) will address concerns directly at his git.
If you find yourself overwhelmed, it might not be for you. It's hard if you have zero programming/coding knowledge or understanding to begin with, but persistence and hard work will enable you to make a basic hack.
If all else fails, try essentials. The language is easier for a beginner and the maps have broader possibilities - the only real advantage to hacking is that hacks have an air of prestige to them because they are so inaccessible to an ignorant neophyte. Plus they feel like an authentic Pokemon game when done well - see Gaia, for example, which blends original tiles and custom tiles together very well, with many more modern features that integrate seamlessly and give it a professional polish.
Good luck.
