/heg/ - Hacking and Essentials General

Come on, don't die on me thread.

Last week I finished porting the SM trainer battle theme to Gen 2 for Polished Crystal, but never posted it here since I didn't see an /heg/ thread at the time.

Bump

I've always shilled out to /vp/ for feedback, so I'm back looking for opinions/glitches. A lot of new stuff is in postgame, but I still want feedback in general. Thanks
Older threads are in the google doc if you"re curious about how the game has grown over time

if you're rangi, your game looks fucking amazing. good luck with it. my pokecrystal still isn't working though ;w;

Anybody know the pointer for the script that triggers Oak to come yell at you for not having a mon in Fire Red? Accidentally deleted it. Using Mr Doll Steak's base, if that matters

>>32089073
Just open a clean rom in advance map and get the pointer from that. Also, Dollsteak's base has more bugs than features. If you're sure you want to use it, make sure you read through its thread to get fixes for a few of them if you haven't already.

>>32089163
Is there a better base? Also, which thread? I've been using the Pokecommunity one.

>>32084878
this is cool!

>>32089701
Not for Fire Red, but Emerald has this: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=374338
Yeah, the Pokecommunity thread. There are fixes for some of the nastier bugs scattered throughout it, but things like Volt Switch, Lightningrod and Gooey will still cause crashes or or weird glitches.

>>32089787
Is that engine upgrade compatible with all the basic tools, like G3HS, G3T, or PGE? With all the new stuff?

>>32090028
Yeah, it should work with all of them. There should also be an ini file for it for PGE somewhere, so you can just use that and it will work.

>>32087889
Not Rangi, just like posting screens from Polished Crystal as thread bumpers since they're usually good shit.

What error are you getting with pokecrystal?

Post MAPS
Also, discuss route planning.

can someone tell me exactly how i can get an emulated HG/SS or platinum or emerald running on my 3ds?

>>32091517
DS emulation on 3DS has like 2% compatibility, just get a $5 flashcart.

Are there any Pokemon rom hacks that

>Are complete to the point of having at least 8 gyms
>Aren't filled with terrible grammar and typos
>Are actually worth downloading and playing

?

>>32092329
unironically Clover

discord invite expired, reup

>>32092349
Unironically no.

Are there any decent hacks that don't follow the 8-Gym/E4 mold?

>>32090697
This is a shitty map, way too spacious. Yes, I know desert's are "supposed to be spacious", but this one has some spots, mostly in the center, that offer the player little-to-no direction as to where to go, which can't be said for any of the desert maps in the official games.

How do I get NovaSun to work with no lines?

I converted NovaSun into a cia and tried using the code.bin with Luma but it ain't working

Official games pull that shit all the time, especially in recent games.
I really don't think the official pokemon games should be considered as a baseline for good mapping.

>Ruby Destiny
Triggered. I know this screen is from the one RD game you didn't recommend but the entire trilogy is like this regarding dialogue quality, which is one of the things anon was asking about. Not to ignore the myriad of other flaws.

Also Flora Sky isn't a Ruby Destiny game to my knowledge, and Liquid Crystal isn't finished.

>>32094781
Oh,thanks for your input.I actually don't even like the mystery dungeon one,always thought Flora Sky was a part of those games and I thought it was finished by now.

>>32094824
Liquid Crystal is apparently "99% complete" but doesn't have everything planned for it like all the Orange Islands. I actually haven't played it (though I plan to soon, I already played Shiny Gold and want to compare it to Liquid Crystal and CrystalDust so I can give an accurate opinion on which is best pretty sure it's CrystalDust just for the accuracy but best to play before saying that for certain) so I don't know if all the actual content from GSC is ported.

You mean regular pokecrystal? What doesn't work, downloading, compiling, running, or some edit you want to make?

Pokemon Zeta Omicron were so bad seeing them played by popular Youtubers inspired me to make my own game.

I should note that only New Bark is anywhere near as bad as this. Why this song is so glitchy but the others aren't is a mystery, but the others so far also have slight problems, usually relating to volume (one channel is louder or softer than another when the relation was less exaggerated or reversed in the original). I think volume is a consistent problem in the hack's music as a whole, it has a habit of making certain parts just too loud in general, usually the melodies.

Still though, I have to give the hacker credit, it's a lot better put together than Shiny Gold, and it doesn't seem like the issues with it are bred from laziness, just the author not spending enough time refining things.

I don't think I'm going to get used to the OC stuff, though. The one rival we've seen so far is better than the ones from Shiny Gold, but the sprite is pretty edgy and it has a fucking Porygon with fucking Conversion2 when I have nothing but Normal-type attacking moves on everything but my Level 3 Spinarak. It fortunately also has the original Conversion so it kept changing back like a retard but in the hands of competent AI that would've been a slaughter.

Also the Poké Mart uses the same tiles as the GSC version recolored to have a more unique palette. It clashes pretty hard.

>walk right into the line of sight of an offscreen Cooltrainer that wasn't there before
>has three Level 8-10 Pokémon of varying types with STAB

This wasn't a rival, this was a random trainer just added at the end of Route 31.

This is going to be one of those "power level your starter and nothing else just to get by using differences in number" hacks.


Just to give an example of all the GB music being slightly off, compare the original Ruins of Alph music:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btfS6dMWhuA
To this:
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1a1rRH4a0OV
The latter only has two sound channels playing in total, instead of three like in the original. The echo is completely gone.

Again, I have to give the hacker credit for incorporating the GB music at all, but it really falls flat. I think CrystalDust has a GB Sounds too, I'll have to see how it handles.

Another example of recoloring Gen 2 tilesets, too.

Wait, wait, I need to stop, I'm pseudo-LPing again. Sorry, I'll stop commenting on every little detail.

I want to try my hand at making a romhack in the future, but I've never actually played one.

What is a very tasteful, perfectly nuzlockeable romhack? Preferably with a new region, but it doesn't need to be. Not interested in fakemons.

Are there any hacks of Emerald that leave the general adventure untouched but adds Pokemon from later generations on top of Gen III's 386? Physical/Special split would be nice too.

Is Blazed Glazed worth playing if I already played Glazed? Does a Glazed save load in Blazed Glazed without issue?

>>32099657
Let me know if it works now!

>>32101203
there is none
none that's finished at least

What's an easy way to make assets for a gen 3 romhack?

Fuck I need my fix of good and creative ideas mixed in with a fuckton of godawful mary sues and dialogue

Please help

I've got the same problem except I want Wilting Y,but I can seem to get the cia dumped correctly.And no one anywhere wants to make any fan game cias.

>>32107175
Those look pretty good!

>pisspoor attempt at watermarking sprites
dude these are so easy to steal anyway who fucking cares
you provided palettes anyway

>not downloading premade cias

>>32108218
Premade?Where?Google turns up nothing or an older version of what I want and I can't seem to find an encrypted base cia anywhere either.

>>32108240
Finally found what i wanted,the key word to google for is "prepatched".ChaosGamez had my game wanted.Had to join them tho.

>>32108208
This is exactly why I don't bother posting in these threads anymore. Sissy faggots like you. Upset at EVERYTHING. Did mommy not hug you enough as a child, you fuck?

>>32109234
Go suck a fat virgin cock you fucking swood. Sitting at your desk all day making SHIT sprites nobody FUCKING cares about. I hate cunts like you.

For what it's worth I've finally got FBI installing Star Sapphire.

>>32107175
why did you smudge all over them

Is there any means of installing Rutile Ruby over Omega Ruby in the same vein as Nova Sun over Sun? SaltySD, extended code and all that?

>>32109465
That's not even the same guy you're talking to

>>32110474
Isn't SaltySD only for SM?Can't figure out what to do for other games.

>>32102014
Guess I'll just have to make my own, then
My only concern is making an overworld where people aren't sure where to go next, because I do not care to make game progression story-based in the least
